What’s In
In previous lesson, we have discussed that during exercise, the
body uses large amount of energy in three different ways. The ATP/ CP system,
anaerobic system and aerobic system. These are the chemical pathways that cope
with energy production and the products of physical work. In general, the relative
contribution from each system depends on the intensity and duration of the activity. A
basic understanding on how our body uses energy during different forms of exercise
is very useful in designing an effective exercise program. Thus, health-related fitness
test are considered the starting point for designing an appropriate exercise program.
In this lesson, we will have better understanding on Health-related
fitness test which evaluate our overall health and physical status. Health and fitness
are two things that we must take care of to lead a good life since being physically fit
has a lot of advantages and is essential to work correctly and live productively. Health
is wealth and we must take good care of ourselves, therefore, let`s strive to be healthy!
What ’s New
ACTIVITY 1. Let`s Find Out! Observe the picture and answer the questions below.


Describe the picture.
Which type of physical
activity do you usually do?
What are the benefits of
doing such activities?
In this module, we will learn the value of Health-related components of fitness,
and the HR fitness test.
What is it
Physical fitness is defined as a state of good health as a result of exercise and
proper nutrition. Staying healthy is everyone`s priority. Most people understand that
there are benefits that arise from prioritizing physical fitness because active people
generally live longer and enjoys a better quality of life. The key to achieve physical
fitness for health reasons is to give emphasis on health-related fitness components
when doing work out. It is not defined only by what kind of activity you do, how long
you do it, or at what level of intensity but rather over all fitness which made up of 5
main components. These fitness components focus on factors that promote optimum
health and prevent the onset of disease and problems associated with inactivity. You
can determine if someone is physically fit by determining how well they perform in each
component in HRF.
The Health-related fitness (HRF) consist of 5 components namely;
Cardiorespiratory Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and
Body Composition.
Cardiovascular Endurance - is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to
provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained
workloads. Physical activity that trains for cardio respiratory endurance
focuses on repetitive, dynamic, and prolonged movements using major
muscles groups.
Muscular Strength - the amount of force muscles can produce. You can train your
muscles to be stronger by lifting heavy weights for a few repetitions.
3
Muscular Endurance - the ability of muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing.
It is a measure of how long a muscle can withstand a prolonged
contraction or many repeated contractions.
Flexibility - ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a
specific joint. It helps to prevent muscular imbalances and allows you to
move about with ease.
Body composition- the amount of mass compared to lean muscle mass bone and
organs. Overall health generally improves when you have lower amount
of fat mass and higher amount of lean muscles.
HEALTH-RELATED FITNESS TEST
1. Anthropometric Measurements
Purpose: To determine Body Mass Index
Material/Equipment Needed: Bathroom scale, Tape measure
Execution:
a. Height. Stand straight, with buttocks and shoulder pressed

c. Waistline. Locate your upper hip bone. Place your hands around
your waist, squeezing slightly and then moving your fingers
downward until you feel the top curve of your hips. Place a tape
measure around your stomach above the upper hip bone. Record
in centimeters (cms).
d. Hipline. Place tape measure on the widest part of hip in line with
the pubis.
e. Computation:
e.1 Body Mass Index (BMI) – measure the body mass based on
height and weight that aid in determining weight categories.
BMI =
weight in kg.
(height in m)2
Meters is use for height and Kilograms is use for weight. Supposed your weight
is 60 kilograms and height is 1.7 meters; here’s your BMI:

What ’s In
In the previous lesson, we discussed the components of health
related fitness and undergo the different types of HR fitness test in which those test are
considered as the starting point to design appropriate exercise program that has a long
term benefit. With that activity, you were able to identify your strength and weaknesses
and the areas which you need to improve. A person stays happier when he-/ she is fit
and healthy that is why we need to engage ourselves in any physical activity to reduce
the risk of having diseases and illnesses. However, some people do not engage
themselves in any physical activity and now you might be wondering why.
Today in our next lesson, we will determine the different barriers
to physical activity and how to overcome those barriers. Changing habits is not easy
but once you start to feel better, you will see the benefits and the changes you`ve
made.

physical activity. Factors such as Poor street lighting at night and a lack of convenient
places to do Physical Activity, traffic, crime and pollution may also have an effect.
Where we live, learn, work and play appear to have a great deal to do with how active
we are. Creating activity-friendly environment is one way to help people become
inactive such as buildings, streets, and communities that encourage walking and
biking.
