PATHFIT03: MENU OF DANCE, SPORTTS, MARTIAL ARTS, GROUP EXERCISES, OUTDOOR AND ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES UNIT 1 Setting Health, Fitness and Dietary Targets At the end of the lesson, the students Behavior Towards Fitness shall be able to: identify one’s present behavior towards fitness create a Behavior Modification Plan to improve one’s lifestyle; and discuss healthy eating principles It is like love or hate when it comes to fitness. Making the decision to be fit is the most important behavior to engage in outside of the target fitness behaviors (e.g., running, lifting) themselves (Green,2020). Maintaining a physically fit body can be easily achieved through various physical activities, but you will never be able to maintain this habit if you don't feel good about yourself or your body. Behaviors such as exercise routines, dietary choices, and lifestyle habits directly impact physical fitness (Ryan, 2024). Behavior has an impact on motivation, self-control, and consistency in leading an active lifestyle. Physical fitness levels can be greatly impacted by forming healthy habits, such as prioritizing exercise, creating clear fitness goals, and controlling stress. As everyone knows, finding the motivation toward fitness can be challenging. It is up to you to determine whether or not you value living longer. You have to make the decision that you value leading a better life. Green (2020) emphasized that decisions are the output of thinking, imagining, planning, and figuring out what’s next. Thus, we make the decision to be fit even before we engaged in any fitness behavior. Making the lifelong choice to maintain your physical health and participate in long-term fitness activities. A lot of things have an impact on this value-based decision. The decision to be fit is effortful, takes time, but has purpose. There now, go decide.

If you need a little healthy eating inspiration to get you back on track, these inspiring healthy eating principles will give you plenty of ideas. General nutrition often offers advice about calories, carbohydrates, and fat, but all too often, we forget to address the holistic value of a well-balanced diet. Together with physical activity, a healthy diet is essential to achieve a sustainable health, which is defined as a healthy and active ageing avoiding the risk of diseases (Del Castillo & DeHond, 2024). Commit to a better mind, body and soul. Be passionate about maintaining a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Gratitude should be an integral part of everyday meal. you are about to consume. Fitness Testing Fitness testing is also known as fitness assessment. Fitness At the end of the unit, the students shall be able to: assessments are series of tests that measures and monitors students’ Execute the different physical fitness levels (Oklahoma Education). The series of tests will fitness tests assess the five health-related components namely: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body Set a fitness goal for oneself that would composition. promote sustainable lifestyle (SDG4/4.7) Fitness testing is an effective strategy to monitor and assess students’ fitness levels (Oklahoma Education). It can also help Individuals respond differently, both PATHFIT03 students understand how healthy they are by leaning about physically and mentally, the five components and how to set goals to improve their health-related to the same training fitness. Anderson (2024) expressed that measuring your fitness level protocols. regularly is one way to find out if you are making progress. Fitness testing must be individualized to account for individual Body Mass Index (BMI) – is the amount of fat mass compared differences. to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. The BMI is a popular tool for screening the PATHFIT03 students’ body composition because it is simple and non-invasive. It calculates the ratio of your weight to your height. Waist-Hip-Ratio (WHR) is one way to see if excess weight is putting your health at risk. It determines how much fat is stored on your waist, hips, and buttocks (Watson & Nall, 2023). The WHR measures the ratio of your waist circumference to your hip circumference. Even if your BMI is within a moderate range, your risk of disease may be increased.

It assesses your fitness level based on how quickly your heart after exercise. rate recovers after a 3-minute bout of submaximal cardio exercise (Burmann, 2024). The results of a 3-minute step test can tell you how hard you can be safely pushing your heart during exercise. The lower your heart rate, the better your level of cardio fitness. A limitation of sit and reach is that, people with long Sit and Reach – measures flexibility of the lower back and arms and/or short legs hamstring muscles (Quinn, 2024). The tightness in the lower back and would get better results, while those with short arms hamstrings is often related to muscle pain and stiffness. This test may and/or long legs are at a help determine a student’s risk for future pain and injury. disadvantage. 1-Minute Squats – requires the student to complete as many squats as possible with no rest (Wood, 2008). The squat test measures the leg strength. Strong legs are essential in almost all sports. Performing the squat test regularly will allow you to measure your progress. 1-Minute Push Up – measures the upper body strength endurance. Push-ups are also excellent way to test strength and endurance (Quinn, 2023). Doing a push-up test can give you a sense of whether you would benefit from improving your fitness and a rough glimpse into cardiovascular health. 1-Minute Sit-Up – measures the strength and endurance of the abdominals and hip-flexor muscles (MAT, 2024). Count how many you can do in one minute. Don’t worry too much about how you rate. Just try and improve your own score. Karvonen Formula The Karvonen Formula is a mathematical formula that helps you determine your target heart rate (THR) training zone. The formula uses maximum and resting heart rate with the desired training intensity to get a target heart rate. 1. 220-age = estimated max HR 2. Estimated max HR – resting HR = HR reserve (HRR) 3. HRR x %age (e.g. 60%) = %age of HRR 4. % of HRR + resting HR = target HR PMPCSOMCIO PATHFIT03: 5  PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TOWARDS HEALTH AND FITNESS 01 Training Heart Rate Zone Your PULSE determines your Example 1 heart rate, or how many times your heart beats in one minute. A 25-year-old who has a resting heart rate of 65, wanting to know his training heart rate for the intensity level 60% - 70%. PULSE RATES differ from person to person based on various factors such as weight, His Minimum Training Heart Rate: and activity level. 1. 220 – 25 (Age) = 195 2. 195 – 65 (Resting HR) = 130 HR Reserve (HRR) To get the best results, you should exercise below your 3. 130 (HRR) x.60 (Min. Intensity) = 78 (% of HRR) maximum heart rate in what is 4. 78 (%age of HRR) + 65 (Resting HR) = 143 Beats/Minute referred to as target heart rate. This will guarantee that you are achieving the ideal intensity level for your goals. His Maximum Training Heart Rate: 1. 220 – 25 (Age) = 195 2. 195 – 65 (Resting HR) = 130 Heart Rate by Age 220 – age 3. 130 X.70 (Max. Intensity) = 91 (% of HRR) 4. 91 (%age of HRR) + 65 (Resting HR) = 156 Beats/Minute For example: If you are 50 years old, the calculation would be: 220-50 = 170 (HRmax) His training heart rate zone will therefore be 143-156 beats per To calculate your heart rate on minute. the high end of the suitable range (about 75% of your max heart rate), multiply 170 by 0.75 (max intensity) to get about 128 beats per minute Example 2 (bpm) Marie is 20 years old and would like to calculate her target heart Heart Rate by Age and Gender rate if she exercises at a 65% -75% intensity level. She has a resting This method is more precise in heart rate of 65 predicting the risk of heart- related issues during a stress test. His Minimum Training Heart Rate: 5. 220 – 20 (Age) = 200 The formula for women is 206 – 88% of their age 6. 200 – 65 (Resting HR) = 135 HR Reserve (HRR) 7. 135 (HRR) x.65 (Min. Intensity) = 88 (% of HRR) For a 50-year-old, 206-(50 x 0.88) = 162 bpm 8. 88 (%age of HRR) + 65 (Resting HR) = 153 Beats/Minute His Maximum Training Heart Rate: 5. 220 – 20 (Age) = 200 6. 200 – 65 (Resting HR) = 135 7. 135 x.75 (Max. Intensity) = 101 (% of HRR) 8. 101 (%age of HRR) + 65 (Resting HR) = 166 Beats/Minute Her training heart rate zone will therefore be 153-166 beats per minute.
