Activity 2
1. Why is it important to teach physical education and health in the elementary?
● Health offers students the opportunity to learn about which foods to eat, how to take care of themselves, which relationships are healthy, and about what their body goes through as they grow older. Physical education offers students the opportunity to not only be physically active, but it helps students to build confidence, to learn different movement skills, and it helps them to work as a team.
2. Define the following and cite their similarities:
a. Agility ● Agility is the ability to rapidly change body direction, accelerate, or decelerate. It is influenced by balance, strength, coordination, and skill level b. Strength ● Strength is the ability of a muscle to exert force in single muscle contraction or it is the ability to overcome resistance. c. Flexibility ● Flexibility is the range of movement possible at a joint. It allows performers to reach, stretch and move their joints to gain possession, to make a motif look interesting or to achieve a more effective or efficient position. d. Endurance ● Endurance is the ability of an organism to exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as its ability to resist, withstand, recover from and have immunity to trauma, wounds or fatigue 3. What does the Philippine Constitution of 1987, Article XIV section 19 states? (5pts) ● The State shall promote physical education and encourage sports programs, league competitions, and amateur sports, including training for international competitions, to foster self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence for the development of a healthy and alert citizenry.All educational institutions shall undertake regular sports activities throughout the country in cooperation with athletic clubs and other sectors.

4. What is the relationship between physical education and health education?
(5pts) ● Both deal with habits of exercise, sleep, rest, and recreation. Since physical well-being is only one aspect of a person's overall health, physical education is often thought of as a part of health education. Health education is an activity aimed at the improvement of health- related knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.
