Physical Education & Health Lecture Review

These flashcards cover key lecture concepts: lifestyle management, energy balance, weight control, the food pyramid, non-communicable diseases, components and tests of health- and skill-related fitness, BMI categories, and consumer health literacy.

What is meant by “lifestyle” in physical education?

The way an individual lives, including typical behavior patterns such as daily routines, sleeping, eating, exercise habits, and more.

What does managing one’s lifestyle primarily involve?

Making modifications in routines—especially in areas that increase or reduce health risks, such as food choices, physical activity, and eating habits.

Name three modifiable aspects of lifestyle that affect health risk.

Food choice, physical activity level, and eating habits.

Define energy expenditure.

The amount of energy you spend through physical activity.

Define energy consumption.

The amount of energy you take in through food.

When does weight gain occur in terms of energy balance?

When energy consumed is greater than energy expended (more food intake, less physical exertion).

When does weight loss occur in terms of energy balance?

When energy consumed is less than energy expended (more physical exertion, less food intake).

What state exists when energy consumed equals energy expended?

Weight maintenance.

Which Philippine institution issues nutritional recommendations such as the Food Pyramid?

FNRI – Food and Nutrition Research Institute.

List the five major food groups in the Healthy Food Pyramid from base to top.

(1) Bread, cereals & potatoes; (2) Fruit & vegetables; (3) Milk, cheese & dairy; (4) Meat, fish & alternatives; (5) Fats, oils & confectionery.

What are non-communicable diseases (NCDs)?

Diseases that cannot be transmitted from person to person but account for more than 36 million deaths each year.

Identify the four main types of non-communicable diseases.

Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes.

Define health-related physical fitness.

The ability to become and stay physically healthy, focusing on factors that promote optimum health and prevent disease.

What does cardiovascular fitness measure?

The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to muscles for an extended period.

Give one common test used for cardiovascular fitness.

Three-minute step test.

Differentiate muscular strength from muscular endurance.

Muscular strength is the maximum force a muscle can exert; muscular endurance is the ability of the muscle to continue exerting force over time.

Provide two tests that measure muscular strength and endurance.

Push-up test and basic plank exercise.

What is flexibility?

The ability to move a body part through a full range of motion at a joint.

Name two flexibility assessments.

Sit-and-Reach test and Zipper test.

Define body composition.

The ratio of body fat to lean body mass (water, bones, muscles, connective tissues).

Write the formula for Body Mass Index (BMI).

BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m)².

What BMI range classifies an adult as ‘normal’ weight?

18.6 – 24.9.

What BMI classification corresponds to a BMI above 30?

Obese.

What is skill-related physical fitness aimed at?

Enhancing performance in athletic or sports events by improving sport-specific abilities.

Define ‘power’ in a skill-related context.

The ability of a muscle to transfer energy and release maximum force rapidly.

Which field test commonly measures power?

Standing Long Jump test.

How is ‘speed’ defined in physical fitness?

The ability to move all or part of the body as quickly as possible.

What test measures speed over a short distance?

40-meter sprint test.

Define agility.

The ability to change direction quickly while maintaining control of the whole body.

Provide a field test for agility.

Hexagon Jump test.

What is reaction time?

The amount of time it takes to respond to a stimulus.

Which test assesses reaction time using a falling object?

Stick Drop test.

List the three components of consumer health.

Health information, health products, and health services.

What qualifies a piece of health information as reliable?

It comes from licensed professionals, accredited health books, or reputable online sources and is supported by scientific evidence.
