The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Facilitators to Leisure (2002, background): “For example, research consistently demonstrates that negative body image is a powerful constraint to swimming among adolescent females (James, 2000), yet a young woman who has high body image (the opposite of the constraint) may still not choose to go swimming.”
Body Image and Beliefs About Appearance: Constraints on the Leisure of College-Age and Middle-Age Women (2006, methodology): “Similarly, James (2000) found that for adolescent girls in a pool setting, body image constrained participation as well as enjoyment.”
An Integrative Review of Women, Gender, and Leisure: Increasing Complexities (2013, background): “This integrative analysis resulted in topics that were divided into two broad categories: dialogue (e.g., Aitchison, 1997; Deem, 1992; Kay, 2000) and context (e.g., Dupuis & Smale, 2000; James, 2000; Russell & Stage, 1996).”
Self-Determination Theory as a Framework for Understanding Women's Psychological Well-Being Outcomes from Leisure-Time Physical Activity (2010, background): “…may dramatically influence access to leisure opportunities and choices (Henderson, 1990); social support (Eyler et al., 1999); opportunities, facilities, and transport (Deem, 1986); and safe locations in which to participate (Henderson, Bialeschki, Shaw, & Freysinger, 1989; James, 2000).”
