PE8PF-lc-27)

WEEK 5 DAY 1-4

What’s In 
Fitness is defined as a condition in which an individual has enough energy to
avoid fatigue and enjoy life. Look back and reflect on your day’s activities.  Do you have
lots of energy or do you get tired easily? 
Health-related components focus on factors that promote optimum health and prevent
the onset of disease and problems associated with an activity.

What’s New
Physical fitness has two categories: Health – related Fitness (HRF) and
Skill – related Fitness (SRF). HRF has four components whereas SRF has six.
Health-related fitness is the ability to become and stay physically healthy.  Skill-related
fitness enhances one’s performance in athletic or sports events.
6
  
Health-related Fitness Components:  Cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength
and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. 
The four components are described as follows: 
1. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart (cardio) and
circulatory system (vascular) to supply oxygen to muscles for an extended period of
time.  Cardiovascular is also called cardiorespiratory (lungs) fitness. Usually the 1 km run
or some other type of continuous fitness activity (12-minute run, cycling, step-test, etc.) is
used to assess cardiovascular fitness. 
2. Muscular strength and endurance is the muscle’s ability to produce effort or
perform work. Muscular strength refers to the maximum amount of force a muscle can
exert against an opposing force. Fitness testing usually consists of a one-time maximum
lift using weights (bench press, leg press, etc.).  Muscular endurance refers to the
ability of the muscle to work over an extended period of time without fatigue.
Performing push-ups and sit-ups or crunches for one minute is commonly used in
fitness testing of muscular endurance. 
3. Flexibility is the ability to move a body part through a full range of
motion (ROM) at a joint. The sit-and-reach is commonly used to determine flexibility. 
4. Body composition is the ratio of body fat to lean body mass (including water,
bones, muscles, and connective tissues). Having too 7 many fat tissues is a risk factor for
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. 
Skill-related Fitness Components: Agility, balance, power, speed,
coordination, and reaction time. 

What is It
Physical fitness test determines each student's abilities in regards to
the component of fitness. It is important to undertake fitness test for
comparative purposes in determining general fitness.  Compute for your Body Mass
Index using the guide below. 

Physical Fitness Test

Brief History of Volleyball

Volleyball originated from Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. It was invented by William

G. Morgan, the Physical Director of Auburn, Maine, YMCA in 1895. He was able to invent
this game when some businessmen found it hard to play basketball which was becoming
popular during that time. He needed to create a new game that would be less strenuous,
less “bumping” and “jolting”. So he came up with a game which is actually a combination of
four other sports. Wherein, he adapted the ball from basketball; the net from tennis; the use
of hands in volleying the ball from handball; and the concept of innings (now known as set)
from baseball. It was originally called Mintonette.
Dr. Alfred Halstead, a professor from Springfield College, suggested Volleyball to be
its name. And it was accepted.
Time line of Significant Volleyball Events:
1900 – A special ball was designed for the sports.
1910 – Introduced to Philippines
1916 – In the Philippines, the set and spike were introduced.
1917 – Scoring per set was changed from 21 to 15
1920 – Three hits per side was instituted
1922 – First YMCA National Championship
1947 – Federation Internationale De Volley Ball (FIVB) was founded
1964 – Introduced to Tokyo Olympic Games
1983 – The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) was formed

What is It
THE FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT
The Court – the dimension of the court is 18m x 9m.

2 Gender & Human Sexuality

What’s In

Are you familiar with these symbols? Where do you usually see these?

What’s New
Symbols
● Female- An individual that has the capacity to bear child.
23
 ● Male - An individual of the sex that is typically capable of producing small
(sperm) which fertilize the egg of a female.
● Gender Equality– permits man and woman equal enjoyment of human rights.
● Masculine- A qualities appropriate to or usually associated with a man.
● Feminine- A characteristics of or appropriate or unique to women.

Gender and sexuality are two issues that affect your life as a teenager. These two
concepts have some of the greatest impact on how you view yourself and deal with
other people especially with the opposite sex. Sexual feelings are normal and
healthy. As a teen, you will experience a heightened desire to explore your sexuality.
This is completely normal and healthy. Just keep in mind that sexuality
encompasses our whole being. Managing sexuality-related issues should be founded
on values particularly self-respect and respect for others.

Below are some of the health attitudes that can influence sexual behavior.
1. SELF

2. FAMILY

3. PEERS

Gender, sex and sexuality are all pretty complicated ideas – and definitely not
25
as black and white as some people might think. The most important thing to realize
is that you’re not defined by your sexuality or gender. You’re you, and that’s
awesome.
Gender role is often an outward expression of gender identity. It is manifested
within society by observable factors such as behavior and appearance. Your gender
role demonstrates the typical characteristics of a person in his or her behavior.

education, occupation and income of parents, the parents' own family background,
and parents' age at marriage and first birth; The number of parents in the family,
the number of children, the presence of other family members; Family experiences,
such as divorce or separation, and the interactions among family members,

What’s More

Gender expression typically reflects a person's gender identity (their internal

sense of their own gender), but this is not always the case.[1][2] Gender expression is
separate and independent both from sexual orientation and sex assigned at
birth.[3] A type of gender expression that is considered atypical for a person's
externally perceived gender may be described as gender non-conforming.
In men and boys, typical or masculine gender expression is often described
as manly, while atypical or feminine expression is known as effeminate. In girls and
young women, atypically masculine expression is called tomboyish. In lesbian and
queer women, masculine and feminine expressions are known as butch and
femme respectively.
While gender expression does not necessarily connect to sexuality, individuals often
are misinterpreted as more masculine if lesbian and more feminine if gay, regardless
of the individual's gender expression. These beliefs can lead to people
misinterpreting an individual's gender expression based on their sexuality.
