LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEETS IN PEH 1 – WEEK 3
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 these events, you can learn more
about these health concerns, what is being done to handle them—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. 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. Here are some viable options for you.
1. 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. Benefits of joining fun runs include 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. You can even get additional
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, setting new records, or
even aiming to finish among the top participants.

2. 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. 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, colorful 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.
3. 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. They are usually organized for school teams [(e.g. University Athletic Association of
the Philippines (UAAP)]. 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. In school,
intramurals are the common sports competitions for students. Different grade or year levels
compete against each other in different sports. 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. You can also join sports tournaments organized by other
institutions. Sports outlets, product brands, and companies organize sports tournaments.
5. Outdoor recreation events like cycling events, triathlon, marathons, and football
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. When you join such events, you get to experience recreation-level of
participation to a 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.

6. Talks, seminars, or conferences
These are usually lecture-based events that cover topics discussed with an audience. Some
events are held for different lengths (i.e., half-day, 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, weeklong) 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 is shared and learned.
It would be beneficial for you to attend such events so you could learn more things about
health and fitness, become more aware of related issues and concerns, and have a clearer
understanding of these things.
