From serious leisure to devotee work
This study aims to explore the serious leisure to devotee work (SL-DW) transformation trajectory in the case of yoga. An in-depth semistructured interview was conducted with 15 serious yoga practitioners to examine career change and the relationships between leisure and work. The findings of the research outline the passage from stepping into casual yoga leisure, moving from casual to serious yoga leisure, aspiring to succeed on the professional …
Sport and nature
There is a plethora of distinct terms with a range of theoretical assumptions describing these practices, among them ‘adventure sports’, ‘outdoor recreation’, ‘high-risk sport’, ‘extreme sport’, and ‘lifestyle sport’. Some scholars have tried to clarify this terminological and conceptual problem, but no consensus has been reached. The present article unpacks these terms. Then it proposes the concept of nature challenge as a valid conceptualizatio…
When leisure engenders health
In common sense much of leisure is seen in simple terms: it is fun. Such an image even prevails in research specialties and teaching programmes in colleges and universities operating outside the units of these institutions that are devoted to the study of leisure. This indictment includes the health sciences and their instructional programmes. The serious leisure perspective is used to identify six salubrious effects and the activities that produ…
Adolescents’ choice and pursuit of their most important and interesting leisure activities
This study investigated the choice and pursuit of adolescents’ most important and interesting leisure activity. It is underpinned by the concept of serious leisure, recent perceptions of seriousness as a continuum and calls for incorporating contextual elements of serious activity pursuit. A questionnaire survey was administered to 832 students from 10 secondary schools in Hong Kong. Students were asked to nominate leisure activity that they rega…
Serious leisure among older gardeners in Australia
Activities such as gardening are fast becoming acknowledged as a much desired health management strategy in later life. However, few studies have examined gardening as a serious leisure pursuit. The aim of this study was to apply the concept of serious leisure to the context of leisure gardening by older adults in Australia. Casual, participant and devotee gardeners were compared with respect to the relative importance of the characteristics of s…
Old bodies, young hearts
The world’s population is ageing. Engagement in physical activities that assist people to age in good health while enjoying quality of life are critical considerations for practitioners and policy-makers. In 1913, the sport of Rugby Union was introduced to Taiwan. As a form of recreational activity, the game became popular among- Taiwanese males. In recent years, older players have sought to facilitate their continued involvement in an activity t…

The Serious Leisure Perspective
The "Serious Leisure Perspective" (SLP) is a theoretical framework that can help us understand the complexities of modern leisure as both an activity and an experience. Bringing together the study of serious leisure, casual leisure and project-based leisure, it is an essential component of the Leisure Studies curriculum and an invaluable tool for exploring the significance of leisure in contemporary society. This book is the first of offer a comp…

Unpaid work of love
The definition of volunteering as unpaid work has been around far longer than that of volunteering as leisure. The former, which is the more widely used of the two, seems at first blush to be incompatible on several accounts with the latter. And in fact there are some incompatibilities, which however, can be reconciled in an overarching definition incorporating both. This article shows that, among its other defining features, volunteering is both…
The Internet as a scientific tool for studying leisure activities
There are times when researchers want to examine sizeable set of leisure activities, often those pursued by a particular demographic category or those grouped according a particular theoretic classification. Yet, conventional qualitative methods are poorly suited to gathering the broad range of data they require for this purpose. These methods are too labour‐intensive, while quantitative surveys, if they are to be effective, are limited to known …
Development of the Serious Leisure Inventory and Measure
In this investigation, the serious leisure inventory and measure (SLIM) was developed from convenience and target samples. The multidimensional framework of serious leisure contains six qualities from which 18 operations were employed. With the use of a q-sort, an expert panel, and confirmatory factor analysis, the 72 item SLIM demonstrated acceptable fit, reliability and equivalence across samples. Mean differences and correlation patterns found…
