ABSTRACTBuilding on the concepts of sport spectatorship, leisure involvement, serious leisure, identity, substitutability of leisure behaviour, and the leisure constraints and facilitators literature, this sequential mixed methods study examines sport spectators’ behaviours and their perceptions of public health during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as changed leisure behaviour and participants’ opinions regarding the health-related impacts of spectator sports. Utilizing a content analysis approach, this paper summarizes the qualitative, open-ended responses from a web-based survey administered December 2021 through March 2022. Participants’ experiences of leisure barriers, leisure facilitators, health concerns and new leisure behaviours, as well as participants’ overall public health perspectives of sporting events during COVID-19 are presented. Potential areas for future research are also discussed, specifically regarding changed leisure behaviour and socio-political complexities indicated among participants.KEYWORDS: Sport spectatorCOVID-19leisureleisure constraintsleisure facilitators Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the 2021–2022 Department of Counseling, Recreation and School Psychology Collaborative Projects on Equity, Diversity, and Social Justice Internal Grant.

RESUMENEl presente trabajo reporta la manifestación de signos de colonialismo intelectual en el campo de estudios del ocio y la recreación en América Latina. Entre estas se reconocen el racismo epistémico, la soberbia epistémica, indefinición epistémica, incongruencia epistémica, dependencia epistémica, subordinación epistémica, provincianismo epistémico y la incomprensión de la tensión histórico-epistémica. La superación de estas trazas colonialistas parte, en primer lugar, del reconocimiento que como comunidad multidimensional del conocimiento en la región podemos hacer. A posteriori, convendrá seguir proponiendo en la línea de debate propositivo, aun en los más relevantes foros y espacios de la sociedad del conocimiento.ABSTRACTThe present work reports the manifestation of signs of intellectual colonialism in the field of leisure and recreation studies in Latin America. Among these, epistemic racism, epistemic arrogance, epistemic indefiniteness, epistemic incongruity, epistemic dependence, epistemic subordination, epistemic provincialism, and the lack of understanding of historical-epistemic tension are recognised. Overcoming these colonial traces begins, first, with the recognition that, as a multidimensional knowledge community in the region, we can make. Consequently, it would be advisable to persist in proposing in the context of propositional debate, even in the most pertinent forums and spaces of the knowledge society.PALABRAS CLAVE: EpistemeconocimientoociorecreaciónAmérica LatinaKEYWORDS: EpistemeknowledgeleisurerecreationLatin America Conflicto de interesesEl autor declara no tener conflicto de intereses.Notes1 El texto en cursiva planteado en la cita, es nuestro.

ABSTRACTThe COVID-19 pandemic and its associated lockdown in South Africa led to the closure of leisure spaces, and Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres, forcing parents who were non-essential employees to work from home. This created a crisis for families, with significant consequences for family leisure time and activities. This paper explored the impact of the pandemic for parents with pre-school aged children (PSAC) and aimed to identify changes to family leisure during this period. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires (n = 140) among parents at three selected ECD centres in Cape Town. The findings indicated that participants experienced higher emotional and tiredness levels because of the pandemic-induced changes, often neglecting themselves in their attempt to balance work, life and care for their PSAC, without their traditional support structures. The findings confirm a significant impact on family leisure, with leisure activities decreasing, and switching from outdoor, relational to home and family-based activities. The study identifies the type of leisure activities and changes caused by the pandemic and the effect it had on parents’ work-life balance and overall wellbeing.KEYWORDS: Familiescrisisleisurewellbeingwork-life balance (WLB)parentsPSACCOVID-19South Africa Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTIn recent decades, the number of extreme outdoor sports in the natural environment has increased significantly. It could be said that, nowadays, extreme outdoor sports are more popular than ever. Part of the explanation probably lies in the fact that we find ourselves in the socio-historical context that Zygmunt Bauman called liquid modernity, which has transformed several activities, previously considered as marginal and/or exclusive, into mainstream. The concept of liquid modernity illustrates how social structures and identities are characterized by unpredictability and change in contemporary societies, and among its consequences we find the pluralization of outdoor physical-sports practices. Through 18 semi-structured interviews, this study set out to better understand the impact liquid modernity has had on extreme outdoor practitioners. A hierarchical content analysis led to the identification of two main themes: (a) freedom and intensity, and (b) a plurality of practices. The paper concludes with a number of practical implications and suggestions for further research that would continue to shed light on the phenomenon of extreme outdoor sports and their practitioners.KEYWORDS: Extreme outdoor sportsrisk-takingsensation-seekingliquid modernity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTThe Global South has been largely excluded from equestrian sport and leisure debates. In particular, the equestrian experiences of children in developing countries have remained silent since most of the studies on equestrian sport and leisure have focused on the experiences of adults in the Global North. Despite the fact that equestrian sport and leisure are part of children’s practices in countries of the Global South, very little is known about the benefits of equestrian sport and leisure in early childhood education in developing countries. This research explores the contribution of equestrian sport and leisure to children's informal learning. From an ethnographic approach to children's equestrian practice in Mexico, the study reveals that equestrian sport and leisure contribute to developing socialization, teamwork, discipline, and interspecies communication skills in children. This paper contributes to incorporating countries from the Global South into the global debates on equestrian sport in general, and on children in sport and leisure in particular.KEYWORDS: Global Southequestrian sport and leisureinformal learningcharreríachildren in sport and leisureMexico Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (grant number: 6724/2022CIB).
