My Learning Essentials
Physical Activity
Physical Activity is any movement made by the skeletal muscles that uses up energy. Physical
activity includes all the activity that you do every day such as running, swimming, dancing, washing
dishes etc. Exercise is considered physical activity but more structured and planned. Regular physical
activity is important for the brain and it has proven to improve memory, not only can improve memory,
it can also improves our health and helps lower risk of illness like cancer, hypertension, cardiovascular
disease, and diabetes. The body’s systems adapt to the increasing load, resulting in greater efficiency in
these systems and thereby resulting in an increased ability to perform work by regular physical activity.
In other words, the body is able work longer and harder than it was able to before. After a person has
achieved a new level of fitness, everyday tasks are no longer as difficult as they once were.
We do not have to spend hours in a gymnasium to gain the fitness benefits of physical activity.
Every time we throw a ball, swim a lap, or climb a flight of stairs, our five main body systems are
adapting. If these activities are consistent enough, our overall fitness will improve.
Figure 1.1 The Filipino Pyramid Activity Guide.
The Filipino Pyramid Activity Guide was developed by the Philippine Association for the study of
Obesity and Overweight (2000) to encourage Filipinos to become more active. The Bottom of both
pyramids is the day-to-day activities and should be done as often as possible. These are considered light
physical activities. Recreational and aerobic activities dominate the second level. The recommendation is
that one should do these activities three to five times a week. The third level is leisure activities and
exercises for strength and flexibility. These should be done two to three times a week. The top tier
should be done minimally at best. Energy expenditure through physical activity helps in controlling
weight together with a sound diet.
What is Exercise?
Exercises are repetitive movements that aim to improve one or more components of fitness.
Three Classification of Exercises:
1. Aerobic Exercise
Aerobic Exercise moves your large muscles, such as those in your arms and legs. Aerobic
activities make your heart best faster than usual. Regular aerobic activity strengthens your heart and
lungs.
Examples: Swimming, biking, running, walking, dancing, sports such as basketball and soccer.
2. Muscle-Strengthening Exercise
Muscle-Strengthening Exercise improves strength, power and endurance of muscles.
Examples: doing push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups and lifting weights.
Muscle contraction occurs during a muscle strengthening exercise. The repetitive contractions
during exercise cause damage to muscle fibers. However, these muscle fibers are ready to be repaired
once they get damaged. The repair of muscle fibers happens after exercise while muscles are at rest.
There will be new muscle fibers produced to replace and repair those fibers that were damaged. The
muscles in the body then start to grow larger and stronger.
3. Bone-Strengthening Exercise
Bone-Strengthening Exercise helps your bones grow and keeps them strong. When your feet or
arms support your body’s weight, and your muscles push against your bones, these are bone-
strengthening activities.
Example: jumping, skipping and hopping
Each activity mentioned works differently from the other as each focuses on different target
areas in the body. But each contributes to the ultimate goal of being fit. Being fit is important and
requires a proper plan and much effort and discipline. If we want to live healthy, we need to optimize
our daily physical activities to achieve our desired level of fitness.
(FITT PRINCIPLE)
Frequency – How many often do you engage in such activity/ies?

The number of times you exercise per week. When doing cardio exercises,
especially to lose weight, frequency is an important factor to make it more effective. Start
cardio exercises for at least 3 days a week for the first few weeks, with not more than 2 days’
rest between sessions. Afterwards, we can gradually increase the frequency of exercise to 5
days a week.
Intensity – How hard/intense do you exercise?

The degree of intensity is based on the amount of work you have to put in. It is also
refers to the difficulty level of the workout. When you’re doing cardio, such as jogging, it’s equal
to the speed and distance of your running. When you’re strength training, it’s the number of
weight lifting reps you end up completing.
Time – How long do you engage in the activity/ies?

More time spent doing aerobic exercises means more calories burned and an increase in
endurance. We can at least do 20 minutes per session at first, then gradually increase it to 60
minutes.
Type – What physical activity/ies do you engage yourself in?

Running, jogging, sprinting, swimming, and playing contact sports such as basketball are
some activities that we can do to improve our heart rate. It is also important to try different
exercises and activities to avoid boredom.
