Lesson 1

• Physical Fitness

  • A combination of health fitness and body fitness.
• Health Fitness

  • refers to your body’s ability to fight off diseases.
• Body Fitness

  • refers to the ability to do strenuous physical or sports activities without getting tired easily.
• Health-related Fitness

  • This is primarily associated with disease prevention and functional health.
• Health-related Fitness

  1. Body Composition
  2. Cardiovascular Endurance
  3. Flexibility
  4. Muscular Endurance
  5. Muscular Strength
• Body Composition

  • combination of all the tissues that make up the body such as bones, muscles, organs, and body fat.
  • the percentage of fat, bone, water, and muscle in the human body. (ratio of lean tissue to fat tissues in the body).
• Cardiovascular Endurance

  • ability of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and blood to work efficiently and to supply the body with oxygen.
  • this allows the body to endure physical movement for a period of time.
• Flexibility

  • ability to use your joints fully through a wide range of motion.
• Muscular Endurance

  • ability to use the muscle for a long period of time without tiring.
  • The ability of the muscles to continue to perform without fatigue.
• Muscular Strength

  • the maximum amount of force a muscle can exert in a single effort.
  • The muscles support the skeleton, enabling movement to occur and the strength to support the body while standing up.
• Skill-related Fitness

  1. Agility
  2. Balance
  3. Coordination
  4. Power
  5. Reaction Time
  6. Speed
• Agility

  • ability to change body positions quickly and keep the body under control when moving.
• Balance

  • ability to keep the body in a steady position while standing and moving.
• COORDINATION - ability of the body parts to work together when you perform an activity.
• POWER - ability to combine strength with speed while moving.
• REACTION TIME - the ability to move quickly once a signal starts moving is received.
• SPEED - ability to move all or part of a body quickly.
• Physical Activity and Exercise

  • Activities done by the skeletal muscles that utilize the energy is called Physical Activity.
  • Activities you are doing at home or in school are Physical Activity.
  • It is classified into 4 domains: occupational, domestic, transportation, and leisure time.
• Occupational Physical Activity

  • activities you do at your workplace.
• DOMESTIC - the activities you do at home
• TRANSPORTATION - activities that involve travelling, riding a jeepney, tricycle, motorcycle, or bike
• LEISURE TIME - activities you do during recreational activities. Playing, swimming, hiking, or craft making.
• Exercise

  • is the “planned, structured, repetitive bodily movements that someone engages in to improve or maintain physical fitness or health.
• Aerobic

  • also called endurance activities which are physical activities in which people rhythmically move their large muscles for a sustained period.
  • activities that use aerobic metabolism (oxygen is a vital factor)
  • used to develop cardiovascular fitness.
• Muscle-strengthening Activity

  • This includes resistance training and lifting weights that cause the body’s muscles to work or hold against an applied force or weight.
  • Weightlifting, Body Weight Exercise, Push-ups, Pull-ups, Sit-ups.
• Bone-strengthening Activity

  • also called weight-bearing or loading activity.
  • produces a force on the bones that promotes bone growth and strength.
  • Hopping, Skipping, Jumping, Jumping Rope, Running, Walking Sports
• Barriers to Physical Activities

  • Lack of time
  • Social support
  • Lack of energy
  • Lack of motivation
  • Fear of Injury
  • Lack of skill
  • High costs
  • Lack of facilities
  • Weather conditions
• Eating Habits

  • refers to why and how people eat, which food they eat, and with whom they eat, as well as the ways people obtain, store, use, and discard food.
