Recreation
Another area allied with physical education and sport is recreation. Recreation is generally thought of as self-chosen activities that provide a means of revitalizing one’s body and spirit. Recreation is important for individuals of all ages. Through recreation, individuals can learn to use their leisure time constructively in ways that are personally fulfilling. Recreation is experiencing a period of rapid growth and expansion similar to that of physical education. The number and types of available activities have increased, the settings in which programs are offered have become more diverse, and the number and range of populations served have expanded. Increased leisure time and larger discretionary incomes have contributed to this growth. Concern for the environment has also led to calls for resource management by the national and local authorities to preserve the environment while providing for the careful expansion of outdoor recreational facilities. Recreational opportunities abound. Schools, communities, and businesses offer a diversity of activities to meet the fitness and leisure needs of individuals. Increasingly common are worksite fitness programs, industrial sport leagues, community and commercial recreation and fitness programs, competitive leagues for males and females of all ages in a number of sports, instructional clinics, and open facilities for drop-in recreation. Many individuals and families pursue recreational activities independently as well. Recreation, like physical education and sport, can contribute to the quality of an individual’s life. It provides opportunities for individuals to engage in freely chosen activities during their leisure time.
