“…Challenging the centrality of differences also serves to emphasize the need to understand women's leisure, as well as men's, in the context of their everyday experiences as mediated by social structures (Samdahl, 1992;Samdahl & Jekubovich, 1993a;Shaw, 1985). It also suggests that for women (and men) in particular life situations such as family responsibilities, the concept of "full-circle leisure" (Bialeschki & Michener, 1994) may account for within-gender differences.…”

Using data derived from two provincewide surveys of the general public of Alberta, Canada, two empirical questions were addressed: (a) What constraints to leisure do women and men experience, and (b) how does the context of personal and situational circumstances (e.g., age, income, and family structure) filter the effects of constraints among women and men ? Several differences emerged between women and men in terms of the intensity and nature of the constraints, leading to the conclusion that women are overall more constrained in their leisure than men. The data also demonstrate that the experience of leisure constraints is characterized by as many within-gender differences as between-gender differences. Selected context variables related to age, income, and family structure are mediating factors that alter, reinforce, or alleviate constraints for women, depending on the nature of the context and on the type of constraint. The study points to the need to think in terms of diversities and pluralities rather than dualisms and universals. From theoretical gender perspectives, we conclude that constraints to leisure for women are a function of cultural interpretations of gender and not just biological sex.

“…While these subjective experiences are considered less measurable than standard health benefits and hence do not attract the same degree of import in the evidence-based discourses of public health, they are important to note. When constraints literature on women's participation in LTPA is considered, gender, in particular the "ideology of motherhood" (Spowart, Hughson, & Shaw, 2008) and the related gender-based roles, sex role expectations, issues of body image (Evans & Allen-Collinson, 2014), and cultural stereotypes (Bialeschki & Michener, 1994) are all evident. These gendered discourses, and the power relations produced, work to persuade women to conform to norms and expectations of motherhood sublimating their needs beneath those of others.…”

Mothers with young children: Caring for the self through the physical activity space

Mothers with young children have been consistently identified in public health discourses as having lower levels of leisure time physical activity than the general population. They are subsequently positioned as an at risk population susceptible to, for example, weight gain and postnatal depression. Women's ethic of care and good mother discourses work together to constrain mother's physical activity levels. In addition, public health discourses attempt to mobilize mothers into engaging in regular, rigorous sessions of leisure time physical activity, which often creates a calculative relation to self as women try to meet the expectations prescribed by health professionals. In this article, however, we employ Foucault's ethics of self to explore how 18 mothers with young children problematized and resisted prescriptive notions such as the ethic of care to create a space to begin to practice self-care through participation in leisure-time physical activity.

“…In addition, social support has a significant influence on intention to participate in leisure sports (Bialeschki &Michener, 1994;Kay, 1998). In particularly, social support is highly positively correlated with sports participation motivation of adolescent population (King, 2001).…”

During physical, social support also affects the change in students' attitude towards sports. Therefore, in order to propose suggestions for improving physical education, this study enrolled students participating in sports team in Taiwan as the research subjects and performed investigations them to develop the participation model for students in sports teams and provide constructive strategies according to it, in order to effectively improve students' sports participation. According to the research conclusions, the goodness of fit of the overall measurement model is good, the convergent validity and discriminant validity are acceptable, and most of the relevant indices all meet the criteria. This study used path analysis to analyze the path coefficients among various variables, and discovered that all of the paths were significant. The potential variable that has the most significant influence on participation motivation is social support, namely, the influence of social support on participation motivation is more significant.
