Health conditions including high perceived stress rates, obesity, high smoking rates, and low happiness rates have hampered the health and vitality of Korean adult males in recent decades. Leisure awareness is recognized as an influencing factor towards a healthy lifestyle. However, few research has yet to be conducted. In this study, leisure awareness is further defined to include leisure attitude, leisure knowledge, and leisure skill.
