The text seeks to identify and discuss the fundamentals used by respondents to support their understanding.

The results showed that free time, and the concepts of leisure and recreation usually appears as spheres contrary to the work. Although not unanimous, the prevailing understanding of free time as that which remains after the completion of the professional activities, obligations and other commitments, representing a released time to do what you like and want. Some respondents made explicit their choice not to use the concept of free time, highlighting the contradictions that permeate this expression.
