 Lesson
Health-Related Fitness
1 Body Composition
Everyone needs to be fit in order for them to be able to perform a certain task. Every
day in our life, we are doing different tasks from simple household chores to performing
some skills needed in a particular game. But in order for you to be able to a do a certain
task, you must be able to know first your fitness status.
Knowing your body composition can help you assess your health and fitness level. Often,
you will measure your body composition at the start of a weight-loss or fitness program
and then check it periodically to monitor your progress.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of a person’s weight with respect to his or her
height. It is more of an indicator than a direct measurement of a person’s total body fat.

What’s In

Let’s check how well you know about the components of Health-Related Fitness. Identify
and classify the given pictures below. Write your answer on the space provided.

What is It

Physical Fitness Test is a set of measures designed to determine a student’s level of

physical fitness. It is intended to test two categories of physical fitness commonly
referred to as “health-related” and “skill- related. Health-related components refer to
those physical attributes which enable a person to cope with the requirements of daily
living such as cardio-vascular endurance or stamina, muscular strength and

4
endurance, flexibility and the appropriate body mass index (BMI). Skill-related
components are physical abilities that show potential for good performance in certain

5
skills (usually in sports) like running speed, agility, reaction time or quickness, balance
and coordination.
Health-Related Fitness components focus on factors that promote optimum health and
prevent the onset of disease and problems associated with inactivity.

BODY COMPOSITION – is the body’s relative amount of fat to fat-free mass.

Body Mass Index (BMI) - Is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of
height in meters.
Weight – the heaviness or lightness of a person.
Height – the distance between the feet on the floor to the top of the head in standing
position.
FORMULA FOR COMPUTING BODY MASS INDEX
WEIGHT [in Kilograms] HEIGHT [in Meters]2

CLASSIFICATION
Example: 30 = 30 = 20.83 (NORMAL)
BELOW 18.5 UNDERWEIGHT
(1.20)2 1.44 18.5 – 24.9 NORMAL
25 – 29.9 OVERWEIGHT
30.0 – ABOVE OBESE

Activity 2

Compute your Body Mass Index and identify its classification by following the
procedures below on how to get your height and weight. Write you answer on the
Physical Fitness Test Score Card below.
Weight

Equipment:
Weighing or Bathroom Scale calibrated properly

Procedure:

For you as the test taker:

 Height

Equipment:

1. An even and firm floor and flat wall

2. L – square
3. Tape measure laid flat to a concrete wall. The zero point starts at
the bottom of the floor.

Procedure:
For you:
a. Stand erect on bare feet with heels, buttocks and shoulders pressed against the
wall with tape measure.

For your partner:

a. Place the L-square against the wall with the base at the top of the head of the
person being tested. Make sure that the L-square when placed on the head of
the student, is straight and parallel to the floor.
b. Record the score in meters.

Scoring – record standing height.

* **1 meter = 100 centimeters
