Introduction
The way in which an individual lives is called lifestyle. This includes the
typical patterns of an individual’s behavior like everyday routine at home, in school,
or at work; eating, sleeping, and exercise habits, and many others. These patterns
of behavior are related to elevated or reduced health risk.
Teenagers like you may have practices or habits at home or in school that
either elevate or reduce health risks. Do you spend a lot of your time at home just
sitting down and doing nothing? Do you move a lot by helping out at home,
cleaning your house for example? Do you love eating fruits and vegetables? Or do
you prefer junk food or fast food? Teenagers like you should be more aware on
how your nutritional practices can affect your health.

Risk factors are variables in your lifestyle that may lead to certain diseases.
Many aspects of your lifestyle can be considered risk factors. Aside from genetics
or heredity, age and physical make-up are some of the factors that cannot be
changed; however, your lifestyle can go around these factors to gain more benefits.
For instance, you cannot stop the aging process, but you can delay the signs of
aging from showing by being more active and avoiding vices.
An unhealthy lifestyle brings with it certain diseases that can shorten your
lifespan. These diseases, known as non-communicable diseases (NCDs), are
not transmitted from person to person, yet kill more than 36 million people each
year. Also called chronic diseases, they are of long duration, and are generally of
slow progression. The four main types of NCDs are cardiovascular diseases (like
enlargement of the heart and hypertension), cancer, chronic respiratory diseases
(such as chronic obstructed pulmonary disease and asthma), and diabetes.
All age groups are affected by NCDs, although they are often associated
with older age groups. Evidence shows that more than nine million of all deaths
attributed to NCDs occur before the age of 60. Children and adults are all
vulnerable to the risk factors that lead to non-communicable diseases, whether
from unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, exposure to tobacco smoke, or the harmful
effects of alcohol. (www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs355/en/ ).
It is important that these risks factors are addressed even at your teenage
years. You could start by being more active, adding physical activity sessions to
DEPED COPY
your daily routine, or by being a healthy eater, opting for more nutritious food.
Fahey, T. D., Insel, P. M., & Roth, W. T. (2003). Fit & Well: Core Concepts and Labs in
Physical Fitness and Wellness (5th ed.). Boston: McGraw-Hill.
You might find other individuals lucky because they eat a lot but do not gain
weight as much as you do. You might also think it is unfair that though you limit
your food intake, you do not lose as much weight as you want to. This is because
your weight is a result of metabolic responses of your body to your food intake,
energy expenditure, and physiologic processes. A simple elimination of food or
addition of physical activity does not encompass the entirety of weight
management. Understanding how your body works is a vital key as well as a
combination of healthy food practices and a more active lifestyle.
The concepts of weight gain and weight loss are important in weight
management. How to gain and lose weight are probably some of the more
common issues when it comes to health. Along with this concept is weight
maintenance. To understand it in simple terms, energy expenditure is the amount
of energy you spend through physical activity, while energy consumption is the
amount of energy you take in through food. They both play key roles in weight
management. A simple formula is shown here.
Weight Gain = energy consumed is greater than energy expended
= more food intake but less physical exertion
Weight Loss = energy consumed is less than energy expended
= more physical exertion but less food intake
Weight Maintenance = energy consumed equals energy expended
= physical exertion is the same with food intake
Modifying your eating habits can aid you in managing your weight. Opting
for more nutritious food can help lessen health risks and improve your physique.
Some of the common tips in weight management are including fruits and
vegetables in your meals, reducing intake of sweets, preparing your meals in a
healthier way, and decreasing portion sizes.
Aside from taking note of your eating habits, you should also take note of
your actual weight as an indicator of health risk. This has to do with getting your
Body Mass Index (BMI). It is a rough measure of body composition that is useful
for classifying the health risks of body weight. It is also based on the concept that a
person’s weight should be proportional to height. BMI is calculated by dividing your
body weight (expressed in kilograms) by the square of your height (expressed in
meters).
Example:
Weight: 130 pounds (convert into kilos) x 1kg / 2.2 pounds = 59 kg
Height: 5 feet 3 inches (convert to meters) x .0254 meters / inch = 1.6 m
DEPED COPY
wt in kg 59 kg
BMI = = = 23 kg/m2
ht in m2 (1.6 m) 2
Classification BMI
Underweight 18.5
Normal 18.5–24.9
Overweight 25.0–29.9
Obesity (I) 30.0–34.9
Obesity (II) 35.0–39.9
Extreme Obesity (III) ≥40.0
At low values of BMI, weight gain should be achieved. For normal values,
weight maintenance is recommended. Healthy eating and active physical activity
will be beneficial in maintaining a healthy weight. At high values of BMI, however,
the risk of arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and other disorders increases
substantially. In classifying health risks associated with overweight and obesity,
body fat distribution and other disease risk factors are considered in addition to
BMI.
If BMI and other assessment tests indicate that fat loss would be beneficial
for your health, your first step is to establish a goal. Make sure your goal is realistic
and will ensure good health. Genetics somehow limits your capacity to change
your body composition; however, you can improve your body composition through
regular exercise and healthy diet. A lifestyle that includes regular exercise may be
more important for health than trying to reach any “ideal” weight. Once you have
established a body composition goal, you can then set a target range for body
weight.
Recreational activities are those activities held during one’s leisure time.
Their purpose is to refresh oneself by doing activities that are considered by an
individual as enjoyable.

Choose recreational activities that you find enjoyable and fits into your daily
routine. Your participation in these activities could easily be sustained since you
personally enjoy doing them and you even do it in your own time. Hence, strict
adherence to a regular physical activity is very viable.
Regular physical activity, regardless of how hard it is, makes you healthier
and can help protect you from many chronic diseases. However, exercising at low
levels of exertion does little to improve physical fitness. It is recommended that you
exert more than your usual effort. For example, if you are used to walking for 15
minutes from home to work, you could walk faster or for a longer duration.
Some of the more common active recreational activities are sports like

and how to manage it, coupled with participation in active recreational activities
would make you a healthier individual. However, take note that making significant
cuts in food intake in order to lose weight and body fat could be a difficult strategy to
maintain; focusing on increased physical activity is a better approach for many
people.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PHYSICAL FITNESS
People of all ages benefit from regular physical activity. Significant health
benefits can be obtained by engaging in moderate amounts of physical activity on
most, if not all days of the week. Through a modest increase in daily activity, most
individuals can improve their health and quality of life. Additional health benefits
can be gained through greater amounts of physical activity. Individuals who can
maintain a regular regimen of a more vigorous or a longer-duration activity are
likely to obtain even greater benefits.

Participation in regular moderate physical activity can lead to improved
physical fitness. It is a condition whereby the systems of the body are able to
function at their optimal efficiency, associated with an individual’s ability to work
effectively, to enjoy leisure time, to be healthy, to resist disease, and to respond
easily to emergency situations.
Regular moderate physical activity means engaging in relatively vigorous
bodily movement for 30 minutes to 1 hour that can elevate your heart rate.
“Regular” here refers to being active in most, if not all days of the week. About 3 to
4 times per week or more are the recommended times of exercise for an individual.
You may opt to have rest days or easy days in between to allow your body to
recover from the physical exertion.

For example, you are used to leisurely walking for 20 minutes from your
home to school and back from Monday to Friday. Applying the FITT formula would
entail the following adjustments in your physical activity for it to become more than

One way to gauge this is through the Rate of Perceived Exertion or RPE. It
is an assessment of the intensity of exercise based on how the participant feels. It
is basically a subjective assessment of effort which ranges from 6 (very, very light)
to 20 (very, very hard) with 1 point increment in between. The target zone for
aerobic activity is from 12 to 16.

and time, or change the type. However, if you find the activity as “very hard” (17) to
“very, very hard” (19), you might want to check your FITT formula. Remember,
health promotion does not mean exhaustion or risking yourself of getting injuries.

related and skill-related components are tested to determine points of improvement
of an individual. Health-related components are those that contribute to the
development of health and functional capacity of the body. These include
cardiovascular strength, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Skill-related components on the
other hand are those components that contribute to the development of skills.
These include agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed.

Injury Prevention and Risk Management
The most common table tennis injury is very similar to standard tennis
injuries. Sprained ankles, tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis are just three of the
more frequent table tennis injuries.
Table tennis is a non-contact sport but injuries are often acquired when
athletes suddenly change direction or twist their body quickly, leading to pulled
muscles and other injury problems. Players who do not warm up properly or
stretch their muscles before taking to the table also put themselves at a high risk
of injury.
(www.sportsinjurybulletin.com/archive/table-tennis.php)
Set up 10 targets fairly close together at the end of the table. Group 3
players for each team and assign them the following tasks: 1 hitter, 1 fielder at
the back and 1 fielder in front, who is in charge of returning the ball to the hitter.
The hitter feeds the ball and hits it over the net aiming it at the targets. Each
target hit scores one point. Take turns in keeping score. Each player has 10 balls
to use to score as many points as possible. Replace or re-set targets and change
hitters and fielders.

joints, and soft tissues without proper time for healing. They begin as a small,
nagging ache or pain, and can grow into a debilitating injury if they aren’t treated
early
Many sports injuries result from overuse, lack of proper rest, lack of proper
warm uip or poor conditioning. Safety precautions are recommended to help
prevent tennis injuries like warming up thoroughly prior to play, wearing the right
tennis shoes with skid-resistant soles, using good technique in the different
tennis movements, cleaning of courts before play to check for slippery spots or
debris, getting adequate rest and time for recovery after each play, and staying
hydrated.
When all the balls are in the buckets, they are counted and the player who
gets the most balls into his opponent’s buckets wins.

Injury Prevention and Risk Management
If you use too much effort in pitching the ball, or continuously pitch without
rest, a serious elbow or shoulder injury may be on the horizon. If you complain of
elbow or shoulder pain the day after pitching, or movement of the joint is painful
or restricted compared to the opposite side, see a a physician familiar with youth
sports injuries. Warm up properly by stretching, running, and easy, gradual
pitching. Emphasize control, accuracy, and good mechanics. Do not play all
year-round. Your body needs to recover from the physical demands of playing.
Three markers are used as bases. Three players stand near the markers
while another player is positioned away from the 3 markers and is the designated
hitter. The hitter has to hit the ball with a bat to any of the players positioned in
the 3 bases. As the player nearest the ball catches it, they all run to steal a base.
The player who fails to steal a base will be the hitter in the next round.

Partners stand 6-8 meters apart, facing each other. At the signal, one
partner will attempt to shoot the ball between their partners’ outstretched legs.
They also must retrieve the ball and go back to the starting point to shoot the
ball again. This goes on within a minute, afterwhich they switch roles. Whoever
scores the most goals in one minute wins, and assigns a task for the non-winner
to perform. Variation can be done using teams instead of individuals.

Ankle sprains, jammed fingers, knee injuries, deep thigh bruising, and foot
fractures are common basketball injuries. To avoid these injuries, maintain proper
fitness and hydrate adequately. Remember, injury rates are higher in athletes
who have not adequately prepared physically.
This game is played on a hard court. Select 4 players to be “it” and give
them a basketball each. Their objective is to tag other players who are scattered
on the court while dribbling the ball. The players who are tagged must get a new
ball and also become “it.” Once the majority of students have been tagged, start
the game over by selecting new players to be “it”.

can be treated non- operatively with bracing and physical therapy, or home
rehabilitation exercises. However, treatment can vary significantly depending on
the injury. Recovery time usually depends on the injury.

MODIFYING EATING HABITS
The active life is a magnet that attracts a composite of behaviors or habits,
that when viewed one at a time, seems too simplistic to be valued. However, eating
and our body’s response to eating are some of the most intriguing concepts in
health.
Eating is an intentional act. Each day people choose from the available
food, prepare the food, decide where to eat, which rules to follow, and with whom
to dine with. These make up your eating habits. Convenience is only one factor
that drives food choices. Some of the other factors are:
Advertising: Media might have persuaded you to eat such food.
Availability: There are no others to choose from.
Economy: They are within your means.
DEPED COPY
Emotional comfort: They make you feel better for a while.
Habit: They are familiar; you always eat them.
Personal preference: You like the way such food taste.
Positive associations: They are eaten by people you admire, or they are
just for fun.
Region/location: They are common or favored in your locality.
Social pressure: They are offered; you feel you cannot refuse them.
Values/beliefs: They fit your religious traditions, or honor your
ethical beliefs.
Weight: You think they will help to control body weight.
Nutritional value: You think they are good for you.
The last two factors are highly viable to nutritional health. Similarly, the
choice of where, as well as what to eat, is often based more on social
considerations than on nutritional judgments. Hence, you should be more
conscious of the factors that affect your own personal food choices.
Poor food choices contribute directly to obesity, heart disease, diabetes,
cancer, and other health problems. Understanding the importance of food choices
becomes even more critical as a greater number of people rely more on
convenience food, take-out meals, and eating out. Poor diet coupled with lack of
exercise contributes to an increased risk of diseases.

Activity 7: DO YOU KNOW HOW TO ANALYZE?
DEPED COPY
I. Objective:
To describe the importance of critiquing media and technology related to
physical activity and eating habits
II. Materials/Equipment:
reading materials
slideshow presentation
video presentation of a product advertisement (e.g., Fit ‘n Right, etc)
poster of an athlete with a product being endorsed (e.g., Michael Jordan on
Gatorade, Manny Pacquiao on Sting, etc.)
III. Procedure:
1. Form three groups; each group will be assigned one particular viewpoint.
Group 1 – as an advertising company
Group 2 – as a consumer
Group 3 – as a health professional
2. Watch the video and/or study the poster and discuss the following
questions with your group.
Based on your prior knowledge about physical activity and nutrition
practices, what can you say about the advertisement?
What is the literal and implied message of the advertisement? Who is
the target audience?
Is it an effective advertisement?
3. Discuss the value of analyzing the effect and power of media and technology
on physical activity and nutrition practices.
4. As a group, share your viewpoint in a creative manner such as in a
slideshow presentation, news reporting, dramatization, etc. within 20-25
minutes.
Media and technology can greatly influence the choices individuals make
about their health, particularly their eating habits and participation in physical activity.
You must be aware of the power of advertisements and how they affect you. You
may be surprised to find out that a lot of your attitudes, beliefs, and practices have to
do with what you see on TV, in advertisements, and what you hear from others.
