Physical Education Overview

Integral part of the educational program promoting optimum individual development through physical activities.
Focuses on multiple developments: physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual.

Legal Bases of Physical Education in the Philippines

Introduction of physical exercise in public schools began in 1901.
Mandatory physical education curriculum established in 1920 for all public schools.
1937 marked physical education as a curricular subject in secondary schools.
School of Physical Education and Sports Development Act enacted in 1969.

Objectives of Physical Education

Aims to promote self-discipline, teamwork, and excellence in developing a healthy citizenry.
Encourages participation in sports activities nationwide.

Agility: Capacity to change body direction rapidly.
Balance: Ability to stabilize the body during movement or stillness.
Coordination: Integration of sensory information with body movement.
Speed: Quick movement of body parts.
Power: Ability to exert maximum muscle force rapidly.
Reaction Time: Speed of response to stimuli.

Positive Effects of Physical Fitness

Reduces risk of premature death.
Minimizes risk of various health conditions.

Nutritional Aspects for Physical Health

Fat-Soluble Vitamins:
- Vitamin A: Essential for vision and immune health.
- Vitamin D: Important for calcium absorption.
- Vitamin E: Antioxidant that protects cells.
- Vitamin K: Key for blood clotting.
Minerals:
- Calcium: Builds strong bones and assists in blood clotting.
- Potassium: Supports muscle and nerve function.
- Sodium: Regulates water balance and stimulates nerves.
- Iron: Vital for oxygen transport in the body.
- Zinc: Crucial for immune function and reproduction.

Anatomical Position and Terminology

Anatomical Position defined: Upright, face and feet forward, arms at sides, palms facing forward.
Planes include:
- Frontal (Coronal): Splits body into front and back.
- Sagittal: Splits body into left and right.
- Transverse: Splits body into upper and lower.

Body Position Terminology

Medial: Toward the midline (e.g., neck is medial to shoulder).
Lateral: Away from the midline (e.g., eye is lateral to nose).
Superior: Towards the top (e.g., nose is superior to mouth).
Inferior: Towards the bottom (e.g., eyes are inferior to eyebrows).
Proximal: Closer to point of attachment (e.g., elbow is proximal to wrist).
Distal: Farther from point of attachment (e.g., ankle is distal to knee).
Superficial/Deep: Near surface vs. farther from surface of body.

Effects of Poor Posture

Causes misalignment of bones and strain on muscles, joints, ligaments.
Results in fatigue, pain, and can affect organ function.

Healthy Back Curves and Postural Deviation

Healthy spine consists of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar curves.
Common postural deviations include forward head, round shoulders, kyphosis, and scoliosis.

Anatomical Movements

Flexion/Extension: Decrease/increase angle between body parts.
Abduction/Adduction: Movement away/towards the midline.
Medial/Lateral Rotation: Rotating towards/away from the midline.
Supination/Pronation: Palm facing up/down.
Movements like elevation, depression, dorsiflexion, and plantarflexion.

Body Types

Somatotyping: Classification system based on body shape and proportions, aiding in understanding weight management goals.
