 Types
of
Mountaineering
The term ‘mountaineering’ describes the sport of mountain climbing. While
some scholars identify mountaineering-related activities as climbing (rock and ice) and
trekking up mountains, others are also adding backpacking, hiking, skiing, via ferrata
and wilderness activities, and still others state that mountaineering activities also
include indoor climbing, sport climbing and bouldering. However most of the scholars,
the term mountaineering understand as a climbing (which now refers to adventure
climbing or sports climbing) and trekking (hill walking in 'exotic' places). Hiking in the
mountains can also be a simple form of mountaineering when it involves scrambling, or
short stretches of the more basic grades of rock climbing, as well as crossing glaciers.
Hiking - is the preferred term, in Canada and the United States, for a long,
vigorous walk, usually on trails (footpaths), in the countryside, while the word walking is
used for shorter, particularly urban walks. On the other hand, in the United Kingdom,
and the Republic of Ireland, the word "walking" is acceptable to describe all forms of
walking, whether it is a walk in the park or backpacking in the Alps. The word hiking is
also often used in the UK, along with rambling (a slightly old-fashioned
term), hillwalking, and fell walking (a term mostly used for hillwalking in northern
England). The term bushwalking is endemic to Australia, having been adopted by the
Sydney Bush Walkers club in 1927. In New Zealand a long, vigorous walk or hike is
called tramping. It is a popular activity with numerous hiking organizations worldwide,
and studies suggest that all forms of walking have health benefits.

Trekking - is a common term for multi-day hikes without the need for permanent
accommodation and with tent, partly away from infrastructure such as roads or paths.
Trekking is possible on foot as long-distance-hiking , but also as hiking ,
by bicycle , canoe , ski touring , cross-country skis or snowshoes .Trekking in remote,
sparsely populated areas is referred to as wilderness trekking. Difficult, mostly scientific
projects, in the travel industry also for organized wilderness trips that have not yet been
undertaken so, are commonly referred to as an expedition .Hiking (English hiking), on
the other hand, refers to civilization-oriented day trips on hiking trails.
Camping - is an outdoor activity involving overnight stays away from home in a
shelter, such as a tent. Generally participants leave developed areas to spend time
outdoors in more natural ones in pursuit of activities providing them enjoyment. To be
regarded as "camping" a minimum of one night is spent outdoors, distinguishing it from
day-tripping, picnicking, and other similarly short-term recreational activities. Camping
can be enjoyed through all four seasons.

Orienteering - is a group of sports that requires navigational skills using

a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar
terrain whilst moving at speed. Participants are given a topographical map, usually a
specially prepared orienteering map, which they use to find control points. Originally a
training exercise in land navigation for military officers, orienteering has developed
many variations. Among these, the oldest and the most popular is foot orienteering. For
the purposes of this article, foot orienteering serves as a point of departure for
discussion of all other variations, but almost any sport that involves racing against a
clock and requires navigation with a map is a type of orienteering.
 Examples
Of
MVPAS
(Moderate, Vigorous
Physical Activity)
Moderate Intensity – on an absolute scale, activity that is performed at
3.0-5.9 times the intensity of rest. On a scalerelative to an individual’s personal
capacity, moderate-intensity physical activity is usually a 5 or 6 on a scale of 0-10.

Examples:
 Ballroom and Line Dancing

 Biking on level ground or few hills

 Raking and Trimming

 Baseball, Softball and Volleyball

 Tennis (Doubles)

 Walking Briskly and Water Aerobics

Vigorous Intensity – on an absolute scale, activity that is performed at
6.0 or more times the intensity of rest for adults and typically 7.0 or more times for
children and youth. On a scale relative to an individual’s personal capacity, vigorous
intensity physical activity is usually a 7 or 8 on a scale of 0-10.

Examples:
 Aerobic Dance and Fast Dancing

 Biking faster than 10 miles per hour and Karate

 Digging and Hoeing

 Hiking Uphill and Tennis (Singles)

 Jumping Rope and Jogging

 Race Walking and Running

 Basketball, Hockey and Soccer
