Physical Activity (PA) Before, During & After Colonial Era in Sierra Leone
Physical activity (PA) before, during and after colonial era in sierra leone can be reviewed in the form of recollecting through discovery the relevant literature in the domain of physical activity (PA) and physical education (PE). The researcher intends to highlight the relevant discoveries through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations and put forward the meaning, description, patterns, structures, developmental factors, determinant factors, health risk factors, health benefits, theoretical frame work and implementation of the term physical activity in the country (i.e. rural setting and urban centers) of sierra leone, with regards school going children & adolescents, and also with regards college or university and or tertiary institution students, youths, adults (both young men & women, abled and disabled) and the aged focusing purposely on the review of physical activity of walking exercises (a means of transportation activities, message delivery services and food finding activities), physical activity of running exercises (a means of ballgame sporting activities, message delivery services and track athletics activities), physical activity of jumping exercises (a means of physical education activities, field athletics events and training local forces), physical activity of throwing exercises (a means of food finding activities, field athletics training and physical training activities), physical activity of therapeutic measures (a means of massage and remedial measures, physical therapy activities, transportation of injured persons and physical training activities), physical activity of dancing exercises (a means of traditional dance and modern dance), physical activity of cleaning exercises (a means of personal hygiene practices, environmental hygiene practices and community hygiene practices) physical activity of physical education exercises (an education of the physical approach and an education through physical approach) as follows:
Physical Activity (PA) as a Means of Walking
Physical activity (PA) as discovered during the survey process in sierra leone through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations, serves as a mechanism that enables individual locomotion through walking exercises within short and long distances either mildly, moderately or vigorously with a coordinated effort by the body morphology, which is aided by the feet, trunk, knee, ankle, joints, all the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons purposely (a): as a means of transportation activities (TA) for most school going children and adolescents, before, during and after sierra leone colonial era in pre primary schools, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools, and also for students attending colleges, higher or tertiary institutions especially those schooling within the rural and remote rural settings of sierra leone that includes, the village level setting, the chiefdom level setting, the district level setting and the town level setting respectively to access facilities such as their learning and training institutions respectively, before the arrival of their colonial masters, during and also post colonial era in sierra leone. However, any physical activity expressed through human kinetics or movement(s) that is produced or trajected by the musculoskeletal systems when undertaken regularly for a prolonged period of time (PPT) from mild, moderate to vigorous physical activities (MMVPA) devoid of injuries to the tissues of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones, improves physiological and psychological health and wellness, can be classified as an education of the physical approach and through the physical approach for the holistic and general wellbeing of individuals.
Physical activity (PA) through walking exercises as discovered during the survey process in sierra leone through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations, can purposely serve again (b): as a means of message delivery services (MDS) from one locality to another locality by most times highly energetic and physically strong young men and women before, during and after the precolonial era in sierra leone under the following authorities i.e. the village head men for village to village level of message and communication delivery, the paramount chiefs for chiefdom to chiefdom level of message and communication delivery, the district chairmen for district to district level of message and communication delivery and the town council chairpersons or mayors for town to town level of message and communication delivery, so that communities far and near can continue to communicate and deliver messages to each other for effective coordination and for the complementation of service delivery amongst themselves in sierra leone especially in the rural and remote rural settings before the arrival of their colonial masters, during and even after colonial era. However, any physical activity expressed through human kinetics or movement(s) that is produced or trajected by the musculoskeletal systems when undertaken regularly for a prolonged period of time (PPT) from mild, moderate to vigorous physical activities (MMVPA) devoid of injuries to the tissues of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones, improves physiological and psychological health and wellness, can be classified as an education of the physical approach and through the physical approach for the holistic and general wellbeing of individuals.
Physical activity (PA) through walking exercises as discovered during the survey process in sierra leone through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations, can also purposely serve (c) as a means of food finding activities (FFA) in the near surrounding or faraway places in the bush or in the forest specifically in the rural and remote rural settings and communities (village community, chiefdom community, district community and town community respectively) for the aim of providing communal feeding and the provision of daily bread for not only the authorities (village heads, paramount chiefs, headmen, mayors, kings and queens) but also for themselves and their extended family and friends, which was very vital to their survival and wellbeing in their respective localities, environments and communities before, during and immediately after the colonial era in sierra leone. However, any physical activity expressed through human kinetics or movement(s) that is produced or trajected by the musculoskeletal systems when undertaken regularly for a prolonged period of time (PPT) from mild, moderate to vigorous physical activities (MMVPA) devoid of injuries to the tissues of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones, improves physiological and psychological health and wellness, can be classified as an education of the physical approach and through the physical approach for the holistic and general wellbeing of individuals.
Physical Activity (PA) as a Means of Running
Physical activity (PA) as discovered during the survey process in sierra leone through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations, serves a mechanism that enables individual locomotion through running exercises within short and long distances either mildly, moderately or vigorously with a coordinated effort by the body morphology, which is aided by the feet, trunk, the knee, ankle, joints, all the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons purposely as (a): a means to engage in some form of ballgame sporting activities (BSA) for most school going children and adolescents, before the arrival of colonial masters, during and after sierra leone colonial era in pre primary schools, primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools, and also for students attending colleges, higher or tertiary institutions especially those schooling within the rural and remote rural settings and also the remote urban settings and slums areas in sierra leone for them to have a sound mind in a healthy body after being in the classroom for a very long period of time doing arithmetic, reading and writing. However, any physical activity expressed through human kinetics or movement(s) that is produced or trajected by the musculoskeletal systems when undertaken regularly for a prolonged period of time (PPT) from mild, moderate to vigorous physical activities (MMVPA) devoid of injuries to the tissues of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones, improves physiological and psychological health and wellness, can be classified as an education of the physical approach and through the physical approach for the holistic and general wellbeing of individuals.
Physical activity (PA) through running exercises as discovered during the survey process in sierra leone through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations, can purposely serve (b): as a means of message delivery services (MDS) from one locality or community to another locality or community by highly energetic and well-built physique young men and women before, during and after the precolonial era in sierra leone under the following authorities i.e. the village head men for village to village level of message and communication delivery service, the paramount chiefs for chiefdom to chiefdom level of message and communication delivery service, the district chairmen for district to district level of message and communication delivery service and the town council chairpersons or mayors for town to town level of message and communication delivery service, so that communities and localities can continue to connect and communicate between and amongst themselves for effective coordination and for the complementation of service delivery in near and far reaching distances especially within the remote and rural poor community settings in sierra leone. However, any physical activity expressed through human kinetics or movement(s) that is produced or trajected by the musculoskeletal systems when undertaken regularly for a prolonged period of time (PPT) from mild, moderate to vigorous physical activities (MMVPA) devoid of injuries to the tissues of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones, improves physiological and psychological health and wellness, can be classified as an education of the physical approach and through the physical approach for the holistic and general wellbeing of individuals.
Physical activity (PA) through running exercise as discovered during the survey process in sierra leone through focus group discussions, individual & friendly conversation, brainstorming, personal observation, friendly charts, professional & personal opinions and frank deliberations, can purposely serve as (c): a means to engage in a track athletics training (TAT) either for the purpose of professionalism or amateurism with special reference to most school going children and adolescents, before the arrival of colonial masters, during and after sierra leone colonial era in pre primary school education, primary school education, junior high school education and senior high school education, and also for students attending colleges, higher or tertiary institutions especially those schooling within the rural and remote rural settings and also the urban and remote urban settings in sierra leone. However, any physical activity expressed through human kinetics or movement(s) that is produced or trajected by the musculoskeletal systems when undertaken regularly for a prolonged period of time (PPT) from mild, moderate to vigorous physical activities (MMVPA) devoid of injuries to the tissues of the muscles, ligaments, tendons and bones, improves physiological and psychological health and wellness, can be classified as an education of the physical and through the physical approach for the holistic and general wellbeing of individuals.
