LEARN

RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES are those activities held during one’s leisure time. Their purpose is
to refresh oneself by doing activities that are considered by an individual as enjoyable.
ACTIVE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES are activities that require large body movements such as
running, throwing, or jumping or those that are sports-specific movements.
Active recreational activities are highly recommended for health promotion. These activities require
more amounts of energy to be expended than usual energy expenditure. This means that you do
activities that make you exert more effort than what you usually do.
To identify the intensity of physical activity, we need to use the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE)
chart. It is a chart that assesses the intensity of exercise based on how the participant feels; a
subjective assessment of effort which ranges from 6 (very, very light) to 20 (very, very hard) with
one (1) point increments in between.

Benefits of Recreational Activities

People of different ages can benefit from regular physical activity. Significant health benefits can be
obtained by engaging in moderate amounts of physical activity on most, if not all days of the week.
Participation in regular moderate physical activity can lead to improved physical fitness.
Regular moderate physical activity means engaging in the relatively vigorous bodily movement for
30 minutes to 1 hour that can elevate your heart rate. “Regular” here refers to being active in most, if
not all days of the week. About 3 to 4 times per week or more are the recommended times of
exercise for an individual. You may opt to have rest days or easy days in between to allow your
body to recover from physical exertion.
Some of the benefits of engaging in recreational activities include;

 enhances personal growth

 helps to build self-esteem and confidence

 reduces tension and anxiety

 encourages spiritual renewal and personal growth

 increases mental relaxation

 generates a general sense of well being

 teaches positive conflict resolution skills

 provides alternative to self-destructive behaviors.
