Although rapid economic growth can produce various positive outcomes, the fast-paced society that inevitably accompanies it often results in longer working hours and higher stress levels, leading to reduced participation in sport activities among employees. To better understand this phenomenon, we aimed to explore the constraints and experiences of adult workers. We collected data from adult workers in Singapore who desired to participate in sport activities but were unable to do so due to various constraints. A total of 10 individuals were purposefully selected for interviews. This study identified four key themes: (a) factors causing the reduction of sport participation opportunities, (b) changes in sport activities and satisfaction, (c) nostalgic feelings associated with sport activities, and (d) the role of nostalgia in enhancing sport involvement. The findings of this study suggest the possibility of adapting the conceptual model of nostalgia to sport activities, as well as identifying four factors that hinder employees from engaging in sport activities.
尽管快速的经济增长能够产生各种积极成果，但与之不可避免相伴的快节奏社会往往导致工作时间延长和压力水平升高，从而致使员工参与体育活动的机会减少。为了更好地理解这一现象，我们旨在探究成年劳动者面临的限制因素和经历。我们收集了来自新加坡成年劳动者的数据，这些人渴望参与体育活动，但由于各种限制而无法做到。总共特意挑选了10个人进行访谈。本研究确定了四个关键主题：(a) 导致体育参与机会减少的因素；(b) 体育活动和满意度的变化；(c) 与体育活动相关的怀旧情感；以及(d) 怀旧在增强体育参与度方面的作用。本研究的结果表明，有可能将怀旧的概念模型应用于体育活动，同时确定了阻碍员工参与体育活动的四个因素。
