Study of a Model for Introducing Sports Recreation

The world's population is aging rapidly, and it is projected that by 2060 the percentage of the world's total population aged 65 and over will be 17.8％. This will lead to a decrease in the working population, a shrinking economy, stagnation of economic activities and insufficient social security funds. Against this social backdrop, companies are implementing initiatives to maintain and improve the health and QOL of their employees through the practice of health management. Health management is a management approach that considers the employees’ health management from a managerial perspective and the strategic implementation of it. It is important to view expenditures related to employee health promotion as an investment rather than a cost. Since previous studies have shown that recreational activities are programs designed to improve employee motivation and job satisfaction, we examined the introduction of sports recreation as a program development in health management."departmental bulletin pape
