PATHFIT 1 Module 4
PATHFIT 1 Module 4
LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. analyze the different type of breathing, joints, and activity-specific skills;
2. perform the different fitness activity and master specific skills;
3. develop core stability; and
4. monitor periodically your progress towards fitness.
LET US EXPLORE
Instructions: (1) While sitting in Indian position, put the bead of the balloon
in your lips. (2) Straighten your back. (3) Put your hands on your hips and try
to inhale and exhale without losing the balloon in your lips.
(4) Don’t hold the balloon until it’s full of air.
2. Do you have any misconceptions about breathing before? What are these
misconceptions?

breathing?

Types of Breathing:
1. Eupnea - a mode of breathing that occurs at rest and does not require the
cognitive thought of the individual. During eupnea, also referred to as quiet breathing,
the diaphragm and external inter-costal must contract.
2. Diaphragmatic breathing - a mode of breathing that requires the diaphragm to
contract. As the diaphragm relaxes, air passively leaves the lungs. This type of
breathing is also known as deep breathing.
Below is the table of non-locomotor skills that will greatly help in stabilizing the core:
a. Knee lifting
b. Knee flexion and extension
c. Knee and Shoulder flexion and
extension

3.1.2. Joint mobility - The passive range of motion that occurs in the articulation between
bones, measured as the total angular motion within each joint’s available degrees of
freedom. For example: flexion, extension, and internal and external rotation.

The other body-weight exercises that you can do, can also be found in the non-locomotor or
locomotor movements like squat, push up, planking, crawling and etc.
