Abstract
Differences between men's and women's perceptions and experiences of time and leisure have implications for their approaches to sport and physical activities. The special circumstances of women's lives, in particular their responsibilities for domestic work and child care, contribute to a perspective that tends to be task-oriented rather than time-oriented, qualitative rather than quantitative, and altruistic rather than self-interested. Thus, women may be alienated by sporting activities that are rigidly circumscribed by the clock, the rulebook and the win-at-all-costs mentality.
