Philippine games ( SIPA )

Sipa ( Kick or to Kick ) is the Philippines traditional native sport

which predates Spanish rule. The game is related to Sepak takraw.
Similar games include Footbag net, Footvolley, Bossaball and Jianzi.
The game is played by two teams, indoors or outdoors, on a court
that is about the size of a tennis court. The teams consist of one, two or
four players in each side. The aim of the game is to kick a soft ball made
of rattan fragments, back and forth over a net in the middle of the court.
The sport requires speed, agility and ball control.
Sipa is similar to Hacky Sack, the footbag game familiar to Americans.
The difference is the item that is kicked.
Toss the sipa up and kick it with the top, side, or heel of your shoes.
● To use the top of your shoes, let the sipa land on it and gently
bounce it in air with your foot.
● Turn your leg to the side (like your sitting cross-legged) and bounce
the sipa off the side of your shoe.
In home or schools they use either a big bunch of rubber bands
knotted together or a small metal disk that has a fluffy tail of shredded
plastic

Sipa comes from the Philippines and people began referring to it as a
sport during the 15th century.
● What are the rules of sipa?
The sipa is thrown upwards for the player toss using only the legs,
particularly the area from the foot up to just above the knee. The
player must prevent the sipa touching the ground by hitting it several
times. Each hit is counted; the player kicking the sipa most wins the
game.

objective is to keep kicking the ball without allowing it to touch the
ground.
● Rattan ball: Played with a larger ball that is made with woven rattan
strips.
● Simplified: Played with equal number of players on each team
between 1 to 4.
.● Health Related Fitness of SIpa
Increases Strength and endurance: Physical activity can offer your
body with strength and endurance. As the Sepak Takraw game
involves kicking with the head, chest, knee and feet. It is a high
physical activity and offers resistance to your body.
● How important is HRF in participating?
HRF in participating it improves respiratory, cardiovascular health
and over all health. Staying active can also help you maintain a healthy
weight, reduce your risk of type II diabetes, heart disease, and reduce
your risk for some cancers.
● What is the most difficult special kick,kick like a dancing
ballerina in Sipa game?
● Using Black Magic- This is the most difficult special kick, kick
like a dancing ballerina. Just bending your knees to get your leg
to your back and catch the Sipa.
● 2 version in playing Sipa:
● Washer Version- Sipa use a lead washer covered with cloth, which
gets kicked. This version is played by both girls and boys, but girls
tend to use the outside of their foot to manipulate the washer, while
boys more often use the inside foot. Points are scored based on the
number of kicks with out the ball touching the ground. If the ball
touches the ground one point is awarded to the opposing team.
● Rattan ball version- This version uses a larger rattan woven ball
with the same foot action. Sipa balls can be purchase online, which
look like Hacky Sack ball.

 Originally the rattan sipa balls was 10 centimeters in diameter
and of rattan strips with symmetrical holes. The most defining feature
of the game of sipa is that the ball should only be touched with the
legs anywhere from below the knee to the tip of the toes. The rattan
ball can touch the ground.
The FITT Principle of Physical Activity
Frequency- The frequency of exercise refers to the number of times a
physical activity is done in each week. According to the American
College of Sports medicine guideline it is recommended to exercise 3-5
days per week and for more optimal
results, exercise can be done in most days of the week combination of
light moderate and vigorous activity.
Intensity- The rate at which activity is performed called intensity. It
is also referred to as the magnitude of the effort required to perform
an activity or exercise. It is describe how easy or how hard the person
has to work a certain activity. .
The intensity level target may be determined by computing the target
heart rate ( THR ) range based on the results of an exercise stress test,
considering the resting and exercise heart rate, with 60% to 80%
intensity level ( Karvonen’s Formula
Type- The type of activity is determined by following the principle of
progression and specificity. To attain a higher level of fitness, select
the type of physical activity that challenges the body to accept an
increase of work and that answers your need.
Time- Time is the duration or the length of session of a physical
activity. It is inversely related to intensity to the more intense a work
is done, the shorter time it is performed.
The Principle of Physical Activity
Overload Principle – This is the most basic principle that Indicates
doing “More than
Normal” for improvement to happen. In order for a skeletal muscles to
get stronger, additional load must be added and exerts greater than
load what was used to.
Principle of Progression – It is a gradual increase in exerting effort or
load that is done not too slowly not too rapidly, This principle aids safe
and effective results.
Principle of Specificity- This suggest that overloading must
specifically train a design body part for it to improved. For example,
cardiovascular fitness may only improve flexibility to a small degree.
Use the appropriate type of exercise that directly improves your target
muscles.
Principle of Reversibility- Development of muscles will take place if
regular movement and execution is done, and if activity ceases, it will
be reversed. This shows the benefits and changes achieved from

overload will last only if training is continuous. This training effect is
lost if the training is discontinued.

Activity 1:

Directions: Make an actual game of Sipa as physical activity using the

basic skills in maintaining Health Related Fitness (HRF) that increases
your Eye contact, Strength and Endurance.
Using washer version:
● Girls can manipulate the washer using outside of their foot.
