“…https://doi.org/10.53819/81018102t4180 Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the active involvement of the local community in hosting sports events has a positive impact on tourism development in Uasin Gishu County. These findings align with previous studies by Chang et al (2020) and Rich et al (2022), which also demonstrated that locals engage in sports events proactively, assuming roles as both "carriers of identity" for the destination and members of governance committees. Their active participation is instrumental in driving the achievement of tourism goals within the destination.…”

In the 21st century, sports events hosting has emerged as a strategic tool for enhancing tourism sectors in various destinations, including Kenya. Despite this, academic research on the viability of sports events hosting as a tourism product in Kenya has been limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore the influence of local community involvement in sports events hosting on tourism development in Uasin Gishu County, with a specific focus on the urban area of Eldoret and its metropolitan regions. The study's theoretical foundation is based on social exchange theory. The research design adopts a cross-sectional approach, with 552 respondents. The sample includes 384 locals, 152 sports tourists, six event managers, eight hotel managers, and two tourism county officials. Data collection involves questionnaires and interview schedules. Quantitative data is analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), employing descriptive and inferential analyses. Qualitative data undergoes text/content analysis, and its integration with quantitative findings is presented during the discussion. The study's findings reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between local community involvement in hosting sports events and tourism development (r=0.723, p=0.000). Impressively, local community involvement accounts for 52.2% of the variability in tourism development. Based on these results, the study concludes that local community involvement significantly influences hosting sports events and is associated with regional tourism development. To optimize the benefits derived from hosting sports events, the study recommends adopting a local community-centered approach in managerial, policy, and marketing aspects. By incorporating macro-level involvement through community groups and individual participation, a more equitable distribution of benefits can be achieved, fostering tourism development. Keywords: Local community involvement, Sports events, Hosting, Tourism Development, Uasin Gishu County.

“…Alexandris and Carroll (1997a) stated that there is a negative interaction between motivation and leisure constraints, while Raedeke and Burton (1997) found a negative correlation between interpersonal constraints and community sports and leisure participation. When the recent findings on leisure constraints are analysed, it becomes clear that these studies generally focus on leisure constraint negotiation (Kim, Park, & Kang, 2022; Kono, Ito, & Loucks‐Atkinson, 2021) and individuals who are perceived as being disadvantaged in the community (Rich et al, 2022; Stodolska, Shinew, & Camarillo, 2020). In this manner, the constraints on community sports and leisure participation lead to social exclusion rather than promoting social inclusion in the community.…”

Although leisure constraints that individuals have to cope with can negatively affect their social inclusion and satisfaction with life, little research has addressed the link between these variables. Therefore, the current paper examined the moderator role of leisure constraints on the relationship between satisfaction with life and leisure constraints among adults living in five different European countries. The respondents were 1,382 women and 877 men adults. The findings of analysis revealed that all factors used in the study accounted for 15% of the variance in satisfaction with life and social inclusion had a significant and positive impact on satisfaction with life. As a result, it can be said that leisure constraints had a moderating effect on the relationship between satisfaction with life and social inclusion. The present research study recommends that social inclusion should be encouraged through decreasing to leisure constraints to increase the life satisfaction.

“…However, other studies have found that despite the implementation of PA promotion campaigns at the national level, difficulties in adapting to each environment may hinder implementation at the local level [92]. Developing programmes based on participants' needs and their environment favours their implementation and success [38].…”

“…Public institutions generally aim to promote PA among the entire population [31,32]. However, despite many existing studies regarding the factors associated with inactivity and PA among different age groups [33][34][35] and especially among adult women [36,37], conducting a contextualised assessment before designing, developing, and implementing public policies to promote PA among women is still necessary and beneficial [38]. While considerable progress has been made in identifying women's PA patterns, there is still a need to develop questionnaires that are meaningful to women, culturally relevant, short, and easily understood by people from diverse backgrounds [39].…”

Inactivity is higher among women than among men, and there are few specific questionnaires used to assess physical activity (PA) in women that are truly meaningful to them. This article tackles the design and validation process of an ad hoc multidimensional questionnaire to assess leisure time physical activity (LTPA) among adult women of Gipuzkoa. The questionnaire was completed by 3595 adult women (43.5 ± 12.1 years), 32% of which were inactive and 68% of which were active. Content validation, ecological validation, and internal consistency analysis results were satisfactory. The Gipuzkoa Women’s Physical Activity Questionnaire (GWPAQ) consists of four dimensions and 21 items. Barriers to PA were found related to intrapersonal, environmental, and socio-cultural aspects. The importance of family and spousal support in increasing PA levels was also observed. It is concluded that the GWPAQ is valid for obtaining evidence that can be used by public institutions to optimise women-specific PA promotion policies.
