This module provides you all that you need to know about physical fitness. In your
journey through the discussions and different tasks, you are expected to:
1. self-assess health-related fitness (HRF) status, barriers to physical activity assessment
participation and one’s diet (PEH11FH-lg-i-6);
2. sets FITT goals based on training principles to achieve and/or maintain HRF, analyze
physiological indicators such as heart rate, rate of perceived exertion and pacing
associated with MVPAs to monitor and/or adjust participation or effort (PEH11FH-Ik-t-
9);
3. engages in moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA’s) for at least 60 minutes
most days of the week in a variety of settings in and out of school, observe personal
safety protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypo- and hyperthermia during
MVPA participation (PEH11FH-Ik-t-10); and
4. recognizes the value of optimizing one’s health through participation in physical activity
assessments (PEH11FH-Id-t-14).
Direction: To assess what you know about dance and its health benefits, answer the following
questions. Use your answer sheet in answering this activity. Choose the best answer in each
item.
2. It is the state of health and well-being and more specifically, the ability to perform
aspects of task without undue fatigue.
A. Physical fitness C. Mental health

When the body does not have enough fluid needed to function normally, it is
dehydrated. This happens when lost body fluid are not replaced. Dehydration causes a person
to have a dry thirsty mouth, become fatigue, have less urine yield with dark color, and in severe
case, unconsciousness. The usual causes of dehydration are hot weather condition, too much
perspiration, high fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and excessive exercise without taking in fluid. To
nurse dehydration, the body will need to replenish lost fluids and electrolytes. Drink at least
eight glasses during summer months.
Hydration is also the soundest way to prevent dehydration. Prevention is better than
cure, and the ways to prevent dehydration include the intake of adequate fluids, watery fruits
and vegetables and avoiding hot environment.
What’s In
Direction. Write the concepts that come to your mind upon reading the words below.
Now there are safety protocol to avoid dehydration, overexertion, hypothermia, and
hyperthermia during physical activities. For today, you will be able to determine all of them
and be able to understand their risk.
What’s New
It is vital that young people progressively take conscientiousness for their own well-
being. As such, personal safety arrangement is imperative:
DEHYDRATION
Our body becomes out of balance or dehydrated when we lose too much water,
therefore, keeping the body hydrated helps the heart to easily pump more blood through the
blood vessels, to the muscles. In addition, it aids the muscles to work efficiently.
Dehydration can be a severe condition that can lead to problems ranging from swollen
feet or a headache to serious illnesses such as heat stroke.
The signs and symptoms of dehydration range from minor to severe and my include:
• Increased thirst
• Dry mouth and swollen tongue
• Weakness
• Dizziness
• Palpitation
• Confusion
• Slowness
• Fainting
• Incapability to sweat
• Decreased urine excretion
What does be well dehydrated mean? The amount of water a person needs varies on
whether and temperature conditions, clothing worn and exercise intensity and length. A person
who perspires greatly require drinking more than someone who does not. Some medical
conditions such as diabetes or heart disease, may also mean you need to drink more water.
People with cystic fibrosis have high concentrations of sodium in their sweat and need to use
caution to keep away from dehydration. In addition, some medicines can act as diuretics
causing the body to lose more fluid.
Thirst is not the best indicator or sign that you need to drink. You are already
dehydrated if you get thirsty. Paying attention to the color of your urine is another indicator.
Pale and clear means you are well hydrated. If it is dark, drink more fluids. If you want to know
exactly how much you need, weigh yourself before and after exercise to see how much you
have lost through perspiration. For every pound of sweat you lose, you need a pint of water to
replenish. If you are not sweating during vigorous physical activity, it can be a signal that you
are dehydrated to the point of emergent heat exhaustion.
It must be noted that dehydration is not just important during physical activity. Sitting
in the sun on a hot or humid day, even if you are not exercising, can also cause your body to
require more fluids. It is also a good thing to monitor your hydration if you are traveling.
OVEREXERTION
Overexertion injuries can occur when the body is hard pressed further than its limits
during exhausting or extreme exercise, activity, heat, lack of water or food, and other causes.
The ensuing injuries form overexertion can vary from temporary sprains to more stern
health hazards. Although dehydration is the most well-known health concern when t comes to
strains and pains to severe incapacitating situations like cardiac arrest and hypoglycemia or
low blood sugar.
Below are steps you can take to prevent overexertion during summer:
• Know your limits. If you have not been exercising and training for the several months,
build your strength and stamina progressively. It is significant to pace yourself and
know when to say “enough”. If at time, you are breathing profoundly or profusely
sweating, reduce speed, slow down, or take a break.
• Stretch and warm up before any heavy lifting or exhausting activity. Making your body
more flexible can help prevent overexertion. Stretch your body before and after every
physical task that you do daily. Do something less strenuous for 5 to 10 minutes like
walking, running in place, jumping jacks or toe touching. This will help warm up your
muscles and ligaments to help avoid unexpected strains on cold body tissue.
• Lift properly. Avoid back injuries by lifting with your legs bent; kept the object(s) close
to your body; keep away from bending, reaching, and twisting while lifting; and ask
someone for help with large or heavy items.
• Set obtainable goals. When exercising, set a target that you can attain without causing
too much stress on your body. Make sure to take frequent breaks as well.
• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluid prior to and throughout any strenuous activity.
Dehydration is frequently a result of overexertion. Therefore, it is very important to
drink plenty of water each day.
• Rest. This is the easiest way to avert overexertion. This will keep you away from many
overexertion injuries. It is also important to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night.
HYPOTHERMIA
Hypothermia is a life-threatening and serious condition that occurs when your body
loses more heat than it produces causing your temperature to drop below 95°F (35 °C).
Exposures to cold air or water are the most common causes of hypothermia which is why it
often afflicts unprepared campers, hikers, or swimmers.
SYPMTOMS OF HYPOTHERMIA
• Shivering
• Dizziness
• Feeling Hungry
• Rapid Heart Rate
• Tiredness
• Nausea
• Confusion
• Rapid Breathing
• Trouble Forming Words
• Lack of Coordination
SYPMTOMS OF HYPERTHERMIA
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Exhaustion
• Muscle Cramps
• Dark urine-including dehydration
• Abdominal cramps or nausea
• Rapid Heart Rate
• Profuse Sweating
• Clammy Skin
• Fainting
When heat production exceeds heat loss, the body opens its blood vessels; allowing
more blood to pass near the skin to cool down. If a person continues to generate heat without
restoring fluids and salts, hyperthermia will go after. Heat cramps often happen before heat
exhaustion sets in. By the time, a person experiences the consequences of heat exhaustion;
they often have stopped exercising and slowed down their heat production. Usually, heat
exhaustion precedes heat stroke. Since most people stop exercising when they start feeling
sick, they typically do not develop heat stroke.
