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%.
  • A notable trend is that young people from less privileged social backgrounds participate in structured, education-oriented activities far less than those with more financial resources.
