“…Siegenthaler [ 43 ] found leisure to be the critical buffer in negative living events, which could help reduce negative influences on an individual. Fenech [ 44 ] also indicated that freely choosing leisure activity for the sense of achievement could help an individual regulate the stress in life, generate self-identification, and find out self-value. By integrating the viewpoints of Coleman [ 42 ], it is found that engaging in recreational leisure activity with relatives and friends could help an individual reduce the impact of negative events in life, enhance spiritual, emotional, and psychological health, and generate psychological health.…”

This study intends to discuss the effects of participants’ involvement, perceived value, and leisure benefits on recommendation intention in the sport of karate. The questionnaires were collected online by karate clubs on Facebook and included 369 valid participants. The research findings show that karate participants from different places of residence do not display significant differences in involvement, perceived value, leisure benefits, and recommendation intention. Furthermore, “attraction” in the involvement category reveals the highest mean, “paid spirit and energy being worthy” in perceived value appears as the highest mean, and “physiological benefits” in leisure benefits shows the highest mean. The Pearson correlation analysis result presents significant strong positive correlations between involvement, perceived value, leisure benefits, and recommendation intention. Finally, multiple regression analysis reveals that leisure benefits, except “physiological benefits”, show notably positive effects on recommendation intention. According to the research results, suggestions are proposed for the reference of karate teaching business managers, participants, and future research.

“…Substantial evidence shows that freedom from illness or disability is the most important factor determining leisure behavior among older people (Satariano, Haight, & Tager, 2000;Searle & Iso-Ahola, 1988). Other barriers include past experiences, lifestyle, a lower level of education, long-standing social constraints, low income, life events, and lack of support from others, such as after the loss of a spouse (Fenech, 2008;Lefrancois, Leclerc, & Poulin, 1998). Older people should also be free from the perception of constraint that is related to loss of interest, lack of facilities or support, reduced ability, or lack of time (Backman, 2004).…”

“…Substantial evidence shows that leisure can satisfy specific and important needs including the psychological, educational, social, relaxational, physiological and esthetic needs of older people (Broughton & Beggs, 2006;Di Bona, 2000). Able to continue an activity after retirement, the older person can gain life satisfaction by freely choosing their leisure activities, which can contribute to a sense of personal identity and control, as well as enabling them to cope better with negative life events (Fenech, 2008;Hawkins, Foose, & Binkley, 2004) and increasing their social well-being (Fenech, 2008;Misener et al, 2010).…”

There is considerable healthcare literature exploring leisure participation by older people, yet the conceptualization of the term 'leisure' remains unclear. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the concept of leisure based on Walker and Avant's concept analysis criteria, identifying the attributes, antecedents, consequences and empirical references of leisure based upon the findings of the literature review. A clear understanding of the concept of leisure for older people will provide nurses and other healthcare professionals with the necessary knowledge to develop an efficient health promotion plan for leisure activities targeting the aging population.

“…Casual leisure is enjoyed in the moment, being immediately and intrinsically rewarding and requiring little or no skill to enjoy (13). However, individuals with neuropalliative conditions experience many barriers to leisure engagement (14). ‘Aquability’ is a casual (aquatic) leisure opportunity (see section) that makes use of a vacant hydrotherapy pool.…”

This article describes a single-case design study and uses an occupational science focus to explore the effects of 'Aquability' as perceived by participants with neuropalliative conditions. Data collection tools include the Individual Child Engagement Record and the adapted Leisure Satisfaction Scale--short form by 14 participants (who had Barthel scores averaging 7/100). The time-sampled observations of engagement showed a significant difference between the scores for the control condition and the 'Aquability' sessions. The participants reported being in control, learning about themselves or others and feeling healthier after a session. They reported experiencing a sense of achievement and novelty, which was interesting and enjoyable. 'Aquability' appears to be a satisfying use of free time for participants with neuropalliative conditions.
