Study Notes

Physical Activity Importance

Physical activity is essential for overall health and well-being.
Republic Act 5708 promotes integrated physical education and sports development in Philippine schools.

Energy Systems Optimization

The body requires energy for all functions, including during rest.
Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in muscles.
Fats provide insulation and prevent heat loss.
Proteins support the repair and growth of body tissues.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the primary energy fuel for bodily functions.
The aerobic energy system utilizes oxygen, glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids for energy production.

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercises

Aerobic respiration requires oxygen, producing energy more slowly but in greater amounts.
Anaerobic respiration occurs without oxygen, generating energy rapidly but in smaller quantities.
