Final Examination in P.E

1.Physical Education is "education through the physical". It aims to develop students’ physical
competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their ability to use these to perform in a wide
range of activities associated with the development of an active and healthy lifestyle. It also develops
students’ confidence and generic skills, especially those of collaboration, communication, creativity,
critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. These, together with the nurturing of positive values and
attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation for students’ lifelong and life-wide learning.

2.Discuss the function of Physical Education and sight examples on each function:

A.Biologic function

In biology, functions are attributed to the traits, behaviors, and parts of living things. A thing’s function
can refer to its purpose, a benefit it confers on an organism, or the causal role it contributes to a more
complex system capacity.Biologists attribute functions to a diversity of natural phenomena, from
chemical and cellular processes to the organs, traits, and behavior of organisms. It is common for them
to say, for example, that the koala’s pouch has the function of protecting its young, that the function of
the bee dance is to direct other bees to pollen, or that chlorophyll in plants functions to absorb light and
convert it into energy. Yet the term “function” is ambiguous, carrying important different meanings and
occupying distinct explanatory projects in the biological sciences. This entry will introduce two
characteristic features of biological functions.

B.Integrative Function

The term “integrative” as applied to the CNS denotes those functions that are not directly involved in
the processing of sensory inputs or in the activity of the motor and Autonomic centers. The main
mechanisms in this category are those underlying the sleeping/waking cycle, consciousness, language,
thinking (understanding, reason), memory (including learning), motivation (drives) and emotion
(feelings). The structures subserving these integrative functions are located chiefly (but not exclusively)
in two large parts of the telencephalon, the limbic system and the neocortex. The first of these is treated
in the chapter on Autonomic functions, where the neurophysiological bases of motivation and emotion
are also described (Section 16.6, Limbic System and Behavior, beginning on p. 362). Here we are
concerned with the neocortex and the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the other integrative
functions mentioned above.

C.Social function

Social Functioning means living up to the expectations that are made of an individual by that person's
own self, by the immediate social environment, and by society at large. These expectations, or functions,
include meeting one’s own basic needs and the needs of one's dependents and making positive
contributions to society. Human needs include physical aspects (food, shelter, safety, health care, and
protection), personal fulfillment (education, recreation, values, aesthetics, religion, and
accomplishment), emotional needs (a sense of belonging, mutual caring, and companionship), and an
adequate self-concept (self-confidence, self-esteem, and identity).

D.Environmental function

The environment is integral to encouraging physical activity.[1] The built environment is an aspect of
the environment that is increasingly receiving research attention.[2] Recommended levels of physical
activity can be achieved by including activities such as walking, cycling as part of everyday life. This can
be encouraged with a supportive built environment. Even though individual and social factors affect
physical activity, research has shown that a well-designed environment matters.

The built environment is defined as the part of the physical environment that is constructed or modified
by human activity. It includes homes, schools, workplaces, parks or recreation areas, green-ways,
business areas and transportation systems.In public health, a built environment refers to physical
environments that are designed with health and wellness as integral parts of communities and it has
features like open spaces, footpaths, cycle lanes, parks, trails.The emphasis on the role of built
environment is necessary as encouraging people to be more physically active in an environment that is
not supportive is less likely to be effective.

3.Discuss the FITT principle. Give your insights by sighting your own examples:

A.Frequency
Frequency, as it applies to exercise, refers to how many times a week you do cardio and strength
training workouts. It is one component of the basic F.I.T.T. principles that guide us in creating and
changing workout programs.

B.Intensity

Exercise intensity is one of the important components of your workout program. It's the "I" in the F.I.T.T.
(Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) Principle, a set of guidelines that can help you set up a workout
routine.

C.Time

The length of time you spend exercising is directly impacted by the other three components of the FITT
model. Cardio routines, for instance, are almost always longer than weight lifting routines. Similarly,
high-intensity workouts should be shorter than low-intensity workouts. And lastly, you can exercise
more frequently by doing shorter sessions, or vice versa.

D.Type

The type of physical activity you choose lies at the heart of the FITT principle. All other aspects of the
model revolve around it. Generally speaking, cardio and resistance training are the two most common
types of exercise.

The former includes running, swimming, bike riding, and hiking. Meanwhile, the latter includes weight
lifting, pull-ups, push-ups, and sit-ups. Depending on your desired goals and outcome, you can mix and
match the above, as needed.
