Executive Summary :-
Outdoor recreation or outdoor activities are leisure pursuits engaged in
outside, especially in (but not limited to) natural or semi-natural settings out
of town. It includes
adventure,racing, backpacking, bicycling, camping, canoeing, caving, fishing
, hiking,horseback,riding, hunting, kayaking, mountaineering, mushing, phot
ography, adventure park, rock climbing, running, sailing, skiing, and surfing.
Outdoor recreation may also refer to a team sport game or practice held in
an outdoor setting. Physical activity both indoors and outdoors is important
for child to develop properly. When children’s are active, it gives them the
opportunity to learn, grow and explore their environment. Every time a child
kicks, runs, rolls, stretches or turns, they are learning. There is a whole world
to be explored by your child. Making children’s spend too much time in
enclosed spaces such as playpens, cribs or strollers can hinder their
development and cheat them out of the opportunity to learn. Letting your
little one spend time outdoors opens their world to a wide variety of sensory
experiences. The two primary purposes for outdoor activities are beneficial
use and pleasurable appreciation. The outdoors as a physical or social
setting may meet the needs of physical health, self-sufficiency, risk-taking,
the building of social ties (including team building) and the needs of
achievement (such as practicing, enhancing and challenging skills, testing
stamina and endurance, and seeking adventure or excitement).

DATA ANALYSIS
1. Editing-
The process includes the review of the data to ensure maximum accuracy and unambiguity.
Careful editing in the early process of data collection will be subject to misunderstanding of
instructions, errors in recording and other problems at a stage when it is still possible to
eliminate them from the later stages of the study.
2. Coding –
The process includes careful interpretation and good judgment of the data to ensure that the
meaning of the responses and the meaning of the category are consistently and uniformly
matched.
To Aid in the process of Data Analysis we propose to use the following statistical soft-wares:
i. SPSS
