Physical Fitness

• the ability of the body to do day-

to-day activities without undue
fatigue, and still has time to do
leisure activities and meet
emergencies.
 PHYSICAL FITNESS
COMPONENTS

A. HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS
 BODY COMPOSITION
• Body composition is the proportion of fat and non-
fat mass in your body.
• A healthy body composition is one that includes a
lower percentage of body fat and a higher
percentage of non-fat mass, which includes
muscle, bones, and organs.
 Cardio-Vascular Endurance
• the ability of the heart, lungs and blood
vessels to deliver oxygen to your body
tissues without becoming overly tired.
 Flexibility
• the ability of the joints to move beyond their
normal range of motion.
Ex. When one can do split
 Muscular Strength
• refers to the amount of force
a muscle can produce with a
single maximal effort. 
Ex. When one exert an effort to
lift a pail of water.
 Muscular Endurance
• the ability of a muscle or group
of muscles to sustain repeated
contractions against a resistance
for long period of time.
Ex.  Performing multiple
repetitions of an exercise such as
running and swimming.
B. SKILL-RELATED
FITNESS
 SPEED
• the ability of the body to
move fast from one
point to another, in the
shortest possible time.

 AGILITY
•  theability to move in a
sudden change of direction
and body position quickly. 
Ex. Sudden change of
direction during a Patintero
game.
 BALANCE

• the ability to maintain

equilibrium even when
moving.
Ex. Crossing a narrow
pathway
COORDINATION
• The ability to use the senses and
body parts to perform tasks
smoothly, efficiently, and
accurately.
Ex. In Basketball, dribbling the ball
while running and looking for your
teammates .
Power

• the ability to exert a maximal

force in the shortest time
possible, as in accelerating,
jumping and throwing
implements. 
Ex. Throwing a heavy objects.
 REACTION TIME
• refers to
the speed at which
a person’s body
responds to an
external stimulus. 
 Body Mass Index (BMI)

• a value derived from the mass (weight) and

height of a person.
• The BMI is defined as the body mass divided
by the square of the body height, and is
universally expressed in units of kg/m2,
resulting from mass in kilograms and height in
meters.
 Body Mass Index (BMI)

Formula for computing BMI

weight (in kilograms)

height (in meters) ²

Example: 30 = 30__ = 20.83 (NORMAL)

(1.20) ² 1.44
 BMI CLASSIFICATION

signal “Go,” step up and down the step/ bench for 3 minutes
at a rate of 96 beats per minute. One step consists of 4 beats
– that is, up with the left/right foot (ct 1), up with the
right/left foot (ct. 2), down with the left/right foot (ct. 3),
down with the left/right foot (ct. 4) Observe proper breathing
(inhale with the nose, exhale through the mouth).
 3-Minute Step
3-Minute Test
Step Test
For the Performer:
• Immediately after the exercise, stand and relax. Locate
your pulse and in five (5) seconds start to get the heart rate.
• Don’t talk while taking the pulse beat.
• Count the pulse beat for ten (10) seconds and multiply it
by 6.
• Get the recovery heart rate after one (1) minute after the
end of the test.
 3-Minute Step
3-Minute Test
Step Test
For the Partner:
• As the student assumes the position in front of the step,
signal, “Ready” and “Go”, start the stopwatch for the 3-
minute step test.
• After the test, allow performer to locate his/her pulse in 5
seconds.
• Give the signal to count the pulse beat.
• Let the performer count his/her pulse beat for 10 seconds
and multiply it by 6.
• Scoring – record the 60-second heart rate after the activity.
 Basic Plank
• measure
s
strength/
stability
of the
core
muscles
 Basic Plank
Basic Plank
Equipment - exercise mats or any clean mat
For the Performer:
• Assume a push–up position. Rest body on forearms with palms
and fingers flat on the floor. Elbows are aligned with the
shoulders.
• Legs are straight with ankles, knees and thighs touching together.
• Support weight on forearms and toes; make sure that your back is
flat. Head, neck and spine are in a straight line.
• Keep abdominals engaged/contracted; do not let stomach drop or
allow hips to rise.
 Basic Plank
Basic Plank
For the Partner:
• Ensure the availability of mat/smooth flooring or anything that can protect
the forearms.
• Give the signal “Start/Go” and start/press the time piece.
• Make sure that the back of the head, neck, spine and ankles are in a straight
line.
• Give two (2) warnings.
• Stop the time when the performer can no longer hold the required position,
or, when the performer has held the position for at least 90 seconds.
Holding the plank position beyond 90 seconds is considered unnecessary.
 Scoring – record the time in the nearest seconds/minute.

 Push-up
• measures the
strength of the
upper
extremities.
 Push-up
Equipment - exercise mats or any clean mat
For the Performer:
• Lie down on the mat; face down in standard
push-up position: palms on the mat about
shoulder width, fingers pointing forward,
and legs straight, parallel, and slightly apart,
with the toes supporting the feet.
 Push-up
Push-up
• FOR BOYS:Straighten the arms, keeping the back
and knees straight, then lower the arms until there is
a 90-degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are
parallel to the floor).
• FOR GIRLS: With knees in contact with the floor,
straightens the arms, keeping the back straight, then
lowers the arms until there is a 90-degree angle at
the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor).
 Push-up
Push-up
• Perform as many repetitions as possible, maintaining a cadence of 20
push-ups per minute. (2 seconds going down and 1 second going up)
• Maximum of 50 push ups for Boys and 25 push ups for Girls.
For the Partner:
• As the performer assumes the position of push-up, start counting as the
performer lowers his/her body until he/she reaches 90-degree angle at
the elbow. The partner should stand in front of the student and his/her
eyes should be close to elbow level to accurately judge the 90 degrees
bend.
 Push-up
Push-up
• Make sure that the performer executes the push-ups
in the correct form.
• The test is terminated when the performer can no
longer execute the push-ups in the correct form, is
