EXERCISE PROGRAM
Warm – up exercise – is always the initial
phase of any exercise program.

Flexible Exercise – Involves stretching all

muscles group with attention to specific
muscles that are used in daily physical
activities.
 TYPES OF
STRETCHING
TYPES OF STRETCHING

PASSIVE ASSISSTED STRETCHING - involves

relaxing a body parts and allow the partner to move the
limb to stretch and gain a new range of movement.

STATIC STRETCHING – slowly stretching a segment

of the body to the farthest point and holding that position
for a certain period of time.
TYPES OF STRETCHING

BALLISTIC STRETCHING - involves a sudden,

bouncing rhythmic movement of a specific part of
the body.
MAJOR CATEGORIES OF
STRETCHING TRAINING
MAJOR CATEGORIES OF STRETCHING TRAINING

DYNAMIC STRENGTH TRAINING

STATIC STRENGTH TRAINING

DYNAMIC STRENGTH TRAINING

- It involves muscles that change in

length during an exercise.
TWO TYPES DYNAMIC STRENGTH TRAINING

- ISOTONIC CONTRACTION

- ISOKENETIC
CONTRACTION
ISOTONIC CONTRACTION

- it involves alternate and

lengthening of muscles contract
against a resistance while the
load remains constant.
- ISOKENETIC CONTRACTION

- also similar to isotonic

contraction but the muscles are
exposed to fixed machine with
varying degrees of resistance.
STATIC STRENGTH TRAINING

- involves muscle that does not change

in length during contraction
CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE TRAINING EXERCISE:

• Aerobic Dancing
• Rope Skipping
• Continues Running
COOL-DOWN EXERCISE – serve to
gradually relax the body from the stress
of exercise.
PHASES OF COOL-DOWN

COOL-DOWN STRETCH – involves

stretching of specific body parts, to prevent
muscles from tightening too quickly. It may last
5 – 10 minutes.
BODY COOL DOWN – involves activity that
will allow the heart rate to gradually return to its
normal rate.
There are safety guidelines
before the Physical Fitness
Test
• Students must first undergo medical check-up
by the school physician.

• Warm-up 5 to 10mins before the test

Avoid heavy meal two hours before the test
• Wear the proper sports outfit or Physical
Education uniform.

• Count the pulse rate at rest before the test. The

initial pulse is should not be more than 120
beats.
