Hobby, Recreational Sport and Games

Hobby is usually defined as an interesting occupation for leisure time, not one’s regular business. There are many personal interests and ways of spending one’s spare time. The most popular hobbies are collecting something. One may be fond of collecting view-cards, other – of collecting computer games, coins, pictures, records, toys or postal stamps. Many leisure pursuits are not necessary part of physical culture. People can be keen on drawing. They can sit hours at a stretch filling their albums with fancy birds, flowers, animals or landscapes. When drawing they always feel at peace with the world. At the same time drawing satisfies the needs of self-expression and the hunger of beauty. People who are interested in photography take their cameras with them wherever they go. Just as the world of sport and games, the world of leisure is limited by the human imagination, which continues to create variations on the themes inventing new ones. People spend their free time in different ways just as they please when being free from the demands of work or duty. Recreational sport occupies much of attention and time of its adherents. Involvement in fitness and recreational activities reflects the concern of many people with health and longevity. The modern stress on appearances, what is called “good looks”, is sufficient motivation for many to be in shape. For this reason fitness training forms is a noticeable part of today’s life. Sport can not always be professional. The worldwide “health and fitness” boom has in part been driven by the importance of acquiring the “right” body shape. Some of the most popular sports related to physical culture are swimming, tennis, aerobics, shaping, bowling, skateboarding, hiking, hunting, fishing, bicycling, bungee jumping, etc. Individual recreational participants may attend fitness clubs and enjoy every possible form of exercise and fitness training.

Sport is a sensuous experience, a form of a “deep play” which, quite simply, makes us feel well. It is necessary for everybody to switch to something entirely different from work. Exercise today is not simply a way to get a workout; it is an entry into a realm of fantasy. People who love sports appear to be equally adept at both modifying traditional forms of sport and inventing new ones to suit their purpose. Those who like the thrill and the freedom of floating in air have the opportunity of going in for gliding and sport parachuting. Sailing and yachting continue to be extremely popular ways of spending spare time for well-to-do individuals. Some people pursue such activities as jogging, skiing and skating. No description of recreational sport would be complete without some mention of bowling. This game has millions of participants throughout the world. The main thing about the hobbies related to sport is that they remove tension from the mind, rest the soul, and help people to keep fit and to feel refreshed. It’s very useful to have something to switch to, and manage to combine both hobby and career. No matter what one’s interests are, it is easy to find information, encouragement and companionship that make a hobby fan.
