Daniel Njenga

Daniel Njenga is a Lecturer in the Department of Recreation and Sports Management at Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya. He has held this position since August 2021, following 15 years as a Tutorial Fellow/Assistant Lecturer in the same department (2006-2021). His educational background includes a PhD in Sports and Recreation from Kenyatta University, a European Diploma in Adapted Physical Activity from Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences (Finland), and both MSc and BSc degrees (First Class Honors) in Leisure and Recreation Management from Kenyatta University.

Njenga's research focuses on inclusive physical activity frameworks, particularly for children and youth with disabilities. Key domains include wheelchair-adapted sports interventions, quality-of-life metrics for disabled athletes, safeguarding protocols in sports organizations, and cross-cultural adapted physical activity methodologies. His work emphasizes practical implementation strategies within resource-constrained environments.

Publication analysis reveals three consistent themes: 1) Adaptive sports programming for vulnerable populations, 2) Coaching efficacy in disability sports contexts, and 3) Technological impacts on recreational education. His scholarship combines local Kenyan case studies with international comparative frameworks, particularly evident in his contributions to global physical education policy documents and cross-cultural leisure studies.
