WHAT IS PHYSICAL EDUCATION?

 Physical Education is "education through the
physical".
 It aims to develop students’ physical competence
and knowledge of movement and safety, and their
ability to use these to perform in a wide range of
activities associated with the development of an
active and healthy lifestyle. It also develops
students’ confidence and generic skills, especially
those of collaboration, communication, creativity,
critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. These,
together with the nurturing of positive values and
attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation for
students’ lifelong and life-wide learning.
WHY STUDENTS HAVE TO STUDY
PHYSICAL EDUCATION?
 Article XIV Section 19 of the 1987
Constitution states that “the State shall
promote physical education and encourage
sports programs, league competitions, and
amateur sports, Including training for
international competitions, to foster self-
discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the
development of a healthy and alert citizenry.
All educational institutions shall undertake
regular sports activities throughout the
country in cooperation with athletic clubs and
other sectors. ”
 FITNESS CONCEPTS
Introduction
Many diseases and health issues are due to a lack of
awareness among people and untimely action.

This chapter will describe the concepts and principles

of physical activity and its benefits to a physically active
lifestyle. Moreover, students will learn about the different
health-related fitness components that make-up physical
fitness. These components enable students to determine
which part of their fitness approach they should address.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY (PA)
- a body movement produced by muscle action that
increases energy usage, including physical exercise.
PHYSICAL EXERCISE
- a precise term where physical exercise is planned,
organized, and done repeatedly to improve or
maintain physical fitness. For example, gardening or
walking up stairs in one’s home may not be
classified as structured “exercise”, but it is
undoubtedly physical activity.
PHYSICAL FITNESS (PF)
- Physical fitness is the ability to meet all the ordinary
demands of life without becoming tired and to
respond to extra demands when necessary.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LOG
- This is the students’ journal that help fit exercise
into their daily life. It is a good way to measure their
progress so they can see small improvements over
time. Giving the feeling of satisfaction, boost their
confidence, and keep them committed to regular
activity.

HEALTH
- is an indication of an individual’s overall physical,
mental, and social well-being. It is more than an absence
of disease. Health is a trait that is not constant in time
and can change from near-death (ill health) to optimal well-
being (high-level wellness).
 Lesson 1 Physical Activity

DO YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE PHYSICALLY FIT?

 Being fit means the body can do everything it want to

do. The body comes with flexibility, endurance, strength,
etc.
 Physical activity means the performance of the body
that uses energy. Walking, gardening, climbing the stairs,
playing soccer, doing house chores, or dancing are good
examples of being active. To be healthy, participate in
moderate to vigorous intensity of physical activity.
Physical Activity
 The intensity level can classify physical activity, whether
it is exercise or non-exercise. These could be light,
moderate, and vigorous. Physical activity has many
benefits when done regularly. It will:
• Reduce the risk of heart attack
• Manage weight better
• Have lower cholesterol level
• Decrease the possibility of having type 2 diabetes
and some cancer
• Have lower blood pressure
• Have strong bones, muscles, and joints and lower
the risk of developing osteoporosis
• Recover better from periods of hospitalization
• Feel better – energetic, good mood, relaxed and
sleep better.
