Fitness, Components of Physical Fitness, Importance of Physical Fitness, Physical education and
Health safety guidelines
LESSON OVERVIEW: The lesson deals with world of physical education that subdivides into different
lessons. This will give further understanding about physical education and physical fitness related
topics.
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.
There are many different definitions of Physical Education according to the following scholars:
Physical Education is the sum of those experiences which comes to individual through
movements. – Oberteuffer
Physical Education is the sum of man’s physical activities selected as to kind and conducted as
to outcomes. – J.F Williams & C.L Brownell
Physical Education is the phase of whose field of education that deals with big muscle activities.
– J.B. Nash
Physical Education is the sum of changes in the individual caused by experiences centering
motor activity. – Cassidy
Physical education is the education through physical activities for the development of the total
personality of the child to its fullness and perfection in body, mind and spirit. – Central Advisory
Board of Physical Education and Recreation, India
To sum it up Physical Education is defined as an integral part of the educational program designed to
promote the optimum development of an individual physically, emotionally, mentally, socially and
spiritually through total body movements in the participation of properly selected activities.
acquire good health, physical fitness and bodily coordination through participating regularly in
physical activity
promote desirable moral behaviors, cooperation in communal life, ability to make decisions, and
the appreciation of aesthetic movement
Trivia: Physical inactivity lack of physical activity has been identified as the fourth leading risk
factor for global mortality (6% of death globally) – WHO
Physical activity and physical fitness are topics that are frequently interchanged. Now let’s study the
meaning of physical activity and physical fitness.
Physical Fitness
It is the capacity of an individual to perform daily activities efficiently without
experiencing undue fatigue. It is associated with the ability to work effectively, enjoy leisure,
be healthy, resist hypokinetic (too little activity) diseases and meet emergency situations. It is
the ability of the body to work efficiently and effectively.

Reaction Time
Your physical fitness is measured through physical fitness test – a test designed to measure physical
strength, agility and endurance. They are commonly employed in educational institutions as a part of
physical education curriculum.
Physical Fitness Test has its following objectives:
To determine the level of fitness
To identify strengths and areas for development/improvement
To identify bases for physical activities
We will be using the following activities to measure your physical fitness on the selected fitness
components and these are the following:
What is BMI?
Body Mass Index (BMI) - An index that incorporates height and weight to estimate critical fat values
at which risk for disease increases
BMI FORMULA: =
After solving for the BMI you need to see the corresponding weight status or classification on the
table below.
For example: Mike, a sophomore student is 1.20 meters tall and has weighted of 30 kilograms.
What is his BMI and his classification?
To perform the Modified Sit-and-Reach Test, you will need the Acuflex I*
sit-and-reach flexibility tester, or you may simply place a yardstick on top
of a box approximately 12” high. The test is used to assess hamstring
(back of the thighs) and low back flexibility.
To administer this test:
1. Warm up properly before the first trial.
2. Remove your shoes for the test. Sit on the floor with your hips,
back, and head against a wall, legs fully extended and the
bottom of your feet against the Acuflex I or the sit-and-reach box.
3. Place your hands one on top of the other, and reach forward as
far as possible without letting your hips, back, or head come off
the wall.
4. Another person then should slide the reach indicator on the
Acuflex I (or yardstick) along the top of the box until the end of the indicator touches the tips of your
fingers. The indicator then must be held firmly in place throughout the rest of the test.
5. Your head and back now can come off the wall, and you may reach forward gradually three
times, the third time stretching forward as far as possible on the indicator (or yardstick), holding the
final position at least two seconds. Be sure to keep the back of your knees against the floor
throughout the test.
6. Record to the nearest half inch the final number of inches you reached.
7. You are allowed two trials, and an average of the two scores is used as the final test score.
The Finger Touch Test is used to assess shoulder flexibility. The following
procedure is used to administer the test:
2. Bring your right hand over your right shoulder and reach down the
middle of your back as far down as possible with the fingers extended
and pointing straight down to the ground.
3. Simultaneously as you are reaching down your back with the right
hand, place your left hand behind your lower back with the palm facing
out and gradually slide the hand with fingers extended as far up as possible.
4. The objective of the test is to bring the tips of the fingers as close together or overlap as much
as possible behind your back, holding the final reached position for two seconds.
5. With the aid of a partner, measure to the nearest half inch the distance between the tips of the
fingers or the amount of overlap between the fingers. If you are unable to touch or overlap your
fingers, the distance between the fingers is recorded as a negative score. If your fingers touch
but do not overlap, the score equals zero (0). If the fingers overlap, carefully measure the
amount of overlap and report it as a positive score. Conduct the test twice and use an
average of the two trials as the final score.
6. Now repeat the test on the left side (bring the left hand over the left shoulder and the right hand
behind the lower back). Do two trials and average the final score.
3. Have a partner hold your feet in front of yo u. Bend your hips at approximately 90 degrees (you
also may use three sturdy chairs;
4. put your hands on two chairs placed by the sides of your body and your feet on the third chair in
front of you).
5. Next, lower your body by flexing your elbows until you reach a 90-degree angle at this joint, and
then return to the starting position.
6. The repetition does not count if you fail to reach 90 degrees. Perform the repetitions to a two-
step cadence (down–up), regulated with a metronome set at 56 beats per minute. Perform as
many continuous repetitions as possible. If you fail to follow the metronome cadence, you can
no longer count the repetitions.
2. bend your knees (feet up in the air), and place your hands on the floor by your shoulders with
the fingers pointing forward. Your lower body will be supported at the knees (rather than the
feet) throughout the test.
3. Your chest must touch the floor on each repetition. Perform the repetitions to a two-step
cadence (up– down) regulated with a metronome set at 56 beats per minute. Do as many
continuous repetitions as possible. If you fail to follow the metronome cadence, you cannot
count any more repetitions.
1. Lie down on the floor, face up, and bend both legs at the knees at
approximately 100 degrees.
2. Your feet should be on the floor, and you must hold them in place
yourself throughout the test.
3. Cross your arms in front of your chest, each hand on the opposite
shoulder.
4. Now raise your head off the floor, placing your chin against your
chest. This is the starting and finishing position for each curl-up.
The back of the head may not come in contact with the floor, the
hands cannot be removed from the shoulders, and neither the feet
nor the hips can be raised off the floor at any time during the test. The test is terminated if any of
these four conditions occur.
5. When you curl up, your upper body must come to an upright position before going back down.
The repetitions are performed to a two-step cadence (up–down) regulated with the metronome
set at 40 beats per minute. For this exercise, you should allow a brief practice period of 5 to 10
seconds to familiarize yourself with the cadence (the up movement is initiated with the first beat,
then you must wait for the next beat to initiate the down movement; one repetition is
accomplished every two beats of the metronome).

6. Count as many repetitions as you are able to perform following the proper cadence. The test is
terminated if you fail to maintain the appropriate cadence or if you accomplish 100 repetitions.
7. Have your partner check the angle at the knees throughout the test to make sure that you
maintain the 100-degree angle as closely as possible.

Further, lack of spinal flexibility does not allow some individuals to move the
required (3½”) range of motion. Others are unable to keep their heels on
the floor during the test. Some research has questioned the validity of this
test as an effective measure of abdominal strength or abdominal
endurance. With these caveats in mind, the procedure is as follows.
2. Lie on the floor in a supine position (face up) with your knees bent at approximately 100 degrees
and your legs slightly apart. Your feet should be on the floor, and you must hold them in place
yourself throughout the test. Straighten your arms, and place them on the floor alongside your
trunk with your palms down and fingers fully extended.
3. The fingertips of both hands should barely touch the closest edge of the cardboard. Bring your
head off the floor until your chin is 1” to 2” away from your chest.
4. Keep your head in this position during the entire test. (Do not move your head by flexing or
extending the neck.) You now are ready to begin the test. Perform the repetitions to a two-step
cadence (up– down) regulated with a metronome set at 60 beats per minute.
5. As you curl up, slide your fingers over the cardboard until your fingertips reach the far end (3½”)
of the board, then return to the starting position. Allow a brief practice period of about 10
seconds to familiarize yourself with the cadence. Initiate the up movement with the first beat and
the down movement with the next beat. Accomplish one repetition every two beats of the
metronome. Count as many repetitions as you are able to perform while following the proper
cadence. You may not count a repetition if your fingertips fail to reach the distant end of the
cardboard.
6. Terminate the test if you (a) fail to maintain the appropriate cadence, (b) bend your elbows, (c)
shrug your shoulders, (d) slide your body, (e) fail to keep your heels on the floor, (f) do not keep
your chin close to your chest, (g) accomplish 100 repetitions, or (h) can no longer perform the
test.
7. Have your partner check the angle at the knees throughout the test to make sure you maintain
the 100-degree angle as closely as possible.
For the Bench Jump, use a bench or gymnasium bleacher 16¼” high, and
attempt to jump up and down on the bench as many times as you can in 1
minute. If you cannot jump the full minute, step up and down. A repetition is
counted each time both feet return to the floor.
The test used most often to determine cardiorespiratory endurance is the 1.5-Mile Run Test. The fitness
category is determined according to the time a person takes to run or walk a 1.5-mile course. The only
equipment necessary to conduct this test is a stopwatch and a track or a premeasured 1.5-mile course.
Although the 1.5-Mile Run Test is quite simple to administer, a note of caution is in order:
As the objective is to cover the distance in the shortest time, it is considered a maximal exercise test. The 1.5-
Mile Run Test should be limited to conditioned individuals who have been cleared for exercise. It is not
recommended for unconditioned beginners, symptomatic individuals, those with known cardiovascular disease
or risk factors for heart disease, and men over age 45 and women over age 55. Unconditioned beginners are
encouraged to have at least 6 weeks of aerobic training before they take the test.
Prior to taking the 1.5-Mile Run Test, you should do a few warm-up exercises—some stretching
exercises, some walking, and slow jogging. Next, time yourself during the 1.5-Mile Run to see how fast
you cover the distance. If you notice any unusual symptoms during the test, do not continue. Stop
immediately and see your physician, or retake the test after another six weeks of aerobic training.
At the end of the test, cool down by walking or jogging slowly for another three to five minutes.
Referring to your performance time, look up your estimated VO2max in Estimated Maximal Oxygen
Uptake Table and the corresponding fitness category in Cardiorespiratory Fitness Category According
to Maximal Oxygen Uptake Table.
For example, a 20-year-old female runs the 1.5-mile course in 12 minutes and 40 seconds. Estimated Maximal
Oxygen Uptake Table shows a VO2max of 39.8 mL/kg/min for a time of 12:40. According to Cardiorespiratory
Fitness Category According to Maximal Oxygen Uptake Table, this VO2max places her in the good
cardiorespiratory fitness category.
Estimated Maximal Oxygen Uptake Table (in mL/kg/min) for 1.5-Mile Run Test
The 1.0-Mile Walk Test calls for a 440-yard track (four laps to a mile) or a premeasured 1.0-mile course. Body
weight in pounds must be determined prior to the walk. A stopwatch is required to measure total walking time
and exercise heart rate.
You can proceed to walk the 1-mile course at a brisk pace so the exercise heart rate at the end of the
test is above 120 beats per minute.
At the end of the 1.0-mile walk, check your walking time and immediately count your pulse for 10
seconds. You can take your pulse on the wrist by placing two fingers over the radial artery (inside of the
wrist on the side of the thumb) or over the carotid artery in the neck just below the jaw next to the voice
box.
Next, multiply the 10-second pulse count by 6 to obtain the exercise heart rate in beats per minute.
Now convert the walking time from minutes and seconds to minute units. Each minute has 60 seconds,
so the seconds are divided by 60 to obtain the fraction of a minute. For instance, a walking time of 12
minutes and 15 seconds equals 12 + (15 ÷ 60), or 12.25 minutes. To obtain the estimated VO2max in
mL/kg/min for the 1.0-Mile Walk Test, plug your values into the following equation:
where:
W = weight in pounds
G = gender (use 0 for women and 1 for men)
T = total time for the mile walk in minutes
HR = exercise heart rate in beats per minute at the end of the mile walk
For example, a woman who weighs 140 pounds completed the mile walk in 14 minutes and 39 seconds with
an exercise heart rate of 148 beats per minute. The estimated VO2max is:
W = 140 lbs.
G = 0 (female gender 5 0)
T = 14:39 = 14+ (39÷60) = 14.65 min
HR = 148 bpm
VO2max = 88.768 - (0.0957 x 140) + (8.892 x 0) - (1.4537 x 14.65) - (0.1194 x 148) VO2max = 36.4
mL/kg/min
As with the 1.5-Mile Run Test, the fitness categories based on VO2max are found in Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Category According to Maximal Oxygen Uptake Table. Record your cardiorespiratory fitness test results on
your fitness profile in Activity 2.1, Pre-Test.
1. It boosts overall health — Regular exercise is an important part of staying healthy and keeping your
weight in check. Not only does keep your lungs and heart healthy, but it strengthens your muscles and
bones. Mounting studies also show that regular physical activity significantly reduces the risk for
diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, Type 2 diabetes, cancers, and more.
If you don’t have time to go to the gym, a 30-minute walk 5 days a week will do. You may also take up
outdoor games or sports, go cycling, or hiking as ways to exercise.
2. It helps prolong your life span — Because it helps prevent diseases, one of the benefits of physical
fitness through physical activity also aids in increasing your life expectancy. Studies says that physically
active people live longer than their less active counterparts.
3. It promotes mental health — During exercise, the body releases endorphins and serotonin – also
called happy hormones – which help lower anxiety, stress, and tension. These hormones aid in
blocking negative thoughts, uplifting one’s mood, and ensuring a good night sleep.
Scientists are also suggesting that doctors include physical activity in recommendations for patients
suffering with depression. One Harvard study shows that a 15-minute run or one-hour walk a
day decreases the risk of depression up to 26%, and prevents relapse. In fact, a lot of people
use exercise and outdoor activities like hiking as a natural way to combat moderate depression.
4. It increases strength and stamina for more rigorous activity — Physical fitness enhances flexibility,
bone density, and muscle strength. As your muscles grow and bone stronger, you also gain better
balance and become better protected against injury from a fall or slip. This strength also makes you
more resilient for other physical activities.
5. It saves your health-related expenses — Something that don’t get factored in a lot when exercise is
discussed are the financial savings – not to mention, the worries – that it offers in the long run. A
healthy body means less disease and less injury, preventing unwanted hospitalization and other
healthcare costs in the long term.
