Sports
▪ Recreational sports are those activities where the primary
purpose of the activity is participation, with the related
goals of improved physical fitness, fun, and social
involvement often prominent. Recreational sports are
usually perceived as being less stressful, both physically
and mentally, on the participants.
▪ There are lower expectations regarding both performance
and commitment to the sport in the recreational sphere. In
theory, there is a clear demarcation between purely

▪ Recreational through
Adventure
▪ Outdoor recreation or outdoor activity refers to recreation
engaged in out of doors, most commonly in natural
settings. The activities that encompass outdoor recreation
vary depending on the physical environmental they are
being carried out in.
▪ These activities can include fishing, hunting, backpacking,
and horseback riding — and can be completed individually
or collectively. Outdoor recreation is a broad concept that
encompasses a varying range of activities and landscapes.
▪ Recreational through
Amusement
▪ It includes the operation of a variety of attractions, such as
mechanical rides, water rides, games, shows, theme
exhibits and picnic grounds. Description: This group
excludes sports activities and dramatic arts, music and
other arts and entertainment.
▪ Club to recreate
▪ Recreational Club means an area devoted to facilities and
equipment for recreational purposes, swimming pools, tennis
courts, playgrounds, community clubhouses, and other similar uses
maintained by a nonprofit organization whose membership is
limited to the residents within the area in which it is located;
provided, that membership shall not be denied to residents of the
area based solely on race, creed or color.
▪ River Rafting
▪ Rafting and whitewater rafting are recreational outdoor
activities which use an inflatable raft to navigate a river or
other body of water. This is often done on whitewater or
different degrees of rough water. Dealing with risk is often
a part of the experience.
▪ Rafting on certain sections of rivers is considered an
extreme sport and can be fatal, while other sections are not
so extreme or difficult. Rafting is also a competitive sport
practiced around the world which culminates in a world
rafting championship event between the participating
nations. The International Rafting Federation, often
referred to as the IRF, is the worldwide body which
oversees all aspects of the sport
▪ Rock climbing
▪ Rock climbing is the sport of scaling vertical or near-
vertical cliffs using your hands and feet. Sometimes you
want to get to the top of the cliffs; other times, you only
need to reach a set of ‘anchors’ that signify the end of the
‘route’ that you’re on. The goal isn’t always the top; it’s to
climb an established line of holds that someone else has
already climbed.
▪ Mountaineering
▪ Mountaineering is the technical form of mountain
climbing, where you try to get to the top of hard-to-summit
mountains using a variety of skills. It often involves hiking
up steep terrain, dealing with snow and ice, and crossing
large glaciers.
▪ Skydiving
▪ Skydiving is parachuting from an airplane for fun.
Skydiving can be done individually and with groups of
people. Training is required. Unlike most paratroopers,
skydivers often wait until they are low, before opening the
parachute. The jump can also be made from a helicopter or
a balloon that is high enough in the sky. Skydiving can be
an exciting sport.
▪ Paragliding
▪ Paragliding is the recreational and competitive adventure
sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-
launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure.
The pilot sits in a harness or lies supine in a cocoon-like
'speed bag' suspended below a fabric wing.
▪ Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the
pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and
the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.
Despite not using an engine, paraglider flights can last
many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometers.
▪ Scuba diving
▪ Scuba diving is a type of underwater diving whereby
divers use breathing equipment that is completely
independent of a surface air supply. The name "scuba", an
acronym for "Self-Contained Underwater Breathing
Apparatus", was coined by Christian J. Lambertsen in a
patent submitted in 1952.
▪ Scuba divers carry their own source of breathing gas,
usually compressed air, affording them greater
independence and movement than surface-supplied divers,
and more time underwater than free divers. Although the
use of compressed air is common, a gas blend with a
higher oxygen content,
▪ known as enriched air or nitrox, has become popular due to
the reduced nitrogen intake during, long, and/or repetitive
dives. Also, breathing gas diluted with helium may be used
to reduce the likelihood and effects of nitrogen narcosis
during deeper dives.
▪ Skiing
▪ Skiing is the use of skis to glide on snow. Variations of
purpose include basic transport, a recreational activity, or a
competitive winter sport. Many types of competitive skiing
events are recognized by the International Olympic
Committee (IOC), and the International Ski Federation
(FIS).
▪ Sleighing
▪ Sledding, sledging or sleighing is a winter sport typically
carried out in a prone or seated position on a vehicle
generically known as a sled (North American), a sledge
(British), or a sleigh. It is the basis of three Olympic
sports: luge, skeleton and bobsledding. When practiced on
sand, it is known as a form of sandboarding.
▪Luge
▪ Skeleton
▪ Bobsledding
▪Surfing
▪ Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a
surfer (or two in tandem surfing), uses a board to ride on the
forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which
usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for
surfing are primarily found on ocean shores, but can also be
found in standing waves in the open ocean, in lakes, in rivers
in the form of a tidal bore, or in wave pools.
▪
▪ The term surfing refers to a person riding a wave using a
board, regardless of the stance.
▪ Wildlife Surveys
▪ Wildlife tourism is an element of many nations' travel industry
centered around observation and interaction with local animal and
plant life in their natural habitats. While it can include eco- and
animal-friendly tourism, safari hunting and similar high-
intervention activities also fall under the umbrella of either by
actively (e.g. hunting/collection) or passively (e.g.
watching/photography) wildlife tourism. Wildlife tourism, in its
simplest sense, is interacting with wild animals in their natural
habitat
▪ Wildlife conservation
▪ Wildlife conservation refers to the practice of protecting
wild species and their habitats in order to maintain healthy
wildlife species or populations and to restore, protect or
enhance natural ecosystems. Major threats to wildlife
include habitat destruction, degradation, fragmentation,
overexploitation, poaching, pollution and climate
change.
▪ A safari is an overland journey to hunt or (in more recent
times) observe wild animals, especially in eastern or
southern Africa. The so-called "Big Five" game animals of
Africa – lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape
buffalo – particularly form an important part of the safari
market, both for wildlife viewing and big-game hunting.
▪ The Swahili word safari means "journey", originally from
the Arabic noun سفر, safar, meaning "journey","travel",
"trip", or "tour"; the verb for "to travel" in Swahili is
kusafiri.
