The authors categorize various forms of sport recreation and establish foundational theories for program implementation and operation. The book is structured as follows: 1. Basic Principles of Leisure and Recreation: Defines key concepts including leisure, recreation, physical activity, sports recreation, and sports tourism. 2. Sports and Recreation and Mental Well-Being: Explores the relationship between physical activity and mental health, focusing on how exercise influences anxiety, depression, and mood. 3. Therapeutic Recreation: Discusses the effective execution of therapeutic recreation programs for all age groups through exercise. 4. Sports and Recreation in the Third Age: Examines aging characteristics and the impact of sports and recreation programs on the energy and performance of older adults. 5. Sports Tourism and Outdoor Activities: Introduces sports tourism and its application within sports recreation. 6. Workplace Sport Programs: Details the implementation of health and exercise programs in workplace settings. 7. Understanding the Consumer of Sport & Recreation Services: Analyzes consumer behavior in sports and recreation, providing insights to design and deliver satisfactory services. 8.
