- W2220323215 abstract "Competing in the Senior Games reflects serious leisure participation, and investigating serious leisure of older adults may add new insight into the body of knowledge related to sports tourism. The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of competing in the Senior Games as a form of sport tourism, and how it contributes to successful aging of older adults. Ten in-depth interviews with older adults who participated at the National Senior Games were conducted to collect data for this study. Five central themes emerged from the data that describe the Senior Games experiences by older adults: (a) perseverance (b) career development and significant effort (c) personal and social benefits (d) unique ethos, and (e) identification as a senior athlete. While there were some challenges associated with competition, participants generally agreed that there were various personal and social benefits. Sense of belongingness and interaction was the central issue of participating in the Senior Games, which was the most important benefit they sought. Participants identity as senior athletes was important because they could make this importance known to others. They sought out opportunities to become involvedin the Senior Games because it enhanced their sense of self. The findings confirm Stebbins’ (1992) serious leisure framework which suggests the positive relationship between depth of involvement and well-being of older adults. Promoting participation in the Senior Games as a sport tourism experience may be a new focus in tourism marketing to bolster sport tourism and enhance successful aging." @default.
