虽然休闲研究、娱乐和公园领域是建立在满足人们的健康和保健需求的基础上的，但直到最近，这些需求才得到了重大的、系统的研究工作的解决。本文探讨了休闲研究的起源，休闲行为和公园利用的研究及其对积极生活研究的潜在贡献。在过去的20年里，休闲研究产生了一系列与理解和增加积极生活有关的文献，包括对时间使用、发起和维持活动的动机、用户费用的影响和城市公园使用的研究。环境、交通和公共娱乐政策和管理实践也是娱乐和公园研究中的重要考虑因素。本文最后提出了一系列建议，以将这些和其他考虑因素整合到关于积极生活的跨学科研究中。关于积极生活的休闲研究/娱乐和公园研究的机会包括对环境、寿命和动机影响的研究;更多地使用身体活动的客观衡量标准;以及与相关行业建立合作伙伴关系来研究身体活动。促进这种研究的建议包括为休闲研究和娱乐研究人员举办积极生活研究方法的培训研讨会，改变赠款提案的点分配，为跨学科合作提供激励措施，以及特殊期刊问题。
Although the fields of leisure studies and recreation and parks were founded on addressing health and wellness needs of people, only recently have these needs been addressed by major, systematic research efforts. This paper examines the origins of leisure studies and the study of recreation behavior and park use and their potential contribution to active living research. Over the past 2 decades, leisure Studies research has generated a body of literature pertinent to understanding and increasing active living, including studies on time use, motivation for initiating and maintaining activity, influence of user fees, and urban park use. Environmental, transportation, and public recreation policy and managernent practices also are important considerations in recreation and parks research. This article concludes with a list of recommendations to integrate these and other considerations into transdisciplinarv research on active living. Opportunities for leisure studies/recreation and park research on active living include studies of environmental, life span, and motivational influences; greater use of objective measures of physical activity; and forming partnerships with allied industries to study physical activity. Among suggestions for facilitating such studies are training seminars for leisure studies and recreation researchers in active living research methods, changes in point allocation on grant proposals, providing incentives for transdisciplinary collaboration, and special journal issues.
