“…While some research suggests that adventure sport tourism is well-suited to visitors seeking various wellbeing outcomes (e.g., Lynch & Dibben, 2016;Mykletun & Mazza, 2016), few studies have investigated the psychological processes underlying adventure sport tourism outcomes. In particular, little research has examined how hedonic psychological well-being (characterised by fun and pleasure) and eudaimonic psychological well-being (characterised by a sense of meaning and purpose) outcomes are achieved through adventure participation (Fletcher & Prince, 2017; Houge Mackenzie & Brymer, 2020).…”

Sport tourism literature has paid limited attention to the psychological well-being benefits derived from participating in this form of tourism. This is especially the case for adventure sport tourism, which is characterised by travel to a destination to participate in an adventure sport event, such as competitive surfing or mountain biking. Through an analysis of the contemporary literature regarding adventure sport, tourism and psychological well-being, we propose a conceptual model of the psychological processes underlying well-being outcomes for adventure sport tourists. The conceptual model explains how adventure sport tourism participation affects hedonic and eudaimonic psychological well-being via the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) and nature connectedness. We argue that this conceptual model has the potential to advance knowledge in relation to the theory, practice and design of adventure sport tourism. We outline research propositions emanating from the conceptual model and directions for future research on adventure sport tourism and psychological well-being.

“…Este rol activa dominios cognitivos, psicomotores y afectivos en la persona que lo desarrolla. (Christian, Hodgson, Berry, y Kearney, 2020;Ewert, Zwart, y Davidson, 2020;Fletcher y Prince, 2017). Para todos los participantes la conexión con la naturaleza genera un bienestar psicológico (Mutz y Müller, 2016;Piccininni, Michaelson, Janssen, y Pickett, 2018).…”

Frenar el cambio climático y disminuir el impacto de la sociedad es uno de los grandes retos actuales. Ello implica educar a las nuevas generaciones en prácticas sostenibles en el medio natural, respeto y cuidado por el mismo. El docente de Educación Física tiene que trabajar entre sus contenidos la Actividad Física en el Medio Natural (AFMN), fomentando en el alumnado respetar y valorar el medio ambiente. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura de los artículos publicados sobre la AFMN y Educación Física desde los inicios a la actualidad para analizar el número de publicaciones y la temática principal de las mismas. Para realizar el análisis bibliográfico, se utilizó el Análisis Estadístico de Datos Textuales, apoyado en el uso del MANOVA Biplot, obteniendo un resultado final de 142 artículos. Como conclusiones, se constatan las primeras investigaciones en 2010, con un aumento significativo a partir de 2019. Se constata una evolución de las temáticas en 3 grupos de años diferentes: 1) recreación y el ocio, 2) educación y, 3) educación, salud y ocio responsable, siendo este último en el que se encuentran la mayoría de las investigaciones. Las AFMN pueden generar múltiples beneficios en los adolescentes en diferentes áreas como son la física y mental. También cabe destacar, que estas actividades generan en los practicantes un mayor respeto por el medio ambiente. Palabras clave: actividad en la naturaleza, deportes en la naturaleza, educación aventura, actividades al aire libre, emociones. Abstract. Curbing climate change and reducing its impact on society is one of the great challenges facing us today. It implies educating the new generations in sustainable practices in the natural environment, as well as respecting and caring for it. Physical Education teachers must include Physical Activity in the Natural Environment (AFMN) in their content, encouraging students to respect and value the environment. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic literature review of the articles published on AFMN and Physical Education from the beginning to the present day to analyze the number of publications and their main themes. For the bibliographic analysis, the Statistical Analysis of Textual Data was used, supported by the MANOVA Biplot, obtaining a final result of 142 articles. The conclusions drawn show that the first investigations were conducted in 2010, with a significant increase from 2019 onwards. An evolution of the themes was observed in 3 groups in different years: 1) recreation and leisure, 2) education and 3) education, health and responsible leisure, the latter being the one in which most research can be found. AFMN can generate multiple benefits for adolescents in different areas both physically and mentally. It should also be noted that these activities generate greater respect for the environment in participants. Key words: nature activity, nature sports, adventure education, outdoor activities, emotions

“…They experience feelings of freedom from relinquishing control, letting go of their fear, being personally responsible for their actions, and making their own choices (Brymer & Schweitzer, 2013). Confronting apparent danger during activity participation encourages positive self-reflection and social confidence, improves self-concept and selfesteem, and enhances well-being and overall happiness (Fletcher & Prince, 2017;Holm, Lugosi, Croes & Torres, 2017).…”

This study investigates families who choose to co-participate in outdoor adventure holidays, and explores how they benefit from these shared experiences. In so doing, it seeks to determine the role of adventure tourism in developing and enhancing family well-being (FWB). Hyper-modern family life for many is powered by technological hardware, each room in the house replete with on-line pleasures, distractions and identities. In response to this dystopia, some families opt to take adventure holidays together. However, scholarship concerning collective experiences of adventurous leisure, in this case as families, is limited. Using a qualitative whole family approach, 15 (adventure tourist) families were interviewed, totalling 62 interviewees (29 adults and 33 children under 18 years old), in their home environments. Four key themes related to FWB emerged. First, families extended their active lifestyles to adventure holidays and repeatedly mentioned the health and fitness benefits gained from these experiences. Second, adventure holidays facilitated unmediated time together for families. Third, parents harboured ideals of positive personal development for their children in these adventure settings. Fourth, making memories during adventure holidays, and recollecting these post-trip, were integral to family bonding. Further research should pay attention to non-traditional family groups in adventure tourism, and to various socioeconomic and cultural groups in this context.
