Abstract :The aim of this study was to presented leisure behaviors of Turkish recreational runners by examining the relationship between uncontrolled eating, leisure boredom and life satisfaction. Respondents (N= 253) were selected from recreational running activities organized in some non-governmental organizations and social groups. The results proved boredom in leisure had negative, direct effects on uncontrolled eating and life satisfaction. In contrast, uncontrolled eating was not found to be associated with life satisfaction, and no indirect effect was found in the model. Finally, the model results as to respondents’ gender presented there were no significant direct effects on leisure boredom, uncontrolled eating, and life satisfaction. All these results revealed that there might be an important relationship between bored in leisure, eating habits and life satisfaction, and demonstrated that the psychosocial effects of recreational running could be better understood with such studies in the fields of health and psychology.
