Answer:

Arousal theory

Explanation:

Arousal theory is a theory of motivation and according to this theory people are motivated to perform actions because they want to maintain an optimum level of physiological arousal. There is a unique arousal level for each person. When the arousal level drops below this level, the person seeks for some sort of stimulation in order to elevate it up to the optimum level.

The same is the case of Juan in the question. Sky diving gives him a unique level of arousal and for maintaining it he practices the diving even he is tired after a long day of work.
