This study investigated the short-term impact of a foam roller exercise as an intervention to improve hotel housekeeper range of motion (ROM). Researchers conducted a quasi-experimental study among hotel housekeepers at two hotels. Five housekeepers at the first hotel participated in 30-minute per day group foam roller exercises during a six-week study period. Seven housekeepers at the second hotel served as a comparison group, not participating in the exercises but completing the range of motion measurements at the beginning and end of the study. Interviews were conducted among the experimental exercise group to obtain their personal feedback regarding the foam roller exercises. This study found significantly improved range of motion in the shoulders, hips, and wrists of the exercise group after six weeks of daily foam roller exercises. No significant changes in range of motion were found in the comparison group. Qualitative data collected from interviews with exercise participants revealed the following benefits of the group foam roller exercises: muscle relaxation, reduction of body pain, providing a feeling of overall wellness, enhancing energy, and improving team relationships. This study provides evidence that foam roller exercises may be an effective intervention to improve range of motion for hotel housekeepers and may mitigate their body pain induced by their cleaning tasks. Foam rollers are user-friendly and cost-effective and can be used by hotel housekeepers or workers involved in physically demanding jobs as recovery tools.","PeriodicalId":92714,"journal":{"name":"Recreation, parks, and tourism in public health","volume":"26 1","pages":"65 - 76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80783878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inquiry using frameworks such as Critical Race Theory (CRT) allows for deeper investigation into phenomena such as racism and discrimination, acknowledged as a threat to public health. This study utilized the contemporary methodological research approach interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA), an approach originating in psychology and increasingly being used by researchers in the realm of human behavior and well-being (Smith et al., 2009). The research consisted of in-depth interviews with four Black recreational runners regarding their recreational experiences, focusing predominantly on their experiences running and race per recommendations of the specific six-step research approach recommended by the methodological approach used. A complex relationship between racial and leisure identity was presented by analyzing interview transcripts, constituting two themes, \"Be safe, stay safe\" and \"Tough situations and the growing process.\" Although the assumption that by not noticing and addressing race is taking a morally correct position, the position also served to evade the role of power, politics, and race in the lives of the runners and the impact discrimination has on everyday leisure experience.","PeriodicalId":92714,"journal":{"name":"Recreation, parks, and tourism in public health","volume":"380 1","pages":"35 - 54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80655119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vignettes included three park scenarios with an exposure to a different substance and one control scenario of only experiencing nature. Participants were invited to answer items about demographics, current substance use, and vignette enjoyment. The findings indicate that the highest level of park enjoyment was from the nature vignette. Moreover, users of a certain substance had higher ratings of enjoyment when exposed to that same substance within a vignette.Conclusions: Results from this study indicate policies that prohibit tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and marijuana from park grounds could maintain or enhance visitors' overall park enjoyment.","PeriodicalId":92714,"journal":{"name":"Recreation, parks, and tourism in public health","volume":"23 1","pages":"21 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84964166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Spending Characteristics of Bass, Salmon, and Walleye Fishing Tournament Anglers in Wisconsin","authors":"Erickson, Leis, Simpson","doi":"10.2979/rptph.3.1.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2979/rptph.3.1.10","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:BACKGROUNDCompetitive fishing is a growing sport throughout the United States; every year anglers from across the country come together to compete for an array of prizes.OBJECTIVEThis study investigated the spending characteristics, trip information, and basic demographics of bass, salmon, and walleye fishing tournament anglers in the state of Wisconsin.METHODSSurveys were conducted electronically from fifteen bass, salmon, and walleye fishing tournaments throughout the summer of 2014 to determine angler spending habits in the community hosting the fishing tournament. Anglers' expenditures were assessed in nine categories: housing, grocery stores, restaurants, automobile transportation, boat operation, fishing equipment, boat launch fees, entrance or parking fees, and entertainment.RESULTSTotal median spending amounts for the bass, salmon, and walleye tournaments surveyed were $555, $371, and $1,562 respectively. Housing accounted for bass anglers' largest expenditure; salmon anglers' largest expenditure was boat operation, and walleye anglers spent the most amount of money overall with their largest expenditure also being housing. Trip information along with basic demographics, such as age and residence zip code, were also collected.CONCLUSIONThough cash output varied between tournaments studied, it can be concluded that anglers participating in all fishing tournaments spend significant amounts of money. Several key factors contributed to higher amounts of money spent per angler: high rates of non-local participation, more time spent in the host community, more time spent practice fishing, higher participation of anglers over the age of 36, long tournament durations, greater tournament sizes, and the generally positive reputation of the tournament. Understanding economic data associated with fishing tournaments is vital as communities consider the desirability of these events pertaining to a range of factors such as fish mortality and impacts on the experience of local non-tournament anglers; this study helps bring to light the spending characteristics of anglers fishing in bass, salmon, and walleye fishing tournaments.","PeriodicalId":92714,"journal":{"name":"Recreation, parks, and tourism in public health","volume":"52 1","pages":"155 - 174"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77612693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, some of these places and activities are threatened by impacts from climate change. This study examined local climate change—related health vulnerabilities that are likely to affect park attendance. A mixed methods approach combined data from 18 key informant interviews and a statewide on-site intercept survey of 1,775 visitors to Missouri State Parks and Historic Sites. Our findings revealed areas where visitors perceived health impacts, including heat, vector-borne disease, and storms in state parks, as well as broader global concerns. However, our findings also revealed that visitors had blind spots about actual threats and may react to those that may not be salient. Resource managers can plan for health-related climate-change adaptation by creating educational messages to help visitors protect themselves from the specific health impacts most likely to threaten their well-being while seeking to debunk myths. Park visitors are an important subset of the population for identifying health threats related to climate change and could benefit from interventions based on their beliefs and concerns.","PeriodicalId":92714,"journal":{"name":"Recreation, parks, and tourism in public health","volume":"83 1","pages":"37 - 64"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81080690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-income children from diverse backgrounds in rural areas are most at risk, but many treatment programs are implemented in urban health facilities outside the communities where participants live. To date, many programs report high attrition, and show little success. This may be due to few programs utilizing personalized services that incorporate community based programming.OBJECTIVESNew Impact, a childhood obesity treatment program in South Carolina, broke from standard treatment models by establishing partnerships with rural YMCAs to provide accessible, personalized programs. This study focused on what components of the YMCA partnership contributed to or constrained participants' engagement in health behaviors.METHODSData were collected via one-on-one, semi-structured phone interviews with child participants of the program, and, in some instances, their parents. Data were coded by individual members of the research team, and cross-checked for continuity in the findings.RESULTSEffective elements of the program included the variety and one-on-one attention that programs at the YMCA provided. Ineffective elements included buy-in from all family members, and feeling intimidated by the size of the YMCA and other members.DISCUSSIONIdentifying effective childhood obesity treatment and prevention strategies is becoming an imperative. Lack of success with standard models of treatment indicate that innovative approaches are necessary. The New Impact program and the data presented here identifying effective and ineffective elements are preliminary to establishing effective collaborations with local and community partners as a viable direction to address the growing problem.","PeriodicalId":92714,"journal":{"name":"Recreation, parks, and tourism in public health","volume":"28 1","pages":"47 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76031159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
