The purpose of our study was to analyze financial data for 123 regular season home games to understand the influence of day of week, special promotions, opponent, month in season, time of game, and season on ticket sales, merchandise per cap sales, and food and beverage per cap sales for a NHL team. Ordinary Least Squares regression results revealed that the game day variables included in the models explained 52% of the variance in ticket sales, 70% of the variance in merchandise per cap sales, and 48% of the variance in food and beverage per cap sales ( p < .05). Findings provide practical implications for teams who hope to maximize game day revenue.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF SPORT MANAGEMENT}, author={Kelley, Katharine and Harrolle, Michelle G. and Casper, Jonathan M.}, year={2014}, month={May}, pages={253–265} }

Latinas may be especially at risk, and public parks and recreation services may be a logical place to address PA deficiencies.The objectives of our study were to investigate Latino gender differences related to (1) self-reported work/household and leisure-time PA, (2) perceptions about PA and parks/recreation services, (3) parks/recreation services behaviors, (4) and preferences for activities/programming.This is a cross-sectional survey completed by 457 Latinos.Significant gender differences were found for work/household PA but not for leisure-time PA. Use of parks and recreation services were similar between genders, but Latinos stayed significantly longer per visit. Latinos and Latinas significantly differed on park activities and preferences for recreational services.Even though parks/recreation services are viewed as viable options for Latinos' PA, the study identified gender differences that inform health promotion interventions to be more effective in targeting Latinos.}, journal={ANNALS OF BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE}, author={Casper, Jonathan M. and Harrolle, Michelle Gacio and Kelley, Katharine}, year={2013}, month={Feb}, pages={S49–S54} }

Partnered with a North Carolina nonprofit advocacy organization who recruited community leaders (promotores) to administer the survey to Latino constituents.Latino communities in Wake County, North Carolina.Respondents (N = 457) were mostly women (58%), with a mean age of 34 years (SD = 11), low income (70% < $39K/year); 78% were born outside the United States, with a majority from Mexico (52%).Sociodemographics; Stanford Brief PA Survey; constraints on PA were measured with 20 items assessing seven constructs (accessibility, facilities, knowledge, partners, psychologic, safety, and time).Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, t-tests, and analysis of variance.Half of the sample was inactive. Eighty-one percent indicated that they would like to be more active and perceived lack of accessibility, partners, and knowledge of PA resources as the most constraining factors. Respondents in low-income categories cited significantly higher psychological and accessibility constraints. Inactive LTPA respondents perceived significantly higher constraints overall, with knowledge and accessibility having the largest effect sizes. No differences were found based on age and gender.This study highlighted that among Latinos, there may be an opportunity to increase activity levels by targeting knowledge about PA resources, increasing access to opportunities for PA, and enhancing the social environment for PA. Such efforts that target these constraints to increase PA may ultimately improve health.}, number={3}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF HEALTH PROMOTION}, author={Casper, Jonathan M. and Harrolle, Michelle Gacio}, year={2013}, pages={139–142} }

This study examined constraints to leisure-time physical activity among Latinos in North Carolina in relation to their level of acculturation. Data (N = 457) were obtained through a community survey. Four subgroups with similar constraints were identified using cluster analysis: Access and Partner Constrained, Safety and Access Constrained, Least Constrained, and Highly Constrained. Results showed that low acculturation was significantly associated with being highly constrained. Latinos born outside the U.S. were more likely to be classified as Access and Partner Constrained and Safety and Access Constrained. The findings contribute to understanding constraints in the context of acculturation and offer practitioners perspective on creating physical activity programs for Latinos.}, number={1}, journal={JOURNAL OF LEISURE RESEARCH}, author={Harrolle, Michelle Gacio and Floyd, Myron F. and Casper, Jonathan M. and Kelley, Katharine E. and Bruton, Candice M.}, year={2013}, pages={74–90} }
