“…However, in this study, students with self-reported disabilities were just as likely to enter the recreation center than students without a selfreported disability. This finding is contradictory to those of Yoh, Mohr, and Gordon (2008). Yoh, et al's study examined the use of recreation facilities among college students with physical disabilities.…”

“…Only nine percent of female students with disabilities used the facilities more than five times in a semester, while fifty-eight percent of male students with disabilities used International Journal of Sport Management, Recreation & Tourism 22 school recreational facilities more than five times per semester. The authors are well aware that the institution where the Yoh, et al (2008) study was conducted was well equipped with programs and adaptable equipment that accommodated students with disabilities. Furthermore, research consistently reports that the physical activity and sport participation among people with disabilities is significantly lower than the general population (Gillespie, 2002;U.S.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine student entry into a campus recreation center based on seven demographics (gender, ethnicity, age, class standing, intercollegiate athlete vs. non-athlete, students with self-reported disability vs. non-disability, and campus residence) in order to determine who would be most likely to enter the recreation center. Subjects were from a mid-western, four year state-assisted institution with combined enrollment of 23,932 undergraduate and graduate students. Of the 23,932 enrolled, 14,032 students were examined in this study. Information on student entry to the recreation center was collected through the university's student information system. Data was analyzed and interpreted using chi-square analysis. Results of the study show statistically significant differences in the demographics except the student disability demographic. More males than females, more African Americans than other ethnicities, more traditionally aged (18-25) students than non-traditional students, more underclassmen than seniors, more athletes and non-athletes, more residents than commuters were likely to enter the campus recreation center. The findings in this study could be used by collegiate recreational sport directors and administrators, in the United States and internationally, for future ideas about programming in similar recreation settings.

“…Yet, as Fujii and Woodard (2006) stated "accessibility refers to not only architecture but also to the programs provided and availability of information" (p. 6). Furthermore, Yoh, Mohr, and Gordon (2008) found in their study of the satisfaction level of college students with physical disabilities toward the recreation facilities on their campus that use and satisfaction with the recreational sport facilities by these students was significantly low, with over two-thirds of respondents claiming they used the facilities less than five times per semester. The implication of this finding is that while campus recreation administrators and staff may be in compliance with ADA regulations in terms of the accessibility of their facilities, accessibility of programs and information must also be high priorities.…”

On the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it is well known that postsecondary institutions' programs, including campus recreation, must be accessible to people with disabilities. This study critiqued the inclusiveness, and specifically, the welcoming environment of campus recreation programs in the Big Ten by conducting a content analysis of those institutions' websites. Campus recreation programs were targeted because their purpose is to serve the recreational sport needs of all students, faculty, and staff in the campus community. The content analysis used enumerative techniques for determining frequencies as well as qualitative coding techniques of manifest and latent coding. Enumerative results indicated the majority of schools offered minimal programming and equipment for people with disabilities while four themes emerged from the qualitative analysis. The results are discussed along with recommendations for campus recreation programs in creating a welcoming environment and a more inclusive culture for students with disabilities.

“…Individual studies of undergraduate students with disabilities reported 90% of students with disabilities never attended an organized campus recreation event as a participant or spectator, and 88% reported never utilizing facilities during open recreation (Hodges, 2000). In addition, the level of participation in physical activity among persons with a disability declines during adolescence and sees the most rapid decline during the college years (Yoh et al, 2008). These findings suggest that recreational activities and intramural sports participation by students with disabilities differ significantly from that of traditional students (Hodges, 2000).…”

This study examined factors surrounding the development and advancement of campus intramural programming for college students with physical disabilities. Campus recreation staff from 164 universities completed a survey examining campus programming for students with and without physical disabilities, marketing, modifications, barriers, needs, and strategies for developing adapted and inclusive intramural sports programming. Weight training, cardiovascular training, and personal training were among the most reported programming designed to include students with physical disabilities. Wheelchair basketball is among the longest-running intramural programs with sitting volleyball, goalball, and beep baseball increasing in popularity. Environmental and equipment accessibility was a predominant strategy and accommodation to facilitate inclusive programming, with the primary reason for not including adapted or inclusive intramural programming attributed to lack of request or too few students with physical disabilities on campus. Additional results and discussion address best practices and recommendations to initiate and improve programming for students with physical disabilities.
