Body Composition muscle : fat Heart disease, stroke, or diabetes Weight is not a good indicator of body composition Needs cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and a healthy diet to reduce body fats and increase muscle mass
Cardiovascular endurance Ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. Strong heart that results in a lower heart rate Measure through step in and off a 10 to 12- inches high step, and take the heart rate after 3-5 minutes Walking, swimming and running can be done also Regular aerobic exercise is the best way
Muscular Strength Maximum push or pull that one of your muscle groups exert one time. Use in lifting, throwing, hanging, swinging, and climbing Preventing injuries and maintaining posture Makes tendons, ligaments, and bones strong Involves using your weight in physical activities (jumping)
Muscular Endurance Repeat the same movement, hold a position, or carry for a long period without getting tired Same activities with promoting muscular strength Marathon running, long-distance cycling, and triathlon competitions
Flexibility Ability to move joints and use muscles through their full potential Stretch and put something on a high shelf, bend to tie a shoelace, and sit cross-legged in pain Sit and reach – lower back and back of upper legs Have a gentle stretching

Am I Physically Fit?
I. Aerobics Refers to the maximum rate at which oxygen is taken and used by the body during exercise. Pacer, One-Mile Run, and Walk Test can assess someone’s cardiorespiratory system capacity.
Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) Alternative to distance run. Run going back and forth across 15-meter to 20-meter distance.
One-Mile Run Walk or run a distance of one mile at the fastest pace possible.
Walk Test Walk a distance mile as quickly as possible while maintaining a constant pace.
II. Body Composition Skinfold Measurement Body Mass Index
Skinfold Measurement Use a skinfold caliper to measure the skinfold on the triceps and calf.
Body Mass Index (BMI)
III. Abdominal Strength and Endurance Curl-up
Curl-Up One second down, one second up Maximum for men is 50 while for women, 40
IV. Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility Trunk Lift
Trunk Lift The goal is to lift the body 12 inches or 30 centimeters from the floor.
V. Upper Body Strength and Endurance Push-ups Modified Pull-up Flexed Arm
Push-ups As many push-ups as possible at a specific pace. Bend elbows until arms are at the right angle (90 degrees). Maximum of 50 for boys and 30 for girls. 1 second up, 1 second down
Modified Pull-Up As many pull-ups as possible at a specific pace. Lie back directly under the bar Grasp the bar to pull up until chin reaches a specific level
Flexed Arm Hang by the arms with chin above the bar for as long as possible.
VI. Flexibility Sit and Reach Shoulder Reach
Sit and Reach Assess the flexibility of lower back and posterior thigh Attach tape measure on the floor starting with 0.1 centimeter. Mark 50 th centimeter. L leg bent
Shoulder Reach Put left hand in over left shoulder to touch the fingers of right hand Repeat to the other side
QUIZ Direction: Tell whether True or False. Write the word “True” if the statement is True and write “False” if the statement is false.
QUIZ Muscular strength is the minimum push that one of your muscle groups exerts one time. Flexibility is the ability to move joints and use muscles to their full potential. Curl-up is a good instrument to know the abdominal strength and endurance of someone. The formula for getting the BMI is m 2 /kg. In trunk lift, the goal is to lift your upper body a maximum of 12 inches from the floor.
