OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY

Outdoor recreation or outdoor activity

refers to recreation engaged in out of
doors, most commonly in natural settings.
The activities that encompass outdoor
recreation vary depending on the physical
environment they are being carried out.

4
Outdoor recreation is typically pursued for purposes of physical exercise, general
well-being, spiritual renewal, and an opportunity to partake in nature whilst doing.

1. Mountaineering, or mountain climbing, is the spot of reaching, or trying to

reach high points on mountainous areas mainly for the joy and thrill of the climb. This
sport involve intense physical activity involve with the activity of walking long
distance especially across country or traversing mountain ranges thru the help of
train signs.

A. Hiking- a long, vigorous walk, usually on trails or footpaths in the countryside

for a day or overnight. It is a natural exercise that promotes physical fitness, is
economical and convenient, and requires no special equipment. Because
hikers can walk as far as they want, there is no physical strain unless they
walk among hills or mountains.
B. Trekking- involves a long vigorous hike in wild nature environment for
multiple days. It can be done off hiking trails.
C. Orienteering- is a recreational outdoor activity in which learners find their way
to various checkpoints across rough country with the aid of a map and
compass.
D. Camping- is an outdoor activity living in a campsite.

2. Aquatics is a recreational outdoor sports that involve bodies of water.

A. Snorkelling is the practice of swimming on or through a body of water while

equipped with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and
usually swim fins. It is also used by scuba divers when on the surface, in
underwater sports such as underwater hockey and underwater rugby.
B. Diving- Underwater diving, as a human activity, is the practice of descending
below the water's surface to interact with the environment. Immersion in water

 and exposure to high ambient pressure have physiological effects that limit
the depths and duration possible in ambient pressure diving.
OUTDOOR RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES INTENSITY

MODERATE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Moderates - intensity activities are those that get you moving fast enough or
strenuously enough to burn off three to six times as much energy per minutes as you
do when you are sitting quietly or exercises that clock in at 3 to 6 MET’s.

Moderate activity includes:

 Walking in a normal way in a trail
 Water Aerobics
 Free wheel cycling downhill
 Biking slower than 10 mph
 Brisk walking (atleast 2.5 mph)
 Camping

Moderate activity feels somewhat hard. Here are clues that your exercise
intensity is at a moderate level:
 Your breathing quickens, but you’re not out of breath.
 You develop a light sweat after about 10 minutes of activity.
 You can carry on a conversation, but you can’t sing.

VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY:

Vigorous-intensity activities are defined as activities 6 MET’s. These activities
require more oxygen consumption than light activities.

Some examples of vigorous physical activities include:

 running (5 mph)
 fast swimming
 Swimming Laps
 Trekking in a steeply uphill
 Cycling in a steeply uphill
 Breaststroke swimming
 Hiking with a heavy backpack

Vigorous activity feels challenging. Here are clues that your exercise intensity is at a
vigorous level:
 Your breathing is deep and rapid.
 You develop a sweat after only a few minutes of activity.
 You can’t say more than a few words without pausing from breathing.

FYI
“MET” is another name for metabolic equivalent; a measure of exercise
intensity based on oxygen consumption. More specifically, a single MET is
defined as the amount of oxygen a person consumes (or the energy expended)
per unit of body weight during 1 minute of rest. It is equal to about 3.5 millilitres
(ml) of oxygen consumption per kilogram (kg) of body weight per minute, or 1
kilocalorie (kcal) per kg of body weight per hour (Brooks, Fahey & White 1995).
6
 For example:

1 MET for a 70 kg person (154 pounds) is equal to an oxygen consumption of 245

ml per minute (i.e., 3.5 ml · kg-1 · min-1 x 70 kg), or approximately 70 kcal per
hour (i.e., 1 kcal x 70 kg). In other words, if a client weighs 154 pounds, he will
burn about 70 calories an hour just sitting around.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODERATE AND VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Moderate – intensity Physical Activity Vigorous – intensity Physical Activity

and causes rapid breathing and a
substantial increase in heart rate.

Carrying/ moving heavy loads (>20kg)

ASSESSING ONESELF DURING PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

Make sure to monitor how to get your heart rate doing in physical activities
whether it is a moderate or vigorous activity you must consider following the rules
and guidelines on getting your heart rate.

Understanding exercise intensity:

When you’re doing the activity. Such as walking or biking, exercise intensity
correlates with how hard the activity feels to you. Exercise intensity is also shown in
your breathing and heart rate, whether you’re sweating, and how tired your muscles
feel.

There are two ways to measure exercise intensity:

1. How you feel. Exercise intensity is a subject's measure of how hard physical
activity feels to you while you’re doing it -- your perceived exertion, your
perceived exertion level may be different from what someone else feels doing
the same exercise. For example, what feels to you like a hard run can feel like
an easy workout to someone who’s more fit?

7
 2. Your heart rate. Your heart rate offers a more objective look at exercise
intensity. In general, the higher your heart rate during physical, the higher your
exercise intensity.

Here how to get your Target heart rate;

According to Hoeger and Hoeger (2011), research indicates a more favorable
prediction using the computation below than the equation 220 - age.

Here are the steps to get your target heart rate.

1. Estimate your maximal heart rate (max HR/MHR) according to the following
formula:
2.
MaxHR/MHR = 207 - (0.7 × age)

3. Check your resting heart rate (RHR) sometimes in the evening after sitting
quickly for 15 to 20 minutes. You may take your pulse for 30 seconds and
multiply by 2 or take it for a full minute.

4. Determine heart rate reserve (HRR) using this formula:

HRR = MHR - RHR

5. Calculate the training intensity at 30, 40, 60 and 85 percent. Multiply HRR by
the respective 0.30, 0.40, 0.60 and 0.85 and then add the HRR to all four
training intensities.
Example:

60% Training intensity = HRR × 0.60 + RHR

Here is the example computation on how to get the heart rate according to Hoeger
and Hoeger (2011). As if the age of the students is 19 years old.

Step #1: maxHR / MHR = 207 - (0.7 × age)

= 207 - (0.7 × 19)
= 207 - (11.9)
MHR = 195.1
Step #2: RHR = (take your pulse rate for 30seconds (45) and multiply by 2 RHR =
90

Step #3: HRR = MHR - RHR

= 195.1 - 90
HRR = 105.1

Step #4: 60% Training Intensity = HRR × 0.60 + RHR

= (105.1 × 0.60) + 90
= 63.06 +90
= 153.06
*(Therefore, your heart rate according to Hoeger (2011) and we relate to the rate of
perceive exertion (RPE), the results are 153.06, which means “Hard” your effort of

the activity required depends on how to improve and pushing to do more physical
activities.)

 Exercise experts mean activity in metabolic equivalent, or
MET’s. One MET is defined as the energy it takes to sit quietly.
Physical activity of all kinds can be performed in a variety of
intensities, ranging between light, moderate and vigorous
(high) intensity activity. The understanding between intensity
levels is important to understanding the current physical
activity.
