The potential contributions of leisure to health have receivedincreasing attention from a public and population health perspective . While leisure constraints have been studied for four decades in North America,there are no previous studies on exploring relationship between leisure constraints and health . Therefore,the purpose of this study is to explore how leisure constraints influence individual's health .Thefindingof this studyindicates that social andself-imposed constraints (e .g .,study pressure,spouse decision,taking care of children) affected individuals'p hysical condition (medical treatment and physical pain) and psychological constraints (e .g .,lack of energy,lack of motivation) also influence meaningful lifestyle (e .g .,quality of life,acceptance of bodily appearance) and physical health . The result of this study provides new perspectives for leisure constraints and health in East Asian big cities (e .g .,Seoul,Tokyo,Beijing,Shanghai and Hangzhou) .
