Table 2. Distribution of Participants on How They Usually Evaluate Their Leisure Time

When the data in Table 2 are examined, it is understood that a little more than half of the participants,
52.9%, spend their free time "frequently" with indoor activities, whereas only 10% of them do not spend
their free time "never" at home. In addition, the rate of participants stating that they "frequently"
participate in physical activities in their free time is 39.4%, the rate of participating in social activities is
36.5%, and the rate of participating in cultural-artistic activities is 19.5%. Nearly half of the participants
reported that they "sometimes" participate in outdoor activities (51.3%) and touristic activities (51.0%).
