The use of leisure time to satisfy such desires as recreation (restoration or enhancement of mental and physical health), amusement (entertainment, escape), play (relaxation, exercise), adventure (excitement, challenge), or education (organized, incidental). To satisfy these desires, an ever-increasing variety of experiences is sought by those who have the time to participate in them and the means to pay for them.

Recreation is the employment of time in a non-profitable way, in many ways also a therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind. Recreation is often distinguished from leisure. Where leisure is, or ought to be, restful, recreation is refreshing and diverting. As people in the world's wealthier regions lead more and more sedentary life styles, the need for recreation has grown. The rise of so called active vacations exemplify this. It could be any physical or psychological revitalization through the voluntary pursuit of leisure time.

Sport is a activity of usually physical and competitive nature whose purpose could be to attain fitness, physical perfection, or in modern times monetary gains.
