## Physical Fitness Through Invasion Games ### **Chapter 5: Invasion Games** #### **Lesson 1: Muscular Endurance and Cardiovascular Fitness** **Check the Meaning** * Cardiovascular fitness - ability of the heart and lungs to function efficiently * Muscular endurance - ability to exert force repeatedly over an extended period of time * Marathon - a long-distance running race **Time to Practice** | Activity | Cardiovascular Fitness | Muscular Endurance | |-----------------------------------|------------------------|-------------------| | Walking for one hour | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Running for 10 minutes | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Playing darts for 30 minutes | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Hiking for a day | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Swimming 20 laps | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Ballroom dancing for three hours | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Stationary biking for 15 minutes | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Climbing a coconut tree | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Riding a horse | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | | Flying a kite for an hour | :heavy_check_mark: | :heavy_check_mark: | #### **Lesson 2: Reaction Time, Speed, and Agility** **Check the Meaning** * Reaction time - time it takes to react to a stimulus * Speed - ability to perform movement in a short period of time * Agility - ability to rapidly and accurately change direction of movement. * Stimulus - a change in the environment; an object or event that causes a response or reaction * Sprint - run at full speed #### **Lesson 3: Invasion Games** **Invasion Games** * Invasion game is a game category where teams have a territory to defend. * Teams go through the process of maintaining possession, attacking, and/or defending a goal and territory. * Examples of invasion games are basketball, soccer, hockey, and rugby. **Monkey in the Middle** * **Objective:** * To practice eye-hand coordination, improve reaction time and agility, and teamwork. * **Equipment:** * Medium-sized ball * **Organization:** * The class is divided in groups of threes. * Two players will be the throwers (catchers). * They are to stand facing each other about two meters apart. * The third person will be the "monkey" who stands in the middle between the other two players. * **Procedure:** * On the signal of the teacher, the throwers (2 players) throw the ball at each other. * The "monkey" will try to intercept and get the ball. * If the monkey is successful in getting the ball, he or she takes the place of the thrower who last touched the ball. **In The Hoop** * **Objective:** * To practice eye-hand coordination (throwing and catching), and improve reaction time and agility, and teamwork. * **Facility/Equipment:** * Playing area - Half of a basketball court for a group of ten students (two playing areas inside the basketball court). * Two medium-sized balls. * Two hula hoops - placed at each end of the playing area to serve as goals. * **Organization:** * The class is divided into two groups and be given their playing area or "territory." * Two teams stand facing each other on their side of the court. * A player will stand inside the hula hoop and be considered as the goalie. * **Procedure:** * Players move and pass the ball amongst each other. * They can run around the playing area. * However, the player with the ball must stay in place and cannot run with the ball. * His teammates need to get close to him so he can easily pass the ball to them. * To score a point, the ball must be passed to the goalie, standing inside the hoop. * If the ball falls to the ground, ball possession is given to the other team. * Play resumes from the spot where the ball dropped. * Defenders prevent the attackers from scoring by intercepting the ball while being passed. * Defenders must always be ready to intercept the ball. * If a goal is made, the thrower who scored becomes the goalie and the losing team restarts the game in the middle of the playing area. * A point is earned by the team who scores a goal. **Check the Meaning** * Invasion – Capturing territory * Territory – An area owned or controlled by a group of people **Think about this:** * What are the two roles a player takes in an invasion game? * How do invasion games develop physical fitness? * Which particular fitness components are heavily improved in the invasion games you played? **Great Idea:** * Invasion games are active games that require a team to keep possession, defend, value teamwork, and score. * Active games help improve one's fitness. As per the Pyramid Activity Guide, exercise and playing games are to be done regularly or as often as possible. **Think about this:** * What are the two roles a player takes in an invasion game? * How do invasion games develop physical fitness? * Which particular fitness components are heavily improved in the invasion games you played? **Great Idea:** * Invasion games are active games that require a team to keep possession, defend, value teamwork, and score. * Active games help improve one's fitness.

Players are only allowed to pass the ball when they have possession of it. * When a point is made, the ball is retrieved and placed in the middle of the playing area for the game to restart. * The teacher may call two or more numbers at a time. * The team with the ball becomes the attacker and the other team becomes the defender. * The attacking team will try to score a goal. * If defenders are able to intercept the ball, they will pass it back to the teacher. * Defenders then will become attackers. **Battery Charger** * **Objective:** * To practice running, dodging, game strategy, and teamwork. * **Facility/Equipment:** * Play area (basketball court-size area). * 2 extra large hula hoop (serves as home base/battery charger) placed at either end line of the playing area. * Bibs/vest - 2 colors (one color for each team). * Cones to designate playing boundaries. * 2 cones to serve as prison marks. * **Organization:** * Participants are divided into two equal teams. * Each team stands on their hoop/home base, with a foot inside the hula hoop if the group is big. * Set the playing area boundaries. * **Procedure:** * The home base/hula hoop is considered a battery charger. * When a player is inside the home base, he is fully charged. * As he steps off the hula hoop, he gradually loses charge. * The longer he is off the base the less charged he becomes. * To recharge, he needs to step inside the hula hoop. * The goal of the game is for a player to step inside the opponents' home base (hula hoop) without being tagged. * On signal of the teacher, the players leave their bases to run and try to invade the opponent's base. * The players can tag each other out. * A player with more charge (has just left the home base/charger) can tag out a person with less charge (left the home base/charger earlier) and not vice versa. * If the player with less charge is caught and tagged out, the player goes to prison (a cone 2 meters beside the opponents' home base).
