COURSE INFORMATION
A. COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course reintroduces the fundamental movement patterns in a variety of physical
activities 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
embedded with values for the enhancement of fitness and the adaptation of movement
competencies to independent physical activity results. In conjunction with fitness concepts,
exercise and healthy eating principles, periodic evaluation of one’s level of fitness and physical
activity, as well as eating patterns will be conducted to monitor one’s progress and
achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.
B. PROGRAM OUTCOMES:
After completing this course, the student must be able to:
1. Demonstrate a thorough understanding on the foundation of physical fitness and the parts of
the human body in relation to fitness.
2. Improve Physical Fitness from the baseline using physical fitness components and exercise
principles.

MODULE 2
Engaging in physical activity is one of the most important steps people of all
ages can take to improve their health.
Children who are active are more likely to be at a healthy body weight, perform
better in school, and have higher self-esteem. They are also less likely to develop risk
factors for heart disease, including obesity.
Adults who exercise are better able to handle stress and avoid depression,
perform daily tasks without physical limitation, and maintain a healthy body weight;
they also lower their risk of developing a number of diseases.
Exercise continues to be important for older adults by ensuring quality of life and
independence; regular exercise boosts immunity, combats bone loss, improves
movement and balance, aids in psychological well-being, and lowers the risk of disease.
Physical activity refers to any movement of the body that involves effort and thus
requires energy above that needed at rest.
- Day-to-day tasks such as light gardening, household chores, and taking the stairs at
work are examples of baseline physical activity
- Including baseline activities in your daily routine is helpful, but people who do only
this type of activity are considered to be inactive.
Exercise is a more focused, or specific, form of health-enhancing physical
activity.

MODULE 2
Keep in mind that exercise is a type of physical activity and that the two terms
are often used interchangeably.
AEROBIC FITNESS
cardiorespiratory endurance is often referred to as aerobic capacity or aerobic
fitness.
the word aerobic means “with oxygen.” your body requires oxygen to perform
aerobic exercises.
examples of cardiorespiratory, or aerobic, exercises are walking, jogging, running,
cycling, swimming, dancing, hiking, and sports such as tennis and basketball.
MUSCULAR FITNESS
refers to how your muscles contract to allow you to lift, pull, push, and hold objects.
Muscular fitness includes both muscular strength and muscular endurance.
Examples are lifting weights, working with resistance bands, heavy gardening, such
as digging and shoveling, climbing stair, hill walking, cycling, dance, push-ups, sit-
ups and squats.
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
FLEXIBILITY
refers to the ability to move a joint through a full range of motion.
Loss of flexibility as a result of injury, disuse, or aging can limit your ability to carry
out daily activities.
Examples of flexibility exercises are yoga, stretching, and pilates.
BODY COMPOSITION
refers to the makeup of your body.
a method of breaking down the body into its core components: fat, protein,
minerals, and body water.
the focus of body composition is the relative amounts of muscle versus fat.
Excessive amounts of body fat are related to poor health outcomes, and this is
especially true for fat around the abdominal area.
Examples of body composition exercises are push-ups, burpees, squat jumps etc.
BENEFITS OF EXERCISE
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
The benefits of a regular exercise program extend into many areas of life.
Exercise is one intervention that is inexpensive and simple and can provide many life-
enhancing advantages.
Physiological Benefits
Physiology deals with how the body functions. To maintain optimal function, the
body must be exposed to positive stressors such as exercise. Regular physical activity
can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance. Exercise delivers oxygen
and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more
efficiently. And when your heart and lung health improve, you have more energy to
tackle daily chores.
Psychological Benefits
In addition to the well-established physical benefits of exercise are many
psychological, or mental health, benefits. Exercise appears to provide relief from
symptoms of depression and anxiety; in addition, it enhances self-esteem, provides
more restful sleep, and promotes faster recovery from psychosocial stressors.
Sociological Benefits
As the familiar song “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers suggests, “We all need
somebody to lean on.” Structural support (referring to social networks) in your life is
provided by friends and family as well as participation in church or civic organizations.
Social support is important for health and well-being. By involving your family members,
friends, and coworkers in your activity program, you can help each other make exercise
a regular habit. In doing so, you claim health and well-being benefits for yourself while
also helping those around you to do the same.
The fitness testing process includes three steps: a preparticipation screening and
risk assessment; the fitness assessment, or performance of the test itself; and an
interpretation of test results. Each step provides you with information about yourself
that can be used to develop a safe and effective exercise program.

include consultations with your health care provider to be sure that you are ready for
both fitness testing and physical activity.

MODULE 2
RISK ASSESSMENT
Whether you are using a self-guided questionnaire or consulting with your
health care provider, the goal of preparticipation screening is to verify your physical
readiness for exercise testing or future physical activity. In addition to determining
physical activity readiness, preparticipation screening also provides a risk stratification.
Although it may sound like an intimidating term, risk stratification is really nothing more
than a classification of your risk for diseases that could affect your ability to exercise.
Figure 2 shows an example of a risk factor scoring checklist.

MODULE 2
Wellness is largely determined by the decisions you make about how you live.
That same man can reduce his risk of cancer by eating sensibly, exercising, and having
regular screening tests. Even if he develops the disease, he may still rise above its
effects to live a rich, meaningful life. This means not only caring for himself physically,
but also maintaining a positive outlook, keeping up his relationships with others,
challenging himself intellectually, and nurturing other aspects of his life.

MODULE 2
Take other steps toward wellness other important behaviors contribute to wellness,
including these:
developing meaningful relationships
planning for successful aging
learning about the health care system
acting responsibly toward the environment
DIMENSIONS OF WELLNESS
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
Anxiety (21.8%)
Sleep difficulties (21.0%)
Cold/flu/sore throat (15.1%)
Depression (13.5%)
Excessive use of Internet/computer games (11.6%)
Assess yourself. How do your daily wellness choices compare to those of other
students? What is recommended to promote wellness? Remember: It’s never too late to
change. The sooner you trade an unhealthy behavior for a healthier one, the longer
you’ll be around to enjoy the benefits.
04 FITT PRINCIPLE
When it comes to cardio: As a general rule of thumb, aim for a minimum of three
cardio sessions per week. If you’re looking to lose weight, you might increase this
number to five to six sessions.
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
Also includes rest days: Also account for rest days when putting together your plan.
It’s important to give your muscles a chance to recover.
b. INTENSITY
This starts with determining your target heart rate zone for your fitness level
and age. The heart rate zone you’re meant to target is based on a percentage of your
maximum heart rate (MHR).
To find your target heart rate zone, use this calculation: MHR multiplied by
percentage rate in decimals.
So, this looks like: 195 x 0.50 = ~97 and 195 x 0.85 = ~165
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
According to the American Heart Association, the target heart rate zone for a 25-year-
old is approximately 95 to 162 beats per minute.
c. TIME
This refers to the duration of each exercise.
d. TYPE
This refers to what kind of exercise you’ll be doing under the umbrella of cardio
or strength training.
Cardio is any type of exercise that improves your cardiovascular system. This includes:
- running
- swimming
- walking
- dancing
- aerobics routines
- cycling
Strength training is any type of exercise that tones and strengthens the muscles. It
usually results in muscular hypertrophy. This includes:
EXAMPLES OF FITT

MODULE 2
Incorporating the FITT principle into your life can be simple. Here’s how you can use it
with cardio and strength training.
If your goal is to lose weight, your fit plan might look like this:
Intensity: This will depend on your current fitness level. For a high-intensity workout,
aim to reach 70 to 80 percent of your maximum heart rate.
Time: Aim for around 20 to 30 minutes per workout. You can increase the workout
length as your endurance builds.
Time: 30 minutes
Type: jog
Time: 45 to 60 minutes
05 HITT Principle
HIIT is any form of exercise that consists of a short burst of intense exercise
that precedes a period of rest or low intensity exercise. HITT stands for High Intensity
Interval Training.
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
The period of intense exercise can vary from less than 45 seconds to a few minutes.
People then rest or do gentle exercise for a similar time frame before repeating the
sequence.
An entire HIIT workout may be as short as 15–20 minutes, but it provides a wide range
of benefits. Its short duration can make it a very practical and effective choice for
people who find it difficult to commit to longer sessions.
HOW TO START
Although there are likely to be HIIT classes on offer at a local gym, no classes or
equipment are necessary for this type of training.
People can use their preferred form of exercise for the exercise intervals. They may
wish to cycle, sprint, or use a skipping rope. If a person is using exercise equipment,
they can increase the resistance for extra intensity and then reduce it again for the rest
period.
People can also do a variety of exercises using just their body weight, such as:
- pressups
- burpees
- jumping jacks
- squats
- sit-ups

MODULE 2
Locomotor movements: are those motor skills which the feet move the body from
one place to another.
Principle of Opposition: when a step is taken with the left foot, the right hand is moved.
Locomotor Movements
1. Walk
- To advance or travel on foot at a moderate speed or pace
- proceed by steps
- move by advancing the feet alternately so that there is always one foot on the
ground
2. RUN
- The goal quickly by moving the legs more rapidly than at a walk
- in such a manner that for an instant in each step all or both feet are off the
ground
3. LEAP
- Starts off on 1 foot and ends on the opposite
- a phase where neither foot is in contact with the ground
- a transfer of weight from 1 foot to another
- an exaggerated running steps
4. HOP
- Stand on one foot and half with the same foot
- the opposite foot is bent at knee and trailing behind the back
- a leap on one foot
5. JUMP
- Stand with two feet together
- spring clear off the ground
- end on two feet
This module is for CLSU use only. No part of this material may be reproduced.
MODULE 2
6. SKIP
- Step with left foot, then hop on left foot, then step on right foot and hop on
right foot
- alternate motion from the left side to the right and continue
7. GALLOP
- One foot is placed in front of the opposite foot
- the front foot takes a large step forward while the second foot stays in place
- the back foot takes a step forward but always stays behind the front foot
8. SLIDE
- Move to the left, the left shoulder leads (moved the right, the right shoulder
leads)
- the left foot reaches out to the left side and steps then the right foot takes a
step next to the left foot
Non-locomotor Movements:
1. BENDING OR FLEXING
- moving the muscles around a joint where two body parts meet.
2. STRETCHING OR EXTENDING
- done by straightening or extending any part of the body from the joints.
3. LIFTING OR RAISING
- elevating a part of the body, usually for the arms and legs.
4. TWISTING
- moving a part of the body around a long axis, usually for the head and body.

6. SWINGING
- a pendular movement below an axis.
7. SWAYING
- a pendular movement above an axis.
07 PRINCIPLES OF EXERCISE
The exercise principles outline the criteria that guide all training. Each principle
allows us to critique some element of a person’s training. When a person’s training
follows the principles well it is most likely to be successful.
Overload: For adaptation to occur the volume of You get improvements by doing a
exercise must overload the body in bit more
some way in line with the capacity of
the individual to cope with that
