For the analysis of the data, t-test, MANOVA, ANOVA and simple correlation tests were used. Results indicated that the gender were significant only in “satisfaction” subscales of “LBS” in favour of women participants. MANOVA results indicated that main effect of regularly physical activity participation on “LBS”, “PSCS” and “YIAT-SF” scores of participants. Further, there were statistically significant correlation between “LBS” and “YIAT-SF” and “PSCS” mean scores. As a result, it can be said that women participants manage their leisure or are aware of the psychological rewards of their leisure. However, regular physical activity participation is thought to provide low perception of boredom, high communication skills, sociability and online exploration behavior.
