Study Notes

Importance of Physical Education

Physical Education fosters values, teamwork, and well-rounded individuals committed to societal betterment.
The Philippine Constitution highlights physical education as vital for growth, development, and promoting a healthy citizenry.

Movement Competency

Technical Proficiency: Mastery of movement patterns aligned with biomechanical principles to prevent injuries and enhance performance.
Adaptability: Ability to modify movements based on different situations, surfaces, and equipment.
Functional Movement: Execution of movements essential for daily tasks, such as lifting and carrying.
Motor Control: Precision in controlling muscles and joints, involving coordination and joint alignment.
Coordination: Integration of various body parts to perform movements smoothly.
Progression: Capability to enhance basic movements into advanced forms while adjusting to individual fitness levels.

Defining Physical Activity

Physical activity encompasses any movement that expends energy, including everyday tasks like walking, dancing, and playing.
It is not confined to sports and can include various physical tasks such as hiking and household chores.

Categories of Body Movements

Benefits of Physical Activities

Heart Strengthening: Regular exercise enhances heart muscle performance and prevents heart disease.
Cardiovascular Health: Physical activity clears arteries, reduces harmful cholesterol, and lowers blood pressure, mitigating heart attack and stroke risks.
Lung Efficiency: Increases lung capacity and efficiency, boosting oxygen intake and expelling waste gases.
Blood Sugar Regulation: Physical activity encourages muscle glucose uptake, reducing diabetes risks.
Weight Management: Active individuals maintain a calorie deficit, promoting fat loss.
