Constraints to Leisure in a Healthy Later Life

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Leisure in Later Life

Part of the book series: Leisure Studies in a Global Era ((LSGE))

Abstract

Leisure studies, leisure science and critical gerontology are the three main disciplinary fields that are synthesised and evaluated. Leisure constraints theory, with its roots in the 1960s outdoors recreation movement, offers ways of understanding why people do not do ‘what is good for them’. This selection of everyday leisure research suggests that some people are successfully negotiating all kinds of leisure in later life. There is a new cohort of healthy people in an extended later life in the twenty-first century in the UK who have grown up and grown older with ‘active ageing’. The changing demographics have ramped up the active ageing rhetoric, but it is not clear how they negotiate between the promises of affluent fun and the threat of illness and vulnerability. There is a lack of agreement about what constitutes active and passive activities and their potential for enhancing or endangering later lives.

Notes

  1. 1.

    1984 is the year James Fixx died of a heart attack, aged 52. He started the jogging craze in 1967, following the early death of his father who died of a heart attack at age 43. His jogging was inspired by a will to improve his own odds, which he did, but the irony of his famous death was widely reported. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/22/obituaries/james-f-fixx-dies-jogging-author-on-running-was-52.html.

  2. 2.

    At this time in the UK, unemployment had been over 10% since 1981, but fell rapidly in the early 1990s, rose again briefly, but by then the researchers had moved onto other research. https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peoplenotinwork/unemployment/timeseries/mgsx/lms. Unemployment in the USA had already fallen by the mid-80s, so the audience for this research was reduced. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000, despite another peak in the 1990s.

  3. 3.

    This is something I noticed myself, it is still an error in the online article.
