Abstract
The participation in various forms of recreation and physical activities has a positive impact on individual's health and health status. Research purpose was to look for perceived barriers to participation in leisure sport. Quantitative method was used in order to carry out study. Study's subjects were college-level students and teachers. Researcher found it extremely challenging to get in touch with every student and teacher in every college (eight colleges). To get around this challenge, researcher chose two colleges to collect the data. The sample of study was 200 students. Simple random sampling was used for purpose of sampling. These findings offer pertinent data for Dera Ismail Khan Intervention programs aimed at promoting community health as well as planning and executing sports and recreation services. It was determined that obstacles in leisure sports are time constraints, lack of equipment, a lack of ground, and lack of courts. Researcher concluded that fewer chances of popularity, lack of peers, lack of confidence, injuries fear, academic fatigue, and due to sectarian problems are the barriers that youth face during sports participation. Parents and college authorities should provide appropriate environment for leisure sports.
