EDUCATION?
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
is instruction in physical exercise and
games, especially in schools.
UNIT I: HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS

This unit is designed to explore

knowledge and skills that will help you

habit of physical fitness and wellness.
BENEFITS OF BEING FIT & HEALTHY
Helps you get through with the stresses and
demands of life

Clarifies your self-concept which can
only be realized as you get older
 HRF activities play a
vital role in the holistic
development of a
person.
ACTIVITY 2-A: WHERE AM I?
Let’s play a brain teasing fun game called
“Word Scramble.” Find words from the
jumbled letters that refer to components
associated with Health-related Fitness.
Write these words in your notebook and try
to define each.

an individual has enough energy to avoid
fatigue and enjoy life.

Physical Fitness is the ability of our body

to respond to the many demands
of life with extra energy for leisure and
recreational activities.
 BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a test to

evaluate or diagnose the state of
physical fitness of an individual.
 BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)

Formula for BMI:

weight (in kilograms)
height (in meters)2
 BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
Classification:
Below 18.5 – Underweight
18.6 – 24.9 – Normal weight
25 – 29.9 – Overweight
30 and above – Obese
 COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
1. Cardiovascular – refers to the heart rate of a person
2. Endurance – the ability to apply strength for a long
period of time
3. Strength – the ability to exert force
4. Flexibility – the capability of the muscles to twist or bend
5. Body Composition – the main target of Physical Fitness to be
developed
PHYSICAL FITNESS TEST OBJECTIVES
1. To determine the level of fitness of students
2. To identify strength and weaknesses for development and
improvement
3. To provide baseline data for selection of physical activities for
enhancement of health and skill performance
4. To gather data for the development of norms and standards
5. To motivate, guide and counsel students in selecting sports for
recreation, competition and lifetime participation
Health-related fitness (HRF) is the
ability to become and stay physically
healthy.
1. Cardiovascular fitness
2. Muscular strength and endurance
3. Flexibility
4. Body composition
Skill-related fitness (SRF) focuses on
the performance in a sport.
Components:
1. Agility 4. Speed
2. Balance 5. Coordination
3. Power 6. Reaction Time
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
1. Cardiovascular fitness
– the ability of the heart and lungs
and blood vessels to deliver oxygen
to working muscles and tissues as
well as the ability of those muscles
and tissues to utilize the oxygen
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
1. Cardiovascular fitness
Examples:
a. Running
b. Cycling
c. Step-test
d. Swimming
e. Brisk walking
 COMPONENTS OF

HRF

2. Muscular strength
and endurance
is the muscle’s ability
produce effort or
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
2. Muscular strength
refers to the maximum
amount of force a muscle
can exert against an
opposing force.
Ex.: Using weights (bench
press, leg press, etc.)
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
2. Muscular strength
a. Push-up – to measure strength of the
upper extremities
b. Basic Plank – to measure strength /
stability of the muscles
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
2. Muscular endurance
refers to the ability of the
muscles to do repeated work
over an extended period of
time without fatigue.
Ex.: Pushups, sit-ups or crunches
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
2. Muscular endurance
Examples:
a. 3-minute Step Test
b. Pushups
c. Sit-ups or crunches for one
minute
 COMPONENTS OF HRF
3. Flexibility
is the ability to move a
body part through a
full range of motion
(ROM) at a joint.
Ex.: sit-and-reach,
 COMPONENTS OF HRF

4. Body Composition
is the ratio of body fat to lean body
mass (including water, bones, muscles, and
connective tissues).
Ex.: Aerobics
 What are the
benefits of health-
related fitness?
 BENEFITS OF
HRF
improves quality of life
increases muscle tone and strength
decreases susceptibility to injuries
and illness
improves bone mineral density
 BENEFITS OF
HRF
reduces risk of osteoporosis
improves posture
increases efficiency of the respiratory
and circulatory systems
decreases risk of cardiovascular
 BENEFITS OF
HRF
improves blood pressure
decreases risk of diabetes and some
cancers
improves self-esteem and self-
confidence
 BENEFITS OF
HRF
decreases body fat and improves
metabolism
