Leisure Time - GCSE Physical Education (PE) Revision

Leisure time is your time. Today people have more leisure time than they had 50 years ago meaning that they have more time to focus on their personal well being and fitness.

Wants and Needs
Sadly despite the fact that people have more free time than they used to but most of our time is taken up doing things that we need to do rather than what we want to do. We are made busy with work or school and eating or sleeping meaning it is important to enjoy our leisure time in order to make the rest of our time manageable! Leisure time is all about what you want to do whether it be travel, sporting or cultural.

Time Pressures
As we mentioned people have more and more leisure time to themselves nowadays. This is due to the average working week being shorter and technology helping us do household chores that would previously have eaten up a large chunk of our time. With the increase in peoples free time comes an increase in the demand for facilities in which to spend it; this places a strain on both the public and private sectors.
