“…Researchers have attempted to explain differences in participation in terms of marginality (e.g., socioeconomic constraints) and ethnicity (e.g., cultural styles and preferences) factors (e.g., Floyd, Shinew, McGuire, & Noe, 1994;Washburne, 1978). Although there was no direct test of these theories in the present study, the on-site survey approach used might have helped reduce some of the marginality factors that can in uence participation-the costs of getting to the park have already been made, and in an urban setting such as Lincoln Park most activities require little equipment cost or user fees.…”

“…This literature has uncovered the potential negative impact of "color-blind" policies on race relations, and specifically highlights the ramifications of institutionalized white privilege (Glover, 2007). This is an especially important consideration for school administrators with less racially heterogeneous student populations, as they must not only consider the interactions between races, but also the status discrepancies involved in these interactions (Floyd et al, 1994;Shinew et al, 2004).…”

“…Different sport activities offer unique structural and social contexts that can create status discrepancies among participants based on race (Floyd, 1998;Floyd & Shinew, 1999). These discrepancies influence participation rates among different races (Floyd, Shinew, McGuire, 1994;Philipp, 1994Philipp, , 2000Shinew, Floyd, McGuire, & Noe, 1995;Shinew, Floyd, & Parry, 2004) and significantly impact crossrace interactions within sport settings (Floyd & Shinew, 1999). In the United States, the status value of race is especially salient in sport (Carrington, 2013;Frey & Eitzen, 1991;Pitts & Yost, 2013).…”

In response to growing racial concerns, stakeholders have called for programs that facilitate positive cross-race interactions. Adolescence has been targeted as the most effective life stage to initiate programs promoting relationships. Since schools are one of the primary social influences on adolescent development, they have been emphasized as a particularly important setting for promoting intergroup contact. Sport plays an important role in the experiences of students, and contributes to intergroup relations within a school. The purpose of this study is to examine the unique effect of sport participation on cross-race friendship selection. Using data from Wave I of The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), mixed-effects regression models and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to assess the effects of sport participation on friendship heterogeneity. Overall, participation in sport activities did not significantly influence the racial heterogeneity of adolescent’s friendship networks.

“…In our study, recreation service use was considerably lower than park use. Some evidence suggests that preferred recreational physical activities may differ and be influenced by race/ ethnicity, culture norms, significant others, and opportunity structure [28,29]. As such, identifying activities that are preferred and culturally relevant are keys to satisfying leisure needs and preferences of Latinos.…”

Gender Differences in Self-Report Physical Activity and Park and Recreation Facility Use Among Latinos in Wake County, North Carolina

2013

Background Lack of physical activity (PA) may be a cause of Latinos' health problems. Latinas may be especially at risk, and public parks and recreation services may be a logical place to address PA deficiencies. Purpose The objectives of our study were to investigate Latino gender differences related to (1) self-reported work/household and leisure-time PA, (2) perceptions about PA and parks/recreation services, (3) parks/recreation services behaviors, (4) and preferences for activities/programming. Methods This is a cross-sectional survey completed by 457 Latinos. Results Significant gender differences were found for work/ household PA but not for leisure-time PA. Use of parks and recreation services were similar between genders, but Latinos stayed significantly longer per visit. Latinos and Latinas significantly differed on park activities and preferences for recreational services. Conclusions Even though parks/recreation services are viewed as viable options for Latinos' PA, the study identified gender differences that inform health promotion interventions to be more effective in targeting Latinos.
