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 .

 H o w m u c h of phys ical activity
is recommended?
WHO g uidelines and recommendations
provide details for different ag e g roups and
specific population g roups on how much
physical activity is needed for g ood health.
W H O recommends:
In a 2 4 - h o u r day, infants (less than
1 year) should:
be physically active several times a day in a variety of
ways, particularly through interactive floor-based
play; more is better. For those not yet mobile, this
includes at least 30 minutes in prone position
(tummy time) spread throughout the day while
awake;
not be restrained for more than 1 hour at a time (e.g.,
prams/strollers, high chairs, or strapped on a
caregiver’s back);
In a 2 4 - h o u r day,
children 1 - 2 y e a r s of
age should:
spend at least 180 minutes in a variety of types
of physical activities at any intensity, including
moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical
activity, spread throughout the day; more is
better;
not be restrained for more than 1 hour at a time
(e.g., prams/ strollers, high chairs, or strapped
on a caregiver’s back) or sit for extended
periods of time.
 In a 2 4 - h o u r day, children 3 - 4
y e a r s of age should:
spend at least 180 minutes in a variety of types of physical activities
at any intensity, of which at least 60 minutes is moderate- to
vigorous- intensity physical activity, spread throughout the day;
more is better; not be restrained for more than 1 hour at a time
(e.g ., prams/ strollers) or sit for extended periods of time.
Sedentary screen time should be no more than 1 hour; less is better.
When sedentary, engaging in reading and storytelling with a caregiver
is); encourage; and
have 10-13h of good quality sleep, which may include a nap, with
regular sleep and wake-up times.
Children and
adolescents aged 5 - 1 7
ye a r sdo at least an averag e of 60 minutes per day of
should
moderate-to-vig orous intensity, mostly aerobic,
physical activity, across the week.
should incorporate vigorous-intensity aerobic activities, as well
as those that strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 days a
week. should limit the amount of time spent being sedentary,
particularly the amount of recreational screen time.
 A d u l t s aged 1 8 – 6 4
years
should do at least 150 – 30 0 minutes of moderate-
intensity aerobic physical activity;
or at least 75–150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic
physical activity; or an equivalent combination of moderate-
and vigorous-intensity activity throughout the week
should also do muscle-strengthening activities at moderate
or g reater intensity that involve all major muscle g roups
on 2 or more days a week, as these provide additional
health benefits.
 A d u l t s aged 6 5 y e a r s a n d
above
S ame as for adults; and
as part of their weekly physical activity, older adults
should do varied multicomponent physical activity
that emphasizes functional balance and strength
training at moderate or greater intensity, on 3 or
more days a week, to enhance functional capacity
and to prevent falls.
P r e g n a n t a n d p o s t p a r t u m women
All pregnant and postpartum
women without contraindication
should:

do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity

aerobic physical activity throug hout the week
incorporate a variety of aerobic and
muscle- streng thening activities
should limit the amount of time spent being
sedentary. Replacing sedentary time with physical
activity of any intensity (including light intensity)
provides health benefits.
 T h e Importance of
P h y s i c a l Activity O u t s i d e
of S c h o o l
Regular physical activity is important for children and
adolescents, regardless of weight. It helps to maintain
a healthy weig ht, reduces the risk of developing
chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and
diabetes, and improves mental health and mood. In
addition, physical activity can help to prevent
injuries.
H o w to M a k e T i m e f o r Physical
Activity in Your Busy
Schedule
M aking time for physical activity in your busy
schedule can be challenging, but finding ways to
fit it in is important. Try to schedule your
physical activity at the same time each day, so it
becomes a habit. If that’s not possible, try to
break up your physical activity into smaller
chunks throughout the day. Here are a few tips
to help you make time for physical activity:
1.C ommit yourself and stick to it.
2.Find an activity that you enjoy and stick with
it. 3.Find a friend or family member to do
physical activity with you.
4.Schedule your physical activity into your
daily
planner or calendar.
5.Put a reminder on your phone or computer to
be active
 Benefits of physical
Activity
Regular physical activity, such as walking, cycling, wheeling, doing sports
or active recreation, provides sig nificant benefits for health. S ome
physical activity is better than doing none. By becoming more active
throughout the day in relatively simple ways, people can easily achieve
the recommended activity levels.
Physical inactivity is one of the leading risk factors for
noncommunicable diseases mortality. People who are insufficiently
active have a 20% to 30% increased risk of death compared to people
who are sufficiently active.
 Regu la r physical
act ivit y can:
improve muscular and cardiorespiratory
fitness; improve bone and functional health;
reduce the risk of hypertension, coronary heart
disease, stroke, diabetes, various types of cancer
(including breast cancer and colon cancer), and
depression;
reduce the risk of falls as well as hip or vertebral
fractures; and
help maintain a healthy body weig ht.

 POW ER

Power refers to a person’s ability to

transfer energ y into force at a
rapid pace also known as explosive
body movement. Power is
considered to be a combination of
streng th and speed.
It has also been defined as the
ability to exert muscle force
 SPEED

Speed refers to a person’s ability to

move fast. S peed
combined with strength will provide
power and force.
This is a skill-related component of
physical fitness that relates to the
ability to perform a movement within
a short period of time
 A G IL IT Y

Ag ility is the ability to move

quickly and to easily chang e
direction.
Basketball players, for instance,
are incredibly ag ile. They have to
move in every direction,
jumping , sliding , twisting , and
backpedaling in quick response
 COORDINATION
S o many sports and activities
require well-honed hand-eye (or
foot-eye) coordination, including
badminton, g olf, soccer,
basketball, football, racquetball,
archery, softball, ultimate
Frisbee, and more.
A ll require you to be able to see
an external object and respond
precisely with your hands and/ or
feet to meet a pre-determined
 BALANCE
G ymnasts, yog is, skaters, and surfers
all need hig hly refined balance skills to
be able to participate in their sports.
But these aren't the only athletes who
benefit from balance training .

Balance itself refers to your ability to

adjust your body position to remain
uprig ht. It deals with proprioception, or
knowing where your body is in space,
and being able to make adjustments to
your position as your center of g ravity
chang es during movement.
 REACTION TIME

Reaction time refers to how

quickly you can respond to an
external stimulus. Think about a
tennis match for a moment: The
best competitors react almost
instantaneously when the ball
comes off their opponent's
racquet, sprinting toward the
location where they expect the ball
 W h y is s k i l l -

To performathletes?
well in most sports, there are
specific skills that make the difference
between performing well and truly excelling in
that activity. For instance, a gymnast may
need to fine-tune their balance and agility
skills, while a basketball player needs to focus
on speed and reaction time. When you can
focus on sport- specific skills, you improve
your ability to compete and excel in that
 Cardiovascular Endurance
C ardiovascular endurance (cardiorespiratory
endurance or aerobic fitness) refers to your
body's ability to efficiently and effectively
intake oxyg en and deliver it to your body's
tissues throug h the heart, lung s, arteries,
vessels, and veins.

By engaging in regular exercise that

challenges your heart and lung s, you
can:

M aintain or improve the efficient delivery and

uptake of oxyg en to your body's systems
Enhance cellular metabolism
 FLEXIBILITY
refers to the rang e of motion
around a g iven joint without
pain.
Like muscular streng th and
endurance, flexibility is joint-
specific. For instance, you may
have very flexible shoulders
but tight and inflexible
hamstrings or hips.
 MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

Muscular endurance is one of two factors that

contribute to overall muscular health
(muscular streng th is the other). Think of
muscular endurance as a particular muscle
g roup's ability to continuously contract
ag ainst a g iven resistance.

Long -distance cycling offers a clear example.

To pedal a bike over a long distance, often
up steep inclines, cyclists must develop
fatigue- resistant muscles in their leg s and
g lutes. These are evidence of a high level of
muscular endurance.
 M US C ULA R

STRENGHT
While muscular endurance refers to how fatigue-
resistant a particular muscle group is, muscular
strength refers to the amount of force a specific
muscle group can produce in one, all-out effort. In
strength training terms, it's your one-rep max.7

Like muscular endurance, muscular strength is muscle

group-specific. In other words, you may have strong
glutes but comparatively weak deltoids; or powerful
pectoral muscles but comparatively weak hamstring s.
 BODY COMPOSITION
Body composition, or your body's fat
mass ratio to fat-free mass, is the
final component of health-related
physical fitness. Because fat mass
can be associated with adverse
health outcomes, such as heart
disease and type 2 diabetes,
attaining and maintaining the rig ht
body composition for your unique
situation is the g oal of most exercise
