“…Sports participation was higher than the GP in adults (PWH: 70% vs. GP: 58%; P < 0,01) and similar to the GP in children (68% vs. 72%; p = 0.33) 28 . Table 4 shows differences in favourite sports between both adults and children with haemophilia and the GP.…”

“…Sports participation and self‐reported limitations were assessed with standardized questionnaires (MAQ 17 and HAL/PedHAL 19,20 , respectively) which have been extensively used in haemophilia research 10,11,29,30 . Both the data collected in the HiN6 and the GP data were self‐reported, assessing sports participation over recent months 28 . Self‐reported assessments often lead to an overestimation of sports participation.…”

Introduction Although sports participation is advocated in people with haemophilia (PWH), detailed data concerning sports participation in Dutch PWH is lacking. Aim to assess sports participation in Dutch PWH (6‐65 years) compared to the Dutch general population (GP). Methods Data from a nationwide, cross‐sectional study in PWH were analysed. Sports participation (type, duration, frequency) was assessed by the Modifiable Activities Questionnaire (MAQ), limitations in activities using the (Paediatric) Haemophilia Activities List ((Ped)HAL). Sports in the two highest categories according to the National Hemophilia Foundation classification were considered high‐risk sports. Groups were compared using Chi‐square testing. Results A total of 524 Adult PWH (median age: 45 (IQR: 30–55); 37% severe) and 126 paediatric PWH (median age: 11 (IQR: 8–14); 52% severe) were included. Sports participation was higher in adults (70%) than the GP (58%) and similar to the GP in children (PWH: 68%, GP: 72%). High‐risk sports participation decreased with age in PWH: from 65% (6‐12 years) to 17% (50‐65 years), which was also observed in the GP. Sports participation in children was independent of severity (non‐severe: 67% vs. severe: 65%; P = 0.97), but not in adults (non‐severe: 75%, severe: 62%; P < 0.01). Non‐severe PWH played more high‐risk sports than severe PWH: children at 65% vs. 48% (P = 0.05), adults at 25% vs. 15% (P = 0.07). Discussion These results suggest that sports participation in PWH was comparable to the GP. Sports participation was dependent of haemophilia severity in adults. Children were more involved in high‐risk sports than adults. More studies on sports‐related injury‐risk are needed for adequate counselling.

“…Using a repeated cross‐sectional study over the period between 1991 and 2007, it was previously reported that more recent generations participated in sports more frequently than older generations in the Netherlands (Tiessen‐Raaphorst, Verbeek, de Haan, & Breedveld, 2010). A higher prevalence in sports participation in every more recent generation would suggest increasing trends in the overall prevalence in the Dutch population, and a small increase has indeed been noticed before (Hildebrandt, Bernaards, & Hofstetter, 2015; Tiessen‐Raaphorst, 2015).…”

“…A few explanations could be given for increased sport participation, such as an increased awareness and attention for PA as part of a healthy lifestyle, a greater diversity in type of sports and available local sports facilities, and lastly sport has more become a prevailing standard (regular part of life) (Tiessen-Raaphorst et al, 2010). Interestingly, higher sports participation is not reflected in a higher percentage of sports club membership, which is shown to be stable over the period (van der Poel, Heijmakers, Pulles, & Tiessen-Raaphorst, 2018.…”

Generational differences in health-related factors will affect forecasts of future disease patterns and health care needs. We studied whether participation in sports activity and being physically active are different between 10-year generations over a part of their life course. We used three different datasets on Dutch adults: a cohort study running for 20 years, the Doetinchem Cohort Study (DCS), multiple yearly databases (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015) from the Netherlands health interview study (HIS), and a retrospective cohort study on life time sports careers, the Sports Participation Monitor (SPM). Based on a different questionnaire in each study, frequencies of weekly sport participation and being physically active according to recommended levels were determined by generation and sex. All data sets showed that self-reported sport participation has been increasing with every 10-year generation already for many decades. Especially for those generations born in the 1930s up to the 1960s, sport participation is higher compared to their predecessors. For instance at age 50, 43% of those born in the 1940s engaged in sports activities compared to 55% of those born in the 1950s (DCS data). Physical activity according to recommended levels showed no systematic differences by generation.In conclusion, favourable generation-specific trends in participation in sports activities are found: recent generations are doing better than the older generations. It is unclear whether this also reflects higher levels of physical activity or lower levels of inactivity. Future research may reveal whether these developments also hold for other countries, and whether these developments continue for the younger generations.

“…Nowadays, public spaces in cities are welcomed by organizing different events [Ujma-Wąsowicz, 2012;Smith, 2015], as well as by Carmona and Gehl asserting that public spaces should be accessible to everyone [Carmona, 2010;Gehl, 2010;Ujma-Wąsowicz et al, 2021]. Running in public places has grown in popularity, particularly on public roads [Cooper, 1990;Tiessen-Raaphorst, 2016;Deelen et al, 2019]. However, public spaces have been designed for someone who is healthy and strong [Xiang et al, 2006;Giles-Corti et al, 2019].…”

Mass street running has become one of the most popular sports that has taken place in the city's center for many years. The interest in the participation of people with disabilities in street running has increased. Policymakers and urban planners are also aware that improperly designed public spaces create a physical barrier for disabled people to participating in street running independently. However, very limited research exists to introduce physical barriers in public spaces for disabled runners. The aim of this research was to introduce perceived physical barriers in the city in-between buildings for disabled runners. The data were randomly collected through an online survey of 110 disabled street runners. Chi-square analysis was carried out to find the results of perceived physical street elements and the avoidance of the running environment's surfaces that become barriers for disabled runners. The t-Test was conducted to explore differences between physically disabled and visually impaired runners in their perception of the barriers of the running environment. This study concluded the perceived types of street surfaces that should be avoided in running environments and perceived barriers in-between buildings that have a negative impact on the organization of running for disabled runners. However, the perceived attributes in-between buildings positively influence running organizations and encourage participation of physically disabled and visually impaired runners in the running environment. Urban practitioners should prioritize revitalizing in-between buildings through developing accessibility to remove all the impediments that may encourage and promote more disabled people to participate in street running.
