More findings from the 2010 survey:
- On an average day, nearly everyone age 15 and over engaged in some sort of leisure activity,
such as watching TV, socializing, or exercising. Of those who engaged in leisure activities, men
spent more time in these activities (5.8 hours) than did women (5.1 hours).
- Men were more likely than women to participate in sports, exercise, or recreation on any given
day—22 percent compared with 16 percent. On the days that they participated, men also spent
more time in these activities than did women—1.9 hours compared with 1.3 hours.
- Employed adults living in households with no children under 18 engaged in leisure activities
for 4.5 hours per day, nearly an hour more than employed adults living with a child under age 6.
