Physical Education Program

The aim of the Kindergarten to Grade 12 physical education program is to enable

individuals to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to lead an active,
healthy lifestyle. ... Education is a shared responsibility involving students, parents,
teachers, the school and the community.

1.1. Definition of Physical Education

Instruction in the development and care of the body ranging from simple calisthenic
exercises to a course of study providing training in hygiene, gymnastics, and the
performance and management of athletic games

1.2. Phases of Physical Education

The physical fitness training program is divided into three phases: preparatory,
conditioning, and maintenance. The starting phases for different units or individuals vary
depending on their age, fitness levels, and previous physical activity.

1.3. Objectives of Physical Education

The objective of “Physical Education” discipline (thematic learning modules: “Physical

Education”, “Applied Physical Education”) is to develop a comprehensive outlook of an
individual with a strong civic position, moral qualities, sense of responsibility, an
independent, initiative, tolerant person who is able to successfully socialize and to use
different forms of physical education and sports in daily life to protect his or her own
health and promote effective professional activities.

2. Self Testing Activity

Self-test activities allow students to assess their ability or level of understanding and
can be a powerful way to reinforce key concepts in a course.
 2.1.General Objectives of Self Testing Test

Objective tests provide excellent insight into how patients see themselves and how
they want others to see and treat them. Self-report tests allow the patient to directly
communicate their psychological difficulties to their caregivers

2.2. Specific Objective of Self Testing Test

Objective psychological tests, also called self-report tests, are designed to clarify and
quantify a patient's personality function and psychopathology. Objective tests use a
patient's response to a series of true/false or multiple-choice questions to broadly
assess psychological function.

2.3. Fitness

Physical fitness is a state of health and well-being and, more specifically, the ability to
perform aspects of sports, occupations and daily activities. Physical fitness is generally
achieved through proper nutrition, moderate-vigorous physical exercise, and sufficient
rest

2.4.Components of Physical Fitness

Components of Fitness. When planning a well-rounded exercise program, it is

important to understand the five components of physical fitness and how your training
affects them. The components include: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength,
muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

The 5 components that make up total fitness are:

 Cardiovascular Endurance.
 Muscular Strength.
 Muscular endurance.
 Flexibility.
 Body Composition.
2.5.Self Testing Test

Self test. Automatic test(s) performed by a device (such as a computer or printer) upon
itself when switched on, to detect any malfunction, a missing component, or a change in
its configuration. ... Also called auto test or self check.

HIV self-testing is a process whereby a person who wants to know his or her HIV status
collects a specimen, performs a test and interprets the test result in private. ... All
reactive (positive) self-test results must be confirmed by a health worker in accordance
with national testing algorithms.
3. Gymnastics
Gymnastics is a sport that includes exercises requiring balance, strength, flexibility,
agility, coordination, and endurance. The movements involved in gymnastics contribute
to the development of the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest, and abdominal muscle
groups.
3.1 Brief History of Gymnastics
Gymnastics is thought to have began in ancient Greece about 2500 years ago where
it was used in training to keep fit for sporting activities. In the Greek city of
Athens, gymnastic tournaments were held, including tumbling, rope climbing, and other
similar activities.
3.2Meaning of Gymnastics

Exercises developing or displaying physical agility and coordination. The modern sport
of gymnastics typically involves exercises on uneven bars, balance beam, floor, and
vaulting horse (for women), and horizontal and parallel bars, rings, floor, and pommel
horse (for men).
3.2.1.Background knowledge of Gymnastics
The term gymnastics, derived from a Greek word meaning “to exercise naked,”
applied in ancient Greece to all exercises practiced in the gymnasium, the place where
male athletes did indeed exercise unclothed. Many of these exercises came to be
included in the Olympic Games, until the abandonment of the Games in ad 393.
3.3.Term in Gymnastics
All-Around: The term used to describe the scores of all four events (Vault, Bars, Beam
and Floor) added together. In the case of the Olympics, not all gymnasts compete all
events. ... The women's events are Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor
Exercise.
3.4.Good Posture
Gymnastics Demands Good Posture – “Straight is Great.”
Coaches and judges look for a straight line running from the top of the head to the soles
of the feet. A gymnast must have a straight back and shoulders as well as be able to
move swiftly into each new position or posture.
3.4.1.Body movement
Educational gymnastics includes general categories of movement such as travel,
weight transfer, balance, jumping/flight/landing and rotation. These skills are developed
with emphasis on space, effort and relationships aspects.
3.4.2.Basic Position
The six basic body positions in gymnastics include the arch, pike, tuck, straddle, hollow
and lunge.
4. Conditioning Warm-up Program
A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity in physical activity (a
"pulse raiser"), joint mobility exercise, and stretching, followed by the activity. For
example, before running or playing an intensive sport, athletes might slowly jog
to warm their muscles and increase their heart rate.

5. Stunts
A stunt is an unusual and difficult physical feat or an act requiring a special skill,
performed for artistic purposes usually on television, theaters, or cinema. Stunts are a
feature of many action films.
5.1.Meaning of Stunts

A deficiency in zinc might result in stunted growth.A deficiency in zinc might result in

stunted growth.

5.2.Kinds of Stunts
Beam Stunts

A routine on the balance beam begins with a mount, which can incorporate a running
flip for more advanced gymnasts. When scoring the routine, judges look for at least two
flight elements, so you should include moves such as twists and flips, if possible. Keep
in mind that your jumps can reach 3 to 4 feet from the beam. You need to complete all
of your rotations during these stunts.

Floor Stunts

While beginners complete tricks such as the forward roll, more advanced gymnasts
attempt extremely difficulty tumbling routines during the floor exercise. These
maneuvers include handsprings, flips and twists, which you must do in combination with
one another and land on your feet. The handspring holds particular importance because
it helps you to gain speed as you move toward the more difficult elements of your
routine.
Vault Stunts

Beginners on the vault simply try to somersault from the apparatus and land on their
feet. You might then move to a handspring until you have mastered that stunt. Once you
become better at the vault, you can incorporate moves with multiple twists and flips,
which have a high degree of difficulty. You must keep your body in a straight position
while in the air and land your jump without taking steps forward or backward. Rule
changes have made it illegal for gymnasts to cartwheel into their vault, as that
maneuver provided an injury risk.

Bar Stunts

Men and women have different bar-based events, so the moves that each sex does can
vary. Women compete on the uneven bars, making it possible for them to transition
between the bars with release moves. Judges watch these transitions carefully, as they
involve gymnasts releasing one bar and catching themselves on another bar. The
horizontal bar, in which the men compete, allows competitors to swing around the bars
in a circular motion. This motion allows the men to build up enough speed to complete
larger release moves and, eventually, a dismount.
