Lesson
Physical Activities

Good day, students in grade 10! I'm glad I've arrived at this stage. As a
student, this is the most exciting time. You've arrived at the section where you'll
learn new information. You'll be given tasks to complete that will put your prior
knowledge to the test and could inspire you to become more physically active.
This module will assist you in getting started and mentally preparing for
the following section. We'll go over our previous lesson again.

LEARNING COMPETENCIES
In this module you are expected to:

Engage in moderate to vigorous physical activities for at least 60 minutes

a day in and out of school.
For your physical activity you are supposed to perform a basic dance
routine at the end of this module. This activity will encourage you to share what
you've learned about shaping society's fitness through cheerleading and
contemporary dancing.

All of us are staying at home and sitting down more than normal because
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us find it difficult to exercise in the way we
usually do. It's also more difficult for people who don't engage in any physical
activity on a regular basis.
However, it is important for people of all ages and abilities to be as
involved as possible during this time.
Physical activity or exercise will improve your health and reduce your risk
of developing diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular
disease. Physical activity and exercise can provide immediate and long-term
health benefits. Most importantly, regular movement will help you improve your
quality of life. You should set aside at least 30 minutes a day to enjoy these
advantages.
Dancing can be helpful.

 What is It
Physical activity refers to bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles. It requires
energy expenditure and produces progressive health benefits. Physical activity typically
requires only low to moderate intensity effort.

Exercise is a type of physical activity that requires planned, structured, and repetitive
bodily movement to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness.

Intensity of Exercise

Indeed more noteworthy health and cardio protective benefits, and higher and quicker
enhancements in CR fitness (VO2max), in any case are accomplished essentially in spite of
the fact that overwhelming escalated programs (at an escalated over 60 percent).

1. Wellbeing and CR wellness benefits result when a individual is working between

30 to 85 percent of heart rate save (HRR) combined with an suitable length and
frequency of preparing.
2. Wellbeing benefits are accomplished when preparing at a lower exercise intensity,
that's, between 30 to 60 percent of the person’s HRR.

BODY MASS INDEX AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

The terms used overweight and obesity are both used describe situations in which
the body weight is higher than that suggested for optimal health, since being overweight
or corpulent increments the chance of creating diseases or wellbeing issues.

Waist Circumference

The hazard is lower for those who have fat distributed more around the hips and
thighs (called gynoid weight and commonly alluded to as a pear-shaped physical
make-up) than for those who carry fat on the trunk or abdominal area (called android
weight, commonly called an apple-shaped physical make-up).

1. The habit of engaging in physical exercises which may come may come within the
form of active recreation will inevitably decrease chance of hypokinetic illnesses.
2. To appreciate modern-day comforts and live life to its fullest, be that as it may, you
have got to form a personalized lifetime work out program a portion of living.

Common Injuries Involved in Recreation

Sprains
1. Your ligaments are tough, elastic-like bands that connect bone to bone and hold your
joints in place.
2. A sprain is an injury to a ligament caused by tearing of the fibers of the ligament.
3.Ankle sprains are the most common type of sprain.

Strains

1. Inflammation of the muscle or tendon can also cause a strain.

2. A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon.
3. You may simply overstretch a muscle or tendon, or you may tear a muscle or
tendon.

Knee Injuries
1. Knee Injuries Due to its complex structure and weight-bearing work, the knee is the
most commonly harmed joint.
2. Due to its complex structure and weight-bearing work, the knee is the most
commonly harmed joint.

Fractures
1. A break may be a break within the bone that can happen from either a speedy, one-
time injury to the bone (intense break) or from rehashed push to the bone over time
(stress fracture).

2. The most common indication of a push break is torment at the location that
compounds with weight bearing exercises.

8
Dislocations
1. Contact sports such as football, basketball and lacrosse, as well as tall affect sports
that can result in over the top extending or falling, cause the larger part of
disengagements.
2. When two bones that come together to create a joint ended up isolated, the joint is
depicted as being disengaged.

Symptoms of Mentioned Injuries:

• pain
• swelling
• bruising
• difficult and painful movement deformity
• a pop, snap or tear is sometimes felt or heard when the injury occurs.

1. Keep the injured area from moving

2. Put a rigid material (splint) next to the injury, and tie or tape it in place.
3. Control any bleeding

Ways to control bleeding:

- Apply direct pressure to the source of the bleeding with gauze or a cloth to
stop the bleeding.
-If a bone has broken through the skin, cover the wound with loosely wrapped
gauze or cloth

First Aid for Fractures:

Apply the PRICED method

Protection- Remove additional risk or danger in the injured area

Rest-Stop moving the injured area.

DANCING

17
 What is It
Dance
A profound solitary artistic and creative endeavor that requires introspection,philosophical
analysis and complex conceptualization.

Dance literatures and signature basic steps are already inherent to these dances which
serve as identifying steps to the dance.
1. Creative Dance - Dances that are created out of two approaches, the elemental
approach and creative approach. Such dances include folk dance, ballroom dance, and
ballet.
2. Interpretative Dance - Dances that are meant to be interpreted for performances
and staging.Dances that fall under this classification include modern-contemporary
dance, jazz, pop and hip-hop (b-boying).

Elemental Approach in the Creation of Dance

A. Elements of Dance:

1. Space
Refers to the space through which the dancer's body moves (general or personal
space, level, size, direction, pathway, focus)

a. Floor Pattern Designs made by the body because it moves through space
illustrations of which incorporate lines, letters, shapes or polygons, and other non-
geometric patter ns.
b. Direction - The course or way in which development is coordinated with
reference to the frontal plane of the body. Cases incorporate forward, in reverse,
sideward, corner to corner sideward and upward.
c. Focus - Individual center is the point of consideration by the entertainer
whereas performing, whereas common center is the point of consideration that the
entertainer draws the gathering of people
d. Dimension - How entertainers show up with reference to the audience’s see.
The closer the entertainer, the greater he would show up; the more distant the
entertainer, the littler he would show up. Measurement has something to do with
viewpoint.
e. Balance - It may be static or dynamic in nature. Static balance is balance at
rest, while dynamic balance is balance in motion.
f. Levels - They are classified as low, middle and high with the lowest level the
basis of middle and high levels.
g. Mass and Volume - This is dictated by the number of bodies performing
through space. There are dances or parts of the dance performance that require more
dancers while some require less or few.
h. Contours and Shapes - Shapes and forms created by the body or bodies as
they move through space.

2. Time
Time in dance dictates and determines its speed or length, its mood, and the energy
required in its performance.
18
3. Energy
Two dancers might be executing same movement, but differ in the manner of
executionand level of energy exerted.
Energy in dance makes the difference in terms of the intensity of movement.

B. With reference to the amount of energy used in the performance of movement:

1. pendular: swinging, swaying
2. percussive: strong, big, abrupt, and striking movements
3. vibratory: series of rapid and quickly executed small percussive movements
4. sustained: movement with no preparation, beginning, and unnoticeable end

C. With reference to the application of energy in the performance of movement:

1. Locomotor Movement -- allows one to move from one point to another

a. Walk
Series of steps executed by both of your feet alternately in any direction.
in executing a walk, observe that there is this moment when both feet
are in contact with the ground while one foot supports the weight and
transfers it to the other.
b. Run
Series of walks executed quickly in any direction wherein only one
foot stays on the ground while the other is off the ground.
c. Jump
This movement is simply described by having both feet lose contact
withthe ground. There are five ways to do it:
 Take off from one foot and land on the same;
 Take off from one foot and land on the other;
 Take off from one foot and land on both feet;
 Take off from both feet and land on one foot; and
 Take off from both feet and land on both.

2. Non-Locomotor Movement
These are movements that are performed in one point in space without
transferring to another point. They do not allow you to move from one place to
the other. These movements include:
a. Flexion
It is the act of decreasing the angle of a joint. Another term for flexion is to
bend.If you bend a joint, like your elbow or knee, you are performing flexion.
b. Extension
This is the opposite of flexion. You are extending if you are increasing the
angleof a joint. Stretching is another word for extension.
c. Contraction
A muscle movement done when it shortens, narrows and tightens using
sufficient amount of energy in the execution.
d. Release
A muscle movement opposite to contraction done when it lets go or lets loose
from being held.
e. Collapse
To deliberately drop the exertion of energy in a body segment.
f. Recover
The opposite of collapse. This is to regain the energy exerted in a body
segment.
19
 g. Rotation
To rotate is to move a body segment to form a circle. It is not only limited to
circumduction which is done in ball and socket joints. Rotation can also be done in
the neck, wrists, waist, knees and ankles.
h. Twist
To move a body segment from an axis halfway front or back or quarter to the right
or left as in the twisting of the neck allowing the head to face right or left and the
like.
i. Pivot
To change the position of the feet or any body part that carries the body’s weight
allowing the body to face in a less than 360 degrees turn.
j. Turn
To move in a turning movement with a base of support, usually a pointed foot,
the other raised, while equilibrium is maintained until the completion of the turn.

III. Improvisation
Improvisation is the act of improvisation and which means creating something
modern,something diverse and something unordinary and non-habitual.

IV. Technique and Technique Development

Technique is the exceptional way of performing or executing a certain improvised
movement so that the body will adapt to it and later as it adapts, will be executed
automatically and effortlessly.

A. Lengthening Techniques:
In terms of vitality application to movement, we have maintained or smooth streaming
developments, pendular or swinging development, percussive or solid striking
movements, and vibratory or little and quick percussive developments.
There are numerous others but these are a few of the foremost viable methods utilized
by experienced move artists and choreographers: Mirroring mirroring the developments
done by a artist in confront to face formation.

V. Creative Approach in the Creation Of Dance

1. picture This represents the whole concept of the dance presentation; it may
answer the need for peace, for example, on why it is represented by a cross.
2. climax The highest point of interest in the dance performance or presentation
where the lead characters, both the protagonist and antagonist take action
against each other.
3. It might come in the form of tangible or intangible (idea/object) that represents
the whole idea of the dance presentation.
4. conflict the turning point of the dance performance; it shows the need for a
problem to be settled or resolved.
5. The cross stands as the seed of the dance presentation and can be represented
in any way in any form as the dance preparations progress.
