Unit 1: Physical Fitness Literacy

Physical Education
-is an integral part of educational program designed to promote the optimum development of an
individual physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and spiritually through total body movements and
with the coordination of the different physical activities designated.

FIVE ASPECT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION


1. Physically
2. Mentally
3. Socially
4. Emotionally
5. Spiritually

Physical Activity
-refers to the bodily movement produced by the skeletal muscles that require energy expenditure.

Domains of Physical Activity

Occupational- work related activities.


Example activity: Climbing the stairs and lifting objects.

Domestics- activities done at home.


Example activity: Household chores

Transportation- activities for travelling or for commuting.


Example activity: Walking and cycling.

Leisure Time- activities for recreation.


Example activity: sports, exercise and hobbies.

Exercise
- Is a type of Physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful attempt to
improve the or maintain physical fitness

Type of Physical Activity

1. Aerobic Activities
- This also known as ‘’Cardio or Endurance Activity’’
- These activities improve the efficiency of aerobic energy production and cardio respiratory
endurance.
*Active recreation activities.
Hiking, skateboarding, brisk walking, running, and biking and sports such as swimming, basketball and
tennis.

2. Muscle-Strengthening Activities
- These activities are collectively called ‘’Resistance Training’’
- Are primarily used to improve muscular strength and muscular power.
*Activities
Dance, cycling, push-ups, squats and yoga.

3. Bone-Strengthening Activities
- This is also known or referred to as a ‘’Weight- Bearing or Weight Loading Activity.’’
- It produces forces on the bone that promote bone growth and strength.
- It also involves a person’s feet impacting the ground.
BASIC FUNCTIONS OF ENERGY SYSTEM
Energy – represents the capacity to do work

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)


- Is a molecule that serves as a usable form of energy. It is used in the repair of muscle tissues and in
the transport of nutrients to the cell around the body.
-fuel for our body.

Phosphocreatine (Pcr)
- It is found in tissues in small amount it can rapidly replenish ATP but cannot be used as an instant
source of energy.

PRIMARY SOURCE OF ENERGY


CARBOHYDRATES
-when digested it becomes glucose
FATS
-when digested it becomes fatty acid.
PROTEIN
-when digested it becomes amino acid

THREE ENERGY SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GENERATION OF OUR ENERGY


1. PHOSPHAGEN SYSTEM (8-10 seconds)
- Fastest way of acquiring energy to muscle
- Short burst of intense activity such as five second sprints or jumping.
- athletes competing in sporting event such as the 100-meter dash, discus throw and javelin throw
and weight lifting.

2.ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS (10 seconds -2mins)


- This is the second fastest way of obtaining energy to keep the muscle contracting. The term
ANAEROBIC means ‘’without oxygen’’. it also acts as a support by providing the necessary energy.

3. AEROBIC SYSTEM (5mins plus)


- This system requires oxygen that is why it is called ’’OXIDATIVE SYSTEM’’
- Although Aerobic system is the slowest in generating energy in the body, it can continue supply the
body with energy as long as there is a continuous supply of oxygen, glucose and glycogen.
- Allows the body to metabolize fat and use fatty acids as energy source.

NECESSARY NUTRIENTS NEEDED FOR THE OPERATION OF THE HUMAN ENERGY SYSTEM.
WATER- Helps to break up and convert some energy compounds

VITAMINS- are needed for energy to be released from the cell sources.

MINERALS - also essential for cellular energy processes.
