Course Description

PROGRAM SPECIALIZATION OUTCOMES

This course reintroduces the fundamental movement patterns that consist of


non-locomotor and locomotor skills, which are integrated with core training to meet
the demands of functional fitness and physical activity performance. Emphasis will
be on exercise regression and progression for the enhancement of fitness and the
adaptation of movement competencies to independent physical activity pursuit. In
conjunction with fitness and wellness concepts, exercise and healthy eating
principles, periodic evaluation will be conducted of one’s level of fitness and physical
activity, as well as eating patterns to monitor one’s progress and achievement of
personal fitness and dietary goals.

Active and Healthy Living


1. Access, synthesize and evaluate information on:
 Healthy eating and fitness behaviours’ products and services;
 Risks associated with physical activity; fitness and physical activity
assessment results;

4|Page
 Activity patterns throughout the lifespan; and
 Personal, cultural and social factors that motivate or inhibit healthy
choices about physical activity and nutrition behaviours’ to enhance
one’s capacity to take responsibility for oneself.

2. Apply concepts such as fair, empathy, respect for others’ abilities and
diversity by understanding how these can influence their interaction with
others.
3. Participate in moderate to vigorous physical activities in accordance with
national and global recommendation for physical education

Advocacy and Promotion


1. Devise, apply and appraise a range of strategies to improve their own
physical activity performances and those of others.

2. Promote practical and creative interventions that will create community


connection and contribute to the health and well-being of the school and/or
larger community.

CLASS RULES
a. All students must wear the prescribed uniform or outfit for the activity. This is
to ensure comfortability and safety. Student will be reminded on the first
occasion even its online class or modular approach.
b. All students are advised to take 3-5 minutes of warming up and cool-down
after series of exercises.
c.
d. During the conduct of the PFR-Q, students must promptly declare or report
any underlying medical condition that was formally diagnosed by a doctor.
For those with contraindications, medical results of a graded exercise test,
duly certified by the physician or the relevant medical certificate must be
submitted on or before the second week of classes. The PE activities shall
then be modified accordingly.
e. Since students with additional needs (SWANs) and/or disabilities will be
recognized and the teaching-learning activities modified accordingly, there
are no exemptions in PE.

GOALS AND CONTEXT OF PE
This course is essentially distinct from the senior high school PE, although it remains
to be health optimizing, because there are separate global recommendations for age
groups 5-17 y/o and 18-64 (WHO, 2010) in terms of the frequency and duration of
moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPAs).

Most of all, the Tertiary PE Program is distinct in terms of the competencies desired
of learners with respect to their particular characteristics as young adults.

P.E. focuses explicitly on making learners adapt to lifelong physical activity. It


promotes an understanding of the centrality of movement in daily life, in all its form.
The Tertiary PE Program thus provides for a variety of expression and engagement
of physical activities and to ascertain that opportunities are inclusive of all contexts
and learners.

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
After studying this module, you are expected to:

 Assess the readiness to do physical activity


 Identify the Body Mass Index

Introduction
Physical Education is an Integral Part of Educational Process design to develop the
optimum aspects of an individual under a well-trained leader. It is an 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 associate with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. It also
develops students’ confidence and genetic skills, especially those of collaboration,
communication, creativity, critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. These together
with nurturing of positive values and attributes in PE, provide good foundation for
students’ life long and life- wide learning.

Terms

Body Composition- The percentage of your weight that is composed of fats in in


relation to that classified as fat free.
Lean Body weight- The Total amount of bodyweight that is not attribute to body fat.
Obese- an excessive accumulation of body fat
Overweight- When a person weight 10% or more than his/her desirable weight.
Body Mass Index- a method that is widely used to evaluate your weight. It is based
only on your height and weight, so it has the same limitations as the height/weight
tables.

The Importance of knowing your Body Mass Index (BMI)

Your BMI is a measurement that is a ratio of your weight and height. It’s a good way to
gauge whether your weight is in healthy proportion to your height. In fact, knowing
your BMI can help you - and your GP - determine any health risks you may face if it’s
outside of the healthy range.

 Being overweight can lead to a range of chronic conditions including :

 Type 2 Diabetes
 High blood pressure
 Heart or blood vessel problems
 Cardiovascular disease
 Musculoskeletal problems

 Being underweight can result in other health issues like:

 Risk of malnutrition

17 | P a g e
 Osteoporosis
 Anaemia

RECOMMENDED WARM UP EXERCISES SAMPLE

NOTE: Do WARM-UPS Before indulging to exercise, warm-up will prepare the body


for exercises by gradually increasing the heart rate and circulation; this will loosen the
joints and increase blood flow to the muscles. Stretching the muscles prepares them for
physical activity and prevent injuries.

Kinesiology - is the scientific study of human body movement.


Addresses physiological, anatomical, biomechanical, pathological, neuropsychological 
principles and mechanisms of movement.

The Three Planes of Motion

There are three planes of motion: sagittal, frontal, and transverse. It's easiest to think of
each plane as an imaginary line or a glass plate that divides the body into opposing
segments when standing in the anatomical position.

22 | P a g e
1. Sagittal plane: Divides the body into
right and left sides
2. Frontal plane: Divides the body into
front and back
3. Transverse plane: Divides the body
into top and bottom sections

Sagittal Plane

Movement that occurs in the sagittal plane generally happens in front of us or behind
us.

Example: Texting, walking, or typing on a computer involve movement that is primarily


in the sagittal plane.

Sagittal movements include:

 Flexion: A bending movement that decreases the angle at a joint


 Extension: An extending movement that increases the angle at a joint
 Hyperextension: Extending the angle at a joint beyond neutral
 Dorsiflexion: Bending at the ankle so the top of the foot moves toward the shin
 Plantarflexion: Pushing the foot down and away from the body

Typical exercise activities that take place in the sagittal plane include a biceps curl, a
forward or reverse lunge, a squat, vertical jumping, running, a downward dog,
or chair pose (in yoga). Many traditional strength training movements occur in the
sagittal plane.

Frontal Plane

The frontal plane divides the body into front (anterior) and back (posterior) sections.
Movements that occur in the frontal plane are lateral or side-to-side movements. These
include:

 Abduction: Moving (or moving a limb) laterally and away from the midline of the
body

23 | P a g e
 Adduction: Moving (or moving a limb) towards the midline of the body
 Elevation: Moving the scapula (shoulder blades) up
 Depression: Moving the shoulder blades down
 Eversion: Rolling the foot towards the inside (medial side)
 Inversion: Rolling the foot towards the outside (lateral side)

Exercises that occur in the frontal plane include side lunges, lateral shoulder raises, or a
side shuffle. Standing side bends and triangle pose are yoga poses that occur in the
frontal plane.

Transverse Plane

The transverse plane divides the body into upper (superior) and lower (inferior)
sections.

Movements that occur in the transverse plane generally involve rotation. For many of
us, movement in this plane is less common. In fact, exercise injuries most often occur
during transverse (rotational) movements. 1

Transverse plane movements include:

 Rotation: Moving the torso or a limb around its vertical axis


 Pronation: Rotating the forearm or foot to a palm-side or foot-side down position
 Supination: Rotating the forearm or foot to a palm-side or foot-side up position
 Horizontal abduction: Moving the upper arm away from the midline of the body
when it is elevated to 90 degrees
 Horizontal adduction: Moving the upper arm towards the midline of the body
when it is elevated to 90 degrees

Typical everyday activities in the frontal plane include turning your head to look behind
you or turning a doorknob. Exercises that occur in the transverse plane include hitting a
golfball, swinging a bat, or a seated twist.
