Course Introduction Topic 1
Before we start discussing concepts related to PE 103 Movement Enhancement, we first need to
understand why college students, after finishing PE courses in the Elementary, Junior High School, and
Senior High School, are still required to take PE courses in college.
The very basis of the inclusion of PE from Elementary to the College level is Article XIV Section
19 of the Philippine Constitution.
ARTICLE XIV
EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ARTS, CULTURE AND SPORTS EDUCATION
SPORTS
Section 19. (1) The State shall promote physical education and encourage sports programs,
league competitions, and amateur sports, including training for international competitions, to
foster self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert
citizenry.
(2) All educational institutions shall undertake regular sports activities throughout the country in
cooperation with athletic clubs and other sectors.
https://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/constitutions/the-1987-constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines/the-1987-
constitution-of-the-republic-of-the-philippines-article-xiv/
It is therefore the hope of every educational institution that students get the maximum benefit
from their participation in their PE classes, not just to to complete and pass because these are required
courses for graduation, but because they understand the lifelong benefits of keeping an active lifestyle
throughout an individual’s lifetime.

Remember this…
Physical Education plays an integral role in the Education system for reasons that it promotes
a holistic approach to the development of a human being encompassing all aspects such as the
physical, mental, social and even emotional. It is therefore important to note how education of
the physical nature in relation to knowledge and understanding of physical activity, exercise,
physical training and physical fitness can contribute to the life of an individual.

Using your moodle account, please answer the following questions as truthfully as possible. This will
allow the instructor to determine whether you are capable of performing all the practical activities that are
presented in this handout, or will need an assistance or certification from a medical doctor.
For most people physical activity should not pose any problem or hazard. PAR-Q has been designed to
identify the small number of adults for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or those who
should have medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them.
Common sense is your best guide in answering these few questions. Please read them carefully and check
the yes or no opposite the question if it applies to you
YES NO
if you have not recently done so, consult with your personal physician by telephone or in person before
increasing your physical activity and/or taking a fitness test. DO NOT FORGET to inform your
instructor of the items that you answered YES. This is to ensure that you will not be asked to perform
activities that you are not allowed to do so.
If you answered PAR-Q accurately, you have reasonable assurance of your present suitability for an
exercise test.

FITNESS ASSESSMENT
Prior to actual instruction, it is best to first assess your knowledge on the basic concepts
of fitness where Movement Enhancement is anchored on.
ACTIVITY 1: PRE-ASSESSMENT : This is to check your level of knowledge on concepts that are
related to fitness and exercise. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MOODLE ACCOUNT TO HAVE ACCESS
IN ANSWERING THIS ACTIVITY.
Physical Education - an integral part of general education designed to promote the optimum
development of the individual physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally through total body
movement in the performance of properly selected physical activities.
Physical Activity – a body movement that is produced by the contraction of skeletal muscles and that
substantially increases energy expenditure.
Exercise – a type of physical activity that requires planned, structured, and repetitive bodily movements
to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness.
Physical Fitness – the ability of an individual to perform one’s daily task with vigor and alertness without
undue fatigue, with reserve energy to attend to other tasks, with readiness to meet unforeseen
emergencies, and with enough energy for leisure time activities.
Warm-up – the preparation of the body physically and mentally for the conditioning bout. This means
that the heart, lungs, and muscles are being set for an increased workload, an activity that is of higher
intensity and which will last for about 5-15 minutes enough to produce slight sweat indicating that the
body is ready for the activity/exercise proper. This also means lesser chances of injury occurrences while
exercising.
Cool Down – this is the period when the body tries to return to its normal or resting state. This may be the
latter phase of the conditioning bout but done at a lower intensity level followed by light stretching
exercises. This may take about 5-15 minutes, enough time for the body to prevent muscle soreness and
stiffness, and blood pooling that may result to a person’s feeling of dizziness and faintness. This guide
that will indicate that cooling down has served its purpose is if the heart rate is approximately 100-110
bpm or even less.

Benefits of Exercise and Problems of Topic 3
Inactivity
On Benefits of Exercise
There is no single individual currently alive, or a research work, that would say that exercise does
not do anything good to a person at all. Hundreds of books, articles, research studies, and even
blogs/vlogs, would boast of how exercise contributes to a better and healthier life. That is, for someone
who willingly and religiously incorporate exercise to his/her daily or even weekly schedule. Thus, to be
more specific, it would be best to identify the most basic physical, mental, psychological, physiological,
and social benefits that an individual gets when he/she performs a regular exercise routine or program.

On Problems of Inactivity
On the other hand, failure to engage in a regular physical activity also has corresponding concerns
or problems. To wit:
1. obesity
2. diabetes
8
3. lower back pains
4. tension syndrome
5. prone to Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs)
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES (CVDs) – terms that refers to any disease that affects the heart or
blood vessels.
MAJOR FORMS OF CVD:
1. Atherosclerosis – accumulation of fatty plaques (fatty deposits, calcium, tissue debris) in the
inner walls of the artery. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts
of your body, which may eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke.
2. Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) – a condition where the heart is supplied with insufficient blood
due to clogging of coronary arteries. Difficulty in breathing or shortness of breath, vomiting, and
angina pectoris (chest pain) are some of the signs of this disease.
3. Stroke – a disease when blood supply to the brain is reduced for a long period of time. Weakness
of face, arm or leg on one side of the body, difficulty in speaking and walking are common
symptoms.
4. Hypertension – is a condition where the blood pressure is chronically elevated. A borderline
blood pressure is 140mmHg for the systolic BP (or when the heart contracts), and 90mmHg for
the diastolic BP (or when the heart relaxes).
Source: Cando, J. et al. (2010) Physical education I. Foundation of physical fitness: A college worktext. Mutya Publishing House,
Inc.
Normal blood pressure is 120/80. This means a systolic reading of less than 120 and a diastolic
reading of less than 80.
Elevated blood pressure is a systolic reading of 120 to 129 and a diastolic reading of less than 80.
Stage 1 high blood pressure is a systolic reading of 130 to 139 or a diastolic reading between 80
and 89.
9
Stage 2 high blood pressure is a systolic reading of 140 or higher or a diastolic reading of 90
or higher.

Contribute to one’s ability to perform skills and to participate in enjoyable leisure and
recreation/sports activities.
1. Speed – the ability of an individual to move from one point to another in one direction within the
shortest time possible.
Activity tests to measure speed:
50-meter Sprint Double Heel Click
100-meter Dash
2. Power – refers to muscular power, which is the ability to exert or apply a single maximum force within
the shortest time possible.
Strength + Speed = Power
3. Reaction Time – the length of time that an individual requires to respond to a stimulus.
4. Coordination –the ability to efficiently, effectively and simultaneously combine movements of several
body parts, or simply harmonious functioning of body parts.
5. Balance –the ability of an individual to maintain equilibrium in relation to change in body position.
Balance can be categorized into static and dynamic balance.
10
Static balance involves equilibrium in a fixed position such as standing on one foot or on a
balance beam.
Dynamic balance refers to the maintenance of equilibrium while moving such as walking in a
balance beam.
Activity tests to measure balance:
One-foot Balance Balance Beam Walk
Components that contribute to the development of fitness and health and functional capacity of
the body will be classified as health-related components.
1. Muscular Strength - ability of the muscle to exert or apply a single maximal force during contraction
to overcome resistance.
Activity tests to measure muscular strength:Push-ups, Modified Push-ups
2. Muscular Endurance –capacity of a muscle or muscle group to exert force repeatedly or to hold a
contraction over a period of time.
3. Flexibility- functional capacity of the joints to move freely through a full range of motion (ROM). It
involves the muscular system as well as the bones and joints. Lack of adequate flexibility has often been
linked with low back pain as well as with muscle and joint injuries. Prevention of injuries and
maintenance of body’s mobility can be improved through execution of stretching exercises.
Four basic body movements:
Abduction – moving a limb away from a body
Adduction – moving a limb towards the body
11
Activity tests to measure flexibility:
Sit and Reach, Shoulder Flexibility, Sit and Reach Wall Test
4. Body Composition –the proportion of fat and non-fat (bones, muscles, organs) in the body .
A lower percentage of body fat and a higher percentage of non-fat or fat-free is a healthy body
composition, which decreases the chance of developing a heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity,
among others. Instead of developing heart-related problems, a healthy body composition increases an
individual’s energy level and functional capacity.

B. Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) – waist measurement/hip measurement
Example: if a female’s waist is 24 inches, and hip measurement is 36 inches, then WHR
is .6
Note: According to the World Health Organization, a waist-to-hip ratio greater than 1.0 is indicative of
a higher than normal risk of developing heart disease. A healthy WHR for women is under .85 and a
healthy WHR for men is .90 or less.

5. Cardiovascular Endurance - the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to supply oxygen and
nutrients to the working muscles efficiently in order to sustain prolonged rhythmical exercises. It is also
defined as the maximum amount of work an individual is capable of performing continuously where the
work involves large muscle groups.

Nutrition and Physical Activity Topic 5
On Nutrition
As participation in any physical activity requires energy, therefore, it is but fitting that food is
discussed relative to its context to physical activity participation.
Food is essentially the source of nutrients that are needed by the body to perform its basic
functions. Further, nutrients are basically classified into 6 types (carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins,
minerals, and water) where each has a specific function, and collectively they work together to contribute
to good health. Simply, good health is characterized by striking a balance between proper nutrition and
sufficient physical activity participation.
Succeeding topics will focus on visual representations in terms of what a “balanced and healthy
meal” should be in considering a healthy diet, as well as the level of physical activity participation that
can guarantee an improvement in an individual’s fitness level.
Food Pyramid- provides a visual image of the variety of foods that Filipinos should eat. The group that
must be eaten the most includes rice, root crops, corn, noodles, breads and cereals and least are fats, oils
and sugar. This food guide can help an individual choose a varied and balanced diet.

ACTIVITY7: Identify parts of a Filipino Food Pyramid. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MOODLE
ACCOUNT TO HAVE ACCESS IN ANSWERING THIS ACTIVITY.
B. Macronutrients – nutrients that the body needs in large amount as they are the ones that provide
energy to the body.
1. Carbohydrate – the chief source of energy in the Filipino diet. Each gram of carbohydrates yields 4
kcal. It is also the preferred energy source for most of the body’s functions. As long as carbohydrate is
available to the body, certain body cells such as the nerve cells in the brain and retina, and the red blood
cells depend exclusively on it for energy.
Active individuals and athletes consume a high carbohydrate diet (carbohydrate loading) to
maximize storage of glycogen for fuel. These foods have also been shown to improve sports performance
especially among endurance athlete.
Carbohydrates are the starches (complex carbohydrates) and sugar (simple carbohydrates) one
gets from rice, corn, root crops, pasta, bread and bakery products, fruits, vegetables, milk and milk
products and many processed foods and drinks.
2. Fat – provides a concentrated source of food energy, providing 9 kcal per gram. It is also important
component of body cells and helps absorb, transport and store the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
Other functions of fats include body insulation and padding from extreme temperature and shock, and
provide palatability and satiety value to foods.
The human body can synthesize all fatty acids except linoleic (omega-6) and linolenic (omega-3)
acids. They must be provided by the diet hence the name essential fatty acids. They are used to maintain
the structural portions of cell membranes and to synthesize eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are hormone-like
compounds that function in the blood pressure regulation, blood clotting and immune response. Some of
the important derivatives of linolenic acid are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid
22
(DHA). They are necessary in normal brain development and in the prevention and treatment of various
diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, arthritis, and cancer. EPA and DHA also constitute a large
part of the eye’s main center vision, the retina.
Saturated fats are found in red meats, whole eggs, milk and milk products and coconut oil.
Unsaturated fats are found in nuts, fish and vegetable oils such as corn oil.
3. Protein – the body-building nutrient. Proteins are needed for growth and repair of body cells. No new
living tissue can be built without it, for protein is a part of every living cell and every tissue. They are also
essential components of enzymes and hormones needed for vital life processes such as digestion
absorption and metabolism. Proteins also help produce antibodies to fight infection, maintenance of fluids
and electrolyte balance and acid-base balance and transport of substance around the body. Protein
provides some fuel to the body, yielding 4 kcal per gram.
Major sources of protein are fish, meat, poultry, eggs, organ meats, milk and milk products, dried
beans and nuts.
1. Vitamins - Vitamins in food occur in much smaller quantities than the macronutrients. They are the
regulators or facilitators of body processes. Certain vitamins assume antioxidant functions (vitamin C, E
and beta-carotene) that may help protect cell membranes. Furthermore, vitamin D acts as a hormone. The
human body needs an adequate supply of 13 vitamins --- fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K and water-
soluble vitamins C and B complex.
Rich sources of vitamins include green, leafy and yellow vegetables and fresh fruits. Rich sources
of protein, carbohydrates and fats are also good sources of a number of vitamins.
2. Water constitutes the body’s fluid compartment that provides the medium in which all of the cell’s
chemical reactions occur. Every cell in the body is bathed in fluid with the exact composition that is best
for it. These special fluids regulate the functioning of cells. The entire system of cells and fluids remains
in a delicate but firmly maintained state of dynamic equilibrium called homeostatis.
Body water acts as transporters of nutrients and waste products, lubricant around joints and shock
absorber in certain body organs (spinal cord). It also aids in the maintenance and regulation of blood
volume and body temperature.
3. Minerals, just like vitamins, do not provide calories but are used as building blocks for body tissues
such as bones, teeth, muscles and other organic structures. A number of minerals such as zinc, iron, and
copper are components of enzymes known as metalloenzymes, which are involved in the regulation of
metabolism.
In addition, muscle contraction, nerve impulse conduction, normal heart rhythm, blood clotting,
maintenance of body water balance, blood acid-base balance are some physiological processes regulated
or maintained by minerals.
23
On Physical Activity
To strike a balance between what is eaten and what is expended (energy expenditure through
physical activity participation), familiarity and understanding on the types of activities that must be
undertaken are important for keen consideration. This is where the Activity Pyramid comes in, which is a
helpful tool in serving as a guide to achieving the goal of a regular physical activity participation aimed at
improving and maintaining a functional level of physical fitness.
Source: http://exercisescienceandfitnesstraining.blogspot.com/2012/10/physical-activity-and-physical-fitness_5.html
Part of being healthy and fit is to become physically active. The question is how to do it? What
constitutes a physically active lifestyle? The above Filipino Physical Activity Pyramid will serve as a
guide. The idea is to basically consider the following guidelines:
1. The bottom part of the pyramid are the activities, done on a daily basis, that must be performed as
often as possible. These are considered as light activities as they are part of the everyday tasks
that an individual does.
2. The second level from the bottom describes the activities that must be done 3-5x in a week, 30-45
minutes or even longer. In contrast to the first level, these activities should be carefully planned to
be included in a weekly schedule because of the fitness benefits that one can get.
3. Improvement in strength and flexibility concerns are the focus of the third level, which has to be
done 2-3x a week for 30-45 minutes or even longer. Leisure activities are described to be those
activities that are pressure-free, and done during free time because it is primarily intended for
enjoyment.
24
4. The types of activities that are recommended to be done at a minimal level are the ones that
require a lot of sitting or lying down because obviously there is not much physical exertion that
will help improve one’s physical fitness level.

ENERGY SYSTEMS
The discussion on the link between food as source of energy and physical activity has been
introduced at the beginning of this topic. But how exactly does the body uses energy in terms of how it
adapts to short duration type of activities (such as sprinting) to the longer or more enduring ones (such as
cycling or dancing)? Consider the 3 basic energy systems.
25
Three (3) basic energy systems:
Immediate or Explosive
Anaerobic
Aerobic
Although the 3 energy systems work together to ensure that there is a continuous supply of energy
to meet the needs of our daily activities, but parts of the system will become predominant depending on
what the needs of the body are and there are two factors that can determine the type of energy system that
is predominantly used: intensity and duration of the activity. Obviously, the higher the intensity (the
difficulty level) of an activity, the shorter the duration or the time needed to complete the task because all
the energy the body can supply to work at a high level is used up quickly. Conversely, if the duration is
longer (endurance type of activities or those that needs oxygen), then the intensity is less so that the body
can supply enough energy to keep going.
Characteristics of how they serve as energy systems are provided for in the following table.
ENERGY SYSTEM *
*For most activities, all three systems contribute to energy production; the duration and intensity of the
activity determine which system predominates.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is the basic form of energy used by cells. When a cell needs
energy, it breaks down ATP, a process that releases energy in the only form the cell can use directly
(Fahey, et al, 2005). When cells need more, they create it using other stored fuels in the body such as
glucose, glycogen and fats.

ACTIVITY9: IDENTIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES BASED ON CLASSIFIED ENERGY
SYSTEMS: PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MOODLE ACCOUNT TO HAVE ACCESS IN ANSWERING
THIS ACTIVITY.
The basic training principles help coaches to design an exercise program that are specific and safe
for the individual athlete. Thus, the training principles outlined below will appear to focus mostly on
fitness training but the majority will also apply to technical, tactical and psychological training.
A. INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES – Performers respond differently to the same training. This is due to
factors such as age, sex, the individual’s state of training, the characteristics that athletes have inherited
from their parents/genetic, their personal commitment, their level of physical and mental maturity.
No two individuals are exactly alike. All individuals have different performances, fitness
attributes, lifestyles, nutritional preferences, and they respond to exercise and its physical and social
environments in their own unique way. It is therefore essential that the exercise programs cater to these
individual needs and preferences to ensure attainment of fitness goals.
B. ADAPTATION/USE – Is the way the body responds to the training program. The parts of the body
that are actively stressed during exercise adapt to those stresses, leading to an increase in performance.
C. OVERLOAD- Indicates that doing “more than the usual” is necessary if benefits are to occur. In order
for the muscles (including the heart muscles) to get stronger, it must be overloaded or worked against a
load greater than the usual. It relates to the Principle of Use/Adaptation in that your energy systems must
be stressed beyond their normal levels of activity if they are to improve. For the body’s systems to make
these adaptations, they must be overloaded. Just taking part in an activity will not cause any
improvements in fitness, as the body will not be stressed to a greater extent than normal.
For physical activity to be effective, it must be done with enough frequency, intensity, and time or
duration, and in consideration to the type of activity, or otherwise known as the FITT Principle.
Frequency – (how often) it is the number of times one should exercise in a week. According to
studies, for one to achieve something out of ones physical fitness activity, one should exercise at least
3-4 times in a week. Increased frequency may be necessary for those training for competition.
Intensity – ( how hard ) it is defined as the difficulty level or how vigorous and exercise should be.
This is probably the most critical of the different factors that determine the amount of positive
physical change to take place.
27
Time/Duration – (how long) the length of time at which the exercise program is executed. An
average work-out will last between 15-45 minutes to an hour. The intensity of an exercise is inversely
proportional to the duration. As the intensity increases, duration decreases and vice versa.
Type – the type of activity or exercise which in general are focused on cardio and resistance training.
D. PROGRESSION – As one reaches his fitness potential, the rate of improvement begins to plateau.
Hence, the overload imposed on an athlete must be progressive.
In the initial stage of training, the habitually sedentary individuals should have a mild to moderate
entry into the program. As the body begins to adapt to the exercise routine, the intensity, duration, and or
frequency may be increased so as to keep up with the improvement of the body.
It is important to progress slowly, as too rapid progression may contribute to the development of
overuse injuries.
E. REVERSIBILITY/DISUSE- The adaptation that take place as a result of training are all reversible.
Adaptation to endurance training can be lost more quickly than it takes to achieve them while strength
gains are lost more slowly. The principle of reversibility is another way of stating the principle of disuse.
If your energy systems are not utilized, it deteriorates to a level congruent to your level of activity. It
indicates that disuse or inactivity results in loss of benefits achieved in overloading.
In order to maintain a desired level of fitness, you need to continue to provide an exercise
overload. Unfortunately, we cannot “bank” fitness neither can we “store” fitness. Continuous
work/exercise/participation in different physical activities is required to maintain a certain level of fitness.
F. SPECIFICITY – In order for a training program to be effective it must be specific for the sport and
position of the performer. It indicates that you must train a specific energy system and a specific muscle
or muscle groups in order for the desired improvement to occur.
2 Types of Specificity
Special Considerations:
The program must be specifically planned or geared towards improvement of the sports itself.
The program must be geared specifically to the individual using it.
G. RECOVERY –refers to the amount of time the body should be allowed to rest and recover from
fatigue before the next activity begins.
It is during the recovery session that adaptation to training takes place. Recovery sessions may not
necessary mean complete rest. Periods of lower intensity activity will allow the body to adapt without
increasing the stress placed on it. These periods are excellent opportunities for work on technique and
tactics.
28
H. VARIATION – Refers to the need of the body to undergo changes. If training programs are
repetitious, athletes can soon become bored and lose their motivation.
I. TIME PATTERN – Exercises should be done anytime of the day when it is convenient for the
individual and it should be governed by the preference and the timetable of the individual.
Note: Exercising one (1) or two (2) hours after a heavy meal is not advised because it may result to
indigestion. Digestion takes place one to two hours after a heavy meal, where blood and oxygen is needed
for good digestion. If an individual exercises at this time, the exercised muscles will also demand more
blood and oxygen supply. As a result the blood and oxygen needed for digestion will not be enough, thus,
indigestion may likely be experienced.
ACTIVITY 10.Identify the different principles of training that are described. PLEASE REFER TO
YOUR MOODLE ACCOUNT TO HAVE ACCESS IN ANSWERING THIS ACTIVITY.
For sedentary and unfit persons, it is recommended that the lower limits of the FITT principle be
utilize, whereas most CRF program tend to engage in exercise of moderate frequency (three to four times
per week), intensity (60 to 70 percent heart rate reserve), and duration (30-40 minutes). Fitness
professionals must understand how each of these factors in the FITT principle interrelate and how to
modify such elements in order to individualize the program.
Frequency (How often to exercise) Three to five days per week on alternate days
29
Time/Duration (How long to exercise) 15-60 minutes (continuous)
Type mode (What activity to engage in) Large muscle activity, rhythmic; biking/
cycling, walking, jogging/running, aerobic
dance (low impact), steps aerobic, swimming,
rowing, stair-climbing
CARDIO-RESPIRATORY ENDURANCE
TYPES
Walking, swimming, cycling, jogging, bicycling, dancing (aerobic dance/zumba) and running are
examples of exercises that can improve cardio-respiratory endurance. Even doing household chores such
as gardening or vacuuming can help build cardio-respiratory endurance. Ideally, your training program
should include activities that you enjoy.
EFFECTS
Building cardiorespiratory endurance through regular physical activity allows your heart and
lungs to work more efficiently, thereby improving your physical capacity to deal with stress and lowering
your risk factors for several chronic diseases. Regular physical activity helps control obesity, high blood
pressure and high cholesterol -- with a net result of cutting your heart disease risk almost in half,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC. By providing weight control,
regular exercise also cuts your risk factors for developing Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.
Additionally, building cardiorespiratory endurance benefits mental health by providing a buffer against
anxiety and depression.
HEART RATE
Heart rate is the speed of the heartbeat measured by the number of contractions of the heart per
minute (bpm). The heart rate can vary according to the body's physical needs, including the need to
absorb oxygen and excrete carbon dioxide. It is usually equal or close to the pulse measured at any
peripheral point. Activities that can provoke change or influence heart rate include physical exercise,
sleep, anxiety, stress, illness, being a smoker, and ingestion of drugs.
30
Proper pulse rate technique at the following sites: (refer to page 16)
Apical site-This is taken at the apex of the heart and can sometimes be felt very clearly by placing the heel
of the hand over the left side of the chest.
Carotid pulse site- This pulse is taken from the carotid artery just beside of the larynx using light pressure
from the fingertips of the first two fingers, not the thumb.
Radial pulse site- The pulse is taken from the radial artery at the wrist, in line with the thumb, using the
fingertips of the first two fingers.
Temporal pulse site- This pulse can sometimes be obtained from the left or right temple with light
pressure from the fingertips of the first two fingers.
Target Heart Rate (THR) is the minimum number of heartbeats in a given amount of time in order
to reach the level of exertion necessary for cardiovascular fitness, specific to a person's age, gender, or
physical fitness. This is a simple way of determining whether an individual is exercising to a level that is
beneficial to him/her.
Accurate measurement of exercise heart rate is crucial to monitoring exercise intensity. Although
digital heart rate are available and are reasonably accurate, the use of population to measure pulse rate is a
skill encouraged to be performed.
The normal resting heart rate is 72 bpm, while resting rates of 50 to 85 bpm are common, and that
people with regular physical activity will have lower resting heart rates than people who do no regular
physical activity (Corbin, et al, 2004).A well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer
to 40 beats per minute.
31
Resting Heart Rate
To get the Resting Heart Rate (RHR), it is recommended that an individual will take his/her heart
rate for one minute as soon as he/she wakes up in the morning. This is the period where the individual is
said to have had enough rest. To be more accurate, the RHR must be taken for 3 consecutive mornings
where the average must be computed.
HR max may be determined from either a maximal stress test or the age adjusted maximal heart rate
formula (age-predicted Maximal Heart Rate = 220 - age [years]).
The desired intensity level depends on the fitness level of an individual. It is suggested that the following
be considered:
Target Heart Rate may be computed using the following simple steps:
Step 4: Multiply the answer from Step 3 to the desired exercise intensity (60%, 70%, or 80%)
Step 5: Add answer from Step 4 to the MHR to get the THR.
32
Example: An individual whose age is 20 years old, with a Resting Heart Rate of 80 bpm and who is just
new to an exercise training program.
= 220 -20
= 200 bpm
Step 4: Multiply the answer from Step 3 to the desired exercise intensity
= 120 x .7 (120 x 70%)
= 84 bpm
Step 5: Add answer from Step 4 to the RHR to get the THR
= 84+80
= 164 bpm
NOTE: all heart rates must be a whole number and must have a unit of bpm to emphasize that the
number represents a particular heart rate.
Target Heart Rate Zone – is the level at which your heart is being exercised and conditioned but not
overworked. Usually the 60% and 80% of one’s MHR. If you are unfit or just beginning an exercise
program, aim for the lower end of your target heart rate zone. Then, gradually build up the intensity. If
you are fit and healthy and want to exercise at a vigorous intensity, opt for the higher end of the zone.
Stop briefly.
Take your pulse for 15 seconds. To check your pulse over your carotid artery, place your index and
third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe. To check your pulse at your wrist, place two
33
fingers between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery — which is located on the thumb side
of your wrist.
Multiply this number by 4 to calculate your beats per minute.
Here's an example: You stop exercising and take your pulse for 15 seconds, getting 37 beats. Multiply 37
by 4, to get 148. If you are 45 years old with a resting heart rate of 80bpm, this puts you in the target heart
rate zone for vigorous exercise, since the target zone for that age is between 137 and 156 beats per minute
using the HRR method. If you are under or over your target heart rate zone, adjust your exercise intensity.
Recovery Heart Rate - Recovery heart rate is a pulse measurement that is taken immediately following an
intense exercise. This is used in a number of fitness tests to evaluate the heart's ability to recover from
exercise. The recovery heart rate may be used to estimate an exerciser's fitness level.
Scoring: Here are the age-adjusted standards based on guidelines published by YMCA. Ratings

ACTIVITY 11: Practice computing the Maximum Heart Rate (MHR), Target Heart Rate (THR) and
Target Heart Rate Zone (THRzone). PLEASE REFER TO YOUR MOODLE ACCOUNT TO HAVE
ACCESS IN ANSWERING THIS ACTIVITY.
It is said that flexibility is the functional capacity of the joints to move within a normal range of
motion (ROM), and that it involves the muscular system, bones and joints. Stretching, on the other hand,
is a form of exercise that can improve flexibility. Specifically, stretching can help improve ROM in a
particular joint, decrease occurrence of injury, and improve athletic performance. With an improved
flexibility, muscles are used more efficiently resulting in better physical activity performance.
STRETCHING TYPES
Static Stretching
Static stretching is most often recommended for general fitness. With this type, you slowly ease
into the position and hold for 10 to 30 seconds before slowly releasing the stretch. Static stretching should
be performed with warm muscles, such as after a warm-up or at the end of a workout. There are two
forms of static stretching.
Active Static: This form of stretching is used in yoga and martial arts. The stretch is held by the
strength of agonist muscles (muscles responsible for the movement). Think of the stretch across the upper
body during the Warrior II pose in yoga. Your arms are extended as your back, chest, and shoulders are
stretched. The muscles of the arms and shoulders are the agonist muscles that allow you to hold this
stretch.
Passive Static: During this type of stretching, you hold the limb to perform the stretch without any
assistance such as a bar or bands. Think of a standing quadriceps stretch in which you bend your leg
behind you and hold the foot, pulling the heel in close to your bottom, which stretches the front of the
upper thigh.
Dynamic Stretching
Dynamic stretching is stretching with movement. The body transitions gradually into a position
and this movement is repeated as you increase your reach and range of motion. If you have ever taken a
group exercise class, you have likely engaged in dynamic stretching. Movements such as alternating knee
lifts repeatedly stretch the hamstrings while keeping the body in motion. Research has found that dynamic
stretching is less beneficial than static stretching for increasing range of motion, but unlike static
stretching, it is ideal during the pre-workout phase because it gently warms muscles while also stretching
them.
PNF Stretching
PNF stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation. This type of stretching is often
referred to as partner stretching because two people are needed to perform the movements. There are
many forms of PNF, but most involve an isometric hold followed by a static stretch of the same muscle
group. An example of PNF is a hamstring stretch where one person lies on her back with the right leg
extended straight up into the air. The second person grasps the ankle and gently presses the leg towards
the other person’s head to stretch the hamstring. The pressure is released and then the stretch is repeated.
36
While PNF is as effective as static stretching for improving range of motion, it is less practical
because of the necessity of a partner. It is most often used in clinical and fitness settings for training and
rehabilitation.
Ballistic Stretching
This type of stretching uses bouncing movements to create momentum which moves the muscle
into the stretch. For example, instead of holding a hamstring stretch you would quickly reach towards
your toes and release repeatedly in short bursts of movement. Fitness trainers have long been warned
about the dangers of ballistic stretching because it can cause a stretch reflex that injures the muscle.
Current recommendations from the ACSM state that ballistic stretching can improve flexibility as well as
static stretching when it is performed properly. It is best considered for those participating in ballistic
exercises such as basketball and other athletics.

STRETCHING ESSENTIALS
Don't consider stretching a warm-up. Before stretching, warm up with light walking,
jogging or biking at low intensity for five to 10 minutes.
Strive for symmetry. Flexibility that is not equal on both sides may be a risk factor
for injury.
Focus on major muscle groups. Concentrate your stretches on major muscle groups such
as your calves, thighs, hips, lower back, neck and shoulders. Make sure that you stretch
both sides.
Don't bounce. Stretch in a smooth movement, without bouncing. Bouncing as you stretch
can injure your muscle and actually contribute to muscle tightness.
Hold your stretch. Breathe normally and hold each stretch for about 30 seconds;
in problem areas, you may need to hold for around 60 seconds.
Don't aim for pain. Expect to feel tension while you're stretching, not pain. If it hurts,
you've pushed too far. Back off to the point where you don't feel any pain, then hold the
stretch.
Make stretches sport specific. Some evidence suggests that it's helpful to do stretches
involving the muscles used most in your sport or activity. If you play soccer, for
instance, stretch your hamstrings as you're more vulnerable to hamstring strains.
Keep up with your stretching. Stretching can be time-consuming. But you can achieve the
most benefits by stretching regularly, at least two to three times a week.
Skipping regular stretching means you risk losing the potential benefits. For instance, if
stretching helped you increase your range of motion, your range of motion may decrease
again if you stop stretching.
Bring movement into your stretching. Gentle movements, such as those in tai chi or yoga,
can help you be more flexible in specific movements. These types of exercises can also
help reduce falls in older adults.
Know when to exercise caution.For example, if you already have a strained muscle, stretching it
may cause further harm. Talk to your doctor or physical therapist about the most appropriate way
to stretch if you have any health concerns.

ZUMBA
Zumba, just like Aerobic Dance, is an exercise fitness program designed to improve the aerobic
capacity of an individual. Created by Colombian dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez during
the 1990s, it is said that Zumba dancing is safe for all ages, especially that it can help build strength and
improve posture and motion, and is a very good medium for socialization.
There are several Zumba classes that can be performed depending on the preference and aim of a
person. But whatever class it is, what is important is that by joining, an individual gets the chance to
experience its benefits.
Improved coordination
Full body workout
Everyone can join in
Increased confidence
