“…Leisure benefits are the reason for continuing to participate in leisure. It refers to the benefits of physical improvement or meeting the personal needs of individuals in the process of participating in leisure activities ( 9 , 19 ). Individuals can also temporarily escape the heavy burden, work, and interpersonal constraints by leisure activities, and then get ideal personal compensation or new relationships from leisure participation.…”

“…Previous studies showed that participation in leisure activities could bring multiple benefits to individuals. These findings are on the topics of physical, psychological, social, and self-development benefits, such as leisure for personal and mental development ( 6 , 7 ), health promotion ( 8 , 9 ), family relationships ( 10 , 11 ), interpersonal interaction ( 12 , 13 ), and economic benefits ( 12 , 14 ). Some studies have suggested that the level of participation in leisure activities is a measure of the physical and mental health of an individual ( 3 ).…”

Purpose: To explore the types of leisure activities, the degree of activity involvement, and the relationship between leisure benefits in older adults in cities and towns in Northern Guangdong, China; to provide valuable references for formulating related policies on the leisure industry for relevant governing bodies and for gaining the optimal benefits for industry business people and leisure enthusiasts.Methods: After searching for a large amount of literature and expert consultations, a questionnaire on the leisure involvement and leisure benefits scale was constructed. The participants aged 60 years or older were recruited as the survey population. By using SPSS statistics 21.0, the raw and processed data in this study were analyzed and interpreted.Results: (1) The approach that the leisure involvement levels were divided into subjective and objective involvement levels to predict leisure benefits was more comprehensive and reliable than uni-level prediction. Among them, the overall leisure involvement level had a significant positive effect on the leisure benefits of leisure participants; the performance of the subjective involvement level to enhance the leisure benefits comprehensively surpassed the objective involvement level. (2) The effect of leisure involvement levels on leisure benefits was affected by the type of leisure, which was manifested as physiological and psychological leisure pleasure; the degree of leisure involvement had an inverted U-shaped relationship with its emotional leisure benefits. For individuals with physiological hedonistic leisure, the degree of leisure involvement had an inverted U-shaped relationship with its emotional, social, and self-realized leisure interests. (3) For individuals with psychological leisure, the degree of leisure involvement was positively U-shaped with its social and self-affirmed leisure benefits. However, this finding needs to be confirmed by further research.Conclusion: There are two types of linear and curvilinear relationships between the degree of leisure involvement and leisure benefits, which makes the connection between leisure involvement and leisure benefits deviate from the linearity in a particular situation and present an inverted U-shaped or positive U-shaped relationship, which shows, when the individuals are under- or over-volume leisure activities involvement, they will not create excellent leisure benefits.

“…Some studies focused on a specific phenomenon they linked to well-being, including the following: occupations and meaningful activities (Ekelman et al, 2017 ; Folan et al, 2015 ; Luchauer & Shurtleff, 2015 ; Verdonck et al, 2018 ; Ward et al, 2007 ), physical activity (Ekelman et al, 2017 ; Taylor & McGruder, 1996 ), adaptive sports (Lape et al, 2018 ), leisure activities (Houlihan et al, 2003 ; Labbé et al, 2019 ; Taylor & McGruder, 1996 ), peer mentoring (Beauchamp et al, 2016 ; Chemtob et al, 2018 ), goal-setting ability and self-efficacy (Block et al, 2010 ; Folan et al, 2015 ; Wangdell et al, 2013 ), employment (Cotner et al, 2018 ; Ramakrishnan et al, 2016 ), computer/IT access (Folan et al, 2015 ; Mattar et al, 2015 ), coping (Brillhart & Johnson, 1997 ; Hutchinson et al, 2003 ; Zinman et al, 2014 ), choice and control (Labbé et al, 2019 ), autonomy (Nygren-Bonnier et al, 2018 ), social support (O’Dell et al, 2019 ; Veith et al, 2006 ), social participation (Tamplin et al, 2014 ), music (Tamplin et al, 2014 ), and use of environmental control systems (Verdonck et al, 2014 , 2011 ).…”

Objective Well-being after spinal cord injury is affected by a range of factors, many of which are within the influence of rehabilitation services. Although improving well-being is a key aim of rehabilitation, the literature does not provide a clear path to service providers who seek to improve well-being. This study aimed to inform service design by identifying the experience and perspective of people with SCI about interventions targeting their well-being. Method The scoping review of qualitative literature used thematic analysis to identify and categorize themes related to service activities, valued aspects, limitations and perceived outcomes. Results Thirty-eight studies were selected, related to a range of service types. Most studies did not adopt a well-being conceptual framework to design and evaluate the services. People with SCI particularly valued being treated with dignity, positive expectations, increased autonomy and peer support. Improvements to well-being were reported, including many years post-SCI. However, people with SCI reported limited opportunities to engage in such services. Conclusions Rehabilitation services can improve well-being across the lifetime of people with SCI, but gaps in service provision are reported. The review identified valued aspects of services that may inform service design, including staff approach and positive expectations, having own skills and worth valued, peer support and interaction, autonomy in valued occupations, and long-term opportunities for gains.

Limited information exists on dietary practices in para-athletes. The aim of this study was to clarify the actual situation of para-athletes’ dietary practice and to sort out the factors (i.e., eating perception, nutrition knowledge, and body image), that may hinder their dietary practices, and explored the practical challenges in nutritional support and improving nutrition knowledge for para-athletes. Thirty-two Japanese para-athletes (22 men) and 45 collegiate student athletes without disabilities (27 men) participated in the online survey. The questionnaire included demographic characteristics, eating perception, dietary practices, and nutrition knowledge. The Japanese version of the body appreciation scale was used to determine their body image. Para-athletes who answered that they knew their ideal amount and way of eating showed significantly higher body image scores (r = 0.604, p < 0.001). However, mean score for nutrition knowledge of para-athletes were significantly lower than collegiate student athletes (19.4 ± 6.8 vs. 24.2 ± 6.1 points, p = 0.001). Both groups did not identify a dietitian as the source of nutrition information or receiving their nutrition advice. The results indicate para-athletes have unique eating perceptions and inadequate nutrition knowledge. Future interventions are needed to examine nutritional supports and education in relation to the role of dietitians.
