“…Outdoor activities, and the many different modes of transport used for outdoor leisure activities, such as biking, jogging, canoeing, etc., have also become more common ( Johnson et al, 2021 ). However, access to outdoor recreational activities may have varied both spatially and socioeconomically during the pandemic ( Dashper & King, 2021 ). This could mean that groups who already have access to a plethora of modes of transport also have more alternatives in terms of outdoor activities, and vice versa.…”

“…Our findings reveal that engaging in social and recreational activities is an important resilience practice among individuals living with physical disabilities. Access to nature is an established social determinant of health with clear benefits to physical, mental, and social health (Dashper & King, 2021; South et al, 2020). Access to nature has become critical during the public health measures of physical distancing and can provide a refuge and escape from household confinement.…”

“…For example, in our study, experiencing outdoors was not a common theme among individuals with SCI whereas it was heavily emphasized by people with stroke or other physical disabilities. Furthermore, COVID‐19 highlighted that the outdoors can be a site of exclusion for many people, including people with disabilities (Dashper & King, 2021).…”

This community‐based study explored resilience practices among people living with physical disabilities (i.e., stroke, spinal cord injury, and other physical disabilities) during the COVID‐19 pandemic. In this photo elicitation study, during 1:1 interviews, participants shared and described photos that reflected their pandemic‐related experiences. Data were analyzed thematically to identify resilience‐related practices. Our analysis revealed three themes: (1) reflecting on the importance of family, friends, and community (e.g., recalling past memories and strengthening existing connections); (2) engaging in social and recreational activities (e.g., experiencing the outdoors and gardening); and (3) reframing personal contexts and social environment (e.g., adjusting to new social norms and overcoming physical barriers to navigating safely during the pandemic). The resilience that participants identified encompassed not only individual strategies but also family and community supports. Resilience can be fostered through community initiatives that support more equitable responses to health emergencies for people with disabilities.

The Covid-19 pandemic affected virtually every country in the world and many people’s lives. This research investigates the effect of Covid-19 on rural sports in the UK, specifically on the equestrian sport of endurance. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is used to determine levels of emotional investment pre, during, and post Covid. Contrary to the upward trend of consumer spending on recreation over the past five years (Statista, 2022), Endurance GB paid membership has declined year on year with a large drop in 2020 as lockdowns hit the UK according to Endurance GB membership data. This was combined with questionnaires sent out to all current Endurance GB members in September 2021. Respondents were asked about how Covid-19 had affected the continuance of their sport. The results showed that 81% planned to join as normal next year but 18% were keeping an open mind and would re-join when things were back to normal. Secondary ride and membership data for 2022 showed that membership was tracking in line with 2019 and early season rides were full, indicating as much enthusiasm for the sport as there was pre-Covid. However, by mid-season memberships had dropped slightly and ride entries were lower than expected. Some membership patterns changed, with a large increase in registered supporters and riders doing pleasure rather than competitive rides. During Covid focus dropped from “belonging” to “safety and security” (Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), with the higher needs becoming redundant.
