FITNESS
What is PHYSICAL
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

 PHYSICAL EDUCATION

PHYSICAL
FITNESS
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical Education is the optimum
development of an individual
physically, emotionally, socially and
mentally through properly-selected
physical activities.
 FITNESS

Fitness is defined as a condition in

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

Physical Fitness is the body’s

ability to function effectively and
efficiently without undue fatigue in
work, leisure 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
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. Components:
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
perform work.
 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, stretching
 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
disease and stroke
 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
increases energy level and academic
achievement
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS TEST
1. Speed
– is the ability to perform a movement in
one direction in the shortest period of time

a. 40 meters sprint – to measure running

speed
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS TEST
2. Power
– is the ability of the muscle to transfer
energy and release maximum force at a
fast rate
a. Standing Long Jump – to measure the leg
strength and power
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS TEST
3. Agility
– is the ability to move in different
directions quickly using a combination of
balance, coordination, speed, strength and
endurance

body to move in different directions quickly
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS TEST
4. Reaction Time
– is the amount of time to respond to a
stimulus

a. Stick Drop Test – to measure the time to

respond to a stimulus
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS TEST
5. Coordination
– is the ability to use the senses with the
body parts to perform motor tasks
smoothly and accurately
a. Juggling – to measure the coordination
of the eye and hand
SKILL-RELATED FITNESS TEST
6. Balance
– is the maintenance of equilibrium while
stationary or while moving

a. Stork Balance Stand Test – to assess

one’s ability to maintain equilibrium
