A escalada enquanto espaço/tempo de lazer de mulheres em Goiás (Brasil)

Abstract

This text presents the relationship that female climbers in the state of Goiás establish with the phenomenon of ‘leisure’. To this end, a questionnaire was created on the Google Forms platform, answered via email by 25 climbers. The results show that the option for climbing as a bodily practice is based on the search for occupying leisure time with a practice that takes place, fundamentally, in more natural and less urban spaces, due to the sociability produced in these spaces, and also due to: diversity of practice, adventure, physical and mental effort, the possibility of traveling, a tool for personal transformation, changing habits and encouraging a healthy life, self-satisfaction and self- esteem.
