 TARGET

Health –related fitness is all about psychology, personal health and

how physical activity influences us as a person. This is important for anyone
who wants to live a physically active lifestyle to support a higher quality of
life.
In your previous lessons you become aware that being physically fit
can help you get through with stresses and demands of life and this
improves your self-esteem, develops your confidence and self-concept, which
can only be realized when, are much older.
This module is designed for you as a Grade 12 student, to explore
knowledge and skills that will help you develop a lifelong habit of physical
fitness and wellness.
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. self-assess health-related fitness (HRF) status, barriers to physical
activity assessment participation and one’s diet (PEH12FH-IIg-i-6)

Before going on, proceed to the next page and accomplish the
pre-test.

A. Components of Health-Related Fitness

Fitness is as a condition in which an individual has enough energy to
avoid fatigue and enjoy life. Try to look back and reflect on your day’s
activity. Do you have lots of energy, or do you get tired easily?

Physical fitness Components:

a. Skill-related fitness enhances one’s performance in athletic or
sports events.
b. Health-related fitness is the ability to become and stay physically
healthy.
Health Components Skill Components
Cardiorespiratory fitness Agility
Muscular strength and endurance Balance
Flexibility Power
Body composition Speed
Coordination
Reaction Time

Health-related components focus on factors that promote optimum

health and prevent the onset of disease and problems associated with
inactivity.

Four Components of Health-Related Fitness

• Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart (cardio) and
circulatory system (vascular) to supply oxygen to muscles for an
extended period of time.
Cardiovascular or cardiorespiratory (lungs) fitness.
Usually the 1km run or some other type of continuous fitness activity
(12-minute run, cycling, step-test, etc.) is used to assess cardiovascular
fitness.
• Muscular endurance refers to the ability of the muscle to work over
an extended period of time without fatigue. Performing push-ups and
sit-ups or crunches for one minute is commonly used in fitness testing
of muscular endurance.

11
 • Muscular strength refers to the maximum amount of force a muscle
can exert against an opposing force. Fitness testing usually consists of
a one-time maximum lift using weights (bench press, leg press, etc.).

• Flexibility is the ability to move a body part through a full range of

motion (ROM) at a joint. The sit-and-reach is commonly used to
determine flexibility.

• Body composition is the ratio of body fat to lean body mass

(including water, bones, muscles, and connective tissues). Having too
many fat tissues is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes,
cancer, and arthritis.
In addition to improving quality of life, healthy- related fitness
 increases muscle tone and strength;
 decreases susceptibility to injuries and illness;
 improves bone mineral density;
 reduces risk of osteoporosis;
 improves posture;
 increases efficiency of the respiratory and circulatory systems;
 decreases risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke;
 improves blood pressure;
 decreases risk of diabetes and some cancers;
 improves self-esteem and self-confidence;
 decreases body fat and improves metabolism; and
 Increases energy level and academic achievement.
 Cardio- Respiratory Endurance (CRE) is perhaps the most essential
fitness element. It is the capability of the heart, blood vessels, and lungs
to supply oxygen and important nutrients to the functioning muscles,
and get rid of waste products during dynamic physical activity. Our life
depends on the efficient performance of our cardio respiratory system.
Studies show that vigorous workout is required to maintain a healthy
heart and avoid heart disease. In addition, good CRE is necessary to
enjoy running, swimming, cycling, and other vigorous activities to survive
at the peak of health and take pleasure in life.

Activities vary in intensity level:

Light Activities are physical activities that engage large group muscle
groups. While engaging in light activities, people begin to notice their
breathing , but they can still talk easily.
Moderate activities are physical activities that cause breathing and heart
rate to increase. People engaging in moderate activities can hear themselves
breath, but they can still talk.

12
Vigorous activities are physical activities that cause breathing and heart
rate to rise to a high level, making it difficult to talk.
An individual may be working at the moderate to vigorous intensity
level while engaging in muscular strength activities and muscular
endurance activities if carried-out in a fitness circuit set up.

B. Health Related Fitness Test

1. Cardiovascular Endurance Test/ Assessment
The three-minute step test (also known as the cooper test) is a simple
way to evaluate your cardiovascular endurance. Follow the
instructions to determine your level of fitness in this area.

The Three-Minute Step Test

Materials:
(12 inches high box or stair step, Stopwatch)
How to do it
Have a household member to time you and count out your pace
for three minute during this test. When your family member tells you
to begin, step up on the box with your right foot, then bring your left
foot up next to it. Step down with your right foot, then your left. Stick
to a pace that allows you to do 24 steps per minute. Your friend
should keep you on pace by saying. Up,up, down, down” as you go.
Step up and down on the box for three consecutive minutes.
When you are done, sit down and rest for one minute. When one
minute is up, take your pulse for one full minute.

Remember, this test is meant to give you general idea of your

level of cardiovascular fitness-only a doctor or professional trainer can
give you a personalized assessment.

If you have good cardiovascular endurance, your heart will be

able to quickly recover from the exercise. The lower your heart rate is,
the quicker it recovers and the better your endurance becomes.

13
2. Muscular Strength
Strength is also known as muscular strength, It is vital for
everyone, not just to athletes. Strength is also the ability of a particular
muscle or muscle group to put forth force in a single maximal
contraction to conquer other form of resistance. Relating to everyday
life, this resistance is classified as an activity that involves a level of
strength to perform such as picking up and carrying shopping bags
from the supermarket. A good level of strength permits an individual to
carry out daily activities concerning strength without feeling
exhaustion or weariness. In addition, a good level of strength helps:

 Maintain good posture in old age

 Maintain an independent lifestyle, for instance, being capable of
climbing the stairs at home
 Avoid certain types of injuries such as back injuries
 With coordination while moving such as walking and running
In relation to sport, strength is very important for activities such as:
 Weightlifting– to lift a heavy weight
 Boxing- to make a powerful punch
 Gymnastics- for example, upper body strength is essential to
sustain a handstand
Materials:
(None)

How to do it:
In this test, you will perform as many push-ups as you can without
resting. To do a push-up, lie on your stomach. Place your palm next to your
shoulders so that your arms make a 45-degree angle with your body. Make
sure your toes are pointing straight into the ground. Keeping your legs
backside tight, push your body up, making sure that your body stays in a
straight line and your hips do not sag your stomach should be pulled in and
head relaxed and in line with your body. Do as many push-ups as possible
while still using the correct form.
Write down your total score.

14
3. MUSCULAR ENDURANCE
Unlike strength that involves the muscle performing one action,
muscular endurance involves the muscle in building a number of
continuous movements. Muscular endurance can be a specific muscle or
muscle group such as the biceps, making continual contractions over a
considerable period, perhaps over a number of minutes.

The following are a number of everyday activities that require good

muscular endurance:

 Pump the well

 Gardening
 Cleaning your backyards

As all these activities involve a number of muscular contractions over

a number of minutes, it would require a good intensity of muscular
endurance. It also vital for nearly all sports.

4. Muscular strength and Endurance Tests

Muscular strength and endurance are advantages in the capability to
carry out daily activities such as lifting, carrying, pushing, and pulling
without tension or unwarranted exhaustion. Strength and endurance of the
abdominal muscles are mainly significant for good stance and lower back
health. Muscular fitness activities shape and control muscle necessary for a
trimmed, well-toned look. For years, muscular strength and muscular
endurance tests have been used to determine physical fitness. Strength is
best developed by weight training and is often measured by one maximal lift
with weight. Muscular strength and muscular endurance are measured by
different tests. You can assess the strength of major muscle groups by

15
taking the Leg Press Strength Test and the Bench Press Strength Test
Exercises.

Abdominal Curls and Push-Ups

Abdominal curls are perhaps the best way to appraise the endurance of the
abdominal muscles. The traditional Bent-Knee Sit-Up Test requires use of
the thighs and hip flexors plus abdominals and may put the back in danger.
Abdominal curls separate and test abdominal muscles, lessening hazard to
the lower back. Push-ups test the muscular endurance of the arms and
upper body muscles.

Leg Press Strength Test

look for a leg press illustration

The excellent measure of strength is one single maximal lift. This

should be tried only after a number of sessions of weight training,
highlighting right lifting figure for protection because the threat of harm is
high for an inexpert lifter. If you have knee, ankle, or lower back problems,
make sure to consult your physician before trying a maximal lift. As there is
no industry standard for resistance levels on weight machines. “70 pounds”
will give a somewhat different resistance level. Strength testing using a
machine is promoted, as it is more secure than using free weights.

Bench Press Strength Test

16
 If you have shoulder troubles, check with your physician. Before
trying a maximal lift. Although free weights may be used, strength testing
using a machine is recommended, as it is safer than using free weights.

5. Flexibility
Picking up scattered pieces of paper from the floor or reaching for
something needs good flexibility. Flexibility is the capability of a particular
joint such as our knee, to move during a complete range of movement. A
flexible body possesses a better variety of motion which should help in the
performance of skills.

Flexibility is the ability of the joints to move. Each joint (location

where your bones join together) in your body is designed to move in a
certain way. Flexibility is as important as aerobic endurance and must be
specifically included during training. Sports performers have a tendency to
carry out stretches for a couple of minutes at the start and end of their
session within the warm-up and cool-down.

17
Below are a number of benefits connected to good level of flexibility:
 Development of posture
 Avoidance of lower back pain
 Preservation of healthy joints
 Decrease in the danger of injury
 Improved dynamic balance while moving
 Decrease in muscle discomfort after exercise
 Improved blood flow and nutrients to the joints

Poor flexibility can also contribute to poor posture. Regular stretching

can help you maintain good posture.

Flexibility Tests
Flexibility is a helpful advantage in daily activities and in any kind of
forceful exercise programs. The capability to move joints during a full range
of motion without severity or stiffness makes exercise more relaxed and may
reduce dangers. Flexibility tests signify whether you have a normal range of
movement in the lower back and other vital areas.

Quick Check for Flexibility

The quick checks for flexibility are simple ways of measuring the
elasticity of key muscle groups frequently shortened and stiffened in daily
activities. Every quick check is also a stretch, so if your series of motion is
limited or if you feel extreme tension in a joint or muscle group, apply the
similar position to develop flexibility in that area.

Flexibility
Flexibility can be tested in many different ways. It is possible to be
more flexible in one area of your body and less flexible in another—for
example, you might have good flexibility in your shoulders, but need to work
on the flexibility in your legs and hips. It is especially important to work
toward balanced flexibility on both sides of your body. If one of your
shoulders or one of legs is more flexible that the other, you are at a higher
risk for injury.

Flexibility Exercises for Basic Fitness

As part of a warm-up or cool-down, flexibility exercises are important
for runners, walker, and aerobic dancers. Cyclists, swimmers, and water
exercises, on the other hand, should add upper-body stretches. (See
stretches on the next page). If time is limited, save stretching for the cool-
down. For basic fitness flexibility, perform the full program of exercises.
Hold each one for 10 to 30 seconds and repeat at least four times. These
exercises give an introductory flexibility session that you can incorporate
into your routine.

18
6. Body composition
Body composition is the percentage of body fat and lean body tissue in
an individual. Lean body tissue is composed of water, blood, skin, muscle,
and bone. From a health viewpoint, it is significant to have low levels of body
fat.
For a spots person, increased levels of fat can accumulate through
inactivity caused by injury or during the off-season, and can lead to a
decrease in performance. An increase in body fat can reduce the fitness level
of a player and can make him or her slower.
Having too much body fat can also cause problems. People who have
too much fat (also called being over fat) or have a high Body Mass Index
(also called being overweight) have a greater risk of having diseases such as
heart disease, cancer, and high blood pressure. Another disease called
diabetes exists when the body’s sugar level are too high. People with this
condition may need special medication and must pay particular attention to
what they eat and how they exercise. The most common form of diabetes is
much more frequent among people who have too much body fat.
Body Composition Tests
Fat works as an insulator, keeping body heat. As such, certain
amount of body fat is necessary to good health. It protect the bones, protects
internal organs and it stores, and provides energy for later use.
Not many people recognize that extreme leanness can be as unhealthy
as extreme fatness. For young adults, a usual range of body fat for women is
21 to 24 percent, and for men, it is 14 to 17 percent. Remember that all of
us have inherited a certain body build and fat distribution; it is innate for
some bodies to take more fat that others do. It is also normal to increase
body fat slightly as we grow old.
Although weight scales can tell you how much you weigh, it cannot
tell you how much of your body consisted fat. An inactive person may retain
a normal weight for height but increases fat and drop lean body mass or
muscle tissue in due course. A body builder may be “overweight” according
to height and weight charts, but this is because of the development of
muscle and bone rather than fat. Being overweight due to having a
considerable amount of lean muscle tissue is not the same as being plump
due to excess fat tissue. People who have a muscular build-up may feel they
are excessively heavy even when the weight is primarily lean tissue. They
could jeopardize their health trying to lose weight unreasonably. Then again,
inactive people who are content with their weight may be surprised to find
out that their body fat percentage is over 30 percent, high enough to cause
health threat. In the early phases of a fitness program, excess fat will
frequently be lost and lean muscle weight will raise as fitness progresses.
Even in the absence of a considerable weight change occurrence, the

19
exerciser is leaner and looks trimmer, as a pound of muscle is denser that a
pound of fat.
Body fat is measure by using a number of different methods.
Laboratory tests contain Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and
hydrostatic weighing. Non-laboratory test that use indirect methods to
calculate body composition include bioelectrical impedance, skin fold
assessment, and measurements of circumference. Although these tests are
not 100 percent accurate, they are helpful for assessing change in body
composition.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) and skinfold measurement test will help
you determine if you are in the healthy fitness zone. Your test results will
show if you are in a zone that helps you function effectively and avoid
problems associated with having too much or too little body fat or body
weight.

C. Barriers to Physical Activity Involvement

You might have experienced that no matter how determined you exercise,
you suddenly lose interest and when an emergency comes up, you feel like
you are not in the mood etc. In fact, many people come up with excuses to
avoid exercise.
What keeps young people from engaging into regular physical activity?
 Lack of Time
If you think that you do not have the time to engage yourself in
physical activities, make an effort to:
1. Maintain a journal of your daily activities for a week. Use it to check
how much free time you have.
2. Manage to break up your workout sessions into two 15-minute blocks,
or even into three 10- minute blocks, in case dedicating a 30- minute
exercise each day, is not possible.
3. Get a quick 15- minute walk at lunchtime. Try to include physical
activity into your daily activities. For instance, get off public transport
one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way or use the stairs instead
of the elevator.

 Exercise is Uninteresting
At times, it is the lack of interest rather than the lack of time that is
the problem. If you think exercise is boring, try to:
1. Exercise with a friend or an associate. Join a group or take up a team
sport.

20
 2. Consider the physical activities you enjoyed when you were still a kid.
That could be roller-skating, biking or jumping jack. Return to these
activities and you may find them just as pleasurable at present.
3. Do not think that exercising is painful or boring. It would be good to
change the way you think about physical activity. Physical activity is
all in relation to getting more movement into your day. It should be
enjoyable. Think about hobbies like dancing, gardening, or yoga.
4. Arrange participation into a variety of physical activities. Combine
them.
5. Think about using workout equipment at home such as stationary
bike or treadmill. This way, you can exercise at the same time you are
watching your favorite television series.
 Does not have the idea how to be active (Lack of Skill)
Many people are willing to help when you decide to be active and get
moving. Suggestions include:
1. Checking with your doctor for suggestions and support when getting
on a physical activity plan.
2. Getting in touch with your local community center. Most centers
suggest an assortment of physical activity classes at modest fees.
3. Visiting your local gym or sports center. Most gyms, sporting clubs
and dance clubs offer an introductory free first lesson. Take advantage
of these free lessons to help you find a activity that suits you.
 Tired (Lack of Energy)
Life can be very tiring but incredibly, the more that you are on the go,
the more vigor you will have for everything else. Ideas include:
1. Trying to be active on most days of the week and you will soon feel
more vigorous. The fitter you are, the more lively your life becomes.
2. Reorganizing your to-do list if you can. This way, you can be full of
energy in the morning rather than at night.
3. Exercising during your lunch break or making activities during your
travel to work by cycling or walking part or all of the way.
4. Perking up your diet as healthy foods can increase you energy levels.
5. Making sure to get quality sleep.

 Not feeling well and not thinking fit

There is something for every person to do, even if you are not feeling
good. At times, activities can essentially help you feel better.
1. Examine your medical condition. Speak with your doctor or local
support group, or browse through health channel articles to get
physical activities that may be appropriate for you.
2. Decide on an activity that feels comfortable.

21
 3. Begin gradually. Start by exercising for about 10 minutes daily then
increase the time little by little and step up as your fitness progresses.
4. Never push yourself excessively. If you feel pain, reduce the intensity
or discontinue everything. Pain is an indication that there is
something wrong.
 Excuses about the weather
It is too hot, it is too cold, or it is raining, yet there are things you can
do regardless of the weather:
1. Have a range of indoor and outdoor activities to decide from so that
weather cannot get in the way with your exercise arrangements.
2. Select indoor activities like working out using an exercise video or
stationary cycling on days when you do not want to exercise outdoor.
3. Work out in a gym or swim at your local pool.
4. Take a brisk walk at your local air-conditioned shopping center.

 I don’t feel like it (Lack of Motivation)

Shifting lifestyle is never easy but once you begin to feel better, you
will realize the benefits of the changes you have made. If you do not feel like
being active, try to:
1. Recognize your barriers to physical activity.
2. Surf through health channel and browse on the benefits of physical
activity. Look for personal reasons to encourage you to become more
active.
3. Choose single recreations such as working out using an exercise video
if you feel uneasy exercising in front of other people.
4. Make certain your objectives are sensible. Avoid the ‘all-or-nothing’
catch that physical activity is a waste of time if it cannot make you fit
or slim.
5. Plan physical activities ahead. Prepare appointments and put them in
your diary.
6. Look for a workout friend, as you are more likely to commit to regular
physical activity if you have someone else relying on you.

Active Video Games Help Some Kids Get Active

By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Health News Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Oct. 1, 2012 -- One type of TV time may actually play a valuable role in the
battle against childhood obesity.
A new study suggests active video games may help children, especially
girls, raise physical activity levels.
The results show most teens who play active video games play at
moderate or vigorous intensity levels that would help them meet the
recommended 60 minutes of physical activity on most days.
Researchers say so-called exergames may also help at-risk young people
get moving.
“Because exergames can be played in a variety of settings, including
unsafe neighborhoods, they can increase opportunities for youth to engage
in [physical activity] and decrease sedentary behavior,” researcher Erin
O’Loughlin of the University of Montreal, Canada, and colleagues write in
Pediatrics.
Exergames are screen-based active video games in which individual
players or groups interact in a physically active way. They include
rhythmic dancing games, virtual bicycles, balance board simulators, and
virtual sport simulators.
They require a screen, like a TV or computer, and a gaming console, such
as the Nintendo Wii. The video games track the players‟ movements
onscreen as they attempt to reach a goal.
Nearly three-fourths (73%) said they played at a moderate or vigorous
level of physical intensity that would count toward meeting the
recommended physical activity guidelines.
Researchers also found that exercise video games like "Wii Fit" and "Dance
Dance Revolution," which require high amounts of energy, were among the
most popular active video games.

26
 The study shows that boys are more likely to play non-active video games,
and girls were more likely to play active video games.
Researchers also found that most children who played active video games
played at home, but many also played at friends‟ homes.

New Role for Active Video Games?

Researchers say the results suggest that active video games may have a
unique role in the battle against rising childhood obesity rates.

“It is possible that some girls may be uncomfortable exercising at school or in

community settings because they feel scrutinized or judged and therefore
prefer exercising at home alone or with friends,” the researchers write.

“Lack of school-based exergaming may represent a „missed opportunity‟ to

introduce young people to another form of [physical activity],” they write.
“The feasibility of exergaming in community centers or at school needs to be
tested, and research on the sustainability of exergaming is warranted.”
