Abstract

Leisure and health. Health and leisure. At the most fundamental level it seems obvious that leisure and health are interlinked and interrelated. The perspective that leisure and health are connected can be seen in the way leisure can be viewed as essentially a positive feeling/activity/period of time where we are able to undertake activities we enjoy doing, at a pace we enjoy, in a place we feel comfortable, with those we choose to be with. Good health is commonly associated with physical, social and psychological wellbeing.
