Study Notes

Simbahan

  • Constructed using materials like cutout rocks, large stones, refined hardwood, capiz-shelled windows, and roof tiles.
  • Architectural features include roof beams supported by walls, steeped supports, and arched doors and windows.

Carcel

  • Made from similar materials as Simbahan, including cutout rocks, large stones, refined hardwood, capiz-shelled windows, and roof tiles.
  • Design elements consist of roof beams supported by walls with steeped supports, enclosed interiors, and limited ventilation.

Gabaldon School Houses

  • Heritage schoolhouses established in the Philippines during the American colonial period.
  • Built with wood, capiz-shelled window panels, and a corrugated iron roof.
  • Architectural design features include roofed and open porches.
  • Skill-related fitness components enhance performance in sports and athletic events.
  • Key components include agility, balance, coordination, power, speed, and reaction time.

Agility

  • Defined as the ability to change and control the body's direction and position while in motion.
  • Allows athletes to maneuver quickly, as exemplified by changing directions while hitting a ball.

Balance

  • Refers to the capacity to maintain an upright posture, whether stationary or during movement.
  • Critical for activities that require stability, such as skating.

Coordination

  • The ability to effectively use the senses in conjunction with body movements.
  • Important for tasks that require precise timing and control, demonstrated by dribbling a basketball.

Speed

  • Represents the capability to execute movement or cover distance in minimal time.
  • Essential for quick plays in sports, like a basketball player performing a fast break lay-up.

Reaction Time

  • The speed at which an individual responds to stimuli (visual, auditory, or sensory).
  • Vital in competitive sports, illustrated by a player responding immediately to a signal, such as "go."

Power

  • Combines speed and muscular strength to enable explosive movement.
  • Important for actions that require both quickness and force, such as a basketball player dribbling swiftly while preparing for a dunk.
