Motto
„HEALTH IS CREATED AND LIVED BY PEOPLE WITHIN THE SETTINGS OF THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE; WHERE THEY LEARN, WORK, PLAY AND LOVE.” (OTTAWA-CHARTER 1986.)
Building on the current scientific trends and results the aim of our conference is to show the versatility of connections among leisure and health.
Health is a complex phenomenon; the holistic health concept includes individual and social dimensions. The individual dimension contains physical health, mental health: the thinking and decision-making ability, emotional health: the individual is aware of his/her emotions and expresses them, social health: being integrated into the communities; the influence of moral and religious principles and sexual health: the individual expresses his/her sexuality properly. The social dimension includes the connection between the individual and the social structure, social integration, the role in the social division of labour, the social environment: living-conditions, traffic, public health system, and the natural environment: healthy drinking-water, environmental pollution. Analogous to the holistic health concept, leisure can also be considered as holistic: It affects our physical, mental and emotional well-being (health), promotes social integration, socialises, educates, exercises an effect on balancing sexual energies, it can be the means of expressing our identity, and its performance is connected to our natural and built environment.
