PATHFIT REVIEWER Physical Education- It teaches skills, improves health, and focuses on large-muscle activities that improve movement skills, fitness, and cognitive and affective development. (physical fitness). Article 14, Sec. 19- The State shall promote Physical Education and encourage sports programs, league competitions, and amateur sports. Main goal: To develop physical fitness. WHAT IS PATHFIT? The acronym of “Physical Activity Towards Health and Fitness”, The primary emphasis of PATHFIT is on total body wellness, which encompasses your mental and spiritual well-being and your physical well-being. Republic Act No. 5708- “The Schools Physical Education and Sports Development Act of 1969” Individual Factors- Personality traits like fitness, coordination, confidence, attitude, feelings, desire and awareness of your body and surroundings will affect how you move. Environment- Movements are also affected by location. Task or Activity- The characteristics of the work or activity you are performing will also affect your movement. Movements are the human brain communicating with the outside world. 3 Planes of Motion in Fitness 1. The Sagittal Plane - The sagittal plane is an imaginary line that splits the body in half. (squat) 2. The Frontal Plane - The frontal plane divides the body into the front, back or anterior and posterior sides. (sides) 3. The Transverse Plane - The transverse plane separates the upper and lower halves of the body. (rotations and twisting) Specialized Movement- This type of motion requires using skeletal muscles. musculoskeletal system- will help us determine why our movement, posture and mobility are limited. There are 206 bones in a fully developed human body. Joints- The majority of the movements mostly came in joints. Muscles and Movements- The muscular system is responsible for both movement and bodily processes. Movement Competence - is a person's ability to move safely, effectively, or both. Movement Proficiency - allows us to do everything we want to enjoy life and in the future. Types of Muscular Contraction A. Isometric Contraction - Muscle contract without changing size. Think of stability movement B. Eccentric Contraction - Muscle contracts when it lengthens and puts tension on it. Think of control. C. Concentric - Muscle contract by pulling the tendons and shortening to develop strength. 4 Pillars of Human movements 1. Locomotion- Moving uses all four pillars, making it a vital motor skill. (walking, running, anything that involves traveling) 2. Level Changes- raising and lowering of the body, picking up items, squatting, lunging, or flexing the ankles, knees and feet. 3. Pushing and Pulling- like push-ups, involve pushing away from an object. 4. Rotation- involves twisting movements around the body's axis, which is crucial for many athletic activities and daily functions. Functional Movement Screen (FMS)- a tool designed to identify functional movement deficiencies and asymmetries that can lead to injury. Functional movements- are exercises that mimic everyday activities, improving strength, balance, and coordination FMS Kit: Includes equipment such as measuring devices, hurdles, and instructional materials. Score Card: For recording results from each movement pattern. Screening Guidelines: Detailed criteria for conducting each test. Key Benefits of Functional Movement Training 1. Enhances athletic performance. 2. Improves posture and reduces chronic pain. 3. Aids rehabilitation after injury or surgery. 4. Increases overall mobility and stability. PE 1- Self testing activity PE 2- Dances PE 3- Individual and dual sports PE 4- Team sports and recreational activities Primary Movement Patterns and Exercise 1. The Squat - is a fundamental movement pattern that involves bending the knees and lowering the hips while maintaining an upright torso. (front squats, goblet squats) 2. Press - Lifting weights overhead. (vertical press, horizontal press) 3. Lunge - Stepping forward or backward while lowering the body. 4. Hinge - Bending at the hips while keeping a neutral spine Muscle Groups Engaged: Glutes, hamstrings, lower. Improves hip mobility and strength 5. Pull - Drawing weight toward the body. 6. Walking / Running / Carrying Overview of Locomotion Patterns Importance of Gait Training- Promotes efficiency and reduces injury risk Carrying Variations.
