There is a large and growing body of evidence on the health benefits of engagement in leisure activities (voluntary, enjoyable non-work activities, such as hobbies, arts, volunteering, community group membership, sports, and socialising). However, there is no unifying framework explaining how leisure activities affect health: what the mechanisms of action are by which engagement with leisure activities leads to the prevention, management, or treatment of mental and physical illness. In this Review, we identify and map over 600 mechanisms of action. These mechanisms can be categorised as psychological, biological, social, and behavioural processes that operate at individual (micro), group (meso), and societal (macro) levels, and are synthesised into a new theoretical framework: the Multi-level Leisure Mechanisms Framework. This framework situates understanding of leisure activities within the theoretical lens of complex adaptive systems and aims to support the design of more theory-driven, cross-disciplinary studies.
有大量证据表明，参与休闲活动（自愿、愉快的非工作活动，如爱好、艺术、志愿活动、社区团体成员、运动和社交）对健康有益。然而，目前还没有一个统一的框架来解释休闲活动是如何影响健康的：参与休闲活动是如何预防、管理或治疗身心疾病的。在这篇综述中，我们确定并绘制了 600 多种作用机制。这些机制可以分为心理、生物、社会和行为过程，它们在个体（微观）、群体（中观）和社会（宏观）层面上运作，并被综合成一个新的理论框架：多层次休闲机制框架。该框架将对休闲活动的理解置于复杂适应系统的理论视角下，旨在支持更具理论导向、跨学科的研究设计。
