1. Importance of Physical Education


Physical Education (PE) develops students’ competence and confidence to take part in a
range of physical activities that become a central part of their lives, both in and out of
school.

Children who participate in physical Education get a workout, and they also learn the
impotance of exercise as a life long habit.

2. Objectives of Physical Education


The physical education program will teach the students to establish lifelong fitness goals.

The physical educators will serve as role models, and demonstrate knowledge of health,
physical education and wellness.

The physical education classes will provide a variety of activities which will motivate the
students and increase participation.

3. Legal Basis of Physical Education


The legal basis of physical education in the philippines can be found in philippine
constitution of 1987, Aricle 14, Section 19. It stte that: 1.)The state shall promote
physical education and encourage sports program, leage competitions and amateur
sports, including training for international competition, to foster self-desciplines,
teamwork, exellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry. 2.)All

vigorous physical exercise, and sufficient rest.

6. Importance of Physical Fitness


A person who is fit is capable of living life to its fullest extent. Physical and mental fitness
play very important roles in your lives and people who are both, physically and mentally
fit are less prone to medical conditions as well.*Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance:
The ability of body systems to gather, process and deliver oxygen.

*Stamina: The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store and utilize energy.

*Strength: The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply


force.

*Flexibility: The ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.

*Power: The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply


maximum force in minimum time.

*Speed: The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.


*Coordination: The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular
distinct movement.

*Agility: The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.

*Balance: The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation
to its support base.

*Accuracy: The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.

8. Components of Physical Fitness


Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to
provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. Examples
would be jogging, cycling and swimming. The Cooper Run is used most often to test
cardiovascular endurance.

Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the
bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to test muscular
strength.

Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without


fatiguing. Examples would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines. The sit up
test is most often used to test muscular endurance.

Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a
specific joint. Examples would be stretching individual muscles or the ability to perform
certain functional movements such as the lunge. The sit and reach test is most often
used to test flexibility.

Body composition is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and
organs. This can be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold readings, and
bioelectrical impedance. Underwater weighing is considered the “gold standard” for
body fat measurement, however because of the size and expense of the equipment
needed very few places are set up to do this kind of measurement.

9. Benefits of Health and Wellness


The benefits of Health and wellness are topics that everyone is talking about these days.
But, only a few will actually benefit from a healthy and physically fit lifestyle. People who
eat healthy and work out will have the benefits of a great body and are more physically
attractive. They are more likely to have a better sex life and more romantic involvements,
which in turn can make them more satisfied with life.

10. Introduction of Gymnastics


Gymnastics is a rhythm sport that tests the athlete's mental and physical strength, the
balance, flexibility, and strength gymnasts' exhibit in doing their routines is not easy, it's
the product from years of dedicated training.

11. Objectives of Gymnastics


*Helping members to develop physical confidence.

*Helping members to develop mentally.

*Promoting balance and co-ordination.

*Developing strength, improving flexibility.

*Improving body posture.

*Developing social skills.

12. Phases of Gymnastics Program


Gymnastics is a complex sport. Both male and female gymnasts must have adequate
strength, power, flexibility, balance and artistry to successfully compete in every
apparatus. To accomplish their goals, gymnasts train diligently for years. The different
phases of a gymnastics program help gymnasts improve their skills, avoid injury and
build up their physical condition.

*Warm Up

Every gymnastics training program should begin with a warm-up to avoid injuries during
practice. The gymnasts on the United States National Team, for example, jump rope or
jump up and down on the floor for about five minutes to start their workout. Then, they
perform head and wrist rolls, shoulder circles, arm swings, trunk twists, foot stretches
and different running exercises. All of these moves prepare the athletes' bodies to work
on more difficult skills.

*Flexibility

After adequately warming up, gymnasts must work on their flexibility. You should never
stretch cold muscles, since you could risk an injury. During this phase of practice, you
should practice your side splits, center split and back bridge. You must also stretch your
hamstrings, groin, quads, shoulders, calves and wrists. All of this will enable you to move
your body with more ease as you perform your gymnastics routines.

*Strength Training

Gymnastics requires an incredible amount of strength. You can build muscle and become
more powerful through conditioning and other strength-training exercises. For example,
the gymnasts on the U.S. National Team perform a series of crunches, jumps and V-ups.
You can also use dumbbells and barbells, although you should focus more on repetitions
than weight. Younger gymnasts should only lift weights under supervision to prevent
accidents.

*Skills

After working on strength and flexibility, gymnasts finally start practicing their
competitive skills. Women train on the vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor
exercise, while men perform on the vault, floor exercise, parallel bars, horizontal bar,
pommel horse and still rings. Additionally, both can also tumble on the trampoline,
tumbling track or flip into the foam pit, especially when learning new, difficult skills.

*Dance

Many female gymnasts also devote part of their training program to dance. This is
because routines on the balance beam and floor exercise must incorporate dance
movements. Dance will improve your body alignment and teach you to have more
control over every part of your body, which will then better your form and reduce the
risk of injuries.
