 What I Need to Know

Congratulations for completing the requirements on our last quarter! This will be the last
quarter with our subject, HOPE, in Luis Palad Integrated High School. As we continue your
HOPE journey, We would like to WELCOME you again, Grade 12 students in our “New
Normal” way of studying Physical Education and Health.

For this 4th Quarter let us start your Weeks 1 and 2 of Health Optimizing Physical Education
(HOPE) 4. In this module, you are going to learn about the nature of different recreational
activities that are done outside or activities that are done along with Nature. The given
activities in this module can be done individually or with the help of family members or
friends while following the proper health protocols.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. identify the different Outdoor Recreational Activities that is done with nature;
2. perform “new normal” recreational activities then analyze the HRF component that will
be developed from doing it,
3. value or give time to recreational activities for a person’s holistic development.

What I Know

Before we proceed to our module, let us first answer this pre-test so we’ll know
what you already know. Let’s start!

PRE-TEST
I. Direction: Analyze each picture below. Identify where each recreational activities were
conducted by considering the place where it can be played or done. Choose from Air, Land
and Water. Write your answer on the provided activity sheet.

1 with Recreational Activities

What’s In

It’s been years since we reconnect ourselves with Nature. As time goes by, we are
starting to get back on track! Shops, Parks, Mountains, Terrains and other places that offers
recreational activities are starting to reopen their doors to the people. But this doesn’t
mean that we would go back to where people don’t wear masks, of course we still have to
protect ourselves. There is still a pandemic happening, this is why establishments
implement the Guidelines given by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF). With that, people
can now reconnect with their friends, family, relatives, oneself, and with nature by hanging
out or going out safely. In this module, you will discover activities that you can do with your
loved ones and learn how these types of recreational activities affects your health. Before
we proceed with Lesson 1, you need to recall first what you have learned from last quarter.

RECAP!
Direction: Remember and write down what you’ve learned from our last quarter. Then
explain how you accomplished it.

Activity 1: Flashback!
Direction: Read and answer the following questions in another sheet of paper. Write your
answer on the provided activity sheet.
1. Have you gone to camping, whether in school, in church, or with family? Share your
experience. (If you don’t have experienced camping, imagine you are going to camp,
what do you want to experience in camping?)

2. Did you find / Would you find enjoyment camping?

What is It

Recreational Definition
Activity
Hiking It is an outdoor activity where there are clear paths to follow.
Paths are usually beautifully charted with signs so that hikers
won’t get lost along the trails. Natural hiking trails serve as guides
of the hikers to their destinations. It is usually shorter than
trekking.
Trekking This outdoor activity is a longer journey on foot compared to
hiking. The activity is quite challenging, allowing the trekkers to
pass through an uncharted path. Sometimes, this will take within a
few days or weeks. Usually, undeveloped places are explored in
trekking where there is a close-up view of the wonders of nature.
Camping Camping is an enjoyable outdoor activity that allows you to
experience simple adventures outside your homes. It allows a lot
of moving since it involves activities like carrying backpacks, hiking
and most of all pitching of tents. This activity lets your experience
interaction and bonding with others while engaging in different
educational activities.
Orienteering It is an outdoor activity that requires you to follow a specific
sequence of pre-set course with the help of navigating devices,
specifically maps and compass to go through an unfamiliar terrain.
Aside from physical, this activity requires mental toughness to be
able to reach the expected destination.
You can always make your own version of these recreational activities inside your
home, or withing your subdivision / compound (especially the camping and orienteering
activities). Even a simple household chore can be converted into something that will give
you and your loved ones an avenue to enjoy, relax and bond with one another during this
pandemic.

Outdoor activities have many health benefits, such as promoting physical activity and
could play a role in stress management and mental health. However, the outdoor
environment can be challenging for human physiology. Therefore, preparations are needed
before the start of the activity in order to prevent any potential responses to different
environmental challenges during outdoor activities and how to better prepare for them in
the wild.
The parameters of the human physiology include the Heart Rate, Blood Pressure,
Body Temperature, Rate of Perceived Exertion, and other more. These should be monitored
especially when you need to prepare for a certain activity that exerts effort on the human
body. The parameters will be measured by knowing first what kind of environment you will
encounter on your target venue.

Did You Know?

According to research, the environment has a great influence in the human
thermoregulation in different ways by four physics principles: radiation, conduction, evaporation and
convection. The heat transfer from or to a human body with the environment is based on physics
rules:
 Convection is a transfer of heat by fluid motion 9gas or liquid) across the surface.
 Conduction is a heat transfer from a solid material to another through direct contact, for
example, the hot sand on a beach to your feet.
 Radiation in the environment comes from the sun radiation, which is reflected from the
ground or a rock. Nonetheless, the radiation can arise from the human skin that constantly
radiates heat in all directions.
 Evaporation is the primary way
to dissipate heat from the
human body. For example,
sweat must evaporate to
dissipate the heat. For example,
sweat must evaporate to
dissipate the heat. In a situation
where the sweat stays in liquid
form, it represents a water loss
without heat loss for the human
body.
Shown on the image above is the
interactions of the human body to the
environment. Thermal balance between
environment factors as well as
behavioral and physiological human responses.

PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSE OF HUMAN BODY TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Some individual characteristics need to be taken into consideration with the
planning of outdoor activities. The physiological response of the human body on both cold
and heat are the same: to keep a body temperature balanced inside the vital range.
Depending on the environment, our body adapts with it. The changes occur in the body as a
result of recreational physical exercises can be momentary or permanent. The latter vary
significantly depending on the type of recreational activity, as a result of which they occur
and affect almost all functional systems of the body. That is why, when going on extreme
ventures, it requires preparation and practice thru physical activities.
RATE OF PERCIEVED EXERTION

The Rating of Perceived

Exertion (RPE) is a scale used to
identify the intensity of your
exercise based on how hard you
feel. The scale is based on a
range between 6 and 20, with 6
being the least amount of
exertion and 20 being the
maximum level of exertion. It
was developed in 1982 by
Swedish researcher Gunnar
Borg to determine an
individual’s level of exertion
during physical activity. This
derives from the following
physical markers an individual
may experience: Increased
Heart Rate, Increased Breathing
Rate, Increased Sweating,
Muscle Fatigue
When using the scale, it
is important that a person takes
into account how they feel as a
whole, rather than focusing on
one particular marker.

What’s More

Activity 2: My RPE!
