Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the reasons why post-graduate students don't participate in
structured sport and their leisure activities. Data was collected through questionnaires from 53
randomly selected post-graduate students of Kenyatta University. Data was manually analysed for
frequencies and percentages. Findings indicated that the post-graduate students don't participate in
sport due to lack of time, sport programs not catering for their needs and too much academic work and
engage in passive leisure activities of watching T.V, spending time with the family and reading. It was
recommended that sport programmes in the university need to be made post-graduate students friendly
and they need to be educated on the benefits of active lifestyles and management.
