Study Notes
Extreme Sports
- The term "Extremsport" is used subjectively, referring to sports with higher risk levels.
- Examples include skiing on unsecured slopes, rock climbing without safety gear, bungee jumping, and free climbing.
- Participants seek to push their limits and experience, not just the highest risk.
- These activities can be pursued in various environments, like mountains, deserts, and even urban settings.
- Many extreme sports have specific competitions or events.
- A potential issue is an addiction to the risk and thrills, leading to risky behavior.
Youth Leisure Time
- A study by the German Economic Institute shows a notable increase in youth participation in music, sports, and voluntary work over the past 10 years.
- Between 16-17 year olds:
- Participation in educational activities increased from 48% to 62%.
- Music activities participation increased from 10% to 18%.
- Voluntary work significantly increased from 11% to 22%.
- The study reveals a decrease in informal activities with friends among 16-17 year olds, dropping from 40% to 25%.
