What is It

A. STRENGTH TRAINING
Strength training specializes in the inducement of muscular contraction
through the use of free weights, weight machines, and resistance bands which
builds the strength, size of skeletal muscles, and anaerobic endurance. It
strengthens and increases the amount of muscle mass in the body by making the
muscles work harder than they're used to. It improves overall health and well-
being because the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments are strengthened and
toughened. It also increases metabolism, improves cardiac function, and elevates
good cholesterol.
Strength training is most commonly seen as a weight-bearing activity.
There are two terms concerning strength exercises: Repetitions and sets. A rep
(repetition) is one full movement from starting point to finish. A set is a group of
repetitions. The most basic training design is to have anywhere between 6 and
15 reps in a set, and performing 3 sets. Some people will go for 6 to 9 reps, some
will go for 9-12 and some will go for 12-15 reps in a set. These numbers are for
upper body strength training. The lover body reps must be anywhere between 15-
25 reps also with an approximate of three sets.
Benefits of the Weight-Bearing Strength Training Exercises
With good strength training program, a learner will:
1. have an increase in muscle strength;
2. strengthen tendons and ligaments;
3. improve in range of motion joints;
4. have a reduction of body fat and increase in lean muscle mass;
5. potentially improve his/her blood pressure levels;
6. gain positive changes in levels of blood cholesterol;
7. gain an improvement in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity; and
8. gain overall strength, balance and functional ability.

5
B. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
Even if we are so concentrated in developing a healthy and active lifestyle,
we still need to consider our safety. So bear in mind the following precautionary
measures:

1. Before engaging yourself to the activity, warm up first through walking. After
doing the exercise, cool down for five to ten minutes through stretching.
2. Align body correctly and move smoothly through each exercise. Focus on form,
not weight. Poor form can cause injuries and slow gains. When learning a
strength training routine, start with no weight, or very light weight, then
concentrate on slow-smooth lifts and equally control descents while isolating a
muscle group.
3. To be in control is to work at the right tempo. Take three counts while lowering
a weight and hold, then count three again while raising it to the starting position.
4. Pay attention to your breathing during workouts. Exhale while working against
resistance by lifting, pushing, or pulling and inhale at every release.
5. Keep challenging muscles by slowly increasing weight or resistance. The right
weight differs depending on the exercise.
6. Stick with the routine. Working all the major muscles of the body two or three
times a week is ideal.
7. Give time for muscles to recover too. Strength training causes tiny tears in
muscle tissue. These tears aren't harmful, but they are important. Muscles grow
stronger as the tears knit hours to recover before the next strength training
session. Always give the muscles at least 48 hours to recover before the next
strength training session.

C. FOOD REQUIREMENTS
The way we eat when we were children may strongly affect our eating
behavior as adults. When we repeat this behavior over many years, it becomes a
habit. Eating proper food and proper exercise should go hand in hand to achieve
a healthy and active lifestyle.
Every year, many people check their general level of physical fitness. Some
people choose to focus on increasing physical activity while others choose to
begin eating healthy and nutritious food.
A combination of good exercise routine and consistent intake of balanced
diet can help achieve a well-rounded health and fitness level.
Food and Nutrients

There are different dietary and nutritional requirements for each method
used to increase levels of general fitness. The food that you eat serves as a fuel
for your various activities.
Every year many people check on their general levels of fitness. A combination of
good exercise routine and consistent healthy food intake can help someone
achieve a well-rounded health and fitness program.

WATER- During exercise, evaporation is usually the primary
mechanism of heat dissipation. Temperature rises rapidly if
the body cannot adequately evaporate sweat from skin’s
surface. Continuous sweating might lead in losing valuable
fluids from the reservoir within the body. The rate is being
related to exercise intensity, individual differences,
environmental conditions, acclimatization state, clothing,
and baseline hydration status.
Eight or more glasses of water a day keep us hydrated.
CARBOHYDRATES- The majority of your diet must consist
of healthy, natural carbohydrates. These should not come
from sugar (even though sugar is packed with
carbohydrates). Get your carbohydrates from natural
sources such as rice and whole grains.
Rice is a good source of carbohydrates.
PROTEIN- Protein is very important if you add strength
training to your aerobic routine. You need to consider
protein to be an integral part of your diet. The amino acids
that make up proteins are the small amount of acid that
make every biological function of your body possible. For
those trying to lose weight, diets high in protein and fiber
are very likely to limit cravings and make you feel full faster
and longer. Pork is one good source of protein.

FRUITS and VEGETABLES- Make your plate filled with

fruits and vegetables. Dark green, red, orange vegetables,
have high levels of nutrients such as vitamin C, calcium,
and fiber. Adding spinach or romaine lettuce and tomato to
your sandwich is the easiest way to get more veggies in your
meal Tomatoes and eggplant are some of the nutritious
food our body needs.

GRAINS- Choose whole grains, like whole-wheat bread,

brown rice and oatmeal. It is also best to consume them with
fruits.
Wheat bread is more advisable to eat.

DAIRY- If you are trying to build strong bones, drink fat-

free or low-fat milk products. In some cases when you
cannot digest lactose, there are alternatives that you can
have like soy or rice milk and low-fat yogurt instead.

Milk builds strong bones.

PIZZA, CANDY, and FAST FOOD- You don’t need to
deprive yourself from eating these items. Eating less of
them may help you maintain a healthy weight. Pizza,
candy, fastfood, and sodas have a lot of added sugar, solid
fats, and sodium which could be beneficial at some point
especially when consumed in proper amount. A healthy
eating plan should still be observed.

7
 Pizza must be eaten in moderation.

8
ADDED SUGAR- Fruits are naturally sweet not like cookies,
snack cakes, and brownies, which have added sugar to
make them taste better. Sugar adds calories but has no
nutrients so you need to have less intake or consumption of
it.
Cookies have added sugar thus, these
must be consumed in moderation.
SOLID FATS- Fat helps your body grow and develop. It is a
source of energy and it even keeps your skin and hair
healthy. But some fats are better for you than others. Solid
fats are fats that are solid at room temperature, like butter,
stick margarine, shortening and lard. They often contain
saturated trans fat, which is high in calories and not
healthy for the heart so be easy on cakes, cookies, pizza and
fries which often have a lot of solid fat. Margarine is an example of solid fats.

SODIUM- Your body needs a small amount of sodium. But,

consuming too much of this can raise your blood pressure,
which is unhealthy for your heart and your body in general.
Processed foods, like those that are canned, frozen or
packaged, often have a lot of salt. Try to use less than one
teaspoon of salt in preparing food when cooking.
Too much salt in the body absorbs too much water

Skipping Meals may lead to weight gain. Follow these tips to maintain a
healthy weight.

1. Eat breakfast every day. It gets your body going. You can even grab something
on the go, like a piece of fruit and a slice of whole-grain bread. It also helps you
concentrate on your studies or even enables you to focus on your work brought
about by the power of taking regular breakfast.
2. Pack your lunch. Aside from being economical, if you pack your lunch, you can
control the portions and can ensure a healthy meal since you prepare it.
3. Eat healthy snacks, and try not to skip meals. If you can bring your own snack,
then do so. Eat boiled bananas, camote and the like instead of taking junk foods.
4. Take dinner with your family. When you eat with your family, you are more
likely to eat a healthy meal, and you can take the time to catch up with each
other.
5. Be involved in grocery shopping and meal planning at home. If you’re involved,
you can make sure meals are healthy and taste good. Share your knowledge to
your parents while picking up your groceries and strengthen your bonding, too.

Proper Nutrition for Exercise

Nutrition is the health branch of health science that emphasizes the

importance of the food for growth and development, as well as in lowering the
chances of acquiring diseases and illnesses. Proper nutrition depends on the mix
of food with varied nutrients that we need to consume every day. Having too much
or too little of these nutrients can lead to disorders, so keep principles of nutrition
like adequacy, balance, and variety. Nutrients are important food substances
that help our body function properly. They provide energy and facilitate growth
and repair of cells.
Macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water are
mandatory intake by the body in large amounts. Micronutrients such as
9
vitamins and minerals are only needed in very little amounts. They all aid our
bodies to produce enzymes, hormones and other substances critical to growth
and development.

D. FITT PRINCIPLE
The FITT Principle is an acronym for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
These are the key factors in designing an exercise program that will address the
current fitness level; provide means to overload the body; and trigger positive
adaptations. These variables can be modified occasionally to consistently
challenge the body to become stronger. It is important to remember that
increasing the workload should be done one variable at a time to prevent chronic
injuries or overtraining. The proposed recommendations should be observed to
reduce the likelihood of injury and encourage adoption of an active lifestyle.
The frequency (number of sessions in a week) of an exercise program
depends on the current fitness level of a person and the type of activity performed.
It is important to provide rest days to allow the body to recover. Consequently,
beginners should exercise less frequently as compared to athletes. As the fitness
level increases, the individual can increase the number of sessions gradually.
Some individuals train twice or thrice every day. However, one should refrain
from designing his/her program (especially for beginners) this way because it
leads to burnout and possible injuries.
The intensity (difficulty level of the exercise or work demand) of an
exercise, refers to the difficulty level of the workout. It is important to set a

10
workload that is more challenging than what one is used to. This factor is affected
by the current fitness level and the time allotted to an exercise session. Each type
of exercise has its own method of estimating intensity. Current research indicates
that exercise intensity is the most important factor in improving fitness level.
The time or duration (duration or distance covered in an exercise
session) of an exercise session is influenced by the intensity and the type of
activity performed. An exercise that is performed at a high intensity level cannot
be sustained for a long period of time. Furthermore, a stretching program usually
takes a shorter period to complete as compared to resistance training program.
Lastly, the type (mode of exercise or activity) of activity is influenced by
the fitness goal and the current fitness level. The program should be designed to
produce the best activity that will specifically address the fitness goal. For
instance, an individual who wants to develop his or her endurance to swim 2
kilometers should choose swimming as his or her main activity though there are
strategies to achieve this goal. There is no single exercise for a specific goal, but
one can choose from various alternatives or activities that will provide enjoyment
to him/ her. This is where the art and science of exercise prescription come into
play.

E. INTRODUCTION TO STRENGTH TRAINING

The Five Basic Strength Training Exercises
A. Push-ups- Regular push-ups are prescribed to most people. However,
for some who have health concerns, newbies and even females, they may start
off with knee push-ups. Regular push-ups are performed with the body forming
a straight line from the heels. The body is lowered until the chest is approximately
one fist off the ground. The body is then pushed off the ground to return to its
original position.

B. Superman-From Push-ups
prone lying position, lift both arms and legs. Try not to bend the legs; then lower
arms and legs without relaxing the ground.

Superman
C. Crunches- From the supine lying position while legs are bent and arms
touching the ears, lift the head and shoulders with the shoulder blades lifting off
completely from the ground. Return to original position while keeping the head
elevated off the ground.

Crunches
11
D. Side crunches- Starting with legs together and bent, lie on one side. Extend
the arm close to the ground 30-45 degrees from the body as support or balance.
Position the other arm across the chest or have it float in front of it. Lift the
shoulder closer to the ground while legs and the chest slightly face upward.
Return to original position without letting the shoulder touch the ground.

Side Crunches
E. Squats-From an upright position with arms and hands crossed in front of
chest or up, squat lower until the thighs are parallel to the ground. The chest
and butt must be pushed out and the knee must not thrust forward beyond the
toes. Return to original position, keeping both legs and slightly bent.

Today you are moving to lesson 3. Are you ready
to take some actions? Let’s begin.

What’s In
Directions: Fact or Myth? There are various myths and fallacies surrounding
exercise and fitness. It is important that you are able to identify valid claims. A
sound understanding of how the body responds to exercise and training is going
to help you weed out fact from fallacy. Check out the following statements and
decide whether it is a fact or myth by writing F if it’s a fact and letter M if it’s a
myth. Write the answers on your activity notebook.

1. It is best to exercise in the morning because it helps burn more calories.

2. Running a kilometer and walking a kilometer will burn the same amount of
calories.
3. Performing 1,000 crunches a day will trim fat in the belly.
4. Free weights are better than exercise machines in increasing strength.
5. Performing static stretching before jumping decreases vertical jump height.

What’s New

RPE SCALE
1 Very Light Activity
(anything other than complete rest)
2-3 Light Activity
(Feels like you can maintain for hours, easy to breath and carry on a
conversation)
4-5 Moderate Activity
(feel like you can exercise for long periods of time, able to talk and hold
short conversation)
6-7 Vigorous Activity
(on the verge of becoming uncomfortable, short of breath, can speak a
sentence)
8-9 Very Hard Activity
(difficult to maintain exercise intensity, hard to speak more than a single
word)
10 Max Effort
(feels impossible to continue, completely out of breath, unable to talk)
16
 This is the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale. If you want to measure
the intensity of your workouts, get familiar with the numbers. In simple
terms, the numbers correspond to the intensity of exercise.Have you seen
this chart? How is it related to the Philippine activity pyramid?

What is It

Heart Rate

The heart rate is an indicator of the level of participation in physical

activity. The intensity of activity is measured by the percentage of the maximum
heart rate (maxHR) during exercise, which literally means the maximum number
of times the heart contracts in one minute. An easy formula to determine your
maximum heart rate, based on your age, is called the Maximum Heart Rate
(MaxHR).
Prediction Equation: MaxHR FORMULA = 220 - your age

However, this only gives you an estimate, as the maximum heart rate
actually varies for different people. The aging factor affects this formula and
maxHR decreases as one gets older. A more accurate measure of heart rate is
known as the maximal stress test (VO2,max). This test makes use of a treadmill
or exercise bike. Another accurate way to measure the heart rate is through a
heart rate monitor that uses either watch or chest strap attached with a device
that measures one's heart rate and calculates its percentage against your
maxHR.

Rate of Perceived Exertion

The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) can measure exercise intensity and
can be combined with the Prediction Equation. A number is assigned to coincide
with the subjective feelings of exercise exertion (from 1 to 10). Based on the given
number (RPE), there is an assigned ratio scale. The higher the number given by
the exerciser, the higher the level of exertion is. To use this text, the exerciser is
tasked to determine the approximate level of his/her exertion between 1 and 10.
The equivalents are as follows:

RPE Approximate Level of Exertion

1 10 % No Exertion
2 20% Very Very Weak
3 30% Very Weak
4 40% Weak
5 50% Moderate
6 60% Somewhat Strong
7 70 % Strong
8 80 % Very Strong

17
 9 90 % Very very strong
10 100 % Maximal Exertion

If the student gives a number of 5, for example, it garners an exertion level

of 5, which means that he/she would more or less, be at his/her 50% personal
maxHR. This value can then be compared to the Prediction Equation, which is
based on the student's age. A simple way of determining the maxHR is through
this formula.

220- age (for example, 20 years old) = 200 (maxHR of the student)
RPE = 5 (exertion = 5, or approximately 50% heart rate)
Therefore, at the rate the student is exercising, the heart rate should be 100
bpm (beats per minute).

200-20= 200
200 x .50 = 100

Activity 1: Try this one. Compute for the maximum heart rate of a 24-year old
athlete whose RPE is 8. Show your step-by-step computation in your activity
notebook.

You just did a computation on heart rate. Now,

it’s time to create your own fitness plan.

FITT PRINCIPLE

Exercise is an activity that stimulates the body to adapt and become

stronger. The stimulus has to be appropriate to derive the health benefits. If the
stimulus is too light, the body will not adapt, and if it is too hard, it may cause
some injuries. The exercise program should be designed to fit the current health
condition of the individual and it should be interesting. The FITT Principle is a
helpful guide in designing a personalized fitness program.

What I Have Learned

Activity 1. Directions: Prepare a simple fitness program by simply selecting the

set of exercises that you want. In your work-out or strengthening activity, use
the alternative exercises that you have chosen in the previous activity or lesson.

 Lesson

4 Making it Part of Life

Hello! Yo u are about to finish this module with your last lesson. Ready?
Let’s proceed.

Being well and fit enables one to perform everyday duties and daily
routines from moderate-to-vigorous levels without excessive fatigue or getting
tired and become miserable at the end of the day. One should still have the
strength to perform other activities for recreation. There are contributory factors
for being fit. One of which is the fitness activity.

A fitness activity includes physical movements designed to burn fats or

calories. Everybody can benefit from regular physical activities, whether it be
moderate or vigorous activities. Greater amount of physical activity, 'longer
duration' or greater intensity' can provide additional health benefits. Some of the
suggested fitness activities are strength training, walking, running and jogging.

What is It

Lifting weights is as important as those exercises using one’s body weight

for resistance or resistance bands. This type of exercise increases lean muscle
mass which is particularly important for weight loss sine lean muscles burn more
calories than other types of tissues. When you drop pounds, you can also lose
muscle, so it's important to do resistance training to keep that muscle mass
especially for those learners whose BMI fall under obese, overweight, and
underweight. This is all part of improving and maintaining one’s Body Mass
Index (BMI).
Benefits of Strength Training
 Increases lean muscle mass (or prevention of its loss) – Continuous
strength training will help tone your muscles because of its repetitive
action or contraction of the muscle
 Increases bone density and reduced risk of osteoporosis- As we age, our
bone density changes and our bone become more brittle so strength
training can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis which is the main
problem of older people.
 Increases muscle strength to make everyday activities easier- The muscle
gets immune with the strength being exerted and it will help you
accomplish harder work easily and with ease.
 Lowers risk of injury (by allowing the muscles to better support the joints).
Exercising the joint to achieve its maximum range could be attained

20
 through strength training. As a result, the individual can accomplish more
tasks.

Use your resourcefulness in doing the next activity. You need plastic
bottles, water, sand, pebbles or soil. Filling the bottles with water, sand, or
pebbles is a good substitute for dumbbells.
Reminder:
1. Make sure to undergo warm up exercises first to condition yourself in
doing the suggested activity.
2. Perform in a wide space and make sure you are wearing a comfortable
fitness attire.
3. Hydrate yourself.
4. Have someone observe you (any member of the family) while performing
to get instructions relating to execution, safety, and security.

What’s More
Directions: Using improvised materials, execute the following simple
strengthening exercises.
Positions Procedure

Bicep curls

1. Stand firm on the ground with feet apart

and distribute your weight well.

2. Starting position- While holding the bottles,

place your hands on your sides (you may
change the way you handle and the direction
of the bottles as long as you hold them firmly.)
