Review Questions:
1. What is your concept of Physical Education?
2. How physical education can develop a total person?
3. Why Physical Education is an integral part of the Philippine Educational System?
4. Is Physical education plays an important role in life of every individual? Explain
thoroughly.
the development of the potentialities of the individual so that he can attain total
fitness to enable him to enjoy the “good life”. Therefore, the major goal of physical
education is fitness (Andin, 1988)
Terms:
Quality of Life – a term used to describe wellness. An individual with quality of life
can enjoyable of the activities of life with little or no limitation and can function
independently. Individual quality of requires a pleasant and supportive community.
Physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle seriously threaten our health and hasten the
deterioration rate of the human body.
Exercise is a type of physical activity that requires “planned, structured and repetitive
bodily movement to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness”
examples of exercises are walking, running, cycling, aerobics, swimming and strength
training. These are done for the purpose of getting physically fit.
Key terms:
Wellness
Good health is no longer viewed as simply the absence of illness. The notion
off good health has evolved notably in the last few years and continues to change as
scientist learn more about lifestyle factors that bring in illness and affect wellness. Once
the idea took hold that fitness by itself would not always decrease the risk for disease
and ensure better health, the wellness concept developed in the 1980s.
The term wellness is an all – inclusive umbrella covering several components
that are conducive to health. Wellness living requires implementing positive programs to
change behavior to improve health and quality of life, prolong life and achieve total well
– being.
work effectively and to make a significant contribution to the society. Wellness reflects
how one feels (a sense of well – being) about life as well as one’s ability to function
effectively. Wellness as opposed to illness (a negative) is sometimes described as the
positive component of good health.
The relationship between adequate fitness and wellness is illustrated in the wellness
continuum in even through an individual tested in a fitness center may demonstrate
adequate or even excellent fitness, indulgence in unhealthy lifestyle behaviors will still
increase the risk for chronic disease and diminish the person’s well – being.
10. Lower the risk of chronic disease and illness (such as cardiovascular disease
and cancer)
11. Decrease the mortality rate from chronic diseases
12. Thins the blood so it doesn’t clot as readily (thereby decreasing the risk for
coronary heart disease and strokes).
13. Helps the body manage cholesterol levels more effectively
14. Prevents or delays the development of high blood pressure and lower blood
pressure in people with hypertension
15. Helps prevent and control diabetes
16. Helps Achieves peak bone mass in young adults and maintain bone mass
later in life, thereby decreasing the risk for osteoporosis
17. Helps prevent chronic back pain
21. Improves self – image and morale and helps fight depression and anxiety
22. Motivates a person toward positive lifestyle changes (better nutrition, quitting
smoking and alcohol and drug abuse control)
23. Speeds recovery time following physical exertion
Health is defined as the state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well –
being and not merely an absence of disease and infirmity. Physical condition in which an
individual has sufficient energy and vitality can accomplish daily task and active recreational
pursuits without undue fatigue.
Health Lifestyles
3. Managing Stress
The two (2) health objectives emphasize increased quality and years of
healthy life and they seek to eliminate health disparities among all group of people.
The objectives address three (3) important points:
1. Personal Responsibility – Individuals need to become ever more health
conscious. Responsible and informed behavior are the key to good health.
2. Health Benefits for all People – Lower socio –economic conditions and poor
health often are interrelated. Extending the benefits of good health to all
people is crucial to the health of the nation.
3. Health Promotion and Disease Prevention – A shift from treatment to preventive
techniques will drastically cut health – care cost and help all people to achieve a
better quality of life.
Physical Fitness
As fitness concept grew during the 1970’s, it became clear that no single test was
sufficient to assess the overall physical fitness. Thus, various definitions regarding
physical fitness are developed.
Physical Fitness is the ability to meet the ordinary as well as the unusual demands of
daily life safety and effectively without being overly fatigued and still have energy left for
leisure and recreational activities (Hoeger and Hoeger, 2000).
11
Fitness Principles
Frequency. How often? The number of days a person exercises per week. Exercise can
be performed regularly to be effective. Example frequency depends on the specific
component to be developed. However, most fitness components require at least three
(3) days and up to six (6) days of activity per week.
Intensity. How hard? Exercise must be hard enough to require more exertion than
normal to produce gains in health – related fitness. The method for determining
12
appropriate intensity varies with each aspect of method for determining appropriate
intensity varies each aspect of fitness. For example, flexibility requires stretching
muscles beyond normal length, cardiovascular fitness requires elevating the rate above
the normal and strength requires increasing the resistance more than the normal.
Time/Duration. How long? Exercise must be done for a significant length of time to be
effective. Generally, an exercise period must be attest fifteen (15) minutes in length to be
effective, while longer times are recommended for optimal fitness gains.as the length of
time increases, intensities exercises may be decreased.
Type of Physical Activity/Physical Activity Pyramid. The type of physical activity you
perform is important. The Physical Activity Pyramid is a good way to illustrate the
different types of activities as how each contribute to the development of physical
fitness (see Figure 3).
Overload. Refers to the amount of exercise that is needed to improve fitness levels. For
the body to improve, it must be made to perform harder than it is accustomed to. This
additional exercise can be considered a stepping stone to another level of achievement.
If the body is never require working at an overload level and then the best that can be
achieved is to maintain the current level of fitness.
Progression. How overload should take place? A corollary of overload principle that
indicates the need to gradually increase overload to achieve optimal benefits.an increase
in the level of exercise whether it be to run father or to add more resistance, must be
done in a progression. This enables the body to slowly adapt to the overload, thus
eventually making the overload normal. Once this is too fast or too intense, the body will
not be able to work at the new level and improvement may not occur.
Specificity. A corollary of the overload principle that indicates a need for a specific type
of exercise to improve each fitness component or fitness of a specific part of the body.
Reversibility. A corollary of the overload principle that indicates that disuse or inactivity results
in loss of benefits achieved as a result of overload.
13
Physical Education as a subject in the curriculum is taken during elementary, junior and senior
high school and in the tertiary level. It encourages psychomotor learning in a play or
movement exploration setting to promote health.
Physical Education (PE) develops the skills, knowledge, values and attitudes needed for
establishing and enjoying an active and healthy lifestyle, as well as building student
confidence and competence in facing challenges as individuals and in groups or teams,
through a wide range of learning activities.
Quality physical education programs are needed to increase the physical competence,
health-related fitness, self-responsibility and enjoyment of physical activity for all students so
that they can be physically active for a lifetime. Physical education programs can only provide
these benefits if they are well-planned and well-implemented.
15
Skill Development: Develops motor skills, which allow for safe, successful and satisfying
participation in physical activities.
Stress Reduction: Physical activity becomes an outlet for releasing tension and anxiety, and
facilitates emotional stability and resilience.
Experience Setting Goals: Physical education provides children the opportunity to set and
strive for personal, achievable goals.
Different people differ in their concept of fitness. In the field of physical education, the concept
of fitness has implication to physical, social, emotional and mental well – being. Considering
the four aspects, it can be sad that fitness is the ability to live a healthy, satisfying and useful
life. This kind of life is what the educational philosopher and thinkers’ term as the “good life”.
This is the ultimate goal of education.
To live the “good life” means that an individual satisfies his basic needs as physical well –
being, love, affection, security and self – respect. He lives happily with other people because
he likes them and is interested in them. He has an interest and desire to serve humanity and
believes in and exemplifies high ethical standards. Because of his close relationship with
people and future events he lives an interesting and exciting life.
Physical Fitness is considered as a measure of the body’s ability to function efficiently and
effectively in work and leisure activities, to be healthy, to resist hypokinetic diseases, and to
respond to emergency situations.
Physical Fitness is defined as the state of general wellbeing, physically sound and healthy,
along with mental stability. Previously, Fitness was commonly defined as the capacity of the
person to meet the physical demands of daily life and carry out the day’s activities without
undue fatigue.
Physical Fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of
dynamic and creative intellectual activity,
17
Health – Related Fitness. Is the ability to perform daily activities with vigor and is related to a
low risk chronic disease. It is directly associated with good health. Health – related fitness is
characterized by moderate and regular physical activity. It is generally designed for the
masses that are generally unwilling to exercise at high intensities. Health – related fitness
activities can be integrated into regular everyday activities that are characterized as lifetime
activities.
Health – related fitness includes of physiological function that offer protection from diseases
resulting from a sedentary lifestyle. Health – related fitness is often called functional fitness
because it helps ensure a person to be able to function effectively in everyday task. Such
fitness can be improved and/or maintained through regular and moderate physical activity.
It is more associated with performance. People who possess them find it easy to achieve high
levels of performance in motor skills, such as those required in sports and in specific types of
jobs. Skill – related fitness includes the health-related components, but includes additional
components that are come what related to genetic factors. Skill – related fitness is the right
choice for people who want to perform at a high level, nut it is less acceptable for the
intensities. In addition, many individuals cannot high levels of skill – related fitness because of
their genetic limitations.
Cardiovascular Fitness. The ability of the heart, blood of the vessels, blood and
respiratory system to supply fuel, especially oxygenated blood, to the muscle and the ability of
the muscles to utilized fuel to allow sustained exercise. A fit person can persist in physical
activity for relatively long periods without undue stress.
19
Body Composition. The relative percentage of muscle, fat and other tissues of which the
body is composed. A fit person has relatively low, but not too low percentage of body.
Muscular Endurance. The ability of the muscles to repeatedly exert themselves. A fit person
can repeat movements in a long period without undue fatigue.
Muscular Strength. The ability to exert an external force or to lift a heavy weight. A fit person
can do work or play that involves in exerting force, such as lifting or controlling one’s body
weight.
Agility. The ability to rapidly and accurately change the direction of the movement of the entire
body in space. Skiing and wrestling are good examples of activities that require exceptional
agility.
22
Speed. The ability to perform a movement in a short period of time. A runner on a track team
or a wide receiver on a football team needs good foot and leg speed.
Power. The ability to transfer energy into force at a fast rate. Throwing the discuss and putting
the shot are activities that require considerable power.
Coordination– Making movements work together smoothly. This usually consists of upper
and lower body movements being performed at the same time. (Ex. Table Tennis, Soccer and
Badminton).

Analysis Did you honestly answer the PAR-Q and Individual Health
Appraisal Forms?
What is you resting heart rate in 60 secs; 30 secs; and 10 secs?
What is your observation when you get your RHR?
What are the range of your THR?
What is your BMI score and classification?
A PAR-Q and Individual Health Appraisal must be answered by all students to better known
health situation of students before the activities begin. A lecture on how to get the needed
data is provided.
Heart Rate (HR) – is stated as the number of times the heart beats in one (1) minute. The
rate at which your heart beats during the exercise determines which energy system your
body uses and what type of fitness you develop.
Resting Heart Rate (RHR) – is the rate at which then heart beats when a person is at
complete rest. The best time to determine RHR is before getting of bed in the morning. The
average RHR for adult ranges 60 to 80 bpm; children are slightly higher, the rate for the
average 8-year-old ranges between 80 and 100 bpm.
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) – is the maximum number of beats the heart can beats in
one (1) minute. The most common formula used is Karvonen Method.
Heart Rate Reserve (HRR) – refers to the range between resting and maximum heart rate
Target Heart Rate (THR) – refers to the heart rate needed to gain a training benefit. The
THR is divided into five (5) different levels or zone based on the percentage of MHR
achieved. Each zone represents a different type of training.
Exercise Pulse Rate (EPR) – refers to the heart rate during exercise.

Form 2
Activity 2
Although exercise testing and exercise participation are relatively safe for most
apparently healthy individuals, the reaction of the cardiovascular system to increase physical
activity cannot always be predicted. Consequently, a person takes a small but real risk of
certain changes occurring during exercise testing or participation. These changes may
include abdominal blood pressure, irregular heart rhythm, fainting and in rare instances a
heart attack or cardiac arrest.
Exercise may be ill – advised under some of the conditions listed below, others simply
may require special consideration. If any of the conditions apply, consult your physician
before you participate in an exercise program. Also, promptly report to your instruction
any exercise related abnormalities that you may experience during exercise participation.
A. Have you ever had or do you now have any of the following conditions?
○ 1. Myocardial infarction
○ 6. Shortness of breath
28
○ 6. Anorexia
○ 7. Bulimia
○ 8. Mononucleosis
○ 9. Blood embolism
○ 10. Thrombophlebitis
○ 13. Stroke
○ 14. Diabetes
○ 15. Family history of coronary heart disease, syncope or sudden death before age
○ 16. Any other heart problem that makes exercise unsafe with safe participation in exercise

Listed below are the different Fitness Stations that will to your group. Study the mechanics
well and proper execution of the test. Remember, you and your group members are
responsible in the proper conduct of this test during the pre-test and post-test. The success
and credibility of the scores depends on how you facilitate the test.
The 20m multistage fitness test (MSFT) is a commonly used maximal running aerobic
fitness test. It is also known as the 20-meter shuttle run test, beep or bleep test among other
names.
Equipment required: Flat, non-slip surface, marking cones, 20m measuring tape, beep
test audio, music player, recording sheets.
Pre-test: Explain the test procedures to the subject (many beep test audios have
an explanation at the start of the recording). Perform screening of health risks and
34
obtain informed consent. Prepare forms and record basic information such as age,
height, body weight, gender, test conditions (particularly the weather and running
surface). Measure and mark out the course. Ensure that the subjects are adequately
warmed- up.
Procedure: This test involves continuous running between two lines 20m apart in time
to recorded beeps. For this reason, the test is also often called the 'beep' or 'bleep' test. The
participants stand behind one of the lines facing the second line, and begin running when
instructed by the recording. The speed at the s tart is quite slow. The subject continues
running between the two lines, turning when signalled by the recorded beeps. After about one
minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed, and the beeps will be closer together. This
continues each minute (level). If the line is reached before the beep sounds, the subject must
wait until the beep sounds before continuing. If the line is not reached before the beep sounds,
the subject is given a warning and must continue to run to the line, then turn and try to catch
up with the pace within two more ‘beeps. The subject is given a warning the first time they fail
to reach the line (within 2 meters), and eliminated after the second warning.
Scoring: The athlete's score is the level and number of shuttles (20m) reached before
they were unable to keep up with the recording. Record the last level completed
(not necessarily the level stopped at). This norm table below is based on personal experience,
and gives you a very rough idea of what level score would be expected for adults, using the
standard Australian beep test version.
Rating Score: Men Women
Very Good 13 12
Good 11-13 10-12
Average 9-11 8-10
Poor 7-9 6-8
Very Poor 7 below 6 below
Reliability: The reliability of the beep test would depend on how strictly the test is run and the
practice allowed for the subjects. There are also other factors which can affect performance,
which need to be controlled if possible. See point below.
35
Advantages: Large groups can perform this test all at once for minimal costs. Also, the test
continues to maximum effort unlike many other tests of endurance capacity.
Disadvantages: Practice and motivation levels can influence the score attained, and the
scoring can be subjective. As the test is often conducted outside, the environmental conditions
can affect the results.
Factors to consider: Although the beep test is primarily a fitness test of the aerobic energy
system, there is a range of other factors that can affect performance in the test and are
important to consider. These include: running efficiency and turning technique, anaerobic
capacity, motivation and social dynamics, motor skills and cognitive ability (especially in
children), environmental differences, clothing and running surfaces.

The sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures
the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles. This test is important as
because tightness in this area is implicated in lumbar lordosis, forward pelvic tilt and lower
back pain. This test was first described by Wells and Dillon (1952) and is now widely used as
a general test of flexibility.
Equipment required: sit and reach box (or alternatively a ruler can be used, and a step or
box).
Procedure: This test involves sitting on the floor with legs stretched out straight ahead. Shoes
should be removed. The soles of the feet are placed flat against the box. Both knees should
be locked and pressed flat to the floor - the tester may assist by holding them down. With the
palms facing downwards, and the hands-on top of each other or side by side, the subject
reaches forward along the measuring line as far as possible. Ensure that the hands remain at
the same level, not one reaching further forward than the other. After some practice reaches,
the subject reaches out and holds that position for a one-two seconds while the distance is
recorded. Make sure there are no jerky movements. See also video demonstrations of the Sit
and Reach Test.
Scoring: The score is recorded to the nearest centimeter or half inch as the distance reached
by the hand. Some test versions use the level of the feet as the zero mark, while others have
39
the zero mark 9 inches before the feet. There is also the modified sit and reach test which
adjusts the zero-mark depending on the arm and leg length of the subject.
Validity: This test only measures the flexibility of the lower back and hamstrings, and is a valid
measure of this.
Reliability: The reliability of this test will depend on the amount of warm-up that is allowed,
and whether the same procedures are followed each time the test is conducted. Most sit and
reach testing norms are based on no previous warm-up, though the best results will be
achieved after a warm up or if the test is proceeded by a test such as the endurance test
which can act as a warm up. If a warm up is used, it is important to have a standardized warm
up and test order and repeat the same conditions for each time the test is conducted.
Advantages: The sit and reach test is a common test of flexibility, and is an easy and quick
test to perform. If using the standard testing procedure, there is a lot of published data to use
for comparison.
Disadvantages: Variations in arm, leg and trunk length can make comparisons between
individuals misleading. This test is specific to the range of motion and muscles and joints of the
lower back and hamstrings, and may not be relevant to other parts of the body.

Station 5: PUSH-UP
40
Push-up stands are used for doing push-ups which is the most common form of
exercise that makes use of your body weight as resistance to build muscle strength. Push-
ups pinpoint the shoulder muscles, chest muscles and triceps to push the body away from
the floor and lower it back down.
Procedures: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Get on the floor on all fours, positioning your hands slightly wider than
your shoulders.
2. Extend your legs back so that you are balanced on your hands and toes. Keep your body
in a straight line from head to toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back. You
can position your feet to be close together or a bit wider depending on what is most
comfortable for you.
3. Before you begin any movement, contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling belly
button toward your spine. Keep a tight core throughout the entire push up.
4. Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows and lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90-
degree angle.
5. Exhale as you begin contracting your chest muscles and pushing back up through your
hands to the start position. Don't lock out the elbows; keep them slightly bent.
6. Please refer to the table below for your score and remarks.

Agility is an important component of many team sports, though it is not always tested, and is
often difficult to interpret results. The Illinois Agility Test (Getchell, 1979) is a commonly used
test of agility in sports, and as such there are many norms available.
Equipm
ent required: flat non-slip surface, marking cones, stopwatch, measuring tape, timing
gates (optional)
Procedure: The length of the course is 10 meters and the width (distance between the
start and finish points) is 5 meters. Four cones are used to mark the start, finish and the
two turning points. Another four cones are placed down the center an equal distance apart.
Each cone in the center is spaced 3.3 meters apart. Subjects should lie on their front
(head to the start line) and hands by their shoulders. On the 'Go' command the stopwatch
is started, and the athlete gets up as quickly as possible and runs around the course in
the direction indicated, without knocking the cones over, to the finish line, at which the
timing is stopped.
Advantages: This is a simple test to administer, requiring little equipment. Also, the players
ability to turn in different directions and different angles is tested.
Disadvantages: Choice of footwear and surface of area can effect times greatly. Results
can be subject to timing inconsistencies, which may be overcome by using timing gates.
Cannot distinguish between left and right turning ability.
Variations: the starting and finishing sides can be swapped, so that turning direction is
reversed.

Equipment required: measuring tape or marked wall, chalk for marking wall (jump mat).
Pre-test: Explain the test procedures to the subject. Perform screening of health risks and
obtain informed consent. Prepare forms and record basic information such as age, height,
body weight, gender, test conditions. Perform an appropriate warm- up.
Procedure: the athlete stands side on to a wall and reaches up with the hand closest to the
wall. Keeping the feet flat on the ground, the point of the fingertips is marked or recorded. This
is called the standing reach height. The athlete then stands away from the wall, and leaps
vertically as high as possible using both arms and legs to
assist in projecting the body upwards. The jumping technique can or cannot use
a countermovement. Attempt to touch the wall at the highest point of the jump.
45
The difference in distance between the standing reach height and the jump height is
the score. The best of three attempts is recorded.
Scoring: The jump height is usually recorded as a distance score. See the vertical jump norm
table to rate scores. For more information, see a selection of vertical jump test results. It is
also possible to convert jump height into a power or work score.
Remarks Men Women
Very Good 65 cm Above 58 cm Above
Good 50-65 cm 47-58 cm
Average 40-49 cm 36-46 cm
Poor 30-39 cm 26-35 cm
Very Good 30 cm Below 26 cm below
Procedure: A mark is placed a certain distance from the wall (e.g. 2 meters, 3 feet). The
person stands behind the line and facing the wall. The ball is thrown from one hand in an
underarm action against the wall, and attempted to be caught with the opposite hand.
The ball is then thrown back against the wall and caught with the initial hand. The test can
continue for a nominated number of attempts or for a set time period (e.g. 30 seconds). By
adding the constraint of a set time period, you also add the factor of working under pressure.
Scoring: This table lists general ratings for the Wall Toss Test, based on the score of the
number of successful catches in a 30 second period.
Reference: https://nathankanginanpdhpeassignment.weebly.com/hand-wall-toss.html
Pre-test: Explain the test procedures to the subject. Prepare forms and record basic
information such as age, gender and test conditions. Record preferred hand.
Procedure: The person to be tested stands or sits near the edge of a table, resting their
elbow on the table so that their wrist extends over the side. The assessor holds the ruler
vertically in the air between the subject's thumb and index finger, but not touching. Align the
zero mark with the subject’s fingers. The subject should indicate when they are ready. Without
warning, release the ruler and let it drop - the subject must catch it as quickly as possible as
soon as they see it fall. Record in meters the distance the ruler fell. Repeat several times (e.g.
10 times) and take the average score.
Calculation: Calculate the average distance the meter stick fell. Use the table below to
determine how long it took the ruler to fall the measured distance (distance in cm, time in
seconds). The table is based on the following formula, where d = the distance the ruler fell in
meters, g = the acceleration of gravity (9.8m/s^2), and t = the time the ruler was falling
(seconds)
t = sqrt (2d/g )
Distance (cm) Time (sec) Distance - Time Distance Time Distance Time
1 0.045 26 – 0.230 51 – 0.323 76 – 0.394
2 0.065 27 – 0.235 52 – 0.326 77 – 0.396
Scoring: There is a scoring table on the make your own Reaction Timer page where you can
rate your score.
Target population: sports requiring good hand-eye coordination and quick reactions, such as
race car driving, boxing and racket sports.
Variations: you could adapt this test to determine the reaction time to a sound, by using the
set up with the subject wearing a blindfold, and the ruler being released at the same time as
an auditory signal.
