Health and Leisure: Inextricably Linked.

Wankel, Leonard M.

Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, v64 n4 p28-31 Apr 1994

What individuals do during leisure time significantly affects illness, disease, and longevity. Leisure studies and services can offer much to the understanding of health and the provision of health services. The article notes that the tendency to separate leisure and health within the physical education and recreation curricula is dysfunctional. (SM)
