Study Notes

Leave No Trace Principles

Examine archeological structures, old walls, and other heritage artifacts, but do not touch nor leave marks on them.
Leave nature as you found it, do not take any plant, rock, plants, or marine animals with you.
Avoid introducing non-native plants and animals.
Protect wildlife and secure your food by storing trash properly.
Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches.

Minimize Campfire Impacts

Use lightweight stoves for cooking; campfires can cause lasting impacts.
If fires are permitted, use fire rings or mound fires that are already set-up.
Keep fires small and use only sticks from the ground that can be broken by hand.
Do not burn plastics or other substances that emit toxic fumes.

Respect Wildlife

Observe wild animals from a distance and avoid them during sensitive times such as mating, nesting, or raising the young.
Do not feed wild animals or birds as it is not their natural food.

Recreation Principles

A day can be divided into three parts: Existence Time, Subsistence Time, and Free Time.
The way the body responds to physical activity is very specific to the activity itself (Principle of Specificity).
To progress and improve, put the body under additional stress beyond what is normal (Principle of Overload).
Bodies adapt to the current exercise routine over time, so changing up the training keeps your body from getting too used to one routine (Principle of Progression).
Workout gains or progress will be lost when an athlete stops training (Principle of Reversibility).

FITT Principle

Frequency: How often the individual performs the targeted exercise or physical activity.

Physical benefits: develops lean endurance muscles, improves cardiovascular system, and strengthens hands.
Mental benefits: goal setting, self-confidence, visualization, determination, concentration, sense of achievement, and problem-solving.
Social benefits: networking and friendship, build trust, communication and listening skills, leadership skills, and build character.

Leave No Trace Principles (Continued)

Plan ahead and prepare by checking if your planned activity is permitted, preparing equipment, planning for emergencies, and checking the weather forecast.
Travel on durable surfaces like established tracks, rocks, gravel, and dry grasses, and avoid walking on soft surfaces.
Dispose of waste properly by packing everything in and out, and digging cat holes for human waste.
