LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET NO.1

I. Introduction
The Department of Education will conduct an awareness campaign that
would inspire Filipino youth to participate in recreational activities. This allows
the youth to consider active recreation that will not only enhance their social
skills but would also develop their lifestyle.
Holidays, long weekends, school breaks, and summer vacations are the
most awaited days for people who have been very busy with work and school.
These are the days they can have a break from the routine or perhaps from the
“stress” of life, as often said and heard in recent years, if one observes the social
media, more and more Filipinos head to the countryside and enjoy what nature
offers. Ecotourism activities in the Philippines have been gaining popularity as
well. From north to south, our country can never run cut of natural scenery to
visit and outdoor activities to participate in – be it in water, on land, or in the
air. We will get to know and understand various outdoor recreational activities
that we can do in the different parts of our country. One will also get to know
and appreciate the different outdoor recreational spots that our country offers.

IV. Discussion

People engage in recreational activities for varied reasons. Some do it for

personal satisfaction and enjoyment. Perhaps, it is a time away from the day –
to – day routine. Others do it to be in touch with nature, which they rarely have
the chance to do, especially for those who reside in highly urbanized areas.
 Outdoor Recreation is organized activities done during one’s free time for
his/her own personal reasons, where interaction between man and an element
of nature are is present

RECREATION- Latin word “recreare”means to refresh. Choice for recreation

pursuits, and needs which may be reflective of one’s beliefs and level of
gratification.

Benefits of Outdoor Recreation

a. Physical health - Being outdoors prevents a person from having a
sedentary life. It allows people to move, whether by walking, running,
swimming, biking, paddling, etc. With the surge of electronic gadgets
more and more people (children and adults alike) are unconsciously
 getting stuck with sedentary life, contented with playing with their
computer games, tablets, or cellphones, or watching television for hours.
b. Psycho- Emotional – engaging in outdoor recreation activities helps
people to rest, relax, de stress or unwind, and feel revitalized. In fact
some research showed that too much artificial stimulation and time
spent in purely human environments can cause exhaustion and loss of
vitality and health.
c. Social – outdoor activities are ways for families to become closer. They
can be a family bonding activity as each family member participates in
an activity achieves a common goal, and gives through the same
experience. Spending time outdoors also allows one to meet and interact
with others who share the same passion for outdoor recreation.
d. Economic – people who have a relaxed body and mind tend to be more
productive at work. This translates into efficiency at the workplace. It
has been rewarding for the local folks as ecotourism in the country
created jobs and other economic activities which have, one way or
another, contributed to our economic growth.
e. Spiritual – positive outdoor experiences can stir up spiritual values.
Being one with nature brings certain calmness within a person. It
strengthens an individual as it heals, rejuvenates, and soothens the body
and soul.
Physical Fitness
The body’s ability to function effectively and efficiently without
undue fatigue in work,leisure activities, to meet emergency situations
and to resist diseases from sedentary life. There are three important
aspects that an individual should be able to meet in order to be
considered physically fit.
Maybe some can remember having the 3 minute step, squats, sit
and reached test, and were asked to compute their body mass index
(BMI). All of these tests were to determine one’s health and fitness level
which includes learning about cardio respiratory endurance, muscular
strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition. If the last test one
has taken was a long time ago, take it again if one has the result of
his/her last fitness test, compare the result and see if one progressed or
even regressed through time. Do not just take this aside a requirement
but rather look at it as data that tells a person about his/her lifestyle.
