PHYSIPPPCAL FITNESS
GRADE 7
BY: MA’AM CHE
AT THE END OF THIS MODULE, I WILL
BE ABLE TO:
1. Define physical fitness and the two (2) major components that constitute it.
2. Enumerate and define the different parameters that constitute each
component.
3. Relate each fitness parameter: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle
strength and endurance, flexibility and body composition, to health risks
associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
4. Using this information, write my own fitness plan that contains activities in
the proper frequency, intensity and duration so I may achieve my fitness
goals.
COMPARE THE TWO PICTURES. HOW
CAN YOU DESCRIBE THEM?
These are the pictures of physically
fit and physically unfit person.
Physically fit means to be in a state
of health and well-being and
physically unfit is the reverse of it.

QUESTION: HOW CAN WE

WORD WHICH RELATES
TO THE PICTURES
CORRECT OR PROPER
NUTRITION
HYGIENE
REST
EXERCISE
PHYSICAL FITNESS IS GENERALLY
ACHIEVED THROUGH CORRECT
NUTRITION, EXERCISE, HYGIENE
AND REST.
EXERCISE- TYPE OF PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY CARRIED OUT TO
SUSTAIN OR IMPROVE HEALTH
AND FITNESS.
QUESTION: WHAT ARE THE
IMPORTANCE/ BENEFITS OF
EXERCISE?
INCREASED ENERGY
By working out on a regular basis, your body

becomes more efficient at burning calories.
This gives you more energy throughout the
day.
INCREASED METABOLISM
Increased physical activity through working

out leads to more muscle mass, which in itself
leads to a higher metabolism. As per some
studies, every extra pound of muscle allows
you to burn anywhere from 50- 100 calories
when at rest.
IMPROVED MUSCLE TONE
Physical activity, especially

weight training allows you to
change the shape of your body.
Since muscle is denser than fat,
one can get bigger or smaller by
gaining more muscle mass.
BETTER HEALTH
Increased exercising leads to a

strengthening of the immune system;
which means that one is less likely to
get sick when exercising the right
amount. On the other hand, over
exercising can weaken your immune
system and make you sick.
STRESS REDUCTION
Stress levels are reduced

extensively by regular work outs.
They allow the individual to take
their mind off the daily grind and
use pent up energies for productive
purposes.
IMPROVED SELF-ESTEEM
When following an exercise

regimen for a regular basis, you
bring about greater self esteem
through the results and
accomplishment achieved.
