Freizeitverhalten und -interessen junger Soldaten im Vergleich zum Freizeitangebot der Bundeswehr (Leisure Time Behavior and Interests of Young Soldiers in Comparison to the Leisure Time Provisions of the Army)
Abstract
The objective of the study is to analyze the recreational and leisure occupation and interests of service members, facilitated by a questionnaire (included as an appendix) distributed to 2822 persons (ages 17-25) in 34 garrisons. The study reveals a difference in such activities between the time before and during military service: especially emergent once service has begun are sports, observably trendy also are more "solitary" activities such as reading. A large number of the surveyed demand an increase in time allocated to sports, and fitness centers are often castigated for offering faulty equipment. There seem to be no significant statistical differences arising from provenance (i.e., the former East or West Germany), military status or rank, or the section of the armed forces to which they belong. Women service members tend to be, however, more physically active than their male counterparts.
