“…Leisure satisfaction refers to the positive perceptions of individuals engaged in leisure activities after comparing their perceived leisure experience with the actual environment (58). To put it simply, people judge according to the current leisure experience whether the acquired individual needs and satisfaction meet the expected goals, which is leisure satisfaction (43).…”

“…However, most of them discussed the physical and mental health pressure and epidemic prevention measures during the epidemic (5,(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)42). Although the impact of participating in tourism activities during the epidemic has also been discussed (33,36,43,44), methods to improve people's health benefits have also been proposed, such as Qigong (6), intermittent fitness exercises (7), mountain climbing (4), and jogging (8). More recently, related impacts of leisure, travel, living and working environment, physical and mental health have also been discussed (36)(37)(38), as well as environmental risks, satisfaction, and physical and mental health issues (40,41,45).…”

The study examined the effects of swimming pools on healthcare professionals' willingness to engage in recreational activities, physical anxiety, and physical and mental well-being in the context of COVID-19. The research adopted the mixed research method, used SPSS 26.0 statistical software to test the reliability of the questionnaire, and then collected 840 valid questionnaires; first analyzed the data with basic statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and PPMCC test methods, and then used the interview method to collect expert opinions. A multi-check approach assembled all data and discussions. The study found that the use of personnel dynamic tracking systems or measures, combined with sodium hypochlorite and repeated filtration to stabilize water quality, could maintain the confidence of most medical workers in the swimming pool sports environment for epidemic prevention and avoid violations. The government could formulate safety prevention and control mechanisms in traffic and establish appropriate traffic routes. Next, formulated a prescription for swimming or other physical activity mechanisms for men aged 31–50 and redesigned measures for medical staff over 51 years old to have tense head issues and physical fatigue, promote blood circulation and improve sleep quality. This will promote the purpose of relieving stress and regulating the physical and mental health of medical staff after engaging in swimming.

“…Therefore, it is necessary to advance in the investigation on the contamination of the waste waters coming from hot springs. The results of these investigations will surely contribute to the authorities increasing control over the use of hot springs and the discharge of their untreated waters [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Hot springs have traditionally been a tourist attraction in many parts of the world during the high season of tourism. Wastewater is usually discharged into streams without any treatment. This affect the quality of the receiving water, causing negative impacts to the aquatic ecosystems. There has been little research on the downstream ecological impacts of water discharges from various major recreational spa sites in different parts of the world, however, some studies suggest that sewage discharges from hot springs have adverse ecological effects on aquatic life. On the other hand, the mineral composition of hot springs derived mainly from groundwater is greater than that of stream water. There are models that simulate the effects of hot spring discharges into surface water sources. For example, some studies have found that wastewater discharges from hot springs have a significant adverse impact on water quality during periods of minimal flow. However, an important factor that must be taken into account is that it is estimated that the wastewater from the thermal waters contributes up to 50% of the effluents discharged into the receiving water, which may be the main reason for the significant negative impact of the hot springs over aquatic systems. Despite the negative consequences of the impacts on ecosystems derived from wastewater from hot springs, it is interesting to note that there are no regulations for the discharge of wastewater from hot springs. This may be due to the fact that the amount of effluent that is discharged into the receiving water is generally limited or because the importance of the mineral composition of the hot springs is small compared to that present in the wastewater discharges derived from anthropogenic activities. Therefore, it is necessary to advance in the investigation on the contamination of the waste waters coming from hot springs. The results of these investigations will surely contribute to the authorities increasing control over the use of hot springs and the discharge of their untreated waters [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].
