Today that the whole World is still fighting against Covid-19, we can see the
importance of being fit and healthy to overcome the virus, and other diseases. Whereas,
developing both fitness and health is the main focus of teaching Physical Education. We can
note that Physical Education today has been considered as one of the contributing factor to
enhance positive lifestyle changes which lead to a better quality of life. This means that
through physical education, an individual can acquire sufficient knowledge and
understanding, basic skills, and desirable attitudes that will contribute to his well-being. In
the process, one can achieve total fitness which will enable him to avoid common illnesses,
use free-time wisely, practice self-defense, and overcome life’s stresses. Above all, physical
education can contribute towards long and happy life.
Since one of the most efficient ways to assess your fitness is through
your heart rate, you should always have a record of your heart rate before
and after a physical activity to keep track of your fitness level.
Instructions:
Read the fitness testing protocols (Table 2), before proceeding to the fitness
assessment.
Accomplish the Fitness test form (Table 12). Identify the components being
measured in the second column of the Fitness test form, and write the respective
scores generated by actually performing the indicated tests in the third column.
After finishing the Fitness assessment, answer the guide questions.
Actions:
1. Keeping the back and knees
straight, the performer lowers his
body to a predetermined point,
maintaining at least two inches off
the ground, the elbows should be in a
90 degrees position.
2. Return back to starting position,
elbows extended.
3. Repeat the action as much as
