My recommendation would be (if you have room), to include interests if they exhibit some kind of desirable quality in yourself. e.g:
-Captain of university football team = leadership, comfortable in a team
-Martial arts instructor running own club for adults and children = drive, enthusiasm, comfortable presenting etc
-(Almost) anything unusual done to a high competitive standard = drive
Obviously it's not as clear-cut as that, many qualities will become more apparent from the interview etc. But the general idea is that you shouldn't just list your interests, you should list interests that say something beneficial about you as an individual.
Personally I don't have such a section on my CV as I don't have room and I've traditionally been concerned about the stigma attached to some of my interests (e.g. travelling to Sweden to play in a gaming tournament). Maybe I might consider it for a particular type of job.
