GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
• Physical Development
It is not only free from diseases but includes physical fitness as well,
• Emotional Development
The informal nature of physical education activities offers
opportunities for the development of a high level of self esteem and
ability to cope with routine stresses of daily living.
• Social Development
• It is the development and maintenance of a meaningful
interpersonal relationship.
• Mental Development
• Through participation in physical education activities, the individual
develops his mental capacities as he learns the principles, rules and
strategies of games and sports
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
• Did you know that “Physical education is the study, practice, and appreciation of
the art and science of human movement". While movement is both innate and
essential to an individual's growth and development, it is the role of physical
education to provide instructional activities that not only promote skill
development and proficiency, but also enhance an individual's overall health.
Physical education not only fulfills a unique role in education, but is also an
integral part of the schooling process.
• Walking, lifting weights, doing chores – it’s all good. Regardless of what you do,
regular exercise and physical activity is the path to health and well-being. Exercise
burns fat, builds muscle, lowers cholesterol, eases stress and anxiety, lets us sleep
restfully
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
• Physical activity can be defined as any movement of the body that
requires energy expenditure. This includes any motion you do through
the day excluding sitting still or lying down. For example, walking to
class, taking the stairs, and even cleaning your house can be
considered physical activity. Exercise is a type of physical activity but
not every physical activity is exercise. Exercise is a planned,
structured, and repetitive activity for the purpose of improving or
maintain physical fitness.
HEALTH & FITNESS
• Fitness involves activity of some sort that stimulates various systems
of the body and maintains a certain condition within the body.
• Health on the other hand, involves every system of the body and is
only achieved through a lifestyle that supports health
HEALTH & FITNESS
• Physical activity or exercise can improve your health and reduce the
risk of developing several diseases like type 2 diabetes, cancer and
cardiovascular disease. Physical activity and exercise can have
immediate and long-term health benefits. Most importantly, regular
activity can improve your quality of life.
Do you know the
difference between Fitness and
Health?
• Most people believe being healthy and being fit are one and the
same. In reality, they can be separate states of physical being. You can
be really fit, and not very healthy, and you can be very healthy and
not very fit. The best benefits are found with trying to get a balance
out of both sides, this requires us to identify the difference between
fitness and health.
Health has been defined by the World Health Organization as a state of
complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the
absence of disease or infirmity. It includes aging well, longevity, quality
of life, freedom from pain etc.
Do you know the
difference between Fitness and
Health?
• Fitness, on the other hand, is defined as a set of attributes that
people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform physical
activity. Fitness is made up of many components
Benefits of Physical Activity
• Reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, type II diabetes,
certain cancers, and other chronic health conditions
• Help with weight control
• Strengthens bones and muscles
• Improves mental health, mood, and energy level
• Better quality life

PHYSICAL FITNESS
Components Discussion
1. Flexibility Definition: The ability of the joints to move
through their full range of motion.
Frequency: 3-5 days a week
Intensity: 15-30 seconds
Time: Stretch for 15-30 Seconds
Type: Warm-up or cool down, & dynamic or static
stretches can be done. Stretching should feel
warm and fuzzy, and never cause one pain. Never
bounce when stretching, and stretch longer or
more often to improve. Good flexibility in the
joints can prevent injuries through all stages of
life.
2.Cardiorespiratory
Endurance Definition: The ability of your heart, blood
vessels, lungs, and blood to deliver oxygen
and nutrients to all of your body's cells while
you are being physically active.
Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type: depend
on the goals of the individual. To improve
your cardiorespiratory endurance, try
activities that keep your heart rate elevated
at a safe level for a sustained length of time
such as walking, swimming, or bicycling.
3. Muscular Definition: The amount of force that a muscle can apply in a
given contraction. The key to making your muscles stronger is
Strength
working them against resistance, whether that be from
weights or gravity. If you want to gain muscle strength, try
exercises such as lifting weights or resistance exercises. More
weight with less reps will promote muscular strength.
Frequency: 2-3 times a week
Intensity: For general strengthening, choose a weight you can
lift safely 812 times. Reps and sets should be determined
based on your goals.
Time: 30-60 minutes & make sure to give the muscle worked at
least a 24-48-hour rest period.
Type: Anaerobic activities such as weight lifting are good to
develop muscular strength and endurance.
More weight less reps to develop strength. Less weight and
more reps to develop endurance.
4. Muscular Definition: the ability of the muscles to keep working (contract)
over a period of time. When most people think of muscular
Endurance
endurance, they think of things like running and cycling. The fact
is, muscular endurance is important to almost any activity that
requires any use of physical strength and is one of the more
important aspects of physical fitness and performance.
Frequency: 2-3 times a week
Intensity: For general strengthening, choose a weight you can
lift safely 812 times. Reps and sets should be determined based
on your goals.
Time: 30-60 minutes & make sure to give the muscle worked at
least a 24-48 hour rest period.
Type: Anaerobic activities such as weight lifting are good to
develop muscular strength and endurance. More weight less
reps to develop strength. Less weight and more reps to
develop endurance.
5. Body
Composition Definition: is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone,
water, and muscle in human bodies. Two people of same sex
and body weight may look completely different from each
other because they have a different body composition. Body
composition is important to consider for health and
managing your weight. To improve your body composition all
the health-related components of fitness and good nutrition
are critical.
Keep in mind that nutrition impacts exercise, and exercise
impacts nutritional needs. Learn how to eat healthier
without eliminating all the important food groups, instead
learn to pick all natural and nutrient dense foods. The right
energy will help your body with maintenance functions,
improve your physical work, and help your body rebuild and
repair after a strenuous workout.
SKILL- RELATED
1. Agility
The ability to change and control the
direction and position of the body
while maintaining a constant, rapid
motion.
For example, changing directions in
playing soccer ball.
2. Balance
The ability to control or stabilize the
body when a person is standing still or
moving.
For example, in-line skating.
3. Power
The ability to move the body parts
swiftly while applying the maximum
force of the muscles. Power is a
combination of both speed and
muscular strength.
For example, a gymnast lifting his
body high into the air.
4. Reaction Time
The ability to reach or respond quickly
to what you hear, see, or feel.
For example, an athlete quickly
coming off the blocks early in a
swimming or track relay.
5. Coordination
The ability to use the senses together
with body parts during movement.
For example, dribbling a basketball.
Using hands and eyes together is
called hand-eye coordination.
6. Speed
The ability to move your body or
parts of your body swiftly. Many
sports rely on speed to gain
advantage over your opponents.
For example, a basketball player
making a fast break to perform a
layup, a tennis player moving
forward to get to a drop shot, a
football player out running the
defense to receive a pass.
BODY TYPES
▪Body type, or somatotype, refers to
the idea that there are three
generalized body compositions that
people are predetermined to have.
▪It was originally believed that a
person’s somatotype was
unchangeable, and that certain
physiological and psychological
characteristics were even
determined by whichever one a
person aligns to.
▪There are three somatotypes
endomorph, mesomorph, and
