“…Although Bowers and Hunt (2011) demonstrated a historical shift in 1960's away from valuing the play-oriented, sport-based programs, the opportunity to play within sport (often in unstructured sport) can help foster participant enjoyment (Bowers & Green, 2013;The Aspen Institute, 2015). Moreover, the competitive aspect of sport also has been a noteworthy source of enjoyment for participants.…”

Given sport has been largely absent from U.S. public health policies and discourse, the author suggests ways that sport can be better managed to promote health. Using a critical perspective and grounded theory approach, the experiences of 14 men in the grassroots recreational program, F3, were explored. Data were collected through observation and semi-structured interviews.Based on the results, a conceptual model that suggests how sport should be managed to address illnesses related to physical inactivity is put forth. The resulting Sport as Medicine model indicates that Creating a Team Structure, Providing a Place to Be Accountable, and Ensuring No One is Left Out, led to meaningful Health Outcomes, including Physical Health, Mental Toughness, and Social Connections. As the distinctiveness of sport continues to emerge, the author provides a framework to consider how sport can be part of public health efforts to address physical inactivity. Thus, this work positions sport as medicine by pinpointing how sport can be managed so that holistic health outcomes are more likely achieved.

“…The second way Miller [ 23 ] identified Foucault’s contribution to leisure studies is by centering on leisure governance, that is, governments’ and institutions’ use of leisure to protect and perpetuate specific discursive frameworks. For instance, heads of state such as U.S. Presidents Kennedy, Reagan, Nixon, and Obama have promoted engagement in physically active recreation to keep populations healthy and strong [ 64 ]. Similarly, in the 19th century, factory owners promoted organized recreation activities to control their employees’ lives and promote habits to keep them healthy and fit to work [ 65 ].…”

Many people experience domination as they encounter oppression and marginalization because of power differentials limiting their leisure. We rely on Foucault for guidance to examine connections between power and opportunities for people to be included in leisure and recognize that, like Foucault, we experience privilege. Considering such privilege, we explore power and people connections, scrutinize ways power influences leisure, and examine methods to promote or resist power to increase leisure. Drawing on the analysis of power and leisure, we examine how discourse influences leisure and identify ways to facilitate inclusive leisure. We consider these aspects via Allen’s (1998) modalities of power-over, power-to, and power-with. Analyzing these modalities, we address barriers to leisure associated with power, strategies people use to engage in resistance through leisure, and ways inclusive leisure might occur. We conclude that each person can make positive contributions and offer inclusive leisure.
