What are the benefits of outdoor recreation?

Fun and pleasure are perhaps the immediate answers of the majority who
have experienced outdoor activities. However, there is more to it than just the fun.
Studies have shown that being close to natural environment is healthy. Aside from
the fresh air and the amazing sight of nature, the outdoors have positive effects on
the general wellness of an individual most especially if it is done with regularity.
Wellness encompasses the general state of a person (physical, social, psycho
emotional, and spiritual) and in the end contributes to a better quality of life.
(Aparato C. R., 2017)

Physical Health Benefits

 Being outdoor prevents a person from having a sedentary life. It allows people
to move, whether by walking, running, swimming, biking, paddling, etc. With the
surge of electronic gadgets more and more people (children and adults alike) are
unconsciously getting stuck with a sedentary life, contented with playing with their
computer games, tablets, or cell phones, or watching television for hours. Green
space is now called “screen space” Unknowingly, a great part of their day was spent
sitting or lying down with gadgets in their hands. The outdoors is a great distraction
from these gadgets. It helps people to be on the move. It gets their hearts pumping
and their bigger muscles at the work. Such movements expend energy, promote
cardiovascular and muscular fitness, and improve the function of the immune
system.

Psycho-Emotional Benefits
Engaging in outdoor recreational activities helps people to rest, relax, de-stress
or unwind and feel revitalized. In fact, some research showed that too much artificial
stimulation and time spent in purely human environments can cause exhaustion and
loss of vitality and health (Katcher & Baeck, 1987; Stilgoe, 2001).

Nature has its own way of positively distracting a stressed mind and calming it
down. As Kuo and Sullivan (2001) explained it, “natural setting and stimuli such as
landscape and animals seem to effortlessly engage our attention, allowing us to
attend without paying attention. “This alone helps reduce stress and prevents some
cases of depression and anxiety.

According to Aparato, C. R. (2017), being outdoor also improves our self-

esteem, confidence, and creativity. There is a sense of ‘’feeling good’’ whenever one
achieves the goal in a particular activity such as reaching the peak of a mountain or
learning a skill of padding in canoeing.

Lastly outdoor recreational activities contribute to one’s personal and spiritual

growth. It allows an individual to discover his/her inner spirit and sense of self,
creating new behaviors and identity. A person identifies with the activities that
he/she does such that he/she becomes “biker.” “diver”, and “mountaineer.” Then,
that individual identifies more with who he/she is at work. In the end, engaging in
these activities contributes to satisfaction in life and makes life happier.

Social Benefits

Outdoor activities are ways for families to become closer. They can be a
“family-bonding activity” as each family member participates in an activity, achieves
a common goal, and goes through the same experience.

Spending time outdoors also allows one to meet and interact with others who
share the same passion for outdoor recreation. Participating in a team will help form
lasting friendship and develop a community.

Outdoor recreation also promotes stewardship. Activities done outdoors in the

natural setting help in making people realize the great things that nature provides
mankind. Increased knowledge and appreciation helps them understand how
personal actions can strongly affect the environment. The natural environment and
advocate for its preservation.

Economic Benefits
 People who have a relaxed body and mind tend to be more productive at work.
This translates into efficiency at the workplace.

“It’s more fun in the Philippines!” as the Department of Tourism slogan goes.
Indeed, it is more fun as well everyone involved in ecotourism activities in the
Philippines. It has been rewarding for the way another, contributed to our economic
growth.

Spiritual Benefits

Positive outdoor experiences can stir up spiritual values. Being one with
nature brings certain calmness within a person. It strengthens an individual as it
heals, rejuvenates, and soothes the body and soul.

What are the important things that should be remembered when participating
in an outdoor recreational activity?

According to Mangubat, A. S. et. al., (2020) it has been established earlier that
outdoor recreation is an interaction between man and nature. The interaction should
come with care and respect. It is important that in using and enjoying what nature
offers, an equal responsibility in conserving and preserving it must be consciously
employed by the people. This way, everyone can continue to go back and have future
generations experience the great things in nature that the current generation has.
The “Leave No Trace Seven Principles” is a set of universal outdoor ethics that guides
one in the activities to do with nature. It also provides the framework for making
decisions in outdoor recreation. Taken from the Leave No Trace the principles are as
follows:

THE LEAVE NO TRACE SEVEN PRINCIPLES

Principle 1: Plan Ahead and Prepare

 Before going to a place, check if your planned activity is permitted. Make sure
to know the rules, guidelines, and safety procedures they have set. Some
places require certain permits or clearances.
 Make sure you have the needed equipment for your activity and the skills
needed to undertake the activity.
 Plan how to cope in case emergency arises.
 Check the weather forecast and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
 Learn when areas are most crowded and try to avoid those times.
 To minimize environmental impact and for safety reasons, keep group
numbers small.
 Repack food to minimize waste.
 When trekking, maps and compass must be used to avoid mark lings or
leaving of marks on rocks and the like.

Principle 2: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces.

 Walk, run, bike, or camp on durable surfaces like established tracks, rocks,
gravel, and dry grasses.
  Avoid walking on soft surfaces like soft plants. You might be trampling on a
young tree or pasture and this will cause vegetation damage.
 Use existing trails or campsites, no need to build a new campsite that will alter
the environment.
 To avoid erosion, talk in a single file in the middle of the trail.
 Avoid places where impacts are just beginning to show.
 When camping, keep the campsite small and discreet.
 Camp at least 200 feet from lakes and rivers to protect the waters.

Principle 3: Dispose of Waste Properly

 “Pack it in, pack it out” means everything you brought should be brought back
with you including left-over food or fruit peel. Nothing should be left.
 When camping, cat holes are dug (6-8 inches deep) for human waste and
covered just the same with soil and weeds or leaves on top.
 Dishes should be washed 200 feet away from lakes or rivers and use
biodegradable soap. Scatter strained dishwater.

Principle 4: Leave What You Find

 Examine archeological structures, old walls, and other heritage artifacts but
do not touch nor leave marks on them.
 Leave nature as you found them. Do not take any plant, rock, plants, or
marine animal with you.
 Avoid introducing non-native plants and animals.
 Do not build structures, furniture or dig trenches.

Principle 5: Minimize Campfire Impacts

 Use lightweight stove for cooking; campfire can cause lasting impacts.
 If fires are permitted, use fire rings or mound fires that are already set-up.
 Keep fires small and use only sticks from the ground than can be broken by
hand.
 No burning of plastics or other substances that emit toxic fumes.
 Burn all wood to ash and make sure fires are completely out. Scatter the cool
ash.

Principle 6: Respect Wildlife

 Observe wild animals from a distance and they should be avoided during
sensitive times such as mating, nesting, or raising the young.
 Do not feed wild animals or birds as it is not their natural food. The food might
damage their health or alter their natural behaviors and even expose them to
predators.
 Protect wildlife and protect your food as well by storing and securing the trash
well.
 In case you decide to bring your pets along, make sure it is allowed and you
can control them. Otherwise, do not bring them with you.

Principle 7: Be Considerate of Other Visitors

 Respect people who live and work in the countryside.

  Respect other visitors and let them have a momentous experience as well.
 Allow the sound of nature to prevail, not your noise or your radio.
 Be courteous; yield to others on a trail.
 Camp away from trails and other visitors.

