Activity: Describing relationships between the different fitness components and ones’ fitness

1. Divide the class into groups of ten. 2. Each group will come up with a creative representation of the relationship between the different components of physical

fitness to one’s health using their bodies. Explanation may be oral or written. 3. The outputs will be rated based on the following criteria: originality, clarity of the message, creativity, etc.4. As an assignment, instruct the students to gather information about the different physical fitness tests: mechanics,

equipment, facility requirement and the scoring procedures.

Teaching-Learning Sequence:

Sub-topic 2: Physical Fitness Tests

A. EXPLORE In this phase, learners are introduced to activities that will enhance/develop the pre-requisite skill in performing the tests, the different physical fitness tests, and how to analyze and use the results. Learners will also identify strengths and weaknesses and draw insights from the results of their testing experience.

Activity 1: Developing/Enhancing pre-requisite skills

Follow the Leader

1. Remind learners about the wearing of appropriate clothing including a comfortable pair of shoes in doing the physical activities and the tests.

2. Introduce the game called, “Follow the Leader”.

a. The class will work in pairs. Assign the leader and the follower. The leader will stay at the back of the follower while he/she is being blindfolded. The leader will tap the right or left shoulder/upper back/back of the head of the follower for him/her to execute the corresponding movement. Make sure that the leaders will keep their followers from bumping each other.

Tap the right shoulder …………. Turn right Tap the left shoulder ………… Turn left Tap upper back ………… Walk straight Tap the back of the head ………… Stop

3. After the game, gather the class to conduct assessment of the activity. Emphasize with the learners that this is an activity on following directions/instructions. In taking physical fitness tests, following instructions/procedures properly is necessary to ensure correct and valid result.

Activity 2. Knowing the test

Test Interpretation1. Divide the class into small groups (number of groups should correspond to the tests).2. Let the learners/groups decide what test they will be discussing. After arriving at a decision, distribute task cards containing

the importance of the test, testing protocols, procedures/mechanics, equipment and facility requirement.3. Each group will study and discuss the chosen test for presentation before the class. The presentation must include

10

Leader Follower

demonstration of the test.4. Facilitate the discussion of the test and ensure that procedures are followed strictly and properly.

B. FIRM UP

In this phase, learners are introduced to the tests and their purpose/importance, equipment, facility requirement, testing protocols and scoring of the tests to prepare them for the different tests.

Activity 1: Performing the physical fitness tests

1. Set up stations for the physical fitness tests. Each station should post with the testing procedures and scoring system. Make sure that the order of the tests will not affect the performance of the learners. If tests are to be administered for two days, consider dividing them according to their difficulty level and physical requirement.

2. Instruct learners to do their warm-up activities to prepare the muscles of the body for a more complicated activity. The exercise should focus on the muscles or part(s) of the body which will be used during the tests. Ask someone to lead the exercise.

3. The class may be divided into 4 to 5 groups. All learners must bring with them their fitness record cards to document the result. Each group shall be given a starting station. At a signal, all groups will be performing the tests simultaneously. The groups will move at once to the next station at a given period, provided that all members are done with the tests. Ensure that group leaders are monitoring the members if they are following the testing procedures and scoring system. Emphasize to the learners the value of honesty and accuracy in their recording.

Note: In the absence of a physical fitness test manual, the teacher may use any Physical Fitness book, or access the Internet, etc.

Activity 2: Checking for Understanding

1. Illustrate a physical fitness testing station showing the facilities and equipment of the different test. The results of this formative assessment are not used for grading but as basis for firming up understanding.

11

C. DEEPEN In this phase, learners are provided with activities that will require them to analyze and interpret test results, reflect on their performance on the tests and draw insights from the results.

Activity 1: Analyzing and interpreting test results

1. Tell learners to secure their score cards and accomplish them correctly using the scoring system.2. Post on the board two sheets of manila paper showing the following data:

Health-related fitnessFlexibility(Zipper Test)

3. Each learner will complete the form to indicate how he/she feels about his/her performance. Let learners decide how they will describe their feelings, whether in writing, or through music, acting, drawing, etc.

4. After the form has been accomplished by the class, ask them to reflect on the outcome of (or their performance on each

12

test) each test. 5. Let them identify three fitness areas that they need to maintain and three fitness areas that they need to work on or improve

further.

Activity 2: Drawing of insights

1. Introduce a creative activity (game, dance, song/rap, etc) that will require learners to draw their insights from their performance in the activity.

2. Prepare a non-traditional assessment strategy/method to assess insights presented.

Activity 3: Checking for Understanding

1. Interpret own performance result in physical fitness test through graphical representation. This is a summative assessment and the results of this can be used as a basis for grading.

D. TRANSFER In this phase, learners shall reflect on the fitness components that need improvement and identify the desired level that they have to achieve. Activity 1: Identifying the desired fitness level

My Target

1. Instruct learners to use the results of their performance on the tests in identifying the desired score for the three fitness components that they intend to improve.

Example: Tony Fitness Component Present Score Target Score

1. Cardio Vascular Endurance 190 pulse rate 120 pulse rate 2. Balance 2 mins 30 sec 5 minutes or even better 3. Power - -

13

Teaching-Learning Sequence:

Sub-topic 3: Physical ActivityA. EXPLORE In this phase, learners are introduced to the concept of physical activity using their experience.

Activity: Activating prior knowledge Group Dynamics

1. Let the class form one big circle. Assign one or two learners to publish the answers on the board. 2. At a signal, a learner will start telling the group a physical activity that he/she is fond of doing. Make sure that answers will

not be repeated. A learner who misses or fails to share an activity sits down or stays out of the circle or takes over the tasks of publishing answers on the board so that those assigned to do this can participate in the activity. This continues until learners run out of activities to share.

3. At the end of the activity, make a tally of those who do the activities. Example: watching television 20

malling 8 playing with the computer 11 going to the disco/party 5

4. Ask the following questions: Why do you do these activities? What do you like about them? What influences your choice of these activities? How often do you do each activity? What benefits do you derive from engaging in these activities? How long do you intend to engage in these activities?

B. FIRM UP In this phase, learners are introduced to what physical activity is and the Pyramid of Physical Activity to guide them in

identifying appropriate activities to be undertaken.

14

Activity: Understanding physical activity

Word Association

1. Provide learners with meta-strips. Tell them to write a word or phrase that can be associated with the term, “PHYSICAL ACTIVITY”.

2. Encourage learners to participate and post their meta-strips on the board.3. On a separate meta-strip, let each learner write a statement that will describe PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. These statements will

be shared with the class afterwards.4. Summarize all the statements by the class to form a definition.

My Own Pyramid

1. Ask each learner to draw on a bond paper a triangle divided in three parts. See illustration.

2. Give the following instructions:o For the bottom part, let the learner identify and write the physical activity/ies that he/she often does in a week.o For the middle part, let the learner identify and write the physical activity/ies that he/she seldom does in a week. o For the upper part, let the learner identify and write the physical activity/ies that he/she does once a week.

15

Pyramid of Physical Activity

3. After the activity, show the illustration of the Pyramid of Physical Activity or distribute to each learner a copy of the pyramid.

4. Ask them to compare their physical activities vis-a-vis the pyramid. Let them share their thoughts and realization with the class.

Activity 2: Goal Setting

1. Ask the class what they intend to do with their realizations? Connect these intentions to goals.

2. Have a lecturette on goal setting:

o What makes a good goal? (Characteristics of a good goal)o How to formulate clear fitness goal/s?

Activity 3: Checking for Understanding

1. Enumerate at least 5 intentions as regards one’s performance. The results of this formative assessment are not bases for grading but for firming up understanding.

C. DEEPEN In this phase, learners are provided with an activity that will facilitate the designing of a fitness plan in consideration of

the fitness goals and appropriateness of the activities to be undertaken.

16

Activity: Understanding the principles of a fitness plan Designing a Fitness Plan

1. Conduct a discussion on the following:

Explain to learners what a fitness plan is. Show samples of fitness plans Have learners explain the importance of a fitness plan. Explain the principles and mechanics in designing a fitness plan.

2. Divide the class into groups of 8-10.3. Create and present to the class an imaginary person with distinct physical characteristics and limitations (e.g., a middle aged

female teacher who is suffering from osteoporosis)4. Identify objectives or goal for the imaginary person.5. Ask the class to identify the physical activities to be undertaken by the person and in response to the following questions:

(F) Frequency How often will you do the activity? (I) Intensity How hard/intense will you perform the activity? (T) Time How long will you do the activity? (T) Type What type of activity will you perform?

6. Have the groups consolidate the responses and report to class the plan

Activity 2: Checking for Understanding

1. Set personal goals applying the principles of a plan and physical activity. Learners can be rated using the criteria, realistic and responsive. OR

2. Learners should be able to explain creatively these questions. a. Why is it important to be physically fit? b. How can one improve and sustain the desired level of physical fitness?

17

D. TRANSFER In this phase, learners will design a personal fitness plan to address fitness areas to be improved and to provide

basis for his/her lifetime activity.

Activity: Designing appropriate personal fitness plan

My Fitness Plan1. Given a time frame, let learners execute/implement their individual fitness plans.2. Gather insights from learners with regard to the implementation of their fitness plans.3. Reiterate to learners the need for continuous and regular participation in appropriate physical activities to attain the desired

level of fitness.4. Ask learners to further improve their individual fitness plans in order to fully develop all the components of physical fitness

and to provide basis for their lifetime activity.

Product Assessment

1. Introduce an activity to assess the product (i.e. the individual fitness plan) through peer and self assessment. Assess against the performance standard

2. Allow for learners to reflect on the plan, the process of doing it, and the value of doing and implementing it .

Note: Conduct the same test at the end of the school year and see how one improves in his/her performance or achieves the desired level of fitness.
