PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Physical Fitness

• a combination of medical fitness (body soundness) and dynamic fitness (capacity for action).

• ·         Ability of an individual to perform one’s daily activities efficiently without undue fatigue, reduce the risk of health problems and with extra “reserve” in case of emergency.

Leisure time

the amount of time that is left after the daily routine activities of an individual have been accomplished.

Recreation

·               refers to any activity that is participated in by the individual during leisure time on voluntary basic because it provide an immediate satisfaction of the individual.

ORGANIC VIGOR

  refers to the soundness of the heart and lungs which contribute to the ability to resists disease.

ENDURANCE

the ability to  sustain long continued contractions where a number of muscle groups are use; the capcity to beat or last long in a certain task without undue fatigue.

STRENGTH

is the capacity to sustain the application of force without yielding or breaking

FLEXIBILITY

  is the quality of pasticity, which gives the ability to do a wide range of movement.

AGILITY

is the ability of the individual to change direction or position in space with quickness and lightness of movement while maintining dynamic balance.

BALANCE

is the ability to control organic equipment neuro muscularly

SPEED

   ability to make successive movements of the same kind in the shortest period of time

COORDINATION

the ability to integrate the body parts to produce smooth motion

HEALTH RELATED FITNESS

a function of body’s adaptation to exercise

 

Muscular Strength

ability of the muscle to exert maximum effort in brief duration.

Isotonic Contractions

are voluntary contractions in which muscles shorten and lengthen alternately.

Concentric Contraction

refers to muscles that shorten during exercise.

Eccentric Contraction

refers to the muscle that lengthens during an exercise.

Isometric Contractions

another type of contractions in which the muscles are contracted against an immovable resistance.

Isokinetic Contractions

similar to isotonic contractions but the muscles are exposed to fixed machines with variable degrees of resistance.

Muscular Endurance

ability of the muscle to endure a sub maximal effort for a prolonged period of time.ability of the muscle to endure a sub maximal effort for a prolonged period of time.

Cardiovascular Endurance

ability of the heart, blood vessels and lungs to adapt to physical exertion for a prolonged duration.

Flexibility

  ability of the muscles and joints to go through a full range motion.

Flexion

bending of a body segment

Extension

straightening a body segment

Abduction

moving a lim away from the body

Adduction

moving a limb toward the body.

Ballistic Stretching

uses muscle contractions to force muscle elongation bobbing movement quickly elongates the muscle with each repetition.

Static Stretching

slowly stretching a segment of the body to the farthers point and holding that position for at least 15- 30 seconds.

Dynamic Stretching

use of a muscle’s own force production and the body’s momentum to take a joint through full available range of motion.

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)

involves the contact relax approach to stretching.

Body Composition

proportion of lean body mass to fat body mass.

Somatotyping or Body Typing

system of classifying an individual according to the shape of the body.

Ectomorph

lean and small body build with greater surface to mass ratio.

Mesomorph

relative predominance of muscles. Bones are usually large and heavy with massive limbs

Endomorph

predominance of soft roundness and large digestive viscera.

Balance

ability to maintain equilibrium in relation to changes in body position.

Coordination

harmonious working relationship between the skeletal muscle and nerves in one aspect movement

Agility

is the ability of an individual to quickly shift or change direction

Speed

   ability to perform a task or move from one point to another in the shortes possible time.

Power

perform one maximum effort in a short period of time.
