MAPEH 9 (PHYSICAL EDUCATION VIDEO LESSON 1 - QUARTER 1)

Summary

This module introduces grade 9 students to physical fitness, focusing on its two types: health-related fitness and skill-related fitness. The lesson covers components like body composition, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, muscular strength, and endurance, while also diving into skill-related areas such as speed, agility, balance, coordination, power, and reaction time. Students are encouraged to perform various fitness tests to assess and track their progress. The module emphasizes the importance of staying active, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and understanding fitness techniques for maintaining overall well-being.

Takeaways

• 😀 Physical fitness is essential for performing daily tasks without exhaustion and maintaining alertness.
• 😀 There are two main types of physical fitness: health-related fitness and skill-related fitness.
• 😀 Health-related fitness includes body composition, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance.
• 😀 Body composition refers to the proportion of fat to lean body mass, and a BMI test helps assess this.
• 😀 Cardiovascular fitness refers to how well the heart meets metabolic demands during exercise.
• 😀 Flexibility is the ability of joints and muscles to move through their full range of motion, and it can be tested through the sit-and-reach test.
• 😀 Muscular strength is the ability to produce force in a single contraction, while muscular endurance is the ability to sustain prolonged muscle contractions.
• 😀 Skill-related fitness includes speed, agility, balance, coordination, power, and reaction time, which are important for athletic performance.
• 😀 Speed measures the capacity to move from one point to another in a straight line, tested by a 40-meter sprint.
• 😀 Agility involves shifting direction quickly, and balance involves maintaining upright posture while moving.
• 😀 Physical fitness tests help assess various fitness levels and identify areas for improvement in both health and skill-related fitness.

Q & A

What are the two types of physical fitness discussed in the script?

The two types of physical fitness discussed are health-related fitness and skill-related fitness.

What is the main purpose of the body composition component in health-related fitness?

The body composition component focuses on the proportion of lean body mass to fat body mass. A higher percentage of body fat can lead to higher risks of illness.

How is body mass index (BMI) calculated, and what does it indicate?

BMI is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by the square of their height (in meters). It helps classify a person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese, based on the resulting value.

What is the significance of cardiovascular fitness, and how is it tested?

Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of the heart to meet metabolic demands during exercise. One way to test this is through the three-minute step test, where a person's heart rate is measured after stepping up and down a bench for three minutes.

What is flexibility, and what test is used to assess it?

Flexibility refers to the ability of the joints and muscles to move through their full range of motion. The sit-and-reach test is used to assess flexibility, where the person reaches forward without bending their knees to measure the farthest distance.

What is the purpose of muscular strength tests like push-ups?

Muscular strength tests, such as push-ups, assess the ability of muscles to exert force. The test measures how many push-ups a person can perform correctly, maintaining proper form and cadence.

What is muscular endurance, and how can it be improved?

Muscular endurance is the ability of muscle groups to sustain prolonged contractions. It can be improved by lifting weights with high repetitions or performing activities like sit-ups to measure endurance.

What is the role of skill-related fitness in athletic performance?

Skill-related fitness forms the foundation for athletic performance and is the ability to perform well in sports and games. It includes components like speed, agility, balance, coordination, power, and reaction time.

How is balance tested in skill-related fitness?

Balance is tested by performing exercises like the torque balance standards, where the individual maintains an upright position and assesses their ability to stay balanced during movement.

What is the purpose of reaction time tests, and how are they conducted?

Reaction time tests measure how quickly a person can respond to a stimulus. One example is the stick grab test, where the speed of reaction to a given signal is measured.
