Lesson

6 Optimizing One’s Health through

Physical Fitness Assessments

What I Need to Know

By being active, you will burn calories that you store from eating throughout the day
and—it can be as easy as walking the dog or as rigorous as running a marathon. Providing
opportunities for children to be active early on puts them on a path to better physical and
mental health. It's never too late to jumpstart a healthy lifestyle.
But before we dive in, let us see the picture in a greater perspective. Physical activity,
along with proper nutrition, is beneficial to people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. And
it is important that everyone gets active: over the last 20 years, there's been a significant
increase in obesity in Philippines. Filipino adolescents ranked almost at the bottom 146
countries when it comes to the level of physical activity, according to a study from journal
The Lancet Child and Adolescent Health found that 93.4% of school-going Filipinos aged 11
to 17 lack physical activities as of 2016.

obesity

The picture above describes how physical inactivity can have serious implications for
people’s health. Approximately 2 million deaths per year are attributed to physical inactivity,
prompting WHO to issue a warning that a sedentary lifestyle could very well be among the
10 leading causes of death and disability in the world. (Retrieved from
https://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases on April 4, 2018).

Sedentary lifestyles increase all causes of mortality, double the risk of cardiovascular
diseases, diabetes, and obesity, and increase the risks of colon cancer, high blood pressure,
osteoporosis, lipid disorders, depression and anxiety. According to WHO, 60 to 85% of
people in the world, including teenagers—from both developed and developing countries—
lead sedentary lifestyles, making it one of the more serious yet insufficiently addressed
public health problems of our time. It is estimated that nearly two-thirds of children are also
insufficiently active, with serious implications for their future health. 1

Among the preventive measures recommended by WHO is moderate physical fitness

activity for up to 30 minutes every day. In addition to individual lifestyle changes,
governments and policy makers are also recommended to "move for health" by creating a
supportive environment for people. Among the measures recommended is promoting
physical activity programmes in schools, communities and health services.

In order to address physical inactivity, there are various physical activities that will
optimize one’s health. However, there is also a need to assess these physical activities. Why
do we have to assess physical activities? It isn’t enough to just come up with a fitness activity
and do it all the time. It is important to know how effective the activity is. Outcomes of
physical activity interventions should be evaluated because this is the only way to determine
whether they are effective. This is the only way to know if your body is improving after
consistent physical activity. Moreover, assessing physical activities can help measure if the
activities are useful in achieving your health goals.

Table 1. Examples of various physical activities

Low Intensity Moderate Intensity Vigorous Intensity
doing household chores brisk walking running
taking the stairs instead of playground activities swimming
the elevator
playing at the park Bike riding working with
resistance bands
How about you, can you add more to the list?

The problem of physical inactivity, along with this substantial associated disease
risks, has been described as pandemic. The question
now is then, how physical activity among children and
adolescents can be increased feasibly, effectively, and
sustainably to improve one’s health both acutely, and
throughout life?
But before we discuss further on that, we will contextualize physicalactivity
assessment as it used in our daily lives and as a routine.
Activity 1. Different Kinds of Physical Activities Table 2. Activities Done Daily

Why do we have to assess physical activities? It isn’t enough to just come up with a

Outcomes of physical activity should be evaluated and assessed because it is the
only way to determine whether they are effective or not. This is the only way to know if your
body is improving after consistent physical activity. Moreover, assessing physical activities
can help assess if they are useful in achieving your health goals.

The following are some of the methods used to assess the physical activities.
Table 3. Methods Used to Assess Physical Activities in Terms of Intensity
Methods Description and Process
1. Talk Test
This determines the extent a person has
enough breath to be able to speak during
activity.
Low intensity level – should be able to
sing
Moderate Intensity level – should be able
to carry on a conversation
Vigorous Intensity level – too out of
breath to conduct a conversation.

2. Target Heart Rate This determines if an individual’s heart rate is

within the target zone during physical activity.
Note the following formula:

Max Heart Rate = 220 – age

During a Moderate Intensity level, an individual

should attain at 50-70% max HR, and for a
Vigorous Intensity level, they should have
7085% max HR.

3. Perceived Exertion (Borg Rating This refers to how hard you feel your body is
Scale) working on a scale from 6-20.

6 = “no exertion at all”

20 = “maximal
exertion”

3
4. Metabolic Equivalent (MET Level)
A MET is the unit used to measure the amount
of oxygen used by the body during physical
activity.
1 MET = energy (O2) used by the body as
you sit quietly.
Moderate Intensity Activity – 3 to 6 METS
Vigorous Intensity Activity – over 6 METS
Methods for Assessing Physical Activity

Subjective Methods

Subjective methods are simply physical activity assessment methods that depend on
the human perception of human activity. Such methods are predominantly used for
measurement in populations.

Examples:

Self-Report – this can be in the form of physical activity diaries and logs
Recall - this method is usually made up of short simple questionnaires of
5 – 15 item and set to investigate physical activity patterns

Objective Methods

Unlike the subjective methods, objective methods rely on solid data or observations.
These are predominantly used for measurement in individuals.

Examples:

Heart-rate Telemetry – Student wears device that provides data on the heart rate in
response to exercise.
Can be set to record and collect data.
Pedometry - Student wears device that records the number of steps
taken
and estimates the distance covered.
- 10,000 steps is considered equivalent to meeting National
Physical Activity Guidelines.
Accelerometry
- Student wears device to assess the acceleration of the body
in certain directions.
- Provides data on the frequency, duration and intensity of
activity.
Doubly Labelled Water – Technique used to estimate total energy expenditure
accurately, based on the movement of 2 different types of
water found in the body.
4
Direct Observation - Data collected that measures activity in regards to type,
time, place and social setting. This method is very useful for
children and adolescents.

Accurate estimates of physical activity are essential for advancing research on

the health benefits of physical activity; for understanding patterns and correlates that
influence physical activity behaviour; and for evaluating interventions designed to
promote physical activity, improve health, or reduce obesity. Indicators of physical
fitness (including body fatness) have generally shown stronger links with health
indicators than with physical activity. However, this is due in part to the less precise
methods available to assess physical activity. Physical activity directly improves
fitness (and body composition) and consensus suggests that it improves health
independently of both fitness and fatness.

Considerable attention has been given to improving physical activity

assessment methods but progress has been hampered by limitations in the way that
physical activity measures are used, scored, and interpreted. Many options are
available for assessing physical activity, so it is important to appreciate and consider
the relative advantages and disadvantages of the various measurement approaches.

Now that we have discussed the importance of optimizing one’s health

through participation in physical activity assessment, we will examine the different
concept that will be used in this subject. We will build your definition on the following
key concepts as a definitive source to “locate evidence” while this guide provides
frameworks to evaluate options and to inform decisions about the best ways to
assess physical activity.

A. Assessment – refers to the evaluation of health status that identifies

the specific needs of a person and how those needs will be addressed.

B. Physical Fitness - refers to the ability of your body systems to work

together efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living.
Being efficient means doing daily activities with the least effort possible.

C. Intensity - refers to how hard your body is working during physical

activity. Your health and fitness goals, as well as your current level of fitness, will
determine your ideal exercise intensity. Typically, exercise intensity is described as
low, moderate, or vigorous.

5
D. Sedentary Behaviour – refers to any waking behaviour characterized
by an energy expenditure ≤1.5 metabolic equivalents (METs), while in a sitting,
reclining or lying posture. In general this means that any time a person is sitting or
lying down, they are engaging in sedentary behaviour. Common sedentary
behaviours include TV viewing, video game playing, computer use (collective termed
“screen time”), driving automobiles, and reading.

E. Physical Activity – refers to any bodily movement resulting in energy

expenditure (EE), direct observation of the individual's movement should be used as
the gold standard for physical activity research.

F. Physical Fitness Plan – This is the written schedule of all the physical
activities you will take part in. Before you begin your physical activities, you will
submit your Plan to your PE and Health teacher, who will review it for considerations.
If your teacher has concerns about any of the activities, your teacher will contact you
or your parents to discuss them. The Plan maybe revised in further assignments.
You will then take part in physical activities and record them in your Physical Activity
Logs, accumulating at least 80 hours of physical activity participation time. This
averages to at least one hour per day, five days per week.
G. Physical Activity Logs – This is where you record the time spent
doing the activities. You will use the information from your logs to set personal goals
related to the type, frequency, intensity and duration (time) of your physical activity.
By keeping track of the data, you will be able to observe your own progress and
achievement.

Activity 2 : Case Analysis

With the concept given above, let us now test your comprehension. Answer
the activity that follows.
Given below are situations that depict the different methods in assessing
physical fitness activities. Answer the given activity. The first one is done for you.

Table 4. Case Analysis on methods used to Assess Physical Fitness Activities.

Situation Methods
1. Janelle, a Grade 12 Senior High Talk Test- Low Intensity Level
student is capable of doing bike
riding while singing at the same
time.

6
2. Shine sees the need to record
and collect heart rate data before
and after conducting a certain
activity.

3. In order to convey his stand on the

usage of applied data, Mr. Seriña
asks his class to measure all
activities performed with regards
to type, time, place and social
setting.
 4. Hiro would like to know how to
understand exercise intensity, so
he applies the process of
subtracting his age from 220.

5. After doing a 200 meter sprint in

butterfly stroke in swimming,
Jarred experienced a
heartpounding pace.

6. As part of various groups who

optimizes one’s health, Farrah
keeps a diary where she logs all
her physical activities for future
references.

From the example given above, it can be understood that Physical Education
assessment must be flexible, with student-centered rubrics based on each student's
starting point. In addition to this, physical education assessment standards are more
holistic. It attempts to ensure students cannot just do a push-up or perform cheer
dance, but can do it correctly and understand how and why they should be doing it.
We will integrate the value of being literate and committed to the physical activity you
are going to indulge with.

Activity 3: Initiative, Responsibility and Leadership in Fitness Activities

Leadership is the willingness of a person to motivate a group of people on acting
towards a specific goal. One can show initiative by taking his/her own role and
responsibilities, as well as the leader taking the responsibility to take the lead.
The job of being a Fitness Leader has changed greatly over the past few
decades, and looks certain to continue changing. Exercise classes are no longer
simply the preserve of amateur classes in community centres or halls, and the fitness
industry has seen significant growth in more affluent countries. With the focus of
governments on the promotion of good health and nutrition, membership of such
clubs and interest in the industry can only continue to increase. For people looking to
build careers in the fitness industry this means opportunities for roles such as gym
managers, life coaches, personal trainers, and fitness leaders.
Do your own personal assessment inventory. With reference from Table 5,
create your own Individualized Fitness Program based on FITT Principle.

Activity 4: Synthesizing Your Learning

Answer the following questions based on your learning. Be brief and concise.
 1. From your own point of view, write down five (5) characteristics of a person
who displays, initiative, responsibility and leadership in fitness activities.

3. In your physical activity log, which intensity level did you spend most of your
time? What do you think is the implication of the result of your physical activity
log towards your health?

Activity 5: Physical Activity in Physical Education

Developing positive physical activity habits is like any other behaviour – we

learn by observing. Making physical activity with your family can be a good avenue in
building trust and a sense of closeness. However, with the pandemic that we are
facing right now, there is a greater like hood that increased prevalence of physical
inactivity will happen.

10
As a responsible Senior High student, you are challenged to make a Physical
Activity Program tailor fit to the exercise and fitness needs of you and your family
members. The table provided below is a sample; you may enhance as to how you
like it. Have fun making and helping your family members stay fit and healthy in this
time of pandemic! Be creative.

7 Fitness Career Opportunities

In lesson 6, we have learned about the importance of having and keeping

a good physical activity that will optimize one’s health. In addition to, we were
able to integrate the importance of keeping a healthy attitude while initiating
responsibility and leadership in fitness activities. The know-how in recognizing
one’s potential for health and dance related career opportunities will be
discussed in-depth in this lesson.

 There is an old saying that goes, “if you’re trying to choose a career, one
should think about what you would do if you didn’t have to work”. If you had a million
dollars and you could do anything, what would you do? Your answer to that question,
while maybe not literally the best choice career for you, may give you insight into
what you should do.
Activity 1: Situational Analysis
If you are given the opportunity to be the Secretary of the Department of
Education, enumerate your five (5) point agenda related to fitness career
opportunities and health benefits for the students, teachers and parents.

1) ______________________________________________________________
2) ______________________________________________________________
3) ______________________________________________________________
4) ______________________________________________________________
5) ______________________________________________________________

The answers you have generated is actually a result of your trying to go through the
process towards becoming a person who reflects o your thoughts before making a decision.
Hence the career decision-making skill is a very important step one must consider. It is a set
of individual assessment needed to identify, evaluate and use in the most ethical, efficient
and effective way across all domains, occupations and professions.

Below are fitness career opportunities in physical education and sports.

A job in the fitness industry doesn't just provide you with a wide variety of
exciting career options. It also comes with a whole heap of personal perks, allowing
you to achieve a happy work life balance. Personal trainers and fitness Instructors
can often structure the hours and days they want to work. Clients often like to train
before and after work which may leave you time to go to the beach during the day,
look after the kids, plan you sessions, or catch up on paperwork. You're going to be
making a positive impact on the lives of others while watching people reach their
fitness goals can be very satisfying, especially when you are part of their journey.

You're going to be able to focus more on your own training if you're living and
breathing a fitness job. That means you could very well fit in exercising when you
want, especially if you're a personal trainer with free time between client sessions.
Taking group exercise classes is also a great way to train while you work.

Finally, wouldn’t it feel great to be surrounded by like-minded people who are

passionate about fitness? You can gain inspiration and learn new exercise
philosophies from co-workers to constantly better yourself and work practices.

Activity 2. Fit and Fab Scenario

In reality, skinny doesn't automatically equal healthy, and fat doesn't

automatically equal unhealthy. Some research even suggests that overweight
women who exercise are healthier than skinny women who don't. It is possible to be
fat and fit. One cannot deduce health based on what we can see. Nowadays, it is so
easy to “retouched” images with a sense of perfection. The idea of promoting health
and fitness instead of skin and bones has long been forgotten. There is a great need
of reliable information that focuses on being healthy and not falsely perfect.
As a responsible and well-informed Senior High School student who values
the importance of fitness, how are you going to promote a “FITNESS Advocacy” to
your family and community? The procedure below outlines the task that you will have
to take in order to come up with a relevant fitness advocacy program geared towards
helping your family member achieve fitness, which are a relative and a viral issue at
hand. Fitness is a gift and finding the right fitness tribe can help you create healthy
habits that last a lifetime.

1. Goals . What is the fitness advocacy all about? What is it that you want to
achieve?
What do you want the people to feel after the event?
2. Plan a Theme. Build a Team. A successful group effort requires a motivated
team
leader whose members agree upon on clearly defined tasks, set
reachable goals, budget and act with inspiration and purpose.
3. Set Goals. Identify the number of people who will help you, items needed,
and folks pledging to pass along what they have learned to others. 4. Document.
Whether in photos or video and be sure to have participants information form.
5. Reflect. Build moments and reflections. Do processing so the participants will be
able to understand and live by the essence of the advocacy program.
