games and sports, and as he discovers ways of
improving his movement in gymnastics and dance.
OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
1. KNOWLEDGE-it enhances critical thinking how activities

are done according to rules, regulations and strategies.
2. PHYSICAL FITNESS- improves and maintains the
workload of the individual without staggering and
undue fatigue after which have time or energy to meet
some more emergencies in life.
3. SOCIAL- to understand oneself; to get along with others
for effective living.
4. MOTOR SKILLS- it is the learning of the fundamental skills
necessary for participation in sports and games.
5. AESTHETIC- relating or responsive to or appreciative of
what is pleasurable to the senses.
6. NATIONALISM- preservation of cultural heritage through
revival of indigenous games, dances and sports.

protection of forest and aquatic resources.

Fitness
Physical Fitness
is the ability to perform one’s daily task

efficiently without undue fatigue but with
extra “ reserve” in case of emergency.
CONCEPTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
1. ORGANIC VIGOR- refers to the soundness of the heart
and the lungs, which contributes to the ability to resist
diseases.
2. ENDURANCE- is the ability to sustain long-continued
contractions where a number of muscle groups are
used; the capacity to bear or last long in a certain task
without undue fatigue.
3. STRENGTH- is the capacity to sustain the application of
force without yielding or breaking; the ability of the
muscle to exert effort against the resistance.
CONCEPTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
4. POWER- refers to the ability of the muscle to release
maximum force in a shortest period of time.
5. FLEXIBILITY- it is a quality of plasticity, which gives the
ability to do wide range of movement.
6. AGILITY- is the ability of an individual to change direction
or position in space with quickness and lightness of
movement.
7. BALANCE- is the ability to control organic equipment
neuro- muscularly; state of equilibrium.
8. SPEED- is the ability to make successive movements of
the same kind in the shortest period of time.
COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
HEALTH RELATED COMPONENTS
( Flexibility, Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular
Endurance and Body Composition)
PERFORMANCE-RELATED COMPONENTS
( Agility, Balance, Coordination, Power, and Speed)
HEALTH RELATED COMPONENTS
is a function of body’s
adaptation to exercise. It
could be developed and
maintain through the
regular and proper
exercise program.
MUSCULAR STRENGTH
•Refers to the ability of the

muscle to exert maximum
effort in brief duration. It
may be developed
through isotonic ,
isometric or isokinetic
contractions.
B. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
•Refers to the ability of muscle to endure sub maximal effort for a

prolonged period of time. Performing a strength exercise such as
push-up over a long period of time or performing the same
exercise for many continuous repetitions is a demonstration of
muscular endurance.
C. CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE
•Refers to the ability of heart, blood vessels and the lungs to
adapt to physical exertion for a prolonged duration.
•There are variables to consider when engaging in any
cardiovascular endurance.
•1. Intensity- how stressful the exercise is.
•2. Duration- how long will the exercise be performed.
•3. Frequency- number of times the individual will exercise each
week.
•4. Mode- kind of activity, such as brisk working or jogging.
D. FLEXIBILITY
•Is the ability of the muscles and joints to go through a full range
motion. Flexibility reduces the risk of injury, enhances
performance and prevents soreness. Flexibility is influenced by
three factors:
•1. Structure of joints;
•2. Amount tissues surrounding the joint; and
•3. Extensibility of the ligaments, tendons and muscle tissue that
connects the joints.
Types of stretching (basic methods used to develop joint flexibility)
Fitness of benefits of flexibility exercise
•1. Increase range of muscle joint motion;
•2. Reduced muscle stiffness and increased body
relaxation;
•3. Improved blood circulation in specific body
segment;
•4. Reduced incidence of injury during a major sport
event;
•5. Reduced risk of cardiovascular problems in exercise.
Body composition
•Refers to the proportion of lean body mass to fat body
mass.
•SOMATOTYPES
•Somatotyping or body typing is a system of classifying
an individual according to the shape of the body
•1. Ectomorph
•2. Mesomorph
•3. Endomorph
BODY COMPOSITION
Performance related fitness
•BALANCE- ability to maintain equilibrium in relation to changes
in the body composition.
•Balance categorized into two:
•Static balance- is the ability to maintain equilibrium in a fixed
position such as standing on one foot or on a balance beam.
•Dynamic balance- ability to maintain one’s equilibrium while
the body is in motion. Walking on a balance beam is one of the
example of this type of balance.
•2. COORDINATION- harmonious working relationship
between the skeletal muscle and nerves in one aspect
movement.
•3. AGILITY- ability of an individual to quickly shift or change
direction of the body from one point to another.
•4. SPEED- ability to perform a task or move from one point
to another in the shortest possible time.
•5. POWER- ability to perform one maximum effort in short
period time.
Benefits of physical fitness
1. Vitality- Muscles are basic for all body action.
•2. Posture- physically fit person is able to maintain his general postural alignment bett
than one weak musculature.
•3. Relieves Lowback Pain- relieved from this pain by exercises that strengthen the back
abdominal muscles.
•4. Retards aging process- participation in regular exercises ; postponing that usually
takes place as a person grows old.
•5.Physical fitness and ability to meet emergencies
