• OLFU MISSION


  Is dedicated to the improvement of man as man through the holistic formation of individuals Imbued with knowledge, skills, and virtues
• Physical Fitness Test


  A set of measures designed to determine one's level of physical fitness
• Body Composition


  The body's relative amount of fat to free mass
• Weight


  The heaviness or lightness of a person
• Height


  The distance between the feet on the floor to the top (vertex) of the head in the standing position
• Sit and Reach


  A common measure of flexibility and specifically measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles
• Wells and Dillon


  Sit reach was described in 1952 by
• Hexagonal Agility Test


  The test involves quickly jumping in and out of a hexagon shape
• 3 Minute Step Test


  It measures your aerobic (cardiovascular) fitness level based on how quickly your heart rate returns to normal after exercise
• Ruler Drop Test


  This test uses the known properties of gravity to determine how long it takes a person to respond to the dropping of an object by measuring how far the object can falls before being caught
• Plank Test


  Also known as the Prone Bridge Test
• Waist and Hip Ratio (WHR)


  This test has been shown to be related to the risk of coronary heart disease
• Alternate-Hand Wall Toss Test


  An example of coordination test
• Standing Stork Test


  It requires the person to stand on one leg for as long as possible
• Vertical Jump Test


  A test of lower body power
• Relay


  It measures speed in this type of activity
• Physical Education

  Stated in the 1987 Philippine Constitution Article 14 Section 19 that all students from primary, secondary and tertiary to enhance one's skills in sports, to be physically fit and to be alert citizenry
• Push-up


  It measures one's strength through muscle control
• PATHFIT


  Physical Activity towards Health and Fitness
• Types of Stretching

  • Ballistic
  • Dynamic
  • Active
  • Passive
  • Static
  • Isometric
  • Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
• Components of Health-Related Fitness

  • Body Composition
  • Flexibility
  • Cardiovascular Endurance
  • Muscular Strength
  • Muscular Endurance
  • HIIT / TABATA
• Components of Skill-Related Fitness

• Components of Physical Fitness

  • Body Composition / Cardiovascular Endurance / Flexibility
  • Muscular Strength /Muscular Endurance / HIIT / TABATA
• Fundamental Movement Skills


  • Jumping or Leaping
  • Running
  • Catching
  • Throwing
  • Dodging
• Ballistic Stretching


  Uses the momentum of a moving body or a limb in an attempt to force it beyond its normal range of motion. This is stretching, or "warming up".
• Ballistic Stretching Examples

  • Ballistic pancake
  • Ballistic toe touch
  • Ballistic core twist
  • Ballistic single leg stretch
  • Ballistic standing offset toe touch
  • Ballistic runner stretch
  • Ballistic hurdle stretch with twist
• Dynamic Stretching


  Involves moving parts of your body and gradually increasing reach, speed of movement, or both. It improves dynamic flexibility.
• Active Stretching


  Also referred to as static-active stretching. Where you assume a position and hold it there with no assistance. It increases active flexibility and strengthens the agonistic muscles.
• Passive Stretching


  Also referred to as relaxed stretching and static-passive stretching. Where you assume a position and hold it with some other part of your body, or with the assistance of a partner. Relaxed stretching is also very good for "cooling down" after a workout.
• Passive Stretching Examples

  • Supine single leg stretch
  • Standing quadriceps stretch
  • Quadriceps stretch
  • Hamstring Stretch
  • Reclined Butterfly Stretch
• Static Stretching


  Stretching a muscle to its farthest point and then maintaining or holding that position.
• Isometric Stretching


  A type of static stretching. Involves the resistance of muscle groups through isometric contractions. One of the fastest ways to develop increased static-passive flexibility. More effective than either passive or active stretching alone.
• PNF Stretching


  Currently the fastest and most effective way known to increase static-passive flexibility. Technique of combining passive and isometric stretching in order to achieve maximum static flexibility.
• Locomotor


  Movements involve moving the body through space from one location to another.
• Non-Locomotor


  Body's movement that does not involve movement from one space to another.
• Non-Locomotor Examples

  • Pulling
  • Bending
  • Twisting
  • Pushing
  • Stretching
  • Flexing, lifting, raising, turning, swaying
• Jumping or Leaping


  A form of locomotion or movement in which an organism or non-living mechanical system propels itself through the air along a ballistic trajectory
• Running


  A method of terrestrial locomotion by which humans and other animals move rapidly on foot. Running is a gait with an aerial phase in which all feet are above the ground.
• Catching


  The ability to gain control of a moving object with one or two hands
