• Physical Education - an integral part of educational program designed to promote the optimum development of the individual physical, socially, emotionally, and mentally through total body movement in the performance of properly selected physical activities.
• Physical Fitness - alludes to the capacity of your body frameworks to cooperate effectively to permit you to be sound and perform exercises of day by day living.
• Fitness - Fitness is defined as a condition in which an individual has enough energy to avoid fatigue and enjoy life.
• Health Related components 


  is the ability to become and stay physically healthy.

  is focus on factors that promote optimum health and prevent the onset of disease and problems associated with inactivity.
• Health Related Components

  • Body composition
  • Cardiorespiratory Endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Muscular Endurance
  • Muscular Strength
• Body Composition


  is the final component of health-related physical fitness. Because high levels of fat mass are associated with negative health outcomes, such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes, attaining and maintaining a healthy body composition is a goal of just about all regular exercise routines.
• BMI Formula

  weight(kg))/height(m^2)
• Cardiorespiratory Endurance


  Ability of body to efficiently and effectively intake oxygen and deliver it to your body's tissues by way of the heart, lungs, arteries, vessels, and veins.
• Flexibility


  Refers to the ability of joints to move through unrestricted range of motion you. Flexibility is important at any age. It plays a role in unhindered movement and can affect your balance, coordination, and agility. Maintaining or improving a full range of motion through your major joints can reduce the likelihood of injury and improve athletic performance.
• MUSCULAR ENDURANCE 


  The ability of a particular muscle group to exert force, continuously and repetitively, over a period of time.
• MUSCULAR STRENGTH


  Refers to the amount of force a particular muscle group can produce in one, all-out effort. Refers to your ability to move and lift objects. It’s measured by how much force you can exert and how much weight you can lift for a short period of time.
• SKILL RELATED COMPONENTS 


  The ability to perform during games and sports, also called performance fitness. Skill related components are more relevant to certain athletes.
• AGILITY


  The ability to move quickly and to easily change direction.
• BALANCE


  The ability of the body position to remain upright. It deals with proprioception, or knowing where your body is in space, and being able to adjust your position as your center of gravity changes during movement(State of equilibrium).
• Coordination


  The ability to execute smooth, accurate, controlled motor responses (optimal interaction of muscle function). It is characterized by appropriate speed, distance, direction, timing, and muscular tension.
• Power


  Combination of speed and strength.

  The ability to exert a maximal force in as short a time as possible, as in accelerating, jumping, and throwing implements.
• Reaction Time


  Refers to how quickly you can respond to an external stimulus. Hinges heavily on your mind-body connection.
• Speed


  refers to the distance traveled per unit of time. It is how fast an object is moving. It doesn't have a direction.

• Traditional exercise Phase

  Phase 1: Warm-up

  Phase 2: Conditioning

  Phase 3: Cool-down
• Evolving Exercise Phases

  Phase 1: Warm-up

  Phase 2: Conditioning

  Phase 3: Cool-down

  Phase 4: Stretching
• Modern Exercise Phases

  Phase 1: Warm-up

  Phase 2: Dynamic Stretching

  Phase 3: Conditioning

  Phase 4: Cool-down

  Phase 5: Static Stretching
• Warm-up

  it allows your body to adjust gradually to the increased demand on your heart, muscles, breathing, and circulation. Warmups also increase your body temperature, heart rate, range of motion and protects against injury and muscle soreness.
• Main Exercise

  
  

  This is the most intense part of your workout, where you perform the main activity or exercise that you have planned. This could be anything from weight lifting to running to playing a sport. The main exercise phase is designed to challenge your body and push you to your limits, in order to achieve the desired fitness results. The duration and intensity of this phase will depend on your fitness level, goals and the type of exercise you are doing.
• Cool-down

  It involves slowly bringing your heart rate and breathing back to normal levels and allowing your muscles to gradually return to their resting state.
• Static stretching 


  Involves extending specific muscles and holding the position.
• Dynamic stretching


  involve moving rather than holding a position. A walking lunge, for example, is a dynamic stretch.
• Flexion - refers to a movement that decreases the angle between two body parts.
• Extension - refers to a movement that increases the angle between two body parts.
• Abduction - is a movement away from the midline – just as abducting someone is to take them away.
• Adduction - is a movement towards the midline.
• Medial rotation - is a rotational movement towards the midline. It is sometimes referred to as internal rotation.
• Lateral rotation - is a rotating movement away from the midline. This is in the opposite direction to the movements described above
• Elevation - refers to movement in a superior direction
• Depression - refers to movement in an inferior direction.
• Pronation - Keeping the elbow and shoulder still, flip your hand onto its front, palm down.
•  Dorsiflexion - refers to flexion at the ankle, so that the foot points more superiorly.
• Supination - With your hand resting on a table in front of you, and keeping your shoulder and elbow still, turn your hand onto its back, palm up.
• Plantarflexion - refers extension at the ankle, so that the foot points inferiorly.
