This article tackles from a present perspective the topic of Benefits of Leisure, one of the main concepts in the study of leisure as a personal and social development. An evolutionary approach of the concept is brought by means of different theoretical tendencies, underlining the importance of benefits of leisure understood from a sense: as an improvement of a condition or situation of a person, group or entity, as a prevention and/or maintenance and finally, as an acquisition of a satisfactory psychological experience in the frame of a right leisure. From the author's point of view, leisure promotes the consequence of two types of benefits, intermediate and final ones, that contribute to improve the citizens wellfare and quality of life. Professionals of leisure, from either public or private sector, should become aware of benefits that can be promoted by means of leisure and introduce this knowledge in the outline of policies, management strategies and models of leisure intervention.

Palavras-chave : benefits of leisure; quality of life; leisure policies; participation; leisure.
