- Abstract
In general adolescents have many resources and great facilities to enjoy leisure, but its development is not without problems. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the activities and adolescents' leisure resources, as well as to determine the locations and the circles from which leisure activities arise. This study is tackled from a qualitative approach through a case study. In order to collect data, the reporting technique was used. 95 adolescents aged 13-17 living in urban settings participated in the study. The results and conclusions of the investigation highlight that adolescents develop different healthy activities in their free time through various resources. Activities associated to sports, music and the digital world were especially highlighted as relevant. Among the latter activities, the subject sample mention watching TV, chatting, net surfing and playing video games. Using social networks is not rated as an especially relevant activity. On the other hand, they show preference for activities carried out individually and with other people within their age group. Activities carried out with family members and indoors are not frequently reported. Consumerist habits do not have a relevant role.
