    Questioning policy, youth participation and lifestyle sports

    Get PDF
    Young people have been identified as a key target group for whom participation in sport and physical activity could have important benefits to health and wellbeing and consequently have been the focus of several government policies to increase participation in the UK. Lifestyle sports represent one such strategy for encouraging and sustaining new engagements in sport and physical activity in youth groups, however, there is at present a lack of understanding of the use of these activities within policy contexts. This paper presents findings from a government initiative which sought to increase participation in sport for young people through provision of facilities for mountain biking in a forest in south-east England. Findings from qualitative research with 40 young people who participated in mountain biking at the case study location highlight the importance of non-traditional sports as a means to experience the natural environments through forms of consumption which are healthy, active and appeal to their identities. In addition, however, the paper raises questions over the accessibility of schemes for some individuals and social groups, and the ability to incorporate sports which are inherently participant-led into state-managed schemes. Lifestyle sports such as mountain biking involve distinct forms of participation which present a challenge for policy-makers who seek to create and maintain sustainable communities of youth participants

    "Federal regulations on herbicide use change frequently; this means you need to keep informed on the status of label clearances. Labels include information on application restrictions, but they may not always be up-to-date on recently approved new uses or removal of previous limitations. We have tried to make recommendations in this guide conform to laws and regulations. Research has shown these recommendations to be sound from the performance standpoint. However, future developments in research and label clearance probably will require that some modifications be made."--First page.L.E. Anderson, E.J. Peters, Howell N.

    "Alfalfa weevil larvae caused moderate to heavy damage in 1983 to the first cutting of alfalfa over the entire state. Adults and late developing larvae also caused some heavy damage ti regrowth following removal of the first cutting over much of the state. Alfalfa acreage in Missouri is now about 600,000 acres."--First page.Rick L. Brandenburg and Ralph E. Munson (Department of Entomology), and Howell N.
