Resumo	Sport service quality measurement adapts general service-quality theory to the distinctive features of sport and recreation settings, where the 'service' is an active, participatory experience rather than a simple transaction. Ko and Pastore's 2005 hierarchical model, the Scale of Service Quality in Recreational Sport (SSQRS), is the most influential sport-specific formulation. Drawing on Brady and Cronin's hierarchical conceptualization and the SERVQUAL tradition of Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry, it argues that recreational sport service quality is best understood as a higher-order construct composed of four primary dimensions — program quality, interaction quality, outcome quality, and physical-environment quality — each in turn built from more specific sub-dimensions. By structuring quality hierarchically rather than as a flat list of attributes, the model captures both the overall perception participants form and the specific facets that drive it, giving sport managers a diagnostic tool that links measured quality to satisfaction and behavioral intentions.	The Leisure Satisfaction Scale (LSS), developed by Jacob Beard and Mounir Ragheb in their 1980 Journal of Leisure Research article, measures the positive perceptions and feelings an individual derives from engaging in leisure activities — the extent to which leisure meets felt needs. From an initial pool of 59 indicators distilled through pilot studies and expert review, factor analysis yielded six interpretable components: psychological, educational, social, relaxation, physiological, and aesthetic. The full instrument comprises 51 items and a widely used 24-item short form, with a total reliability around .96 and strong subscale reliabilities. The LSS became the most recognized measure of leisure satisfaction and a standard outcome in studies linking leisure to quality of life, as in Ragheb and Griffith's demonstration that leisure satisfaction contributes to the life satisfaction of older adults.
