1. What are the words you’ve got from activity 1?
2. How those word associated with Physical Fitness?
Activity 3: Picture Analysis
 
Directions: identify the Physical Fitness components related on each picture and
write your own definition about it under 2 sentences.
 
 PHYSICAL FITNESS
Physical fitness is a combination of medical fitness (body soundness)
and dynamic fitness (capacity for action). A physically fit person is
free from disease and can move and perform efficiently. Neither
good health nor physical proficiency alone constitutes physical
fitness, which combines both qualities. Another factor is emotional
factor. This is readily apparent in athletic contests, where good
performance requires self-discipline, effective teamwork, and the
ability to remain calm under stress.
 
Medical fitness and dynamic fitness usually go together, but it is
possible to possess one without the other. Many people who are
medically sound may also be weak and unable to endure strenuous
physical exertion. They are described as being “out of condition”.
Other people with chronic health
problems are physically strong and skilled. Intensive
conditioning helps them to offset the handicaps of bad
health.
 
Physical Fitness is the primary specific objective in
teaching Physical Education. Thus, it is in order that PE
teachers should have the correct concept of Physical
Fitness.
 
Physical Fitness is the ability of an individual to
perform one’s daily activities efficiently without undue
fatigue, reduce the risk of health problems and with extra
“reserve” in case of emergency.
IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL FITNESS

Safety Issue and Concerns
Physical activity is essential for a healthy body and mind and
although there are valid safety concerns, generally better than harm
comes from engaging in physical activity. Choosing an appropriate
environment for one’s preferred activity contributes to a high safety
level.
Cardiovascular risk
It is known that physical activity generally decreases the risk of
certain diseases, including heart disease in individuals, but
cardiovascular problems such as a heart attack or arrhythmia are
some of the risks that may arise when taking part in physical activity.
While some may feel that the majority of heart attacks happen to
individuals during exercise, approximately 90% of all heart attacks
actually occur at rest and not while exercising.
 
Joint and mobility risk
Joints of the body, including the knees and ankles, have to
bear a lot of stress from movement, especially in individuals
who affected by obesity or overweight. The body weight of
an individual, along with the activity that they participate in,
and the mechanical movement determines the load of force
on a joint.2 For example, running has a greater impact on the
joints than biking, and this effect is compounded by higher
body weight.
