 What I Need to Know
Good day to you my dear student. This module was specifically
developed and designed to provide you fun and meaningful learning
experience, with your own time and pace.

This module provides you the simplest way to understand the lesson
on engaging in any type of dance for health and fitness improvements and
monitoring the effort you are giving. This is because the effort in doing
dances contributes to the achievement of your fitness goals. Physiological
indicators which include heart rate, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and
pacing are those signs that are physiologic in nature or have to do with
bodily processes in application of moderate to vigorous physical activities
(MCPAs).

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 Analyze physiological indicators such as heart rate, rate of perceived

exertion and pacing associated with MVPAs to monitor and/or adjust
participation or effort PEH12FH-IIk-t-9

dance and how did you feel while performing it?
2. Do you find these dances interesting?

3. Are there dances that makes your heart beat fast?

4. What type of dance makes your heart beats fast?

5. What are the emotion/s that you projected when executing these
dances?
6. Why is it important to understand the relationship of executing different
forms of dances with the physiological indicators of performing physical
activities?

I am sure that imagining yourself performing these dances makes your

 heart beat slow or fast. Continue with the activity to know more about
the subject matter.

What’s New

According to the Philippine National Guidelines of Physical Activity, adolescents

should engage in a total of 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activities every
day. Since dance is considered a physical activity, then this can also be applied. An
exercise through dance performed at moderate to vigorous intensity will elevate the
heart rate and breathing significantly. A higher heart rate implies that the activity is
more intense. One of the best ways to set the correct intensity of a dance is by
computing the target heart rate (THR).

When you engage in any type of dance for health and fitness improvements, you
need to monitor the effort you are giving. This is because the effort in doing dances
contributes to the achievement of your fitness goals. Physiological indicators are those
signs that are physiologic in nature or have to do with bodily processes. These include
heart rate, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), and pacing.

How do you find your Heart Rate?

Accurate measurement of dance activity heart rate is crucial in monitoring dance
activity intensity. Although digital heart rate monitors are available and are
reasonably accurate, performing pulse rate measurement is still encouraged. Proper
pulse rate measuring techniques are done at the following:

A. 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.
Photo Credit: Zyrill Ianna Pauline D. Pe Benito

B. Carotid Pulse Site. This pulse is taken from the

carotid artery beside the larynx using light
pressure from the tips of the pointer and middle
fingers. Remember never check both carotid
artery at the same time Photo Credit: Zyrill Ianna Pauline D. Pe Benito

C. Radial Pulse Site. The pulse is taken from the

radial artery at the wrist, in line with the thumb,
using the tips of the pointer and middle fingers.

D. Temporal pulse site. This pulse can sometimes be obtained from

the left or right temple with light pressure from the tips of the
pointer and middle fingers.

Heart Rate (HR), also known as pulse rate. This is the number of times a persons’
heart beats per minute. It indicates the effort your heart is doing based on the
demands you place on your body. The more demanding your physical activity is, the
faster the heart rate. Your resting heart rate (RHR) is the heart pumping the lowest
amount of blood you need because you’re not exercising. If you’re sitting or lying and
your calm, relaxed and aren’t ill, your heart rate is normally between 60 (beats per
minute) and 100 (beats per minute).

The Concept of Threshold of Training and Target Zone

The heart rate provides a good indicator of the relative challenge experienced during
physical activity. Using the heart rate as a physiological indicator, maximal heart rate
(max HR) is typically used. Recommendations for physical activity indicate that
physical activities used as exercises should be between 60 to 85 percent of your max
HR to maintain or improve cardiovascular fitness. This means that for each exerciser,
getting the max HR and the heart rates equivalent to 60 to 85 percent of the max HR
are important in achieving your fitness goals. Think of it as 60% heart rate is your
moderate intensity and 85% heart is the limit of your vigorous intensity. Corbin et al
(2008).

Here are the steps to get your target heart

rate:
1. Estimate your maximal heart rate (max
HR/MHR) according to the following
formula:
MaxHR/MHR = 207 – (0.7 x age)
2. Check your resting heart rate (RHR)
sometime in the evening after sitting
quietly for 15 to 20 minutes. You may take
your pulse for 30 seconds and multiply by
2, or take it for a full minute.
3. Determine heart rate reserve (HRR) using
this formula:
HRR = MHR – RHR
4. Calculate the training intensity at 30, 40,
60, and 85 percent. Multiply
HRR by the respective 0.30, 0.40, 0.60, and
0.85, and then add the HRR to all four
training intensities.
Example:
60% Training Intensity = HRR x 0.60 + RHR
 Threshold of training is the minimum amount of physical activity (frequency,
intensity, time) necessary to produce benefits.

Target Zone defines the upper limits of training and the optimal level of exercise.
Minimum recommendation of training intensity- 60% and the target zone ranging
from 65 to 85 % training intensities.

Activity 2: My Own Heart Rate

Direction: In this activity, compute for your own heart rate. Follow the steps below to
determine your own heart rate. Place your answers in your answer sheet following the
table below.
Computation Answer

MaxHR (Maximum Heart Rate)

RHR (Resting Heart Rate)

HRR (Heart Rate Reserve)

30% Training Intensity

40% Training Intensity

60% Training Intensity

85% Training Intensity

You did it! You were able to compute your own heart rate. Don’t you
 know that we have another way of monitoring the intensity though the
use of a subjective method? Learn more about it on “What is it”.

What is It
Another way of monitoring the intensity is to use the subjective method called Borg’s
Ratings of Perceived Exertion (RPE). Studies show that this subjective rating strongly
correlate to heart rate and other indicators of physical exertion. The ratings scores
range between 6 (No Exertion) to 20 (Maximal Exertion). The target zone for a dance
activity is from 12 to 16.
If you are engaged in physical activity such as
Ratings Perceived Exertion (RPE)
dance, you rate your effort level based on how
Rating Description light or how hard you perceive it. A rating of 6
6-7 Very, very light means that your effort level is “very, very light”
while a rating of 18 means that your effort is
8-9 Very light
more or less “very, very hard.” Think of each
10-11 Fairly light rating in the RPE as a reflection of your heart
12-13 Somewhat hard rate during the physical activity, that is, when
14-15 Hard multiplied by 10. This means that an RPE of 6 is
about a heart rate of 60 while an RPE of 18 is
16-17 Very hard about 180 beats per minute. Since an RPE of 6
18-19 Very, very hard means your heart rate is only at 60 beats per
20 Maximal Exertion minute, your
physical exertion is very minimal, while an RPE
of 18 means that your heart is doing 180 beats per minute, pushing yourself to the
limit.

Activity 3: Rate it this time!

Direction: Rate the different dances according to your perceived exertion. Rank 1 for
the dance that requires the most level of effort and 10 for the least. Use the Ratings
Perceived Exertion (RPE) as reference.

Rate Dance Form Ratings Perceived Exertion (RPE)

Philippine Folk Dance Rating Description
Popular Dance 6-7 Very, very light
Contemporary Dance 8-9 Very light
Ballet 10-11 Fairly light
Cheer dance 12-13 Somewhat hard
 Dancesports 14-15 Hard
Modern Dance 16-17 Very hard
Belly Dance 18-19 Very, very hard
Jazz 20 Maximal Exertion

What’s More

Pace and Pacing. This refer to the rate or speed of doing physical activities. This
means that a person can take it slow when engaged in physical activities or do them
quickly depending on the FITT Principle. The purpose of pacing and goal setting is to
regulate daily activities and to structure an increase in tolerance through gradually
increased activity. Pacing requires that you break an activity up into active and rest
periods. Rest periods are taken before significant increases in pain levels occur.

Activity 4: Project-Based Learning

Direction: Work with your family member and/or relatives at home and create the
pace of performance. Answer this in your activity sheet following the table below.
If you were to pace your family member and/or relatives in a dance activity? How will
you do it?
