muscular strength and endurance, and
flexibility programs based on the fitness
assessment.

INTRODUCTION TO P.E. 01
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION
BRIEF HISTORY:
• From the late 1700s to the mid-1800s,
three nations–Germany, Sweden, and
England–influenced the early
development of physical education in the
United States.

• The father of our more physical education

classes is Friedrich Jahn,
• Physical Education would start in just
about 1820 when schools focused on
gymnastics, hygiene training and care and
development of the human body.

• The Young Men's Christian Association

launched its very first chapter in 1851 and
focused on physical activities.
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION
• It is an integral part of the educational
program designed to promote through total
body movement, the optimum
development of the individual physically,
socially, emotionally, and mentally
 OBJECTIVES OF PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
• Physical Development
• Social Development
• Emotional Development
• Mental Development
 PHYSICAL FITNESS
• Physical Fitness is a general state of
health and well being and more
specifically, the ability to perform aspects
of sports, occupations and daily activities.

• Physical Fitness is generally achieved

through proper nutrition, moderate-
vigorous physical exercises, physical
activity, and sufficient rest.
• It is a way of life or the ability of an
individual to perform daily tasks with
alertness and vigor.

• Physically Fitness is also the ability of an

individual to perform one’s daily activities
efficiently without under fatigue, reduce
the risk of health problems and with extra
“reserve” in case of emergency.
 IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS
Through regular exercises, physical fitness
helps the individual:

• In the proper growth of young bones and

muscles;
• Improve the ability to avoid and recover
from illness and accidents;
• Improve posture and appearance by
strengthening muscles that support the
body;
• Minimize stress response
• Maintain proper body weight
• Prevent heart ailment
• Delay aging process
• Feel good and younger as human being,
and
• Experience joy of participation in any
recreational or sports activities.
 PHYSICAL FITNESS AND
TESTING
• Physical fitness is simply the body’s ability
to complete physical work. This can
include cardiovascular, muscular strength,
and muscular endurance.
• A physical fitness test may include a
repetition maximum of strength-based
exercises, like squats or bench presses, to
assess muscular strength.
• It may also involve performing exercises,
like bodyweight squats, until exhaustion,
which tests muscular endurance
• . Tests performed on a stationary bike can
evaluate anaerobic fitness. People may
also complete walking or step aerobics
tests, during which heart rate is assessed
to determine cardiovascular fitness.
• These types of tests can be quite helpful in
developing a complete understanding of
current health.
 What is the importance of
Physical Fitness Test
• Fitness testing is a great way to monitor
and assess students' ability as it relates to
aerobic fitness, strength, and flexibility.
• It can also help students understand how
healthy they are and learn to set goals to
improve their health-related fitness.
Components of Physical Fitness
1. Health – Related Components
– Cardio-Respiratory Endurance – The ability
of the heart and lungs to function efficiently
and effectively over a prolonged period of
time.
– Muscular Strength – The ability of muscle
group to contact against a resistance.
– Muscular Endurance – The ability to
continue selected muscle group movements
for a prolonged period of time.
– Flexibility – The functional capacity of a joint
to move through a normal range of motion.
The muscular system is also involved.
– Body Composition – One of the newer
attributes in physical fitness components. It
refers to the relative distribution of lean and
fat body tissues.
2. Skill – Related Components
– Balance – It involves vision, reflexes, and the
skeletal muscular system which provides the
maintenance of equilibrium.
– Coordination – It is the ability to integrate the
senses with muscles so as to produce
accurate, smooth, and harmonious body
movement.
– Agility – It is the capacity to change the
direction of the body quickly and effectively.
– Speed – It is the ability to move one’s body
from one point to another in shortest possible
time.
– Power – Power is sometimes confused with
strength. Speed contraction, likewise, is the
basic ingredient which, when combined with
strength, provides an explosive type of
movement.
– Reaction Time – The time required to
respond or initiate a movement as a result of
a given stimulus.

FITNESS TEST
Safety Guidelines :

• Warm Up 5-10 minutes before Physical

Fitness Test
• Students should not take heavy meals for
two hours before the test
• Students should wear physical education
attire for the test
• Before taking the test, students must count
their pulse (at rest). Their initial pulse rate
must not be more than 120 beats per
minute. The teacher teaches the students
to count pulse rate to monitor intensity of
activity
