A traditional view holds that work is supported by recreation, recreation being useful to "recharge the battery" so that work performance is improved.
It has been proposed that play or recreational activities are outlets of or expression of excess energy, channeling it into socially acceptable activities that fulfill individual as well as societal needs, without need for compulsion, and providing satisfaction and pleasure for the participant. Children may playfully imitate activities that reflect the realities of adult life. Recreation is difficult to separate from the general concept of play, which is usually the term for children's recreational activity. Leisure is considered a human right under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This direction of thought has even been extended to the view that leisure is the purpose of work, and a reward in itself, and "leisure life" reflects the values and character of a nation. While one perception is that leisure is just "spare time", time not consumed by the necessities of living, another holds that leisure is a force that allows individuals to consider and reflect on the values and realities that are missed in the activities of daily life, thus being an essential element of personal development and civilization. Other factors that account for an increased role of recreation are affluence, population trends, and increased commercialization of recreational offerings.
Leisure has increased with increased longevity and, for many, with decreased hours spent for physical and economic survival, yet others argue that time pressure has increased for modern people, as they are committed to too many tasks.

The term recreation appears to have been used in English first in the late 14th century, first in the sense of "refreshment or curing of a sick person", and derived turn from Latin ( re: "again", creare: "to create, bring forth, beget").
