HOW RECREATION CAN SUPPORT
COMMUNITIES?

• Recreation opportunities and parks are essential for


strengthening and maintaining a healthy community.
• Recreation and park facilities help promote social bonds
by uniting families, encouraging cultural sensitivity, and
supporting seniors and individuals with disabilities.
IMPORTANCE AND BENEFITS OF
RECREATION
• Develops Personal
• Physical Health.
• Self Esteem and Self Reliance.
• Creativity and Sense of Accomplishment.
• Creates more Fun.
• Enhances Pleasure.
• Reduces Stress.
• Increases Life Satisfaction.
WHAT DOES ‘IMPACT’ MEAN?
• In exercise terminology, IMPACT refers to the force
exerted onto bones and joints by a particular physical
activity.
• Our bodies do benefit from being subjected to high
impact activities to an extent: much like our muscles need
regular use and exercise to stay strong, so do our bones.
LOW IMPACT EXERCISE
• Low impact exercises refer to those activities or
movements that do not involve a significant amount
of force being exerted on joints.
 Usually both feet, or at least one foot, stay in contact with
the ground most of the time, or the whole body is supported.
EXAMPLES OF LOW IMPACT EXERCISES
INCLUDE:
• Swimming
• Yoga
• Cycling
• Walking
• Gardening
BENEFITS LOW IMPACT EXERCISE
• High impact workouts or physical activity improve
cardiovascular fitness while also jolting the skeleton.
 Over time, performing too much high impact exercise on a regular
basis can lead to increased wear and tear on joints, potentially making
them more susceptible to injuries and exacerbating conditions like
arthritis; so it’s generally advisable not to overdo it.
HIGH IMPACT EXERCISE
• High impact exercises refer to those activities or
movements that do not involve a significant amount
of force being exerted on joints.
 Both feet might be off the ground during the range of
motion, essentially resulting in our body weight coming down
on our bones and joints when we land.
EXAMPLES OF HIGH IMPACT EXERCISES
INCLUDE:
• Football
• Rugby
• Running
• Gymnastics
• Tennis
BENEFITS HIGH IMPACT EXERCISE
• Low impact exercise can be just as beneficial to
heart health as high impact activities.
 These types of exercise might be particularly
suitable for older persons, those who are recovering
from an injury, or those who have not taken part in
exercise activities for a while.
