YEAR 7 HPE 2022 TERM 1

Lesson 1
Learning intentions:
• Students will be able to define and categorise types of physical
activity
• Students will understand national physical activity, sedentary
behavior and sleep recommendations for various levels
• By the end of the lesson you should have completed:
• Worksheet 3.1: Physical Activity is? pg.72-73
• Worksheet 3.2: Active Transport pg. 74-76
WHAT IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY?

Class Discussion:
 What is physical
activity?
 What are some
examples of
physical activity?
 How could we
group these
together?
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IS...
Physical activity (PA) is the movement of large muscle
groups that requires the use of energy.

Sedentary behaviour: a type of activity that does not use

much energy such as sitting.

 There are two types of physical activity;

• Incidental
• Structured or planned

WORKBOOK TASK: Worksheet 3.1: Physical Activity is? pg.72-73

TYPES OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Incidental: unplanned activity

that you do during the day,
usually when you are doing
something else.

Structured or Planned: activity

that is planned; exercise,
recreational and organised
sports.
CLASS TASK: Brainstorm all the things that you would consider to
be physical activity. Categorise these activities into incidental or
structured, and allocate them a domain of Physical Activity.

INCIDENTAL PHYSICAL STRUCTURED PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

ACTIVITY
DOMAINS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
The places where you are active are called domains. There are four domains in which all
activities take place:

DOMAIN DESCRIPTION

Leisure-Time Activity This refers to what you do in your spare time. You choose the activity you would like
to do and you so it for your own enjoyment.
Occupational This refers to activity that is done as part of your job or work.
Some jobs have high levels of activity- labourers, PE teachers, personal trainers,
whilst dome jobs have very sedentary jobs- office staff sitting at a desk
Household/gardening This refers to the things you do around the house and garden.
Vacuuming, sweeping the floor, hanging out the washing, weeding the garden and
raking the leaves.
Active Transport This refers to physical activity undertaken to reach a destination. Walking, cycling,
scootering and skating to work, school, etc.
AUSTRALIAN 24-HOUR MOVEMENT GUIDELINES
FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE 5 -17 YEARS
 To help Australian’s understand how much activity is necessary for health
and how often should occur, the Australian 24-Hour Movement
Guidelines for Children and Young People 5 -17 years have been
developed. REALITY CHECK!
It is important to remember that these

Lesson 2
Learning intentions:
• Students investigate the dimensions of physical
activity (F.I.T.T.) and the ways in which heart
rate and physical activity intensity can be
measured.

• By the end of the lesson you should have

completed:
• Worksheet 3.3: Heart Rate pg.77
• Worksheet 3.4: Wheel of Wellbeing pg.78
DIMENSIONS OF PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
 F.I.T.T. is an acronym that describes the four dimensions of physical activity:

F: Frequency, how often people need to be active (days per week)

I: Intensity, how hard the activity needs to be
T: Time, how long the activity should be done for
T: Type, the type of activity done (e.g. running)

 The Australian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Young People 5 -
17 years is also described in terms of the F.I.T.T. dimensions, allowing people to
clarify whether or not they are meeting the guidelines with more accuracy.

SEDENTARY BEHAVIOUR
 Sedentary behaviour involves sitting or staying in one place for long periods of
time, where only small amounts of energy are used.
 Often people who meet the physical activity may not meet the sedentary behaviour
guidelines.
 Minimising the amount of sedentary in your day is important for your health and
wellbeing.
 A small change you could make is using the stairs rather than the lift or escalator.
 What other changes could you make to reduce your sedentary behaviour?

Lesson 3
Learning intentions:
• Students investigate physical, social,
emotional and spiritual health benefits of
regular physical activity participation.

• By the end of the lesson you should have

completed:
• Worksheet 3.6: Reducing the Risk of
Cardiovascular Disease pg.80
• Worksheet 3.8: Components of Health pg.83
BENEFITS OF REGULAR PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
 Physical Activity has many physical, social, emotional,
cognitive and spiritual benefits, and are considered all parts of
health and wellness.
 The World Health Organisation defines health as “a state of
complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not
merely the absence of disease”.
 Wellbeing is how a person feels about life and how effectively
they can function. A person who is “well” is satisfied at school
or work, is spiritually fulfilled, enjoys leisure time, is
physically fit, is socially involved and has a positive emotional
outlook
PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
 Fitness is specific to each person and your daily tasks
might not involve much energy at all, so you might not
require the same level of fitness as an Olympic athlete
who runs 15km a day!
 The benefits of physical activity depends on the
frequency, intensity and type of activity.

REALITY CHECK!
Did you know that the amount of physical activity an individual
does is the greatest indicator of health? That’s right, being
overweight or fat doesn’t mean you are unhealthy but excess
weight is correlated to other health conditions, not a causation!

SOCIAL BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY

 Social health is your ability to make and keep healthy

relationships with the people around you, such as family and
friends.
 You are socially healthy when you have a network of people
that you can rely on for support and sharing life experiences.
 These might be family or friends who you talk to every day,
or school counsellors who you talk to when you need them.
 Why is it important to have a range of people to talk to,
including adults as well as friends?
EMOTIONAL BENEFITS OF
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
 Emotional health is the ability to recognize, understand and effectively
manage your emotions and to use this knowledge when thinking,
feeling and acting.
 Regular physical activity can reduce stress, anxiety and depression and
has been shown to have a positive effect on self-esteem and sleep
habits.

REALITY CHECK!
Life as a teenager is not always happy,
and there will be times when you have to
face situations that are difficult to deal
with emotionally. The ability to thrive
despite these challenges depends on
your resilience.
COGNITIVE BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
 Cognitive health is the ability to think, learn
and remember. It is the basis for how you
reason, judge, concentrate, plan and
organise, so it is very important!
 Regular physical activity improves memory,
learning, decision making and allows you to
think more clearly and learn more
effectively.
SPIRITUAL BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

 Spiritual health refers to a persons sense of belonging,

meaning and purpose in life.
 For some people this may involve their religion beliefs
and faith; for others is may be a sense of inner peace.
 Many cultures believe the mind, body and spirit are all
connected, so being physically active means that people
are more likely to make connections and be aware of
their spirituality.

Learning intentions:
• Students investigate influences on physical
activity participation

• By the end of the lesson you should have

completed:
• Worksheet 3.9: Factors for Participation
pg.84
• Worksheet 3.11: Class Survey pg.86-88
INFLUENCES ON PARTICIPATION IN
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
 Although it is important to be physically active, there are many
opportunities to be active and many choices to make.
Understanding how and why you choose which activities to
participate can be influenced by a number of factors.
 Social influences: these are the people who you are active with
or who encourage and support you to be active. Parents can be
great role models as by being active themselves- this sets a
good example.
 Cultural influences: Australia is a country with many cultures
and long-established traditions. Physical activity forms a part
of all cultures- Dance is an important and unique part of the
traditional ceremonies amongst the Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people.

AUSTRALIA’S PARTICIPATION IN
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
 The most recent data on children and adolescent physical activity data comes
from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2011-2012) and found that most
young people were not meeting the guidelines for physical activity.
 Why do you think this is the case?
AUSTRALIA’S PARTICIPATION IN
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
 Research shows that the percentage of those meeting the guidelines decreases
as age increases (Figure 3.17). In addition, there are significant differences
between Indigenous youth and non-Indigenous youth meeting the guidelines
(Figure 3.19).
 Why do you think this is the case?

Lesson 5
Learning intentions:
• Students investigate how the environment and
infrastructure can influence physical activity.

• By the end of the lesson you should have

completed:
• Worksheet 3.12: Environment and Physical
Activity pg.89
THE ENVIRONMENT AND PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY
 Research has found that communities that have lots of outdoor spaces (parks,
playgrounds, walking tracks, bike paths, recreational facilities) have higher rates of
physical activity than those with fewer recreational facilities.
 Local communities provide infrastructure and opportunities for residents to
participate in physical activity in their local area. These may include:
1. Aquatic facilities
2. Sports grounds
3. Walking tracks
4. Bike paths
5. Skate parks
