“…Scientific literature has shown multiple benefits of leisure for the integral development of youths emotional, cognitive, physical, and social aspects (Quintana, 1991; Caride, 1998; Cuenca, 2009; Stebbins, 2012; Freire and Teixeira, 2018; Rodríguez et al, 2018). More specifically, it has also confirmed that organized leisure leads to greater benefits than unorganized leisure (Monteagudo et al, 2017).…”

Youth values leisure as a right, a source of growth and integral development, and a context for experimentation. It has been shown that organized leisure leads to more benefits than unorganized leisure; when undertaken (Throughout the document, an attempt will be made to use inclusive language, although “under Law 3/2007 of 22 March, for the effective equality of women and men, any reference to positions, persons or groups included in this document in masculine, are to be understood as including both women and men.”) by the young people themselves, these benefits lead to the development of prosocial skills, self-efficacy, autonomy, and increased independence, personal motivation, and responsibility, as well as acting as a protective factor against risky behaviors. When organized leisure activities are also shared with the family, the benefits influence a positive family environment. This study focused on analyzing the relationship between family-shared leisure practices that are managed by Spanish youth in post-compulsory secondary education and the importance and satisfaction granted to these experiences. The sample consisted of 1,764 post-compulsory secondary education students from all over Spain. Youths responsibility for the organization of their leisure activities, the perception of the relationship between enjoyment of the activity and involvement in its management, the organization of the spaces in which leisure activities are carried out, their satisfaction with them, and the importance attached to shared practice and family experiences were recorded. The results showed a shortage of self-managed youth leisure practices, but increased responsibility, spatial organization, and satisfaction were confirmed when leisure experiences are shared with the family. The need to encourage opportunities for children to self-organize their leisure practices from an early age is commented on.

“…Los resultados de este estudio ponen de manifiesto la existencia de distintos perfiles de ocio deportivo en función del género. La importancia de la variable género como elemento clave para entender los perfiles de ocio no es nueva (Henderson, 2009;Monteagudo, et al, 2017), si bien es necesario profundizar en las razones que influyen en la toma de decisiones al respecto atendiendo a los intereses y motivaciones de cada colectivo y a las barreras y dificultades en el acceso al ocio, especialmente del sector femenino. En el primer caso, se trata de una característica del ocio fruto de la diversidad y de la expresión de las diferencias de cada género, en las que influyen ineludiblemente patrones de tipo sociocultural que hacen que chicos y chicas se decanten por actividades diferenciadas en la ocupación de sus tiempos libres desde la primera infancia.…”

“…La tarea anunciada décadas atrás por Dumazedier (1964) de hacer del ocio un tiempo educativo continúa despertando el interés de los Estudios de Ocio que, desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, han profundizado en temáticas específicas como la planificación y organización de los espacios (Ortega, Lazcano & Rocha, 2015), los itinerarios de los hobbies y aficiones (Monteagudo & Cuenca, 2012), los beneficios individuales y colectivos (Monteagudo, Ahedo & Ponce de León, 2017), etc., evidenciando la relevancia del ocio como factor de desarrollo humano.…”

“…En este sentido, la generación de hábitos de práctica de actividad física resulta transcendente para generar estilos de vida activos (y por lo tanto saludables), que pueden permanecer en la vida adulta (Telama, et al, 2014). Sus beneficios han sido puestos de manifiesto por diversas fuentes, destacando no solo los referidos a la salud (Hikihara, Watanabe, Kawakatsu & Ishii, 2018;Román, 2016) o al rendimiento académico (Parker, Astell-Burt & Lonsdale, 2017), sino también al ámbito social (Monteagudo, et al, 2017).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las características de la práctica físico-deportiva durante el ocio de la juventud que cursa Educación Secundaria Postobligatoria no universitaria (ESPO) en España (de edades entre 15 y 20 años). Concretamente, se estudia la práctica de ocio deportivo en función del género y se analizan las características de la misma (frecuencia, organización, compañía, etc.). Para ello se realizó un diseño de investigación cuantitativo en el que se aplicó un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc a una muestra representativa de 2694 estudiantes españoles de ESPO, que señalaron el ocio deportivo como su opción preferida de ocio (n= 901). En general, la modalidad de ocio preferida por la juventud española es la deportiva. Las chicas se decantan por actividades físicas individuales y artístico-expresivas, mientras que los chicos por la práctica de deportes colectivos; siendo menor el interés de las chicas por participar en competiciones deportivas. Además, la frecuencia de práctica es inferior en las mujeres durante la semana, pero no durante los fines de semana. Ellas renuncian en mayor medida que ellos a practicar actividades de ocio que les gustan. Respecto a la dimensión social de la práctica, ambos colectivos realizan deporte mayoritariamente con gente de su edad, pero ellas puntúan más bajo en esta opción de respuesta. El género es un factor determinante en la práctica de ocio deportivo juvenil, constatándose desigualdades en la frecuencia y preferencias de práctica y en la renuncia a actividades físico-deportivas que son de su agrado.Abstract. We study the profiles of sports participation of youths enrolled in Post-Compulsory Secondary Education (PCSE) in Spain (15-20 years). Specifically, it is analyzed if there are any differences according to gender in sports leisure practice and what are the sport participation features of each group. In order to do so, a quantitative research design was carried out and an ad hoc questionnaire was applied to a significative sample of 2694 ESPO Spanish students. Nine hundred and one of them were specifically studied because they selected sports practice as their main leisure preference. Overall, it is observed that the kind of leisure activity chosen by the Spanish youth is sport activity. We found that girls prefer individual and artistic-expressive physical activities, while boys opt for practicing team sports. We found a lower interest of girls in participating in sports competitions. Also, the frequency of practice is lower in women than men during the working days, but not during the weekend. Girls give up practicing leisure activities that they like much more than boys do. Regarding the social dimension of the practice, both groups practice mostly with people of their age, but girls score lower in this response option. Gender affects sports leisure of Spanish youth, differences being found in the frequency and preferences of practice, and in waivering leisure activities that they like.

“…Apart from their different experience of leisure, however, even at this early stage there is also evidence of significant inequalities of access, which persist into adulthood. Studies on the impact of leisure on satisfaction and well-being show differences in relation to sex (Brajša-Žganec et al, 2011;Monteagudo et al, 2017;Shin & You, 2013), including bias on the part of parents regarding the amount of freedom granted to sons and daughters, with stricter parental control over the hours female children keep and the friends they choose (Megias & Ballesteros, 2006). The gender gap thus impacts on female adolescents' leisure time and the opportunities they have to enjoy it freely (Henderson, 2002;Samdalh, 2013), which in turn affects their expectations, as low self-esteem leads to a greater perception of difficulty and 'self-imposition' of constraints on leisure (Raymore et al, 1994(Raymore et al, , 1993.…”

This article examines the impact of gender and family educational background on the leisure satisfaction of Spanish secondary school-age students (12-16 years). The research design consisted of a quantitative study in the form of a questionnaire (the reduced version of Beard and Ragheb's (1980) Leisure Satisfaction Scale), which was completed by a sample of 1887 secondary school students in Galicia (Spain). The results indicate a moderate level of satisfaction with leisure activities among the teenagers surveyed, with significant variations observed in relation to gender and parental educational level. Girls from families with a low level of educational attainment were found to be more likely to pass up leisure opportunities than boys, revealing a double gap (educational and genderbased) with regard to leisure satisfaction and a greater risk of precarious leisure. Future research in this area should focus on the development of Leisure Education programmes for children and adolescents.
