Action Hobbies

Leisure pursuit activities that involve significant action and physical effort.

Action hobbies such as sports, kayaking, mountain climbing, scuba diving and shooting are rich in growth opportunities. Action hobbies provide challenges, thrills and entertainment for those of us who may experience little of these in our working lives.

There is evidence that participating in these can improve our happiness and well-being , improve our concentration and reduce stress levels. Research suggests that action hobbies can enhance job prospects. 50 % of UK Volvo bosses surveyed said they preferred sporty candidates. They assumed such candidates would be energetic, confident and achievement orientated.

Action hobbies are also the basis of adventure based therapy.
