 Physical Education

Physical Education is "education through the physical". It aims to develop

students’ physical competence and knowledge of movement and safety, and their
ability to use these to perform in a wide range of activities associated with the
development of an active and healthy lifestyle. It also develops students’
confidence and generic skills, especially those of collaboration, communication,
creativity, critical thinking and aesthetic appreciation. These, together with the
nurturing of positive values and attitudes in PE, provide a good foundation for
students’ lifelong and life-wide learning.

 Physical Education objectives

Students will understand the importance of sound health and fitness principles
as they relate to better health and will be able to:

Define the various health components of fitness.

Recognize the physical and mental benefits of increased activity.

Understand anatomy, basic bio mechanical principles and terminology.

Determine factors involved with development, fitness levels and training

strategies.

Examine the effect of nutrition, rest and other lifestyle factors that contribute to
better health.

Students will be exposed to a variety of activities providing them the

opportunity to:

Apply learned fundamental skills.

Utilize physical activity as a tool to manage stress.

Empower themselves by setting and working toward realistic individual goals.

Participate in a motivating and nurturing environment resulting in a greater sense

of well-being and self-esteem.

Participate in active learning to stimulate continued inquiry about physical

education, health and fitness.

Students will demonstrate proficiency through knowledge and acquired skills

enabling them to:

Understand and utilize various training methods.

Assess individual levels of fitness components.

Create a safe, progressive, methodical and efficient activity based plan to enhance
improvement and minimize risk of injury.

Identify common health and fitness myths along with trends involved with the
evolving nature of physical education.

Develop an appreciation of physical activity as a lifetime pursuit and a means to

better health.

 Concept of Physical Fitness

Physical fitness refers to maximum functional capacity of all system of the

body. We are exercising whenever we move and keeping our body tuned and in a
good running order. The body of human is framed in such a way that it can jump,
climb, bend, stretch and do more tedious work. The human body becomes
stronger as it exerts more and muscles involvement matters a lot in shaping it.
Exercise helps in improving our health and builds up our energy and stamina.

Stevenson (1998) stated that fitness as a goal of physical education refers to

the efficient development and functions of the various system of the human body
such as the nervous, circulatory, muscular, skeletal and digestive systems.
Arogbonlo, Onekata and Danladi (2001) defined physical fitness as the ability of
an individual to carry out daily tasks vigorously and alertly without undue fatigue
and with ample energy to enjoy leisure time pursuits and to meet 4 unforeseen
emergencies.

 Components of Physical Fitness

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.
Examples would be jogging, cycling and swimming.

Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would
be the bench press, leg press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to
test muscular strength.

Muscular endurance is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without

fatiguing. Examples would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines. The
sit up test is most often used to test muscular endurance.

Flexibility is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of
motion for a specific joint. Examples would be stretching individual muscles or the
ability to perform certain functional movements such as the lunge. The sit and
reach test is most often used to test flexibility.

Body composition is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone
and organs. This can be measured using underwater weighing, Skinfold readings,
and bioelectrical impedance. Underwater weighing is considered the “gold
standard” for body fat measurement, however because of the size and expense of
the equipment needed very few places are set up to do this kind of measurement.

 Safety issues and concern

Physical activity is part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle as it helps individuals to

maintain a healthy weight, is beneficial for bone and muscle health, helps with
psychological well-being and reduces the risk of certain diseases including
cancers, heart disease and diabetes. But it is important to be aware of safety
concerns that can be associated with engaging in physical activities.

Cardiovascular risk It is known that physical activity generally decreases the risk
of certain diseases, including heart disease in individuals, but cardiovascular
problems such as a heart attack or arrhythmia are some of the risks that may
arise when taking part in physical activity. While some may feel that the majority
of heart attacks happen to individuals during exercise, approximately 90% of all
heart attacks actually occur at rest and not while exercising.

Joint and mobility risk Joints of the body, including the knees and ankles, have to
bear a lot of stress from movement, especially in individuals who affected by
obesity or are overweight. The body weight of an individual, along with the
activity that they participate in, and the mechanical movement determines the
load of force on a joint.
