• “Physical education is the study, practice, and
appreciation of the art and science of human movement".
While movement is both innate and essential to an
individual's growth and development, it is the role of
physical education to provide instructional activities
that not only promote skill development and
proficiency, but also enhance an individual's overall
health. Physical education not only fulfills a unique role in
education, but is also an integral part of the schooling
process. Walking, lifting weights, doing chores – it’s all good.
Regardless of what you do, regular exercise and physical
activity is the path to health and well-being. Exercise burns
fat, builds muscle, lowers cholesterol, eases stress and
anxiety, lets us sleep restfully.

• Article XIV, section 19, 1986 Constitution of the
Republic of the Philippines”-“The State shall
promote Physical Education and encourage sports
programs, league competitions, and amateur
sports including training for international
competition 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
country and in cooperation with athletic club and
other sectors.”
 HEALTH AND FITNESS
• Fitness involves activity of some sort that stimulates
various systems of the body and maintains a certain
condition within the body. Health, on the other hand,
involves every system of the body and is only
achieved through a lifestyle that supports health.
Physical activity or exercise can improve your health
and reduce the risk of developing several diseases like
type 2 diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Physical activity and exercise can have immediate and
long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular
activity can improve your quality of life.
Do you know the difference between
Fitness and Health?
• Most people believe being healthy and being fit
are one and the same. In reality, they can be
separate states of physical being. You can be
really fit, and not very healthy, and you can be
very healthy and not very fit. The best benefits
are found with trying to get a balance out of
both sides, this requires us to identify the
difference between fitness and health.
• So let’s define the difference. Health has
been defined by the World Health
Organization as a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being, and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity. It includes aging
well, longevity, quality of life, freedom from pain
etc. Fitness, on the other hand, is defined as a
set of attributes that people have or achieve that
relates to the ability to perform physical activity.
The following factors need to be considered when discussing fitness
levels:

• 1.Endurance (Cardiovascular and Cardio-Respiratory): This is your body’s

ability to use and deliver oxygen to your body.
• 2. Stamina (Muscular Endurance): This is your body’s ability to store, process,
and use energy.
• 3. Strength: This is the ability of your muscles or a muscular unit to apply force.
• 4. Flexibility: The ability to maximize the range of motion of a joint.
• 5. Power: The ability of your muscles to maximize their force in a
minimum
amount of time.
• 6. Speed: The ability to minimize the amount of time it takes you to
accomplish
a task or movement.
• 7. Coordination: The ability to combine several different movement
patterns in
a single distinct movement.
• 8. Accuracy: The ability to control a movement in a given direction or
intensity.
• 9. Agility: The ability to minimize the time going from one movement
to another.
• 10.Balance: The ability to control the center of gravity of your body in
relation to your support base.
• Exercise won’t remove the damage from
chemicals, or improve immune system
damage or weakness from depleted foods.
Only sound nutrition can support good health.
Of course, fitness can ALSO support health
and WILL improve health if it is part of a
WAY OF LIFE. Our health is mainly the
result of thousands of daily nutritional
decisions.
• As you continue on your personal health journey, or if you
are just getting back on track, ask yourself this simple
question: “Am I on the road to becoming fit and
healthy, or just fit?” If your answer is “just fit,” try
incorporating other aspects of wellness into a more
comprehensive plan that revolves around the combination of
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. If it is simply
healthy to get the doctor off your back, ask yourself what can
I do to achieve more and live life to the fullest? Healthy is
good but if you can’t walk up the stairs without puffing and
being tired all day, or enjoy a holiday, what’s its worth?
