• Recreation refers to activities pursued for enjoyment, relaxation, and leisure rather than as a means of livelihood. It encompasses a wide range of activities that individuals engage in during their free time to refresh themselves mentally, physically, and emotionally.
• The two main classifications of recreation are: Active Recreation & Passive Recreation
• Active Recreation: This involves physical activities that require

  participants to exert effort and energy. Examples include hiking, swimming, cycling, team sports, and jogging.
• Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.
• Passive Recreation: This involves leisure activities that are less

  physically demanding and often involve minimal physical exertion. Examples include reading, watching movies, gardening, bird watching, and visiting museums.
• Formula: Imperial System:

  BMI = 703 X Weight (in pounds)/

                        Height (in inches)
• Metric System: BMI = Weight (in kilograms)/

              Height (in meters)
• WHO CLASSIFICATION OF WEIGHT STATUS

• Common Injuries involved in Recreation: Sprain; Strain; Knee injuries; Fractures; Dislocation
• Sprain is an injury to a ligament, often caused by the stretching or tearing of the ligament due to sudden twisting or impact. Remedies typically include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE therapy), along with anti- inflammatory medication and physical therapy for severe cases.
• Strain refers to an injury to a muscle or tendon, usually resulting from overstretching or overuse of the muscle. Treatment involves rest, ice packs, compression, elevation, and gentle stretching exercises to promote healing and reduce pain.
• Knee injuries can vary widely, including ligament tears (e.g., ACL tears), meniscus tears, and patellar dislocation. Treatment may involve rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and, in severe cases, surgery to repair or reconstruct damaged structures.
• Fractures are breaks or cracks in bones, commonly caused by trauma such as falls, sports injuries, or motor vehicle accidents. Treatment usually involves immobilization with a cast or splint, pain management, and sometimes surgical intervention for severe fractures to realign and stabilize the bone for proper healing.
• Dislocation occurs when the bones in a joint are forced out of their normal position, often due to trauma or excessive force. Treatment involves immediate medical attention to relocate the joint back into place (reduction), followed by immobilization, pain management, and rehabilitation exercises to restore strength and stability.
• Cheerdance is from the words, cheer and dance. To cheer is to shout out words or phrases that may help motivate and boost the morale of a playing team and perform during a game. Dance, on the other hand, is a physical activity where one expresses emotions or gestures while performing bodily movements usually in time with rhythm.
