Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) considered one of the most important physical activity domains for public health intervention and research. It is an important subtype of physical activity (PA) for research and behavior change intervention in the oncology context. Compared to household, occupational, and commuting physical activities, leisure-time physical activity may provide the greatest opportunity for enjoyment and improvement in fitness-and health-related benefits (Amireault, 2015). Leisure can happen inside organized or unorganized environments. An individual can gain from leisure in a formal or informal manner. The idea of leisure is frequently identified with the opportunity for people to be what they want and the opportunity from limitations that keep people from looking for fulfilling closes (Edginton, 2006). Leisure regularly includes people looking for joy and satisfaction living. There might be sure suddenness to the leisure experience wherein the pioneer of action tries to make a structure without denying people of their apparent opportunity (Edginton, 2006).
The mixing and advancement of physical activity in leisure conditions may hold an incredible guarantee of improving the lives of people. For most children and youth, leisure time gives a phenomenal scene to physical exercises going from informal play to increasingly intricate and profoundly sorted out sports and athletic occasions (Edginton, 2006). For adults, most, if not all, physical action will happen during their leisure time. With legitimate instructive and coaching projects, children and youth can convey into their adulthood the qualities and advantages picked up from taking an interest in leisure-time physical activity (Edginton, 2006).
In global, there were different patterns of leisure-time physical activity participation among children, adolescents and adults. The participation of child and adolescent were highly dependent upon the region. Besides, the participation of youth team sport in American was high meanwhile the likely participation in lifelong physical activities was high in the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific. Next, running and walking were consistent participation for adults globally. Among all these age groups and regions, soccer most popular among them (Hulteen, 2016).
The participation of leisure activity can be defined as how humans contribute their free time towards an activity that is free from rules and regulations. It is shown that participation in leisure activity been done in free time. Leisure activity also can be defined as people utilized their time to perform various activities (Torkildsen, 2005). While, leisure patterns, like other aspects of human behavior, are believed to exhibit both change and continuity across the life span (Iso-Ahola, 1980;Kelly, 1974Kelly, , 1977. According to Iso-Aloha (1980), as individuals age, they are changing physical, psychological, and social circumstances impact on the ways they use their free time. Hulteen (2007), founded that there were activities that been done by most of the group of age globally which were children, adolescents, and adults. These activities were categorized as lifelong physical activity and team sports activity. Gender orientation is the most grounded contributing variable to contrasts in relaxation designs, even among the informed. Men general take part in dynamic recreation, while ladies take part in aloof relaxation because of natural contrasts as well as conventional gender orientation jobs in which ladies are bound to get associated with parental figure's jobs inside the home, which may decrease the nature of relaxation for ladies (Andrijašević et al., 2005;Bittman & Wajcman, 2000;McGinnis, Chun, &McQuillan, 2003).
In addition, male university students interest in games and physical movement more than female college students, while the females seek after progressively detached relaxation, for example, tuning in to music, perusing books and magazines, going to chapel, taking part in family and family tasks, and taking treks (Andrijašević et al., 2005;Bouillet, Ilisin, & Potocnik, 2008;Rahim et al., 2011). Because of thought processes in partaking in recreation exercises contrast among young men and young women (Leversen et al., 2012). Young ladies are all the more socially roused (Francis &Kentel, 2008) and see 'accomplishment recreation' as characterized (Passmore & French, 2001) to be less charming than young fellows do. Young ladies appear to be more pulled in to organized exercises and young men to unstructured exercises (Geidne et al., 2015;Lindström and Öqvist, 2013).
Also, male understudies contribute about twice as much vitality looking into physical activities as female students do and they partake in recreation clubs multiple times more than female understudies do. This is unsurprising with the investigation in which female students were shown to be slanted to pick isolates unwinding practices just as to require in clear amusement capacities when appeared differently in relation to male understudies (Hickerson and Beggs, 2007). In addition, females are almost certain than males to create wellbeing distress related to an absence of physical action (Andrijašević et al., 2005;Buckworth, 2001).

Public facilities
The network of public facilities represents one of the many factors that influence the quality of life within the urban environment (Ana, 2016). One of the main attributes of the public facilities is that they provide members of the local community with the services they require in order to live a qualitative life, such as unlimited access to elementary, secondary and tertiary education, health facilities (for both preventing and dealing with health problems), commercial facilities, green areas, public parking, etc. (Ana, 2016).
In addition, the network of public facilities positively influences the society by providing work for a large number of citizens, from different backgrounds and with various specializations that can thus reach their potential, while also contributing to the well-being of the community as a whole. But the most important attribute of the public facilities is that they dramatically increase the attraction potential of the public space, thus playing a crucial role within the urban network (Ana, 2016). In other words, the public facilities animate the built tissue, attracting people and generating activities, an essential factor for a lively urban environment, as well as for a qualitative urban life (Ana, 2016).
Based on a previous study in Norway, sports facilities have formed part of Norwegian public health policies to increase physical activity among children and adolescents. According to Torgeir (2008), the results had explored 662 young people's who were (age6-9 years), used 19 different kinds of sports facilities. According to Torgeir (2008), the findings indicate that sports facilities, in general, were less www.msocialsciences.com used by girls, adolescents (14-16 years) and the least active (physically active ≤ 1 times/week outside school) than by boys, children (6-13 years) and the most active (physically active ≥ 4 times/ week outside school). More general, multifunctional facilities were used to a greater extent than specialized facilities, particularly by the least active. Distance to the facility was important for the use of common facilities (Torgeir, 2008).

Conclusion & Recommendation
As a conclusion, the overall result of the first objectives, the most activity done by a week by Klang community is the activity at home such as surfing the internet, cooking and watching tv. From this result, it shows that the statement from Aisyah (2018), stated that the decrease in physical activities is caused by the improvement of technology. While sports activities such as badminton and futsal still been run by Klang community, it still shows that the domination of technologies makes people do a less physical activity outside. Besides that, active and passive recreation activities such as jogging and gymnasium also had been picked but the development and improvement of technologies make these activities behind these activities that can be done at home.
Furthermore, there were public facilities that can be used by the Klang community. As from the results, overall of respondents based on highest chosen by gender stated that recreational park exists and too easy to access it. Hence, the existence of this facility can help Klang community to participate in physical activity but it needs to be practiced so that these facilities can be accessed by all of the Klang community. By this, the improvement of technologies will not dominate the activities of the Klang community.
