Physical Fitness as Defined A person who is free from illnesses and can do physical or sports activities and still has an extra energy to do more activities is considered to be physically fit. Physical fitness is a combination of health fitness and body fitness. Health fitness refers to your body’s ability to fight off diseases. Body fitness, on the other hand, refers to the ability to do strenuous physical or sports activities without getting tired easily. It is not enough for someone to only look good and feel good in order to be called physically fit. An individual should consider the kind of lifestyle he/she has including the food he/she takes every day for these can lead him/her to better health. Health Related Fitness This is primarily associated with disease prevention and functional health. Participating in regular health-related fitness helps you control your weight, prevents diseases and illness, improves mood, boosts energy, and promotes better sleep. Health Related Fitness Components
Specific Components of Physical Fitness
Environmental Influences The influence of the environment on food habits derives from a composite of ecological and social factors. Foods that are commonly and easily grown within a specific region frequently become a part of the local cuisine. Political Influences Political factors also influence food availability and trends. Food laws and trade agreements affect food availability and prices within and across countries. Food labeling laws determine The consumers’ knowledge on the food they purchase. Eating habits are the results of both external and internal factors such as politics and values, respectively. These habits are formed, and may change, over a person's lifetime. Improving Your Eating Habits When it comes to eating, we have strong habits. Some are good (I always eat breakfast.), and some are not so good (I always clean my plate.). Although many of our eating habits were established during childhood, it does not mean it is too late to change them. Making sudden, radical changes to eating habits such as eating nothing but cabbage soup, can lead to short term weight loss. However, such radical changes are neither healthy nor a good idea and will not be successful in the long run. Permanently improving your eating habits requires a thoughtful approach in which you reflect, replace, and reinforce. REFLECT on all of your specific eating habits, both bad and good, and your common triggers for unhealthy eating. REPLACE your unhealthy eating habits with healthier ones. REINFORCE your new, healthier eating habits.
You are done now with the discussion portion. At this point, you will experience the physical fitness test designed by the Department of Education. Task 1: Health-Related Fitness Test Body Composition – is the body’s relative amount of fat to fat-free mass. Body Mass Index (BMI) Formula for Computing Body Mass Index Weight (in kilogram) Height (in meters)^2 Example: 30 = 30 = 20.83 (Normal) (1.20)^2 1. Classification Below 18.5 Underweight 18.5 – 24.9 Normal 25.0 – 29.9 Overweight 30.0 – Above Obese

Endurance may also refer to the ability of the muscles to do repeated work without fatigue. 3 - Minute Step Test Purpose: to measure cardiovascular endurance Equipment a. Step Height of step: 12 inches b. Stopwatch c. Drum, clapper, clicker, metronome with speaker or any similar device. Procedure: For the Tester a. Stand at least one foot away from the step or bench with trunk erect and eyes looking straight ahead. b. The first step of the sequence should be alternate. At the signal “GO”, step up and down the step/bench for 3 minutes at a rate of 96 beats per minute. One step consists or 4 beats – up with the left foot (ct.1), up with the right foot (ct. 2), down with the left foot (ct. 3), down with the right foot (ct. 4) for the first sequence. Then up with the right foot (ct. 1), up with the left foot (ct. 2), then down with the right foot (ct. 3), down with the left foot (ct. 4) for the second sequence. Observe proper breathing (inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth). c. Immediately after the exercise, stand and locate your pulse and in five (5) seconds, or at a signal, start to get the heart rate. d. Don’t talk while taking the pulse rate. e. Count the pulse beat for 10 seconds and multiply it by 6. For the Partner a. As the student assumes the position in front of the step, signals, “Ready” and “Go”, start the stopwatch for the 3-minute step test. b. After the test, allow the performer to locate his/her pulse in 5 seconds. c. Give the signal to count the pulse beat d. Let the performer count his/her pulse beat for 10 seconds and multiply it by 6. Scoring – record the 60-second heart rate after the activity.
Strength is the ability of the muscles to generate force against physical objects. Push Ups Purpose: to measure strength of the upper extremities Equipment a. Exercise mats or any clean mat Procedure For the Tester a. Lie down on the mat. Face down in standard push-up position: palms on the mat about shoulder width, fingers pointing forward, and legs straight, parallel, and slightly apart, with the toes supporting the feet. b. FOR BOYS: Straighten the arms, keeping the back and knees straight, then lower the arms until there is a 90 - degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor). FOR GIRLS: With knees in contact with the floor, straightens the arms, keeping the back straight, then lowers the arms until there is a 90- degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor). c. Perform as many repetitions as possible, maintaining a cadence of 20 push-ups per minute. (2 seconds going down and 1 sec going up). d. A maximum of 5 0 push-ups for boys and 25 push-ups for girls. For the Partner a. As the tester assumes the position of push-ups, start counting as the tester lower his/her body until he/she reaches 90-degree at the elbow. The partner should stand in front of the tester and his/her eyes should be close to elbow level to accurately judge the 90 degrees bend. b. Make sure that the performer executes the push-ups in the correct form. c. The test is terminated when the performer can no longer execute the push-ups in the correct form, is in pain, voluntarily stops, or cadence is broken. Scoring – record the number of push-ups made. Score Standard Interpretation 5 33 and above Excellent 4 25 - 32 Very Good 3 17 - 24 Good 2 9 - 16 Fair 1 1 - 8 Needs Improvement 0 Cannot Execute Poor
Power is the ability of the muscle to transfer energy and release maximum force at a fast rate. Standing Long Jump Purpose – to measure the explosive strength and power of the leg muscles. Equipment a. Tape measure/meter stick / any measuring device Procedure For the Tester a. Stand behind the take-off line with feet parallel to each other, the tips of the shoes should not go beyond the line. b. Bend knees and swing arms backward once, then swing arms forward as you jump landing on both feet. Try to jump as far as you can. c. Do not control the momentum of the jump (continuously move forward) d. Must land on both feet. e. Perform the test twice in succession. For the Partner a. Place zero (0) point of the tape measure and the take-off line. b. After the jump, spot the mark where the back of the heel or either feet of the tester has landed nearest to the take line. c. Record the distance of the two trials. Score Standard Interpretation 5 201 cm and above Excellent 4 151 cm – 200 cm Very Good 3 126 cm-150 cm Good 2 101 cm – 125 cm Fair 1 55 cm – 100 cm Needs Improvement Agility is the ability to move in different directions quickly using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, strength and endurance. Hexagon Agility Test Purpose: to measure the ability of the body to move in different directions quickly. Equipment a. Tape measure b. Stopwatch c. Chalk or masking tape Hexagon Size a. Length of each side is 18 inches b. Each angle is 120 degrees Procedure For the Tester a. Stand both feet together inside the hexagon facing the marked side. b. At the signal “GO”, using the ball of the feet, with arms bent in front, jump clockwise over the line, then back over the same line inside the hexagon. Continue the pattern with all the sides of the hexagon. c. Rest for one (1) minute.
d. Repeat the test counterclockwise. For the Partner a. Start the time at the signal go and stop once the performer reaches the side before the side where he/she started. b.
