What is physical education?
Physical education is a process that uses physical activity as a means to help people
acquire skills, fitness, knowledge, and attitudes that contribute to their optimal
development and well-being.
What are some benefits of studying physical education?
Some benefits are...
 Increasing physical activity and health
 Improving academic performance and on–task behavior
 Developing confidence and self esteem
 Nurturing sportsmanship and enjoyment of sports
 Enhancing teamwork and leadership skills, etc.
What are the components of fitness?
 Cardiovascular endurance
 Muscular strength
 Muscular endurance
 Flexibility
 Body composition
Explain the 5 components of fitness
CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE: Cardiovascular endurance refers to your
body's ability to efficiently and effectively intake oxygen and deliver it to your body's
tissues through the heart, lungs, arteries, vessels, and veins.
MUSCULAR ENDURANCE: Muscular endurance is one of two factors that
contribute to overall muscular health. Muscular endurance is a particular muscle
group's ability to continuously contract against a given resistance.
MUSCULAR STRENGTH: Muscular strength refers to the amount of force a
specific muscle group can produce in one, all-out effort. In strength training terms,
it's your one-rep max.
FLEXIBILITY: Flexibility refers to the range of motion around a given joint
without pain. Like muscular strength and endurance, flexibility is joint-specific.
BODY COMPOSITION: Body composition, or your body's fat mass ratio to fat-free
mass, is the final component of health-related physical fitness.
How are these activities performed on the field?

JOGGING: Begin exercise by standing upright with your arms bent at the elbows.
Begin jogging by stepping forward with your foot and focus on landing between your
heel and the middle of your foot. Try not to land straight on your heel or flat on your
feet. As you switch the positions of your feet, be sure to swing your arms back and
forth to give your body momentum and balance.

JUMPING JACKS: Begin by standing with your legs straight and your arms
to your sides. Jump up and spread your feet beyond hip-width apart while
bringing your arms above your head, nearly touching. Jump again, lowering
your arms and bringing your legs together. Return to your starting position.

SQUATS: Begin by standing with your feet slightly wider than your hips.
Your toes should be pointed slightly outward – about 5 to 20 degrees outward
(the wider your stance, the more you’ll want to rotate your feet outward).
Repeat upward and downward movements at a moderate speed.

PUSH-UPS:


PLANKS:
SIT-UPS: Begin by sitting on the floor. You may put your hands on the back
of your head for comfortability. Interchange between lying down and sitting
up. You may ask a friend to stand upon your feet for easier sit-ups.
State two benefits of each exercise stated above.
Which component[s] of fitness do the exercises stated above improve upon?
Design solutions to support the areas of development that have been identified
The performance development plan will demonstrate the student’s ability to perform
exercises in the right and meaningful manner, as well as to make the components of
fitness easily understood by beginners, like the 5th graders of Zuma High
International Academy. It also shows the benefits of the exercises they will learn to
perform to encourage them to be open in learning the exercises and to exercise more
to achieve the outcomes and to see their fitness levels increasing as they do more
exercise.
