While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or sleep, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. As people in the world's wealthier regions lead increasingly sedentary life styles, the need for recreation has increased. The rise of so called active vacations exemplifies this.

However, research has shown that recreation contributes to satisfaction, and that the stress management aspects of it contribute to quality of life, health and wellness, happines, and that the use of recreation as a diversion may have clinical applications to individuals with chronic pain and other health impairments.

For example, in Judaism, Shabbat is a day for recreation, study, and relaxation; many Christian churches also have Sabbath.

GNU Free Documentation License Is there a difference between the college major of Physical Therapy and Therapeutic Recreation? Q. I want to become a Physical Therapist when i grow up, and the college I am interested in attending has the major of Therapeutic Recreation. Is there a difference?

So, when you go to college you could major in therapeutic recreation and get your bachelor's degree. After that, you could apply to a master's program in physical therapy to become a physical therapist. Remember to keep your grades up because most physical therapy programs are highly competitive.
