 What’s In

In the previous lesson, you have learned about proper etiquette and safety in
the use of facilities and equipment.

As you become more involved in physical activities, you can elevate your
participation by joining events that promote health and fitness as well as address
health issues like diabetes, obesity, nutrition, smoking, and many more. By joining
events like these, you can learn more about these health concerns, what is being
done to handle these concerns, and at the same time, you also get to increase your
physical activity.

The usual objective of the organizers of these events is to raise funds for
awareness about these health issues. Depending on their advocacy, events may
range from fun-filled activities that can engage entire families, to more physically
demanding ones. Your participation in these events not only increases your activity
but also gives you an advocacy to work on. Your choice would depend on your
interests and preferences.

What’s New

Activity 1: Name Them!

Directions: List as many categories of health-and fitness-related events as
you can. Under these categories, name some local and national events
related to it.

What Is It

Read to Understand

Fun Runs

These are usually 1-day events that focus on running various distances (i.e.,
3k. 5k, 10k, or longer). They cater to a wide variety of participants – competitive or
recreational runners, and even families. Whether you are a recreational or
competitive runner, fun runs are good ways to elevate participation in physical
activities since some fun runs are held in different surfaces (e.g. concrete, off-road,
beach) and with different challenges posed on runners like an uphill run.
Other than the fitness benefits you would get from joining fun runs, you also
get to help out certain causes. Some organizations or associations, and companies
organize fun runs as one of their cause-oriented events.

Other benefits of joining fun runs are meeting new friends, enjoying the
outdoors, and bringing home participant race kits. Race kits, which usually include
a race bib or shirt and other items from sponsors, are good incentives for your
effort and you can get more freebies and giveaways depending on the event
sponsors.

You can also use your participation in fun runs as a gauge of your physical
fitness by trying to beat your own time, or setting new records, or even aiming to
finish among the top participants. If you do so, it is best that you prepare properly
for fun runs and scout for more opportunities to race.

Dance events, competitions, or marathons

These events focus on dance as the main activity, whether as competition

(e.g., streetdance, dancesport) or as recreation (e.g. aerobic dance marathons,
zumba events). These may last for hours depending on the event and variety of
dances, intensity levels, and music usually used, thus, elevating participation.

Other than fitness benefits, you can get a lot out from joining dance
competitions and marathons. If events are competition-based, usually cash prizes,
trophies, and freebies are the main incentives, along with bragging rights. However,
if the events are recreation-type, participant kits (e.g. even shirt, sponsor freebies)
are the usual takeaway. However, the enjoyment and fun of dancing are the main
attraction in these types of events.

Many people are getting into exercising because of the popularity of some
aerobic forms of exercises particularly zumba. The attractiveness of physical
activities like zumba comes from the lively music and instructors, colourful vibe,
and relatively easy to follow dance routines. However, the most crucial effect that
popular exercises like zumba have is the encouragement and support to participate
in exercise, which in effect, makes people more aware of their health and fitness.
That is why some groups and organizations choose zumba at their event to promote
awareness for their various causes, However, you can also engage in other aerobic
exercises in the form of dances such as social dance, streetdance, etc.

Sports tournaments

These are the most common type of health-and fitness related organized
events. They mainly focus on sports in a tournament type of play where individual
players and/or teams compete. These are usually organized for school teams.
However, sports associations, cause-oriented groups, organizations, brands, and
companies also hold sports tournaments for various purposes, levels, and sports.

It may not be explicit that health and fitness are the main highlights when
joining such events because the nature of such events is usually competitive.
Athletes and competitors treat their health and fitness seriously because of this
same nature. That is why they train not only for their sports skills but also for their
conditioning. Through sport tournaments, athletes and competitors are actually
good role models of health and fitness.

You can join sports tournaments of varying levels of competition and

different sports. During summer, local government units hold sports leagues
especially for basketball and volleyball, teams usually represent different
barangays, sitios, purok, or subdivisions. Some LGUs also hold sports programs or
sports clinics for the youth and other individuals. The Sangguniang Kabataan (SK),
the youth leaders of the community, commonly organize events like these.

In school, intramurals are the common sports competitions for students.

Different grade levels compete against each other in different sports. Games are
usually played after classes where semi-finals and championship games are usually
the highlights. Grade levels are represented by team colors and are called by their
common grade level labels.

You can also try out for your school’s varsity teams. They represent your
school in different sports competitions which usually include district level
competitions. When successful, teams move to higher level competitions that could
eventually lead to Palarong Pambansa. This is organized by the Department of
Education which is the national competition for students. Here, student athletes
from all over the Philippines compete in different sports representing their
respective regions. This is held in one particular region where events are held in
different venues or locations.

You can also join sports tournaments organized by other institutions. Sports
outlets, product brands, and companies organize sports tournaments. They usually
advertise to invite participants so you might want to look for tournaments in sports
that you like.

Summer sports clinics

These are short-course sports programs catering to school children. Sports

clinics are offered by schools and product brands when school is over and students
have their summer break. The usual sports offered include basketball, taekwondo,
swimming, gymnastics, football, volleyball, and others. These last for several
sessions spanning days or weeks, and usually culminate with an exhibition
tournament.
Outdoor recreation events like biking events, triathlon, marathons, football
events, etc.

These are specialized events that target sports enthusiasts and athletes.
These are held in specialized venues and locations, and usually have different
categories for different levels of participants. Depending on the event, categories
such as beginner, intermediate, and advanced are formed or opened.

When you join such events, you get to experience recreation-level of

participation to higher level of competition. You also get to experience a different
atmosphere because of the ambiance in such events. Sponsors’ booths and stalls
are usually set up along with other related set ups.

Talks, seminars, or conferences

These are usually lecture-based events that cover topics discussed with an
audience. Some events are held for different lengths and some include workshops
or hands on training. Some also are held with different formats like classroom-type
lecture, panel discussions, parallel sessions, and the like. Credible resource
persons and speakers are invited to speak so that reliable information are shared
and learned.

Cause-oriented associations, product brands, companies, professional

organizations, among others hold such events for various purposes, some to
increase awareness, promote various causes and to inform.

It would be beneficial for you to attend such events for you to learn more
things about health and fitness, become more aware of issues
And concerns regarding health and fitness, and have a clearer
understanding of these things.

School, club, community, or company events

These are events that are organized by schools, clubs, communities, and
companies for specific purposes. These cover a wide range of activities like the ones
mentioned above. Schools and companies commonly hold events to coincide with
special dates and occasions. Events are usually dependent on themes and duration
is also relative to the celebration.

Aside from summer sports clinics, some communities also offer recreation
programs within the year to encourage an active lifestyle.
