PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AS
RECREATION
 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Physical activity or play is a primitive drive that we all possess and
when fulfilled leads to sensations of vitality and exhalation. The
sensation of letting go and exerting our muscles or a steady three-
mile run can provide exciting moments of physical joy that makes us
feel young and energetic.
 PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
All areas of the sports and recreation industry are becoming more popular
nowadays. Enrollment in local health or fitness clubs which emphasize
calisthenics, aerobics, zumba or ballroom dancing is popular. Significantly,
in recent years, people were eager to spend time and money to participate in
these activities.

atrophy. Life will be enhanced through the prudent, regular and systematic
use of the body. Greater sense of
well-being, far greater energy, and a calmer, more relaxed attitudes are
experienced.
 EXCERCISE
Exercise increases the formation of new blood vessels leading to the heart, thus
providing a natural counterpart of a coronary bypass operation. Regular sustained
aerobic exercise may increase the diameter of the large blood vessels. Exercise
increases the number of capillaries; hence, the amount of oxygen that can reach the
heart is also increased. Exercise also increases another cholesterol fraction – the
high-density lipoprotein.
Walking is one of the main gaits of terrestrial
locomotion among legged animals. Walking is
typically slower than running and other gaits.
Walking is defined by an 'inverted pendulum' gait
in which the body vaults over the stiff limb or
limbs with each step.
Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a
slow or leisurely pace. The main intention is
to increase physical fitness with less stress
on the body than from faster running but
more than walking, or to maintain a steady
speed for longer periods of time.

Social welfare system provide assistance to individuals, and families through programs such as health care,
food stamps, unemployment compensation, housing assistance, and child care assistance. In the Philippines,
a barangay health worker or social service worker is assigned to each individual or family applying for
benefits to determine and confirm the applicant’s needs.

person’s financial status and how it relates to the minimum acceptable levels. The factors involved can
include the size of the family unit, current income levels, or an assessed disability among others.
HOW SOCIAL WELFARE WORK?
Social welfare systems may go by different names, but they often serve similar functions. This can cause confusion
when attempting to compare one state’s program to another. Additionally, the requirements to qualify also vary,
depending on the poverty line in a particular state. This allows for adjustment based on items such as cost of living that
are not standardized across the county.
 A social welfare system offers assistance to individuals and families in need, with such programs as health care
assistance, food stamps, and unemployment compensation.
 Lesser known parts of a social welfare system include disaster relief and educational assistance.
 Eligibility for benefits is based on a number of factors, including income levels and family size.
 BENEFITS OF SOCIAL WELFARE

Available benefits usually (in the forms of cash and other services) here in the Philippines generally cover
assistance for food, housing, child care, and medical care. These funds may be used for cash assistance, allowing
a household to spend the funds as it deems necessary to meet its needs and obligations.

Some available housing benefits go beyond locating suitable and affordable properties and providing housing
cost assistance. A household may qualify for assistance to complete certain energy efficiency upgrades. It may also
receive funds to help pay utility bills.
 BENEFITS OF SOCIAL WELFARE
Benefits around health and nutrition can include access to affordable medical care. Food and nutrition
programs may supply funds, to provide easier access to basic needs like food in general. Additional nutritional
assistance through the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program provides food-specific benefits to ensure
pregnant women and young children have access to healthy food options to promote growth and development.

Others programs that are parts of the social welfare system include disaster relief assistance, educational
assistance, agricultural loans, and services specially for veterans.
