1. Define Physical Education

 Physical Education is "education through the physical". It
aims to develop students' physical competence and knowledge
of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to
perform in a wide range of activities associated with the
development of an active and healthy lifestyle.
2. Define Physical Fitness
 Physical fitness involves the performance of the heart and
lungs, and the muscles of the body. And, since what we do
with our bodies also affects what we can do with our minds,
fitness influences to some degree qualities such as mental
alertness and emotional stability.
3. Enumerate the 8 components of physical fitness and define
each
1. Cardiovascular Endurance
Commonly referred to as ‘Cardio’, this is still the
most commonly perceived determination of someone’s
overall fitness although as we can see this component,
although very important, only represents 11% (1/9) of
our overall fitness. It is defined as the body’s
ability to deliver blood to its working muscles.
2. Local Muscle Endurance
Muscle endurance is commonly mistaken for cardio
fitness however it is very different by definition: A
single muscles ability to perform sustained work. This
along with cardio would be a common perception for
overall fitness.
3. Strength
Strength would be the traditional area of fitness that
people associate with being strong. It is defined as
the extent to which muscles can exert force by
contracting against resistance.
4. Strength – Endurance
Strength’s sister is Strength-Endurance; it is very
similar to strength except it is a muscle’s ability to
perform maximum contraction time after time.
5. Power
Power is strength with a little more speed and is
defined as: The ability to exert maximum muscular
contraction instantly in an explosive burst of
movements.
6. Flexibility
In my opinion one of the biggest keys to unlocking
maximal performance is flexibility which is defined as
the ability to achieve an extended range of motion
without being impeded by excess tissue.
7. Balance
The ability to control the body’s positioning either a
stationary or moving position.
8. Agility
 Agility is the ability to perform a series of
explosive power movements in rapid succession in
opposing directions.

4. Define Gymnastic
 Gymnastics is a fun activity that is the foundation for all
sports and physical activity. Gymnastics teaches
participants how to move, roll, jump, swing and turn upside
down. Gymnastics is an exciting activity and sport for its
unique contribution to general fitness, coordination,
agility, strength, balance and speed.
5. Brief history of Gymnastic
 The earliest recorded activities in gymnastics were some
exercises, stunts, and tumbling resembling gymnastics.
Hanging, climbing ropes, swinging, balancing on stone and
logs, flipping, and turning were common activities during
the early civilizations. The Chinese had a sort of exercise
called the "Kung fu" or "Medical Gymnastics", while India
had the "Yoga". The Greeks had activities with apparatuses
and they developed the word "gymnastics" which meant "Naked
Art". The pictures on stones found in Egypt are evidences
of the Egyptian participation in some sort of balancing
activities. The pyramids were inspirations of the pyramid
activities in Gymnastics. The Roman, because of their love
of war, devised a wooden equipment similar to the back of a
horse where they could practice mounting and dismounting a
horse indoor. This equipment is now being used in the class
activities and skils in its use is one of the event s in
the competitive gymnastics.
6. Phases of Gymnastic Program
 Conditioning Program
The exercises are selected for the purpose of
preparing the body for more complicated movements and
skills. Exercises for warm-up can also be selected in
this phase. This phase can also be considered as
"Calisthenics" since routines can be made out of the
exercises in the conditioning program.
 Rhythmic Gymnastics
Routines or Exercises accompanied with music.
Performed in a rhythmical manner and the movements are
flowing. This phase includes free hand exercise, and
all exercises with the use of light apparatuses such
as wands, rings, hoops, ribbons, ropes, etc. This is
where the performer can create and develop her own
routine according to her abilities.
 Stunts
activities in the form of play and they test one's
strength, flexibility, balance, agility, endurance and
coordination. This phase is specially suited to the
lower grades. Some stunts can be considered as
conditioning exercise and still some are preparatory
stunts to tumbling skills.
 Tumbling
most important phase of the gymnastics program,
because this is where the ability of the performer is
tested as he rolls to and from twists, turns, and
springs about on the mat, floor, and in the air.
 Apparatus Exercise (Heavy)
exercises done on the balance beam, vaulting horse,
parallel bars, uneven bars, rings, and the trampoline.
 Pyramid Building
This phase of the program makes pictures (mural) out
of body static positions. The positions should be
properly arranged and selected so that they form the
shape of pyramid.
