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.
