ABSTRACTION

Thanks for completing the Throwback101 activity! It’s now the perfect time to unlock the words that are significant in
this module. Let’s keep going.
Definition

Recreation is any enjoyable leisure experience in which the participant voluntarily engages and from which
he receives
immediate satisfaction, ( Carlson, et.al., 1963). It is also an activity which is performed for its own sake
during free time
which offers one joy and satisfaction and an outlet for his physical, mental, and creative powers (Vanniers,
1977)

Recreation comes from the Latin word recreare, which means to refresh or to restore.Whilefor others,
recreation is a voluntary activity that creates a diversion from work (Mull, et.al., 2005).

Outdoor recreation encompasses fishing in a mountain stream, contemplating a brilliant sunset, camping in
a park, planting a backyard garden, identifying unusual birds, or gathering shells on a beach. The basic
requirement for outdoor recreation is land (Carlson, et.al., 1963)

Leisure, in its narrowest sense of definition, is a mere diversion. In the highest sense, it is a developing,
creative, and re-creative experience. Leisure comes from the Latin word licere, meaning to be permitted
freedom or opportunity to do something of value (Vannier, 1977).
Free time is those hours remaining each day after work or school responsibilities are
completed. Play and Recreation

Recreation is different from play. Play is regarded as an activity which is done for rivalry, fulfilment and
enjoyment. Play therefore, is a spontaneous, physical activity for children. Recreation is a broad term.
 WIIFY (What’s in it for YOU?)

→As a college student, having some time to our self is very important, for us to have some fun and enjoy our life.
Having fun with the family, friends and co-worker can boost your confidence in socializing. Doing some recreation
activities helps our body exercise in just a move. Like mountaineering, surfing in the ocean, running , walking and many
more. We could also volunteer in some activities to have more fun in life.

based on your own understanding.

1. Compare the following and give specific examples of each terminologies.

Recreation vs. Leisure

Recreation is indulging in thrilling and exciting activities, to derive some satisfaction and have fun in one’s
leisure time while leisure is spare free time that happens to have a disposal and the time we tend to spend in
our own aspects.

terminologies in Recreation and Outdoor Activities. This time, let’s put everything into practice.
Create an article about “The advantage/s of indulging one’s self in any type of recreational/outdoor activities”. You may
use the space at the back of this paper or you may also post your article in our class official FB page.

“The advantage/s of indulging one’s self in any type of recreational/outdoor activities”

Taking part in recreational activities, especially outdoors, can greatly improve our physical health. Those people,
who take in park activities such as walking, hiking, or skiing, schedule fewer office visits, maintain lower body fat
percentages, and have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It really helps us to be healthy in our everyday lives.
Finding a way to stabilize the pressures of work and family with physical and mental wellbeing is important. People who
make recreation a priority are more likely satisfied with their lives overall.  Participating in recreational activities helps
manage stress. Taking time on nurturing oneself provides a sense of balance and self-esteem, in which it directly reduce
anxiety and depression of the person.
Through the recreational/outdoor activities, it helps a family to be united and have some bonding to ensure on staying
to each other’s side. And by volunteer to some activities like cleaning the streets, having a camping and enjoy on playing
with the other people. Being busy isn’t the same as being productive. If you engage in your tasks without having a break,
you’ll notice, at one point, your capacity decrease: you’ll become slower, mistakes will appear. Including recreational
activities in your routine will improve your professional performance. Making a routine that goods to your health and the
positive outlook on recreation is unlimited and endless in our world. There are great things that not only improve health
and wellness, but the building of self-esteem and stress reduction.
Recreational activities are a good way to practice transferable skills in a non-threatening situation. We gain a sense of
accomplishment and a feeling of pride as our sense of self improves. A sense of relaxation and stress reduction is
experienced. Participating in recreational activities increases overall activity level.
Thank you for completing Module 1. I am excited to hear from you again on our next module. As part of your
preparation,
kindly study about “The Characteristics of Recreation.” Again, this is Ms. MJ, have a beautiful day ahead of
you. God
bless!
