PE 1 – Lecture 1
Physical Education • It is an educational process that has an aim.
Objectives of Physical Education
• Seeks to educate the students about physical activity, various sports and recreational activities.
• Aims to promote long-term physical fitness of the general student population which is linked with excellent physical condition, development and function.
• Aims to focus on the improvement of the human performance and the enhancement of human development through physical activities.
� Physical Education includes the: � Acquisition and refinement of motor skills � Development and maintenance of fitness for
optimal health and well-being � Attainment of knowledge about physical
activities and exercise � Development of positive attitudes toward
physical activity � Development of knowledge and attitudes
conducive to lifelong learning and lifelong participation
Something to ponder on…
� Do you think being physically healthy is the same as being physically fit?
What is Physical Fitness? Being fit means you have the ability to meet the ordinary as well as the unusual demands of daily life safely and effectively without being overly-‐fatigued and still have energy left for leisure and recreational activities.
Importance and Benefits � Improves and strengthens the cardio-‐respiratory system
� Improves posture and physical appearance. � Prevents or delays the development of high blood pressure and even back pain.
� Helps people sleep better.
Importance and Benefits � Motivates a person toward a positive lifestyle changes (improving nutrition, quitting smoking, controlling drug and alcohol abuse).
� Enhances quality of life: People feel better and live a healthier and happier life.
� Extends longevity and slows down the aging process
Importance and Benefits A study made by the researchers at the Human Population Laboratory of California Dept. Of Health published a list of habits associated with health and longevity. � Regular exercise and weight control � Adequate sleep � Good breakfast and regular meals � Abstinence from smoking and drugs � Moderate (or abstinence from) use of alcohol
First things first 1. Physical Activity Readiness
Questionnaire (PAR-‐Q) 2. Pre-‐testing 3. Physical Activity 4. Post-‐testing
Why need PAR-‐Q Ensure the safety of the participants through 1. Identification of the individuals for whom
physical activity is not appropriate; and 2. Highlight the persons who need medical
assistance prior to the participation in any physical activity.
Physical Fitness Pre-‐tes?ng � Consists of a range of tests to evaluate the individual’s level of physical fitness.
� Can be used as a reference for the creation of an individualized physical fitness program.
� Divided into 2 Major parameters � Health-‐related � Skills-‐related
Health-‐related parameters
� Fitness programs that are prescribed to improve the overall health of the individual.
Health-‐related parameters
� Body Composition � Flexibility � Muscle Strength and Muscle Endurance � Cardio-‐Vascular Endurance
Skill-‐related parameters
� Fitness components important for success in skillful activities and athletic events.
Skill-‐related parameters � Agility � Balance � Coordination � Power � Reaction Time � Speed
Physical Ac?vity
� This incorporates the intervention for the students who undergone the physical fitness pre-‐testing. The physical activities will center on improving the components of the health-‐ and skills-‐related parameters so that the results of the students during the Physical Fitness Post-‐testing will have a significant difference.
Physical Activity ¨ It is referred to as any bodily movement produced by the skeletal muscles.
¨ Describes all forms of large muscle movements including sports, games, work, lifestyle activities and exercise for fitness.
¤ Walking or taking the stairs ¤ Gardening ¤ Dancing ¤ Doing any household chore
(Hoeger & Hoeger, 2004)
Why is Physical Activity important?
� It provides substantial benefits in health and well-being for the majority of people.
� Moderate physical activity can prevent
� premature death � unnecessary illness � disability
(Hoeger & Hoeger, 2004)
Exercise � Is a type of physical activity that requires “planned,
structured, and repetitive bodily movements to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness.” (Hoeger & Hoeger, 2004)
� Any physical activity done for the purpose of getting physically fit. (Corbin & Welk, 2004)
¤ Cycling ¤ Aerobics ¤ Swimming ¤ Strength training
How much is enough? � In the study of the American College of Sports and
Medicine (ACSM) and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found the latest evidence and reached the consensus on the recommendation that:
� Every American adult should accumulate 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical activity over the course of the most days of the week.
Calculating your Heart Rate � 220 – age = (MHR) Maximum Heart Rate
� 220- 20 = 200
� Training Range (65% to 85%) � MHR x 0.65 = low end of training range � MHR x 0.85 = high end of training range
� 200 x .65 = 130 � 200 x .85 = 170
Getting your Heart Rate
� Count your pulse for 6 seconds. Start counting from 0. � Multiply it by 10
� A person with an average cardiovascular fitness should expect a resting heart rate of 70 bpm for men 75 bpm for women
Physical Fitness Post-‐tes?ng
� The same range of tests done during the Physical Fitness Pre-‐testing.
� This will be administered during the latter part of the semester.
