Activity 2: PAR-Q and You
Directions: Prior to any activity, you need to assess your general health through the
PAR–Q & YOU questionnaire. Fill up the PAR-Q as pre-requisite to check readiness
for physical activity. Please fill-up and answer the questions honestly.
Physical fitness is the ability to carry out daily tasks and have enough energy
to respond to unexpected demands. Assessing one’s health status will help the
person know about one’s strengths and weaknesses. Awareness of individuals’
health-related fitness and its relevant interpretations will aid the person to efficiently
create an action plan in observing a healthy lifestyle and selecting appropriate
activities for areas that need improvement.
The result of the assessment will help the person determine and understand
the level of fitness, and come up with a fitness plan to have better results as he
engages in physical activities such as dancing.

III. Flexibility
A. Zipper Test
For the performer (you): Raise your right arm, bend your elbow, and reach
down across your back as far as possible, to test the right shoulder;
extend your left arm down and behind your back, bend your elbow
up across your back, and try to reach/cross your fingers over those
of your right hand as if to pull a zipper or scratch between the
shoulder blades. Do the same with the left hand over the left
shoulder.
For the partner (any member of your family): Observe whether the fingers
touched or overlapped each other, if not, measure the gap between
the middle fingers of both hands. Record the distance in centimeter.

reach the farthest point possible
without bending the knees. Do it
twice.

distance that he could
a. As the performer assumes the (b)

B. Push Up
For the performer (you):
a. Lie down on the mat; face down in standard push-up position:

elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor).

arms, keeping the back straight, then lowers the arms until there is
a 90-degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor).
c. Perform as many repetitions as possible.
For the partner (any member of your family):
a. As the performer assumes the position of push-up, start counting
as the performer lowers his/her body until he/she reaches 90-
degree angle at the elbow. The partner should stand in front of the
student and his/her eyes should be close to elbow level to accurately
judge the 90-degrees bend.
b. Make sure that the performer executes the push-ups in the correct
form.
c. The test is terminated when the performer can no longer execute the
push-ups in the correct form, is in pain, voluntary stops, or cadence

4. Flexibility is the ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of
motion. It helps the individual prevent injuries during physical activity.
A person must not overstretch when doing physical activities. Too much
flexibility can lead to injuries, loose and unstable joints.
5. Body Composition is the ratio of lean tissue to fat tissue in the body. The
components are the percentages of fat, bone, water, and muscle in a human body.
Body composition covers the fat and the non-fat component of the body.
Obesity is the common health problem associated with several health concerns.
The most commonly used technique to determine the health status of a person is
the Body Mass Index (BMI).

Essential Nutrients
11
LU_Health Optimizing Physical Education3_Module1
B. Micronutrients – essential elements needed by life in small quantities
1. Vitamins – organic compounds found in small amounts in food
Fat Soluble Vitamins (can be stored in the body)
Vitamin A – for vision, bone health, immune system and skin
Vitamin D – strengthen bones, calcium absorption, immune system
Vitamin E – immune system; helps in flushing toxins
Vitamin K – for blood clotting and bone health
Water Soluble Vitamins (carried to the body tissues but not stored)
B Vitamins (biotin, folate, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12) – play a vital role in
maintaining good health and well-being; have a direct impact on
your energy levels, brain function and cell metabolism.
Vitamin C – also known as ascorbic acid, it is necessary for the growth,
development and repair of all body tissues. It is involved in many
body functions such as the formation of collagen, absorption of
iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance
of cartilage, bones and teeth
2. Minerals – elements on earth and in foods that our body needs to develop and
function normally
Calcium – important for healthy bones and teeth, nerve functioning, blood
pressure regulation, immune system health (sources: milk, canned fish
with bones, tofu, green vegetables, legumes)
Iodine – found in thyroid, hormone, which helps regulate growth, development
and metabolism (sources: seafood, iodized salt, dairy products)
Iron – part of hemoglobin found in red blood cells that carries oxygen into the
body (sources: organ meats, red meat, fish, poultry, egg yolk, dark leafy
greens)
Magnesium – found in bones; needed for making protein muscle contraction,
nerve transmission, immune system health (sources: nuts and seeds,
legumes, leafy green vegetables, seafood, chocolate)
Phosphorus – important for healthy bones and teeth; found in every cell; part
of the system that maintains acid-base balance
Potassium – a type of electrolyte; helps your heartbeat stay regular; nerve
transmission and muscle contraction (sources: meat, milk, fresh fruits
and vegetables)
Sodium – needed for proper fluid balance, nerve transmission and muscle
contraction (sources: table salt, processed food)
Zinc – part of many enzymes, needed for making protein and genetic material,
has a function in taste perception, wound healing, normal fetal
development (sources: meat, fish, leavened whole grains, vegetables)
