Education
Quarter 2 – Module 3
Active Recreation
About the Module
This module is especially crafted to let you understand and know the benefits of
physical fitness through active recreation. In this module, you will reassess your own
fitness level and engage in specific active recreational activities; apply proper
techniques and strategies on how you can improve your overall health and; apply
them in uplifting the overall health and wellness of your family and community.

This module was designed and written to help you explore and experience some
active recreational activities as you go deeper into your journey to becoming the best
version of yourself. This module is divided into 2 lessons:

 Lesson 1 – Functional Training (Introduction)

 Lesson 2 – Functional Training (Performance)

Please take note that each lesson is intended for 2 periods. Take your time in
answering and perform the activities properly and safely.

 Lesson
Functional Training
1 (Introduction)

What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:

1. explain how functional training improves the overall health of a person;

2. perform a self-evaluation of your own functionality; and
3. appreciate the value of the effects of functional training.

What’s In

Think About It!

Are you moving correctly?

What are the common movements do you do every day?
Have you had trouble doing everyday movements?

Movement is a fundamental part of a person’s life. We move to perform tasks,

accomplish things, and influence others. Although people can freely move, often we
do not perform these movements correctly.

Young people tend to move more correctly than when they are older. This is
because people have different genes, habits, and preferences. Thus, older people may
need to do some movement correction.

What’s New & What Is It?

The older a person gets, the more correction they may need. As people aged, they
tend to lose functionality. As such, correcting their movements require time, effort,
and energy through functional training.

Functional Training - Functional fitness training is a type of strength training that
readies your body for daily activities. These exercises equip you for the most
important type of physical fitness, the kind that prepares you for real-life, daily
living stuff like bending, twisting, lifting, loading, pushing, pulling, squatting
and hauling. Most functional fitness contains multi-joint movement patterns
that involve your knees, hips, spine, elbows, wrists, and shoulders, which all
build strength and improve your range of motion.

Functional training:
 trains the core for its purpose.
 is based on movement patterns, not muscles.
 should be multi-planar (involves multiple planes).
 should make you stronger relative to your body weight.

3 Planes of Human Motion

Sagittal Plane Front and Back

Frontal Plane Side to Side
Transverse Plane Rotation

Benefits of Functional Training

 Improves the body's natural ability to move.

 Creates better muscular balance and joint stability.
 Decreases the number of injuries sustained in an individual's performance in
a sport.

Primal Movement – the fundamental movement of the body. It is basically moving

in the ways that we have evolved to; reclaiming our innate ability to move as our
current lifestyle has caused us to become immobile and disconnected from each
other.

The 7 Primal Movements

1. Bend/extend
2. Squat
3. Lunge
4. Rotate/Twist
5. Push
6. Pull
7. Gait

What I Need to Know

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:

1. identify the primal movements;
2. perform basic movement patterns used in functional training; and
3. create series of functional movement patterns.

What’s In

Think About It!

What was the result of your functional evaluation?
What movement did you find easy/hard?
What did you find out about your family’s functionality?

Primal movements are our very basic movements. These movements should be
relatively easy to perform since they follow the movement pattern of our function.
Therefore, performing such movements with difficulty indicates that we have
changed how our body moves and strayed away from its original functions.

What’s New / What Is It?

Since primal movements are the most basic of movements you can produce,
functional training exercises are created with these as guide. Here are some exercises
that follows these movement patterns.

Understanding how the body moves is the first step into making your functional
training exercises. Here are the principles that you must follow in doing functional
training.
Principles of Functional Training
1. Form follows function.
2. Maximize Safety and Success.
3. Make educated and thoughtful decisions.
4. Prioritize movement integration rather than isolation.
5. Assess, prioritize, and train all components of function.
6. Start from the more strenuous and end with the easier exercises.
