MZ Generation Prioritizing Self-Management Focuses on 'Sportscation'

A Neologism Combining Sports and Vacation: A Trip for Exercise Purposes

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] 'Sportscation' is gaining popularity, especially among the MZ generation who prioritize health and self-care. Sportscation is a combination of sports and vacation, referring to a holiday taken for the purpose of exercising.

According to the industry on the 29th, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, sportscation is attracting attention as a twofold activity that allows people to build stamina by exercising outdoors and enjoy small gatherings.

Wearing arm sleeves is essential during sportscation. They not only block ultraviolet rays but also protect delicate skin from various external environments such as unexpected chafing and scratches, and the banding effect helps to focus on muscle support.

The most popular sport to enjoy during sportscation is biking. However, wearing a helmet is essential to prepare for any possible accidents. Wearing a helmet protects the scalp from ultraviolet rays and safeguards the head, the most important part of the body.
