Course Description of PATHFit COURSES

FIRST-YEAR
1ST SEMESTER
PE1: Physical Activities Toward Health and Fitness 1 (PATHFit 1): Movement
Competency Training. (2 units)
This course reintroduces the fundamental movement patterns that consist of non-locomotor and
locomotor skills, which are integrated with core training to meet the demands of functional
fitness and physical activity performance. Emphasis will be on exercise regression and
progression for the enhancement of fitness and the adaptation of movement competencies to
independent physical activity pursuits. In conjunction with fitness and wellness concepts,
exercise, and healthy eating principles, the periodic evaluation will be conducted of one level of
fitness and physical activity, as well as eating patterns to monitor one’s progress and
achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.

2nd SEMESTER
PE2: Physical Activities Toward Health and Fitness 1 (PATHFit 2): Exercise-based Fitness
Activities (2 units)
This course builds on the foundation of motor skills achieved through core training. It will
provide experiences in a variety of exercise programs to maintain and enhance cardiorespiratory
and musculoskeletal fitness (i.e. core stability, muscle strength. Endurance, and power). It
includes speed and agility training with a focus on body coordination and balance. In conjunction
with fitness and wellness concepts, exercise, and healthy eating principles, learners will be able
to enhance their fitness through goal setting and application of the exercise principles(i.e.,
frequency, intensify, time, type, progression, and volume: adapt their movement competencies to
independent physical activity (PA) pursuits and periodically evaluate their (PA) and eating
patterns to monitor their progress and achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.
Prerequisite: PE1/PATHFit 1

2ND YEAR
1ST SEMESTER
PE3: Physical Activities Toward Health and Fitness 1 (PATHFit 3): Menu of Dance Sports,
Group Exercise, Outdoor and Adventure Activities (2 units)
Dance Activities-Philippine Traditional Dances
Learning Philippine Traditional Dances both provide fitness benefits and cultural
sensitivity. The course introduces the nature of dance and its fitness benefits. It involves the
fundamentals techniques that include practical output and presentation of activities. Through
skills training, exercise drills, game play, and independent or self-directed Pas, fitness levels will
be enhanced. In conjunction with this, fitness levels, PA participation, and dietary/eating patterns
are evaluated to monitor one’s progress and achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.
Sports- Basketball:
Basketball is a game played by two teams who score points by getting the ball into the
opposing team’s hoop or basket. Players move the ball by dribbling and passing. This course
tackles the fundamental skills of the sport that include footwork, ball control (dribbling, Passing,
Shooting), individual moves (offense and defense) basic team office and defense. Through skills
training gameplay and independent pursuits of physical activity (PA), fitness levels will be
enhanced. PA and eating habits are so periodically evaluated to monitor one’s progress and
achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.

Martial Arts-Taekwondo
Taekwondo is a Korean martial art turned modern Olympic sport emphasizing kicking
techniques from a mobile stance. The course provides instruction and practice in the different
techniques necessary for the white-belt degree for the learner to experience TAEKWONDO AS
A COMBINATION OF SPORT, EXERCISE, SELF-DEFENSE AND/OR combat, and
philosophy. Through taekwondo, the course:
1. Challenges one’s current capabilities through developmentally appropriate
physical activity (PA) experiences for the improvement and maintenance of
fitness levels;
2. Provides game situations and/or sparring sessions for the adaptation, transfer, and
improvisation of movement skills, sporting techniques, and tactics;
3. Periodically evaluates one’s PA and eating habits as bases for personal goal
setting; planning, and participation in self-directed Pas;
4. Provides opportunities for success through developmentally competitive
experiences.

Outdoor and Adventure Activities

This course on recreational activities is associated with outdoor, natural, or semi-natural
settings that include but are not limited to land navigation (e.g. orienteering), camping, and
mountaineering (e.g. hiking/trekking). These activities enable the learners to move safely
(including first aid) and competently in such settings by building a positive relationship with the
environment and promoting their sustainable use (e.g. Leave No Trace Principles).
The course (1) provides moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) experiences for the
development of fitness through outdoor recreational activities; (2) conducts a periodic evaluation
of fitness levels; PA and eating habits to monitor one’s progress and achievement of personal
fitness and dietary goals, and (3) provides recreational leadership opportunities.

Group Exercise
This course provides fitness benefits and teaches them how to organize a group exercise
class in which they work out, and it is an excellent motivator for encouraging them to increase
their output and get the most out of the class. Yoga, Aerobics, Traditional Games (Team Games),
and other forms of group exercise can be included in this course as an output group exercise. In
conjunction with fitness and wellness concepts, exercise, and healthy eating principles, learners
will be able to enhance their fitness through goal setting and application of the exercise
principles(i.e., frequency, intensify, time, type, progression, and volume: adapt their movement
competencies to independent physical activity (PA) pursuits and periodically evaluate their (PA)
and eating patterns to monitor their progress and achievement of personal fitness and dietary
goals.

increase their output and get the most out of the class. A group exercise class can offer more
encouragement and motivation than working out in a solo environment. Output group exercise
can be present in Yoga, Aerobics, Traditional Games (Team Games), and others. In conjunction
with fitness and wellness concepts, exercise, and healthy eating principles, learners will be able
to enhance their fitness through goal setting and application of the exercise principles(i.e.,
