- The study of various nutrients, their functions, food sources and

their effects in human well being is called NUTRITION.

- Nutrition science is the area of knowledge regarding the role of
food in maintenance of health.
- Nutrition Education is a systematically planned set of activities.
- is an essential component to improve the nutritional status of a
population and is crucial for the well being of people in general.
 - Influence public policies and promote access to a variety of
nutritious food.
- To develop personal skills and motivation to adopt healthy eating
practices.
-To develop nutrition advisory services and nutrition education of
the public.
- To participate in coordinated community nutrition programme.
-To improve nutritional status/ level in the community.
Major functions of nutrition education activities
1. Increase awareness
2. Enhancing peoples motivation
3. Facilitating the ability to take action
4. Improving environmental supports
Nutrition Educators can also use a growth centered educational
approach.
Nutrition educators can also work in coalitions with:
• Other professionals
• Organizational and
• Governmental Agencies

BENEFITS OF NUTRITION
EDUCATION
• Previous studies have shown that nutrition
education in the classroom provides numerous
benefits to children’s health outcomes and
academic performance:

• Nutrition education should become an integral part

of a normal school day for elementary aged kids
and should entail discussion, education, and
activities that promote increased knowledge of
nutrition and expanded healthy options at home
and at school.
 Benefits of Nutrition Education

• Students: Improved physical health and

academic achievement
• Parents: Kids more interested in healthy foods at
home
• School: Improved standardized test scores
• School Board/Local Government: Increased
funding to local schools
 BENEFITS AT HOME
By encouraging children to engage in healthy
behaviors, the stage is being set for them to have
better health outcomes later in life. The benefits of
nutrition education in the classroom also carry over
into students’ homes.
• Parents of students who participated in a nutrition
cooking intervention noted an expansion in family
conversations about healthy food and an increase
in how often their children helped prepare dinner.
• As a consequence of nutrition education, there
was a increase in the importance parents placed
on sharing a family meal together at home

• Furthermore, previous studies exhibited an

association between lower math and reading
scores with high levels of fast food consumption
amongst fifth graders
 IMPROVED ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE
In addition to enhancing students’ physical health outcomes and
interest in healthy foods at home, proper nutrition may improve
students’ academic performance in the classroom.
● One study examined the academic performance of children in the
5th and 6th grade, and researchers discovered students who had
healthier habits were significantly more likely to meet academic test
score targets.
With improved test scores, schools can obtain more funding from
the state government, which can be used to supply and maintain
classroom equipment needed to educate the next generation of
students.
 CLASSROOM ACTIVITY
(Individual Activity)
Instruction:
a. In a one whole short bond paper, draw your own concept of
“Nutrition Education” based on the discussion given. (what is nutrition
education for you). You may/may not use coloring materials.

b. Explain briefly your work. Write it on the space of your bond paper
Types of Muscle Contractions/ Exercise

1. Isotonic contractions- same as “ tone or tension “, the muscle shortens

and movement occurs. Examples are bending the knee, rotating the arms,
and smiling.
2. Isometric contractions – are contractions in which muscles do not shorten.
They are trying to slide, but the muscle is pitted against an immovable
resistance. When you push against the wall with bent elbows, the wall
doesn’t move, and the tricep muscles, which cannot shorten to straighten
the elbows, then it is contracting isometrically.
3. Isokinetic contractions- are similar to isotonic contractions but the
muscles are exposed to fixed machine with variable degrees of resistance.
Principles of exercise
1. Principle of Overload- exercise must be observed in accordance to
the intensity, duration and frequency of the specific activity.

2. Principle of Progression- this must be in the context of the

performer’s tolerance whether to increase or maintain the overload.

3. Principle of Specificity- exercise must be in its specific concern. It

could be either be for strength, flexibility or endurance.
Three types of stretches
1. Static stretching- holding a position for a short period of time. This
is the safest form of stretching.

2. Ballistic stretching- bouncing in and out of a stretched position. The

most dangerous type of stretching because of the possibility of
injury.

3. PNF ( Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation )- Another person

who pushes and pulls n the limb or the body.
MOVEMENT
 Movement – any change in the position of
the body in space.

- movement occurs when muscles

contract across joints. The type of body
movement depends on the mobility of the
joint and on where muscle is located in
relation to joint.
Types of Body Movements
1. Flexion- bending ( movement that reduces the angle between the
bones, as in bending the elbow ).
2. Extension- Straightening or stretching (movement that increases the
angle between bones, as in straightening the elbow ).
3. Abduction- Moving the body part from the center or midline ( open
the fingers ).
4. Adduction – Bringing the body part back to the center ( closing of
fingers.
5. Rotation- movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis ( turn )

6. Circumduction – a complete circular motion of a body part ( arm

circling )

7. Pronation – turning the body part downward

8. Supination- turning the body part upward

9. Inversion- Turning the body part inward.

10. Eversion- turning the body part outward.
Two types of body movements

1. Axial movement- these are movements done by

part or several parts of the body in a stationary place.

2. Locomotor movements- these are movement

which brings the position of the body from one place
to another.
Examples of axial movement
1. bend/ flex- to move the body or part of the body around a wide
axis.
2. lift/ raise- to elevate part/ parts of the body or the whole body
into a desired level.

3. stretch, extend, straighten- to lengthen part of the body.

4. twist – to move the body around a long axis

5. circle- to move the body around a point.

6. Swing – to move continuously from point to another.

7. turn/ rotate – to change direction to move around an axis.

Examples of locomotor
movements
1. Walk – a series of steps in all direction
2. Run- a walk with a longer strides and there is a push –off by the foot
to suspend the body momentarily in the air.
3. Hop- a spring on one foot and landing on the same foot.
4. Skip- a step and a hop combination on a fast tempo
5. Leap- a spring on one foot and landing on the other foot.
6. Jump- a spring on both feet and land on one or both feet.
7. Gallop- a combined step and a cut
8. Slide- to glide the foot right and left along a smooth surface
 Direction of movements
1. Forward 5. Diagonal/ oblique
2. Sideward 6. Clockwise
3. Upward 7. Counter clockwise
4. Downward 8. backward

Preparatory Movements:
5. Spring- To push off the leg or legs in the air.
6. Place – to touch the floor with the toe knees extended
7. Step- To put weight of the body on one foot.
8. Cut- to displace quickly the weight of the body.
Identification.
1. A full contact of the foot on the floor by gliding in any direction.
2. The direction of the whole body moving on a circular movement of other body
parts following the direction of the hands of the clock.
3. The source of all the movement of the head.
4. A movement which transfers the position of your body from one place to another.
