 What I Need to Know

Hello, learners! How are you today? Let me share to you ideas and skills that
can be applied in our daily lives.

Our module allows you to understand the concept of developing a lifelong

habit about physical fitness and wellness which is a challenge to many Filipino
families. Nowadays, people become inactive in physical activities because of many
reasons. One of these is the advancement of Science and Technology and social
media that led to neglecting simple physical exercises and physical activities at home
and at school. Everyone in the family must do simple activities to improve health and
reduce risk of illnesses. Before you start on the commitment to fitness, be sure that
everyone in the family has consulted a doctor.

As you go through this module you are expected to

1. Recognize physical activity habits of the family in terms of health- related
fitness components.
2. Undertake physical activity tests and physical fitness assessment
(PE8PF-Ia-h-23)
3. Explain physical fitness and its importance

 Notes to the Teacher

In this stage we will discuss the importance of Health-

Related Fitness and selecting the most appropriate exercises or
activities that will help you and your family to achieve a level of
Physical Wellness.

What’s New

Hello learners! Do you want to learn something new today? Let’s start with a short
activity.

Activity: Action Song

Choose one nursery rhyme or a song then create and perform combinations
of locomotor and non- locomotor movements.

Ex. “Ako ay May Lobo” Identify movements being used. Invite one of your
family members to do this activity. If you will rate your performance 1-10 and 10 is
the highest, what is your score?

Are you done doing this activity? What are the basic movements you have
done from the activity? Did you apply the locomotor and non-locomotor movements?
How did your body respond to the activity?

Before we are going to discuss our lesson for today, here are some questions
for you to ponder on.

- What is fitness?
- What is Physical Fitness?
- What are the components of health -related fitness and skill related fitness?
- Describe the difference between health-related fitness and skills related
fitness.
- Why is it important to be physically fit?
Now, let us discuss this lesson as you go on with the next pages of this module.

 What is It

Hello learners! Let us read and understand the following lessons.

Let’s explain this.

Why is it important to be physically fit?

A person who is physically fit is able to maintain his most optimum weight
and is away from sickness. He has a relaxed state of mind is, physically strong and
mentally active in facing challenges in everyday life.

What is Fitness?

Fitness, aside from being physically fit, it also refers to a person’s mental state
as well. If a person is physically fit, but mentally unwell or troubled, he or she will
not be able to function optimally. Mental fitness can only be achieved if your body is
functioning well. You can help relax your own mind and eliminate stresses by
exercising regularly and eating right.

Why is it important to be physically fit?

A person who is physically fit is able to maintain his most optimum weight
and is also not prone to cardiac arrest and other health problems. In order to
maintain a relaxed state of mind, a person should be physically active. A person who
is fit both physically and mentally is strong enough to face the ups and downs of life,
and is not affected by drastic changes that take place.

How can you become more physically fit?

To become physically fit, it requires a change in lifestyle. You will have to

incorporate a regular exercise routine in your life and also eat healthier. By avoiding
junk foods, fizzy drinks, bad habits like smoking and alcohol and by getting adequate
amount of rest, you will be able to become physically and mentally fit. Just by
eliminating all these food substances from your life, no matter how temporary, you
will allow your body to detox and become stronger. Spending more time outdoors in
the sun, breathe fresh air, and taking part in more healthy activities are also a must
do. Fishing, bicycling, swimming, hiking, and even playing football with your siblings
should be a part of your physically fit lifestyle.

Physical Fitness is divided into four (4) Health –Related Fitness (HRF)
components and six (6) Skills- Related Fitness (SRF) components.

5
A. Health –Related Components focus on factors that prevent the onset of
disease and problems associated with an activity. The components are:

1. Cardiovascular Fitness. It is the ability of the heart (cardio) and circulatory

(vascular) to supply oxygen to muscles for an extended period of time. This is
also called cardiorespiratory (lungs) fitness. A continuous activity such as
cycling, 1km run, and step test are some examples.

2. Muscles Strength and Endurance. It is the ability of the muscles to produce

effort or perform work. Muscular Strength refers to the maximum amount of
force a muscle can exert against an opposing force while muscular endurance
refers to the ability of the muscles to work over an extended period of time
without fatigue. Examples push-ups or sit ups for one minute.

3. Flexibility. It is the ability of the body part to move at the joint in full range
of motion (ROM). The most common test is the sit and reach.

4. Body Composition. It is the ratio of the body fat to lean body mass, inclusive
of bones, water, muscles, and connective tissues which is a risk factor for
diabetes, cancer, arthritis, and other cardiovascular diseases.

B. Skill- Related Components focus on your performance in sports.

The components are:

1. Agility. It is the ability to shift your body in different directions quickly and
efficiently.

2. Balance. It is the ability to maintain stability in static or when moving or to

hold the body in a fixed position, while resisting gravity.

3. Power. It is when you perform a task as quickly and as forcefully as you can.
It is the product of strength and speed e.g. a 10-meter sprint or performing a
long jump.

4. Speed. It is your ability to perform successive movements of the same pattern

in the shortest period of time.

5. Coordination. It is the ability to use the senses e.g. sight, hearing, breathing,
together with body parts in performing motor tasks smoothly and accurately.

6. Reaction Time. It is the ability to react and make decisions.

In addition to improving quality of life, health-related fitness also

• increases muscle tone and strength;

• decreases susceptibility to injuries and illness;
• improves bone mineral density;
• reduces risk of osteoporosis;
• improves posture;
• increases efficiency of the respiratory and circulatory systems;
• decreases risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke;
• improves blood pressure;

6
 • decreases risk of diabetes and some cancers;
• improves self-esteem and self-confidence
• decreases body fat and improves metabolism; and
• increases energy level and academic achievement

In many cases, endurance and strength are the components used to assess
fitness. But utilizing the other components offers a more complete picture of overall
fitness, along with health and athleticism.

What’s More

Hello learners! Do you still follow through our lessons? Let us find out more.
Interview the members of your family using the activity sheet below.

Activity: Family Physical Test

Interview each family member using this activity sheet as your guide. Fill out
the chart with their responses.

Note: Do you know that doing household chores helps a lot in maintaining physical
fitness? Think about a day what do you have been sitting in the classroom, listening,
and writing notes which do not require you to move too much. So, find time doing
household chores as part of your daily routine to improve physical fit.

contrary to the hype from some fitness commercials and products whose benefits
associated with regular activity that requires real effort maintained over time.
Advertisements from some of fitness devices claim that 5 minutes on their product
is as good as 30 minutes on another product. The benefits of any activity depend on
the relevance and duration and not on the equipment and some products promise to
enhance the metabolism in the same way does.
