Foundations of Leisure Activity

Order Description

This subject explores leisure and recreational activity in relation to the human body and its physical environment. It also covers alterations in anatomy and

physiology related to common health problems in diverse populations. Students will obtain a practical understanding of human anatomy and physiology and apply this

knowledge to the basis of leisure activity. Emphasis will be placed upon adapting physical activities encountered in leisure to the abilities and limitations of

specific groups of people, most notably people with diverse disabilities and/or chronic illness, taking into account the physical, mental, emotional, developmental and

social backgrounds of the participants. The health benefits of leisure activity will also be assessed.

Instructions

You are to construct a paper which incorporates a review of literature using at least 10 references, and which addresses the following criteria.

Select a specific population of people for whom leisure planning and adaptation will enhance participation in a range of beneficial leisure activities. Provide a

background outlining major leisure and health features pertaining to this group. (What makes them a ‘group’?)
Outline the physical, social, emotional and environmental factors influencing participation of group members in leisure activities.
Outline major alterations in anatomy and physiology and/or mental health issues specific to this group. Describe the common illnesses or diseases experienced by group

members emphasizing in detail the physical changes (altered physiology = pathophysiology), as well as noting mental and emotional issues and how these influence

participation in everyday experiences as well as leisure activities. Describe changes at the cellular /tissue/organ level for at least 3 systems.
Identify leisure activities which can be of benefit especially physically, but also emotionally and socially. Relate benefits of these leisure activities to specific

aspects of anatomy and physiology learned throughout Modules 1 & 2. Indicate adaptations which will optimise leisure participation (next dot point).
Describe specific adaptations / considerations you would implement to enable and encourage leisure participation. Break down the specifics of the leisure activity as

far as necessary in order to provide the necessary information for analysing the effects of the leisure activity upon anatomical and physiological aspects of the

individual.

This assignment is designed to allow you to research a specific population that you are interested in providing leisure programs for. You will then be able to analyse

the benefits of the leisure activities to your chosen specific population, relating back to the anatomy and physiology addressed in the text.

This assignment is designed to assess the following learning outcomes through research into a population group who experience common (disabling) conditions or

illnesses. All modules provide information which supports these objectives.

– be able to demonstrate understanding of alterations in anatomy and physiology related to common health problems in diverse populations;
– be able to demonstrate understanding of the human body in relation to activities and movement;
– be able to apply leisure activities for diverse populations as they relate to anatomy and physiology;
– be able to demonstrate an understanding of the physical effects of specific movements during leisure activity upon participants with physical vulnerabilities
– be able to adapt leisure activities and programs for diverse populations allowing for consideration for physical status, including cardiovascular and respiratory

systems;
