LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

NATURE AND BACKGROUND OF OUTDOOR RECREATION

Background Information for Learners

Participation in sport and recreation activities can reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
Participation in group recreation provides a sense of value, belonging and attachment. According
to Bandura’s social cognitive theory, behaviour is shaped by the interaction between individual
and environmental factors. This theory emphasizes the influence of social interaction in relation
to behaviour. There are both direct and indirect links between participation in group activity and
mental health. Thus, participation in organized sport and recreation can be a preventative and
curative strategy to promote positive mental health and combat mental illness. This supports the
development and maintenance of organized sport and recreational activities in the community.
These programs should be socially and culturally appropriate and should take into account
mediating factors that increase adherence to physical activity programs.

In participating recreational activity, there are things to consider.

a. Exercising alone as elf-motivated. A good option even busy schedule that sometime
prevent from planning a regular time to be active every day.
b. Training buddy. More likely to commit to a physical activity routine if doing with
someone else. Doing the activity with simple race may motivate to move.
c. Teams sports and group physical activity programs. The organized activities that offer the
chance to widen the social circle.
