Introduction
Physical Education is an integral part of the total education of
every student throughout their educational and academic
journey. The varied and meaningful learning experiences in
physical education helps the students improve their mental
alertness, academic performance, readiness, and enthusiasm
for learning.

Objectives
After studying this module, you should be able to:
• identify the legal bases of physical education.
• explain the objectives and purpose of physical education.
LEGAL BASES OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Human body is made up by muscles, therefore intended for
muscular movement and as human beings we need to suit in an
environment where there is continuous a bodily movement. We all
know that we need to feed our mind and our soul, but basically we
need to supply our body, not only food but also with regular physical
activities. This is a concept of physical educators that is being
instilled to students, it support that belief of educators that
“Educators is not only the development of the mind but also of the
body” or sound mind and sound body.
According to the International Charter of Physical Education and
Sport UNESCO (United Nations Educations, Scientific and
Cultural Organization): The practice of physical education and
sports is a fundamental right for all.
 Every human body has a fundamental right to physical education
and sport, which are essential for the full development of his
personality. The freedom to develop physical, intellectual and
moral powers through physical education and sport must be
guaranteed both within the educational system and in other
aspects of social life.
This article substantiate the inclusion of physical education in
the school curriculum because physical education put ups the
foundation of practicing motor skills for games such as volleyball,
basketball, tennis and swimming, among others. Sport is integral
part in a person’s life. Different sports develop different skills and
develop positive thinking, which is important for a person to
endure difficulties. It is a constructive expenditure of energy and
that is why physical education is important to every individual.
According to Andin:
 Physical education is an integral part of the educational
program designed to promote the optimum development of an
individual physically, mentally, socially, emotionally and
spiritual through total body movement in the performance of
properly selected physical activities.
Article I, International Charter of Physical Education and
Sports, UNESCO Paris, 1978 and Recommendation
International Disciplinary Regional Meeting Experts on Physical
Education, UNESCO, Brisbane, 1982-
“The practice of physical education and sports is a
fundamental right of all...”
“And this right should not be treated a different in principle
from the right adequate food, shelter, medical care.”
 Article XIV, Section 19, 1987 Constitution of the
Republic of the Philippines
“The state shall promote physical education and
encourage sports programs league competitions and amateur
sports including training for international competition to
foster self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the
development of a healthy and alert citizenry.”
“All educational institutions shall undertake regular
sports activities throughout the country and in cooperation
with athletic clubs and other sectors.
 With all this, physical education is needed due to the
constantly changing lifestyle of people and the convenience
that technology provide, a lot of people
have become depended on it and that they have forgotten
what it was like to be physically active. Through physical
education, students may realize that they should be
physically active. Through physical education, students may
realize that they should be physically fit and enjoy many
forms of physical activity during the school years and
continuing throughout life.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL

Introduction
The main goal of physical education is to develop an
individual's optimum fitness. Having optimum fitness
makes an individual efficient. Thus, being efficient means
doing daily activities with the least effort possible. A fit
person can perform schoolwork, meet home
responsibilities, and still have enough energy to enjoy sport
and other leisure activities. A fit person can respond
effectively to normal life situations, such as raking leaves at
home, stocking shelves at a part-time job, and marching in
the band at school.
Objectives
After studying this module, you should be
able to:
• identify the concept of fitness

• list and describe the components of

physical fitness

• differentiate the categories of physical

fitness

• explain the benefits of physical fitness

CONCEPT OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
Being physically fit means having the strength
and endurance to carry-out every day activities
without undue stress and still have enough energy to
participate in leisure activities and be able to deal
with an unexpected emergency. When you are
physically fit, your heart, lungs, and muscles are
strong and your body is firm and flexible. Your body
weight and percent of body fat are also within a
desirable range.
COMPONENTS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
There are ten recognized general physical skills, and they
are all practiced regularly with Cross Fit. You are as fit as
your competency in each of these ten skills.
1. Cardiovascular / respiratory endurance – The ability
of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
2. Stamina – The ability of body systems to process,
deliver, store, and utilize energy.
3. Strength – The ability of a muscular unit, or
combination of muscular units, to apply force.
4. Flexibility – The ability to maximize the range of motion
at a given joint.
5. Power – The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of
muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.
6. Speed – The ability to minimize the time cycle of a
repeated movement.
7. Coordination – The ability to combine several distinct
movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
8. Agility – The ability to minimize transition time from one
movement pattern to another.
9. Balance – The ability to control the placement of the
body’s center of gravity in relation to its support base.
10. Accuracy – The ability to control movement in a given
direction or at a given intensity.
CATEGORIES OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
A. HEALTH-RELATED PHYSICAL FITNESS
Health-related physical fitness consists of components of
physical fitness that have a relationship with good health. The
components are commonly defined as:
1.CARDIO-RESPIRATORY 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. To
improve your cardio-respiratory 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. 
2.MUSCULAR STRENGTH
Definition: It is the amount of force that a muscle can apply in a
given contraction. The key to making your muscles stronger is
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.
3.MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
Definition: is the ability of the muscles to keep working
(contract) over a period of time. When most people think of
muscular 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.
4.FLEXIBILITY
Definition: The ability of the joints to move through their full range of
motion.
5.BODY COMPOSITION
Definition: refers to the ration of lean body tissue (muscle & bone) to body-
fat tissue. A person's total body weight (what you see on a scale) may not
change over time. But the bathroom scale does not assess how much is lean
mass (muscle, bone, tendons, and ligaments). 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.
B. SKILL RELATED COMPONENTS OF FITNESS
1.AGILITY
Is the ability to change the position of your body and to control the
movement of your whole body? Agility is an important quality in
many sports, because you must change direction rapidly and always
have your body under control.
2.BALANCE
Is the ability to keep an upright posture while either standing still or
moving? Good balance in essential in many activities like skating,
surfing, skiing, and gymnastics.
3.POWER
Is the ability to perform with strength at a rapid pace? Strength and
speed are both involved in power. Football players, swimmers, shot-
putters, discus throwers, and high jumpers are examples of athletes
who typically have a high degree of power.
4.REACTION TIME
Is the amount of time it takes to start a movement once your
senses signal the need to move? People with good reaction
time can usually start quickly in track and swimming or react
quickly in ping pong or karate.
5.COORDINATION
Is the integration of eye, hand, and foot movements? This
component is necessary for success in such sports as
baseball, softball, tennis, golf, and basketball.
6.SPEED
Is the ability to cover a distance in a short amount of time?
Speed is a very important factor in many sports and
activities. Short runs are used to evaluate speed.
The six skill-related components of fitness contribute to your
ability to successfully participate in sports and activities. Those
that have a high level of skill-related fitness are more likely to be
physically active than those who have lower level of skill. To
improve levels of fitness one must first know their level of fitness,
and set goals and work toward improving both their health and
skill related fitness components.

Quote: "If it is to be it us up to me.“

Essential Understanding: If you are going to bring about change

in the way you look and feel it is up to you. No one else can
choose the right foods or exercise it’s your body only!
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL FITNESS
1. Vitality- muscle is basic for all body action. They increase
in strength with activity and deteriorate from lack of it. Fit
muscles useless energy to perform the same task, leading to
increase in vitality.
2. Posture- a physically fit person is able to maintain his
general posture alignment better than one with weak
musculature
3. Relieves low back pain- lack of physical activity has
found to be the major cause for some cases of pain in the
lower back. Most adults who suffer from low back pain are
relieved of this pain by exercises that strengthen their back
and abdominal muscles.
4. Retards Ageing Process- continued participation in
regular exercise of the proper amounts is of considerable
value in postponing the deterioration that usually takes place
as a person grows old.

5. Physical Fitness and Ability to Meet Emergencies- the

body that is accustomed to only sedentary living can usually
operates affectivity even through it is operating at near
maximum effort.

6. Neuromuscular Skills- the smooth, efficient coordination

of the muscular system is improved as a result of regular
participation in physical activities.
7. Relaxation- over active minds, in under active bodies often
need physical outlets for accumulated emotional  and muscular
tensions that seem to be relieved by action of the skeletal
muscles/
8. Improvement of Personality and Social Skills- participation in
games a sports aid in improving the personality and in
developing the desirable social skills.
9. Mental Fitness- because of the mental and physical relaxation
that often results from physical activity, regular exercise was
taught in many to be considerable value in adding the mental
processes to function with increased efficiency.
10. General Health- the physically fit person usually possesses a
high degree of general resistance which enable him to
successfully avoid such minor illnesses.
