still included in college? A lot of you might have asked this
question. So let us study below the legal bases of physical education, and learn why it is
important to be included inAssessments
the tertiary education system.

1.1. The Legal Bases of Physical Education

Here’s the history why Physical Education is still included in the tertiray education
legally.
In 1978, the UNESCO described sport and physical education as a fundamental
right for all: “all forms of physical activity that contribute to physical fitness, mental wellness
and social interaction, such as play, recreation, organized or competitive sport, and
indigenous sports and games.” Furthermore, learning to move and enjoying the freedom of
movement is a human right (UNESCO, 1999).
In April 2011, the United Nations through the Special Adviser on Sport for
Development and Peace officially called upon UN Member States, UN entities, sports
organizations, international and civil society organizations, the academia, the private sector
and media to work in close partnership in recognizing and harnessing the transformative
power of sport and physical education.
Article 14, Section 19 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution mandates that “The State
[to] promote physical education and encourage sports programs, league competitions, and
amateur sports, including training for international competitions to foster self- discipline,
teamwork, and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry. All
educational institutions shall undertake regular sports activities throughout the countries in
cooperation with athletic clubs and other sectors.”
Furthermore, Republic Act No. 5708, known as The Schools Physical Education
and Sports Development Act of 1969 provided for “An integrated physical education and
sports development program in all schools in the Philippines (Section 2)…the goal is to
instill in young citizens a proper appreciation of the importance of physical development
hand in hand with the mental development in individual and social activities (1) and the
provision for “a well-rounded physical education program must be addressed to physical
growth, social training, and personal discipline for all pupils and students as well as
superior athletic achievement for those who are psychologically inclined and physically
gifted (2).”

The Purpose of Tertiary Physical Education

Physical Education, more than any other subject in the curriculum, is much
more direct. It is a subject that is directly applicable and relevant to a learner’s life in
school, out of school and even beyond school. Through PE, the learner can be
more disciplined because the activities and tasks demand physical effort. When the
learner independently engages in physical activities because he understands the
benefits of caring for and nurturing one’s health, he gains self-mastery. This self-
mastery which is accompanied by self-confidence enables the learner to become
more socially involved. This is not to say that individuals who are incapable of
exercise or physical activities are deprived of living a full life, rather, those who are
physically fit and healthy are more disposed to living a life of service for others.

The Goals and Context of Tertiary Physical Education

PE plays a unique role as the only subject in the curriculum that requires
actual participation in physical activities. Since modern society has effectively
engineered moderate-to-vigorous physical activities out of most workplaces, our
homes, community and even in our recreational pursuits, the school ought to be the
last institution to resist this.
The Tertiary PE Program also aims to form constructive behaviors for
managing the stress of academic demands; provide the necessary ‘break’ from
sedentary activities in the classroom; cultivate school loyalty and patriotism through

Finally, the Tertiary PE Program thus provides for appreciation
Concepts
for a variety of expression and and
engagement of physical activities and to ascertain
that opportunities are inclusive of all contexts and learners.
Assessments
The Tertiary PE Program Outcomes
1. Active and healthy living.
2. Advocacy and Promotion

Today that the whole World is still fighting against Covid-19, we can see the
importance of being fit and healthy to overcome the virus, and other diseases. Whereas,
developing both fitness and health is the main focus of teaching Physical Education. We can
note that Physical Education today has been considered as one of the contributing factor to
enhance positive lifestyle changes which lead to a better quality of life. This means that
through physical education, an individual can acquire sufficient knowledge and
understanding, basic skills, and desirable attitudes that will contribute to his well-being. In
the process, one can achieve total fitness which will enable him to avoid common illnesses,
use free-time wisely, practice self-defense, and overcome life’s stresses. Above all, physical
education can contribute towards long and happy life.

1.2. Physical Fitness

Physical Fitness is the body’s ability to function efficiently and effectively. It is
a state of being that consists of at least five health-related and six skill-related
physical fitness components, each of it contributes to total quality of life. It is related
to, but different from, health and wellness. Although the development of physical
fitness is the result of many things, optimal physical fitness is not possible without
regular physical activity. That’s why fitness testing is very crucial and very important
in assessing your fitness status.
Fitness testing is a way of gaining information about the health-related and skill
related components of a person’s fitness. Testing can take place in a number of
environments, with laboratory testing being the most accurate.

Reasons for Fitness Testing

1. To highlight the strengths and weakness of an athlete enabling a training
program to be devised which addresses the findings;
2. To evaluate a training program, to see if it is helping the athlete in
achieving set goal;

Principles of Fitness Testing

In order for fitness testing to be accurate and worthwhile, a number of
principles must be followed:

1. Specificity: Fitness tests must assess an individuals fitness for the

activity or sport in question. For example, there is little point in using a
running endurance test to assess an athletes improvement in cycling
endurance.
2. Validity: Fitness tests must measure the component of fitness that they
are supposed to. For example, is your sit and reach test measuring solely
the flexibility of the hamstrings or are there other factors involved.
3. Objectivity: Sometimes also known as inter-tester reliability. A test that is
objective will produce the same results for the same individual, regardless of
the tester, or technician administering the test.
4. Reliability: A reliable test produces the same results if repeated. For
example, an assessor trained in skin-fold measurements will produce the
same result, when the same area is re-tested shortly after.

1.3. Components of Physical Education

There are two components of Physical Education, the (1) health-related component,
and (2) skill-related component.

A. Health Related Fitness

The components of Health related fitness are basis from which to measure our
general well being.
1. Cardiovascular Endurance - Cardiovascular endurance is also referred to
as aerobic fitness, and is a measure of the athlete’s ability to continue with
exercise which places demands on the circulatory and respiratory system

P A TH F I T 1: M ov e m e nt E nh an c e m e nt Page 2

over a prolonged Fitness
period of time. This occurs in activities such as running,
Concepts and
walking, cycling and swimming.
2. Muscular Strength - Muscular strength is the maximal force that can be
Assessments
applied against a resistance. It could be measured by the largest weight a
person could lift. or the largest body they could push or pull.
3. Muscular Endurance - Muscular endurance differs from muscular strength
in that it is a measure of a person’s ability to repeatedly apply maximal force,
for example in a series of press ups, over a period of time.
4. Flexibility - Flexibility is the measure of free movement in a person’s joints.
This is especially important in gymnastics.
5. Body Composition - Body composition is usually measured by the
percentage body fat a person carries.

B. Performance Related Components

The components of skill-related physical fitness are agility, balance, coordination,
power, reaction time, and speed. They are called skill-related because people who
possess them find it easy to achieve high levels of performance in motor skills, such
as those required in sports and in specific types of jobs.
1. Agility - is the ability to change and control the direction and position of the
body while maintaining a constant, rapid motion. For example, changing
directions to hit a tennis ball.
2. Balance - is the ability to control or stabilize the body when a person is
standing still or moving. For example, in-line skating.
3. Coordination - is the ability to use the senses together with body parts
during movement. For example, dribbling a basketball. Using hands and eyes
together is called hand-eye coordination.
4. Reaction Time - the time elapsed between stimulation and the beginning
or reaction to that stimulation. Driving a racing car and starting a sprint race
require good reaction time.
5. Speed - is the ability to move your body or parts of your body swiftly. Many
sports rely on speed to gain advantage over your opponents.
Example: A basketball player making a fast break to perform a layup,
a tennis player moving forward to get to a drop shot, a football player
out running the defense to receive a pass.
6. Power - is the ability to move the body parts swiftly while applying the
maximum force of the muscles. Power is a combination of both speed and
muscular strength.
Example: Fullbacks in football muscling their way through other
players and speeding to advance the ball and volleyball players
getting up to the net and lifting their bodies high into the air.

Answer this!
Based on the given examples above, provide another example that shows speed and
power.

Assessments
testing. Test protocols vary depending on the physical demands of a person, for
example, an athlete who will be competing for a specific sports. It can be modified to
suit the individual needs of a person.
There are also specific tests for those with special needs, such as the young, elderly,
and obese. The same goes for testing the general population. Depending on what
the purpose of the testing, the current fitness levels, the social group or vocational
group, there will be different tests that you may want to conduct.

Personal Maximum Heart Rate

You will be introduced with several warm-up exercises which you will be
performing before conducting any other physical activity, but before proceeding to the
physical activities, you should know first your PMHR (Personal Maximal Heart Rate)
and THR (Target Heart Rate).

A. A. To get for your Personal Maximal Heart Rate:

Here’s how it is: 220 - age = ______________ PMHR

B. B. To get your Target Moderate Heart Rate (40 - 55%)

Here’s how it is: MHR x 0.4 = _____________bpm
MHR x 0.55 = ______________bpm

C. C. To get your Target Vigorous Heart Rate (60 - 85%)

Here’s how it is: MHR x 0.6 = _____________bpm
MHR x 0.85 = ______________bpm

Activity 1.5 Compute Your PMHR

Compute your PMHR

Compute your target moderate hear rate.

Compute your target vigorous heart rate.

Since one of the most efficient ways to assess your fitness is through
your heart rate, you should always have a record of your heart rate before
and after a physical activity to keep track of your fitness level.
