    Abstract

    In this article, direct and indirect energy use in connection with spare time activities will be examined. Subject matter includes 18 activities, seven of which involve participation in various entertainment and cultural events. Three activities are related to travel, and eight involve exercise and sports. The following pages set out activity related energy consumption per year, and break down energy use for each activity and individual participant. Both total energy use and consumption per user varies greatly in different activities. Transportation generally makes up 30-90% of the total energy used. Facilities require 10-40%, and equipment generally 5-20 % of the total.
