Study Notes
What is Recreational Activity?
- A day can be divided into three parts: existence time (biological needs), subsistence time (work, school), and free time (recreational activities).
- Recreation is derived from the Latin word "recreare," meaning to be refreshed.
- It refers to leisure activities in free time, varying by person's interests, pursuits, and needs.
- It's a time for replenishing energy and participating in voluntary activities after work.
- Studies show that individuals who participate in sports have higher quality of life scores than those who don't.
Classifications of Recreational Activities
- Passive recreation involves limited physical exertion, like playing chess or reading books.
- Active recreation requires substantial energy and movement, such as playing volleyball or hiking.
External Factors Influencing Participation
- Social factors: Family and friends influence recreational choices; if they are active, you might be more inclined to participate.
- Environmental factors: Surrounding environment influences recreational choices (e.g., those in urban areas might do more photography than those in rural areas).
Benefits of Recreational Activities
- Physical Health: Improves lower body fat, cholesterol, muscular strength, flexibility, energy, and stamina, positively impacting class attendance and attention in academics. It improves heart health and prevents diseases (bone diseases and obesity).
- Psycho-emotional: Reduces stress, prevents depression, increases self-esteem, creativity, and personal/spiritual growth.
- Social: Helps families connect, allows meeting people with similar interests, promotes stewardship, and enhances individual productivity at work.
- Economic: Certain recreational activities like ecotourism benefit local communities financially.
- Spiritual: Strengthens individuals and rejuvenates/soothes the body and soul through activities.
Outdoor Recreation
- Outdoor recreation takes place in natural settings (fishing, backpacking, horseback riding).
- The outdoors encompasses natural areas and resources (land, water, wildlife, vegetation, and scenery).
7 Principles for Outdoor Recreation ("Leave No Trace")
- Plan ahead and prepare (research area, weather, permits, gear).
- Travel and camp on durable surfaces (stick to designated trails).
- Dispose of waste properly (pack it in, pack it out).
- Leave what you find (do not remove natural objects, etc.)
- Minimize campfire impacts (use designated areas, small fires, and extinguish completely).
- Respect wildlife (observe from a distance, do not feed, store food properly).
- Be considerate of other visitors (respect other people, etc.).
Recreational Activities - Land, Water, Air
- Examples of activities include hiking, trekking, biking, camping, bird watching, rock climbing, orienteering.
- Water activities include swimming, kayaking, canoeing, snorkeling, rafting.
- Air related activities such as skydiving, and paragliding.
Types of Recreational Activities
- Physical activities (sports, games, fitness, hiking, dancing)
- Social activities (parties, camping, volunteering).
- Cultural activities (arts & crafts, music, dance, photography).
- Intellectual activities (reading, learning new languages)
- Health related fitness (body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility)
