The aim of this study was to explore detailed mechanisms by which the type of leisure activity and the psychosocial functions of ‘leisure coping’ jointly contribute to describing ways in which people manage stress and maintain good health through leisure activity. Path analysis of data from police and emergency response service workers suggests that frequency of participation in leisure activities, enjoyment of the experience and psychosocial functions of leisure conducive to coping with stress, both directly and indirectly influence immediate adaptive outcomes, such as coping effectiveness and stress reduction, and distal adaptive outcomes, that is mental and physical health. Some of these leisure variables also seem to act as mediators of the relationship between other leisure variables and adaptive outcomes
