Question 1 Report

Describe three reasons why some people choose to spend their leisure time on inactive activities rather than physical recreation. [3]

Answer Details

Reasons for choosing inactive leisure over physical recreation

  1. Technology and entertainment: Activities such as gaming, streaming services, and social media provide easily accessible entertainment at home, requiring no travel, equipment, or physical effort. Many people find these convenient and enjoyable alternatives to sport. [1]
  2. Fatigue: The demands of work or school can leave people feeling too tired to take part in physical activity during their remaining free time. After a long day they may prefer to rest at home. [1]
  3. Lack of confidence or skill: Some people feel self-conscious about their ability in sport or have had negative experiences that discourage them from trying physical activities. Without confidence, inactive leisure feels safer and less daunting. [1]

Other valid reasons include the cost of equipment, memberships, or facility access, and a lack of suitable local facilities. Any three valid reasons score full marks.
