 What It Is

A. STRENGTH TRAINING
Strength training specializes in the inducement of muscular contraction
through the use of free weights, weight machines, and resistance bands which builds
the strength, size of skeletal muscles, and anaerobic endurance. It strengthens and
increases the amount of muscle mass in the body by making the muscles work
harder than they're used to. It improves overall health and well-being because the
bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments are strengthened and toughened. It also
increases metabolism, improves cardiac function, and elevates good cholesterol.
Strength training is most commonly seen as a weight-bearing activity. There
are two terms concerning strength exercises: Repetition and sets. A rep (repetition)
is one full movement from the starting point to finish. A set is a group of repetitions.
The most basic training design is to have anywhere between 6 and 15 reps in a set
and performing 3 sets. Some people will go for 6 to 9 reps, some will go for 9-12 and
some will go for 12-15 reps in a set. These numbers are for upper body strength
training. The lover body reps must be anywhere between 15-25 reps also with an
approximate of three sets.
Benefits of the Weight-Bearing Strength Training Exercises
With a good strength training program, a learner will:
1. have an increase in muscle strength;
2. strengthen tendons and ligaments;
3. improve in a range of motion joints;
4. have a reduction of body fat and increase in lean muscle mass;
5. potentially improve his/her blood pressure levels;
6. gain positive changes in levels of blood cholesterol;
7. gain an improvement in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity;
and
8. gain overall strength, balance, and functional ability.
Precautionary measures
Even if we are so concentrated on developing a healthy and active lifestyle, we
still need to consider our safety. So, bear in mind the following precautionary
measures:

1. Before engaging yourself in the activity, warm up first through

walking. After doing the exercise, cool down for five to ten minutes
through stretching.
2. Align the body correctly and move smoothly through each exercise.
Focus on form, not weight. Poor form can cause injuries and slow
gains. When learning a strength training routine, start with no
weight, or very lightweight, then concentrate on slow-smooth lifts
and equally control descents while isolating a muscle group.

6 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
 3. To be in control is to work at the right tempo. Take three counts while
lowering weight and hold, then count three again while raising it to the
starting position.
4. Pay attention to your breathing during workouts. Exhale while working
against resistance by lifting, pushing, or pulling and inhale at every
release.
5. Keep challenging muscles by slowly increasing weight or resistance. The
right weight differs depending on the exercise.
6. Stick with the routine. Working all the major muscles of the body two or
three times a week is ideal.
7. Give time for muscles to recover too. Strength training causes tiny tears in
muscle tissue. These tears aren't harmful, but they are important. Muscles
grow stronger as the tears knit hours to recover before the next strength
training session. Always give the muscles at least 48 hours to recover
before the next strength training session.

THE FIVE BASIC STRENGTH TRAINING EXERCISES

1. Push-ups- Regular
push-ups are
prescribed to most
people. However, for
some who have health
concerns, newbies,
and even females,
they may start with
knee push-ups.
Regular push-ups are performed with the body forming a straight line from the heels.
The body is lowered until the chest is approximately one fist off the ground. The body
is then pushed off the ground to return to its original position.

2. Superman- From
prone lying position,
lift both arms and
legs. Try not to bend
the legs; then lower
arms and legs without
relaxing the ground.

3. Crunches- From
the supine lying
position while legs are
bent with arms
touching the ears, lift
the head and
shoulders with the
shoulder blades lifting
off completely from the ground. Return to the original position while keeping the head
elevated off the ground.

7 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
 4. Side crunches-
Starting with legs
together and bent, lie
on one side. Extend
the arm close to the
ground 30-45
degrees from the
body as support or
balance. Position the
other arm across the chest or have it float in front of it. Lift the shoulder closer to
the ground while legs and the chest slightly face upward. Return to the original
position without letting the shoulder touch the ground.

5. Squats- From an
upright position with
arms and hands
crossed in front of the
chest or up, squat
lower until the thighs
are parallel to the
ground. The chest
and butt must be pushed out and the knee must not thrust forward beyond the toes.
Return to the original position, keeping both legs and slightly

C. FOOD REQUIREMENTS
The way we eat when we were children may strongly affect our eating behavior
as adults. When we repeat this behavior over many years, it becomes a habit. Eating
proper food and proper exercise should go hand in hand to achieve a healthy and
active lifestyle.
Every year, many people check their general level of physical fitness. Some
people choose to focus on increasing physical activity while others choose to begin
eating healthy and nutritious food.
A combination of good exercise routine and consistent intake of a balanced
diet can help achieve a well-rounded health and fitness level.

Food and Nutrients

There are different dietary and nutritional requirements for each method used
to increase levels of general fitness. The food that you eat serves as fuel for your
various activities.
Every year many people check on their general levels of fitness. A combination
of good exercise routine and consistent healthy food intake can help someone achieve
a well-rounded health and fitness program.

8 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
WATER - During exercise, evaporation is
usually the primary mechanism of heat
dissipation. The temperature rises rapidly if
the body cannot adequately evaporate sweat
from the skin’s surface. Continuous sweating
might lead to losing valuable fluids from the
reservoir within the body. The rate is being
related to exercise intensity, individual
differences, environmental conditions,
acclimatization state, clothing, and baseline
hydration status. Eight or more glasses of water a day keep
us hydrated.EE

CARBOHYDRATES - The majority of your

diet must consist of healthy, natural
carbohydrates. These should not come from
sugar (even though sugar is packed with
carbohydrates). Get your carbohydrates from
natural sources such as rice and whole
grains.

Rice is a good source of carbohydrates.

PROTEIN - Protein is very important if you

add strength training to your aerobic routine.
You need to consider protein to be an integral
part of your diet. The amino acids that
makeup proteins are the small amount of acid
that makes every biological function of your
body possible. For those trying to lose weight,
diets high in protein and fiber are very likely
to limit cravings and make you feel full faster
and longer. Pork is one good source of protein.

FRUITS and VEGETABLES - Make your plate

filled with fruits and vegetables. Dark green,
red, orange vegetables, have high levels of
nutrients such as vitamin C, calcium, and
fiber. Adding spinach or romaine lettuce and
tomato to your sandwich is the easiest way to
get more veggies in your meal
Tomatoes and eggplant are some of the
nutritious food our body needs.

GRAINS - Choose whole grains, like whole-

wheat bread, brown rice, and oatmeal. It is also
best to consume them with fruits.

Wheat bread is more advisable to eat.

9 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
DAIRY - If you are trying to build strong bones,
drink fat-free, or low-fat milk products. In
some cases, when you cannot digest lactose,
there are alternatives that you can have like
soy or rice milk and low-fat yogurt instead.

Milk builds strong bones.

PIZZA, CANDY, and FAST FOOD - You don’t

need to deprive yourself of eating these items.
Eating less of them may help you maintain a
healthy weight. Pizza, candy, fast food, and
sodas have a lot of added sugar, solid fats, and
sodium which could be beneficial at some point
especially when consumed in the proper
amounts. A healthy eating plan should still be
observed. Pizza must be eaten in moderation.

ADDED SUGAR - Fruits are naturally sweet

not like cookies, snack cakes, and brownies,
which have added sugar to make them taste
better. Sugar adds calories but has no
nutrients, so you need to have less intake or
consumption of it.

Cookies have added sugar thus, these

must be consumed in moderation.

SOLID FATS - Fat helps your body grow and

develop. It is a source of energy and it even
keeps your skin and hair healthy. But some
fats are better for you than others. Solid fats
are fats that are solid at room temperature, like
butter, stick margarine, shortening, and lard.
They often contain saturated trans-fat, which
is high in calories and not healthy for the heart
so be easy on cakes, cookies, pizza, and fries
which often have a lot of solid fat. Margarine is an example of solid fats.

SODIUM - Your body needs a small amount of

sodium. But, consuming too much of this can
raise your blood pressure, which is unhealthy
for your heart and your body in general.
Processed foods, like those that are canned,
frozen, or packaged, often have a lot of salt. Try
to use less than one teaspoon of salt in
preparing food when cooking.
Too much salt in the body absorbs
too much water

Skipping meals may lead to weight gain. Follow these tips to maintain a
healthy weight.

10 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
1. Eat breakfast every day. It gets your body going. You can even grab something on
the go, like a piece of fruit and a slice of whole-grain bread. It also helps you
concentrate on your studies or even enables you to focus on your work brought
about by the power of taking regular breakfast.
2. Pack your lunch. Aside from being economical, if you pack your lunch, you can
control the portions and can ensure a healthy meal since you prepare it.
3. Eat healthy snacks and try not to skip meals. If you can bring your snack, then do
so. Eat boiled bananas, camote, and the like instead of taking junk food.
4. Take dinner with your family. When you eat with your family, you are more likely
to eat a healthy meal, and you can take the time to catch up with each other.
5. Be involved in grocery shopping and meal planning at home. If you’re involved, you
can make sure meals are healthy and taste good. Share your knowledge with your
parents while picking up your groceries and strengthen your bonding, too.

Proper Nutrition for Exercise

Nutrition is the health branch of health science that emphasizes the
importance of food for growth and development, as well as in lowering the chances
of acquiring diseases and illnesses. Proper nutrition depends on the mix of food with
varied nutrients that we need to consume every day. Having too much or too little of
these nutrients can lead to disorders, so keep principles of nutrition like adequacy,
balance, and variety. Nutrients are important food substances that help our body
function properly. They provide energy and facilitate the growth and repair of cells.
Macronutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and water are
mandatory intake by the body in large amounts. Micronutrients such as vitamins
and minerals are only needed in very little amounts. They all aid our bodies to
produce enzymes, hormones, and other substances critical to growth and
development.

D. FITT PRINCIPLE
The FITT Principle is an acronym for Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type.
These are the key factors in designing an exercise program that will address the
current fitness level; provide means to overload the body; and trigger positive
adaptations. These variables can be modified occasionally to consistently challenge
the body to become stronger. It is important to remember that increasing the
workload should be done one variable at a time to prevent chronic injuries or
overtraining. The proposed recommendations should be observed to reduce the
likelihood of injury and encourage the adoption of an active lifestyle.
The frequency (number of sessions in a week) of an exercise program
depends on the current fitness level of a person and the type of activity performed. It
is important to provide rest days to allow the body to recover. Consequently,
beginners should exercise less frequently as compared to athletes. As the fitness level
increases, the individual can increase the number of sessions gradually. Some
individuals train twice or thrice every day. However, one should refrain from
designing his/her program (especially for beginners) this way because it leads to
burnout and possible injuries.
The intensity (difficulty level of the exercise or work demand) of an
exercise, refers to the difficulty level of the workout. It is important to set a workload
that is more challenging than what one is used to. This factor is affected by the
current fitness level and the time allotted to an exercise session. Each type of exercise
has its method of estimating intensity. Current research indicates that exercise
intensity is the most important factor in improving fitness levels.
The time or duration (duration or distance covered in an exercise session)
of an exercise session is influenced by the intensity and the type of activity
performed. An exercise that is performed at a high-intensity level cannot be sustained
for a long period time. Furthermore, a stretching program usually takes a shorter
period to complete as compared to a resistance training program.
Lastly, the type (mode of exercise or activity) of activity is influenced by the
fitness goal and the current fitness level. The program should be designed to produce
the best activity that will specifically address the fitness goal. For instance, an
individual who wants to develop his or her endurance to swim 2 kilometers should
choose swimming as his or her main activity though there are strategies to achieve
this goal. There is no single exercise for a specific goal, but one can choose from
various alternatives or activities that will provide enjoyment to him/ her. This is
where the art and science of exercise prescription come into play.

What It Is

Heart Rate

The heart rate is an indicator of the level of participation in physical activity.

The intensity of activity is measured by the percentage of the maximum heart rate
(maxHR) during exercise, which means the maximum number of times the heart
contracts in one minute. An easy formula to determine your maximum heart rate,
based on your age, is called the Maximum Heart Rate (MaxHR).

Prediction Equation: MaxHR FORMULA = 220 - your age

However, this only gives you an estimate, as the maximum heart rate varies
for different people. The aging factor affects this formula and maxHR decreases as
one gets older. A more accurate measure of heart rate is known as the maximal stress
test (VO2, max). This test makes use of a treadmill or exercise bike. Another accurate
way to measure the heart rate is through a heart rate monitor that uses either watch
or chest strap attached with a device that measures one's heart rate and calculates
its percentage against your maxHR.

Rate of Perceived Exertion

The Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) can measure exercise intensity and can
be combined with the Prediction Equation. A number is assigned to coincide with the
subjective feelings of exercise exertion (from 1 to 10). Based on the given number

18 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
(RPE), there is an assigned ratio scale. The higher the number given by the exerciser,
the higher the level of exertion is. To use this text, the exerciser is tasked to determine
the approximate level of his/her exertion between 1 and 10.
The equivalents are as follows:

RPE Approximate Level of Exertion

1 10 % No Exertion
2 20% Very Very Weak
3 30% Very Weak
4 40% Weak
5 50% Moderate
6 60% Somewhat Strong
7 70 % Strong
8 80 % Very Strong
9 90 % Very very strong
10 100 % Maximal Exertion

This is the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale. If you want to measure
the intensity of your workouts, get familiar with the numbers. In simple
terms, the numbers correspond to the intensity of exercise. Have you seen
this chart? How is it related to the Philippine activity pyramid?

If the student gives a number of 5, for example, he/she garners an exertion

level of 5, which means that he/she would more or less, be at his/her 50% personal
maxHR. This value can then be compared to the Prediction Equation, which is based
on the student's age. A simple way of determining the maxHR is through this
formula.

220- age (for example, 20 years old) = 200 (maxHR of the student)
RPE = 5 (exertion = 5, or approximately 50% heart rate)

Therefore, at the rate the student is exercising, the heart rate should be 100
bpm (beats per minute).
200-20= 20
200 x .50 = 100

Activity 1: Try this one. Compute for the maximum heart rate of a 24-year old
athlete whose RPE is 8. Show your step-by-step computation in your activity
notebook.

You just did a computation

on heart rate. Now, it’s
time to create your own
fitness plan.

FITT PRINCIPLE

Exercise is an activity that stimulates the body to adapt and become stronger.
The stimulus has to be appropriate to derive health benefits. If the stimulus is too
light, the body will not adapt, and if it is too hard, it may cause some injuries. The
exercise program should be designed to fit the current health condition of the
individual and it should be interesting. The FITT Principle is a helpful guide in
designing a personalized fitness program.

Lesson

4 Making it Part of Life

Hello! You are about to

finish this module with
your last lesson. Ready?
Let’s proceed.

Being well and fit enables one to perform everyday duties and daily routines
from moderate-to-vigorous levels without excessive fatigue or getting tired and
become miserable at the end of the day. One should still have the strength to perform
other activities for recreation. There are contributory factors
for being fit. One of which is the fitness activity.

A fitness activity includes physical movements designed to burn fats or

calories. Everybody can benefit from regular physical activities, whether it be
moderate or vigorous activities. The greater amount of physical activity, 'longer
duration', or greater intensity' can provide additional health benefits. Some of the
suggested fitness activities are strength training, walking, running, and jogging.

What is It

Lifting weights is as important as those exercises using one’s body weight for
resistance or resistance bands. This type of exercise increases lean muscle mass
which is particularly important for weight loss sine lean muscles burn more calories
than other types of tissues. When you drop pounds, you can also lose muscle, so it's

21 CO_Q1_Physical Education10_Module1
important to do resistance training to keep that muscle mass especially for those
learners whose BMI falls under obese, overweight, and underweight. This is all
part of improving and maintaining one’s Body Mass Index (BMI).
Benefits of Strength Training
• Increases lean muscle mass (or prevention of its loss) – Continuous strength
training will help tone your muscles because of its repetitive action or
contraction of the muscle
• Increases bone density and reduced risk of osteoporosis- As we age, our bone
density changes and our bone becomes more brittle so strength training can
help reduce the risk of osteoporosis which is the main problem of older people.
• Increases muscle strength to make everyday activities easier- The muscle gets
immune with the strength being exerted and it will help you accomplish
harder work easily and with ease.
• Lowers risk of injury (by allowing the muscles to better support the joints).
Exercising the joint to achieve its maximum range could be attained through
strength training. As a result, the individual can accomplish more tasks.
Use your resourcefulness in doing the next activity. You need plastic bottles,
water, sand, pebbles, or soil. Filling the bottles with water, sand, or pebbles is a good
substitute for dumbbells.

Reminder:
1. Make sure to undergo warm-up exercises first to condition yourself in doing
the suggested activity.
2. Perform in a wide space and make sure you are wearing comfortable fitness
attire.
3. Hydrate yourself.
4. Have someone observe you (any member of the family) while performing to get
instructions relating to execution, safety, and security.
