Leisure engagement, especially sports experiences, has been identified as a robust predictor of subjective well-being (SWB). Two aspects of SWB are hedonic well-being (HWB) and eudaimonic well-being (EWB). HWB emphasizes pleasure and positive affect, whereas EWB involves meaning, purpose, and virtue. The majority of empirical leisure and sports stu...
Attracting participants to events such as marathon leads to expectations of increased socio-economic benefits within the host region. Furthermore, the classification of runners is important for continued running of such events, while participants’ sense of attachment to these events is also critical to repeat participation. The spotlight of this re...
In recent years, leisure, including sports and physical activity, has been shown to have positive effects on life satisfaction. However, enough empirical evidence regarding long-distance running has not yet been provided. Additionally, running event participants’ attitudes regarding life satisfaction with life-long sports needs to be understood. Co...
Running is one of the most popular activities in the world. Runners' attitudes and behaviors vary depending on their running style. This study aims to construct different measures of running specialization based on the theory of specialization. This study also tests a runner's stage of specialization segmentation based on recreation specialization...
On June 11th, 2017, the Japan Sport Agency announced the outdoor sports promotion declaration. To promote outdoor sports in Japan, the Japan Sport Agency and local governments have been working on the sustainable development of nature-based sport tourism. However, the population of outdoor sports including skiing and snowboarding has decreased. In...
Over the past two decades, sports tourism has become significantly popular worldwide. Marathons, an especially popular type of athletic event, have both influenced and been influenced by tourist activity. In this regard, profitable and sustainable marathons may necessitate that event planning practitioners understand event participants’ attitudes a...
Participation in outdoor recreation has declined in Japan, especially among adolescents. For example, in 2013 no outdoor recreation activities were ranked in the top 20 most frequently participated sports by Japanese adolescents. Conversely, in Canada where sport promotion policies are well established, participation in outdoor recreation increased...
Since the 1990s, questions related to social capital have attracted widespread attention from academic researchers. However, to date, little research has examined the relative contributions of nature and nurture to social capital in community sport settings. In this study, we investigated the relationship between community sport settings and social...
The purpose of this study was to examine similarities and differences in outdoor recreation
constraints between Japanese adolescent proactive and reactive response groups (Jackson et al.,
1993). To do so, this study conducted a questionnaire survey of undergraduate students at Kobe
University. Based on their frequency of participation in outdoor re...
Given the Basic Act of Sport and the Sport Basic Plan, it is reasonable to state that it is time to reconsider lifelong sport in Japan. Therefore, this report examined the three following examples by focusing on the relationship between lifelong sport/leisure and community: (a) the world recognized tourist destination-Jasper, Alberta; (b) the Commu...

This type of sport tourism event has shared with completive and enjoyment factors in relation to participant's motivation. Loyalty is a very important factor with attendance to recreational s...
Social capital has been emphasized as a way to solve various community problems, and sports are considered one way to build social capital as a catalyst for that purpose. Comprehensive community sport clubs offer not only various sports but also opportunities for communication among club members. However, most traditional community sports clubs are...
Research models should be grounded in sound theory. This applies to models attempting to elucidate why individuals participate in recreational sport event.

... Secondly, the relationships among involvement, festival attachment and satisfaction remain unclear and inconclusive, if not contradictory. For example, there is a lack of consensus on the relationship between involvement and festival attachment (Brown, Smith, & Assaker, 2016;Fulthorp & Plunkett, 2019;Okayasu, 2021). ...
... In addition, each group perceives its recreation experiences differently depending on its specialization level and is likely to express distinct revisit and recommendation intentions (i.e., destination loyalty; Giglio et al., 2015;Hwang & In, 2013;Okayasu et al., 2021;Song et al., 2018). Accordingly, the information of each specialized group's destination loyalty can help travel professionals determine target groups and ascertain services that should be improved. ...

... Another explanation is a potential difference in LTPA discourse between the two societies. Perhaps, it may be that LTPA and an active lifestyle encompassing mild activities are more deeply rooted in Canadian culture than its Japanese counterpart, while "physical activities" in Japan might still be strongly associated with structured, strenuous activities based on the idea of physical education (Okayasu, Ito, & Yamaguchi, 2013). ...

... In the development of community sports, there are two factors, namely the contribution of education and work which are indeed a common goal in improving social relations through community sports participation in the community. In addition to the UK, there are other studies conducted in Japan by Okayasu et al. (2015) which states that to encourage the development of social capital in formal and informal community sport settings. This is recommended because the findings under study there are no significant results between social relations and community sports rules in communities that are at the formal and informal levels. ...
... Within a sport context, research has found various variables that can positively influence event loyalty. These variables included personal resources (e.g., time, money) (Yoo et al., 2020); sport event image (Kaplanidou, 2010); destination image (Kaplanidou and Vogt, 2007); destination atmosphere (Kaplanidou et al., 2012); satisfaction Kaplanidou and Gibson, 2010); sport subculture and the individual's identity or immersion in the sport (Buning and Gibson, 2016); event brand (Yoon et al., 2010); place attachment (Tsai, 2016); customer experience (Mascarenhas et al., 2006); resource exchanges (Okayasu et al., 2010); and event personality (Alexandris, 2016). ...
... These alternatives tend to take root in small residential areas from which members are convened, just like the neighborhood-related civic activities did so in the past [26]. Presumably, the benefits from engagement in these alternative activities would be similar to that from the outdated ones, as some scientific evidence exists on higher rates of social participation and better psychological well-being found in those participating in the contemporary ones [23,28,29]. From this historical perspective, lively neighborhood activities shape a reassuring and inclusive community, which we assumed can lay the groundwork for DFCs in Japan. ...
