This study aims to document, through a scoping review, the factors of risk-taking behaviors (RTBs) in recreational, physical, and sports activity (RPSA) among men aged 14–24. EBSCOhost, Scopus, and Web of Science databases as well as the range of years 2000–2014 were chosen to perform the scoping review. Many factors have been associated with the phenomenon of risk-taking: the physical environment, social influence, the recreational and sporting dimension, protective equipment, age, sensation-seeking, and substance consumption. On the one hand, some risk factors such as the recreational and sporting dimension as well as sensation-seeking are very well documented. On the other hand, some are not, which highlights the need to increase research, notably regarding the links between risk homeostasis, age, and peer influence with RTBs in RPSA.
