A three-phase process of collection resulted in data from a total of 111 subjects, 51.4% male and 48.6% female with a total mean age of 30.4 years, who participated in a white water rafting trip on the Chattooga River during July and August 2002. In the first step, each subject was required to fill out a two-page questionnaire about the trip and the level of optimal experience during the rafting activity. After the rafting activity, an on-site laboratory experiment to examine the psychophysiological responses associated with recollections of the white-water rafting experiences and stress relief effect was conducted. The physiological responses of the participants were collected on four parameters, right- and left-brainwave (EEG), forehead muscle tension (EMG) and blood volume pulse (BVP). One month later, each participant received a follow-up questionnaire to assess his/her introspective benefits.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a A three-phase process of collection resulted in data from a total of 111 subjects, 51.4% male and 48.6% female with a total mean age of 30.4 years, who participated in a white water rafting trip on the Chattooga River during July and August 2002. In the first step, each subject was required to fill out a two-page questionnaire about the trip and the level of optimal experience during the rafting activity. After the rafting activity, an on-site laboratory experiment to examine the psychophysiological responses associated with recollections of the white-water rafting experiences and stress relief effect was conducted. The physiological responses of the participants were collected on four parameters, right- and left-brainwave (EEG), forehead muscle tension (EMG) and blood volume pulse (BVP). One month later, each participant received a follow-up questionnaire to assess his/her introspective benefits.
520 $a Three findings relating to ten hypotheses groups have been identified. First, the recollection of and talking about rafting experiences were sufficient to produce psychophysiological changes and such changes were different according to the participants' optimal experiences, either exciting or a relaxing rafting experience. In general, the recollection of exciting experiences has a more significant stress relief effect than the recollection of relaxing rafting experiences has, however, most of results were qualified by age, gender and water level of difficulty which subjects participated in. Furthermore, the participants' physical responses had higher values when talking about their rafting experiences as compared to a thoughtful recollection. Finally, the mean differences in off-site perceived benefits have been found for the high, medium and low peak groups.
520 $a The results provide recreation managers some criteria to measure optimal experiences of recreationists' and for structuring a more efficient approach to deliver recreation resources. For therapists and counselors, talking about and recollecting a real-life recreation experience can be used to strengthen the importance of leisure in both physical and psychological therapy. Results of psychophysiological approaches to studying outdoor recreation can help to explain more fully existing social-psychological research findings.
