The Philippine Physical Activity Guide
In this lesson you will learn about Philippine Physical Activity
Guide and its importance to our health.
Philippine Physical Activity Pyramid is a plan that is
prepared for someone to be guided in having an active
lifestyle. It is the division of how physical activity. People just
perform activities they want to do and need to do but not what
they should perform. Being involved in regular physical
activities will give you extreme benefit on top of being
physically fit. Below is a sample of physical activity pyramid
for Grade 6 pupil like you.

1
The first partition are activities you should reduce like sitting and
texting all day, watching, games and taking escalators and elevators
instead of stairs. Not only that it slows down metabolisbut can make
also you feel languished and lazy…

The second partition are recreational activities you do during your free
time for at least two to three times a week. You can do calisthenics,
martial arts, boxing, gardening, jogging, sliding, swimming, hiking
stretching, dancing, skating and playing golf and bowling. These
activities can help you improve your muscles’ strength and flexibility

2
 Playing physical games like badminton , basketball volley ball,
soccer, football , futsal and tennis are suggested to be performed for
three to five times a week. Doing exercises like bicycling, swimming,
and brisk walking are found to facilitate active lifestyle. Playing street
games also aid in making you fit.

To build an active lifestyle, one should include physical activities

in one’s daily regimen. Walking to school, doing household chores,
cleaning the yard, washing the car, running errands and walking the
dog are some activities needed to be performed as much as possible.

Remember

It is recommended that school age pupis do 1 hour or more

moderate physical activities per day and at least 3 hours of intense
activity per we activities. To increase your physical activities’
performance, make them part of your daily routine and choose
activities that you really enjoy. By doing so you achieve their full
advantage

 LESSON 2

INDICATORS FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS

In this lesson, the Indicators for Physical Fitness are learned to

know its importance in human health. The difference of the indicators
for Physical Fitness will be discuss in order to deepen our knowledge
through different activities like sports, dancing and other daily
activities.

Let’s get started

Look at each picture.

What characteristics should an individual possess in order to

accomplish their duties? How important is this in your profession?

Go and Learn
Physical Fitness is the ability to carry out the day’s activities
without undue fatigue. It is also the ability to perform aspects of sports,

4
occupations and daily activities. It consists of two components:
health-related and skill-related.

Health-related fitness involves exercise activities that you do in

order to try to improve your physical health and stay healthy while
skill-related fitness is the ability to perform during games and sports; it
is also called performance fitness.

Health-related fitness is made up of five sections: cardiovascular

endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and
body composition. Let’s take a closer look at the five sections of
health-related fitness.

1. Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of your heart, blood

cells, and lungs to work continuously for extended periods of
time. This is how efficiently your body takes in, transports, and
uses oxygen while exercising. Having efficient heart and lungs
leads to increased energy throughout the day.

2. Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force a muscle

can produce in a single effort or how much you can lift in one
attempt. Performing exercises that use your own body weight,
free weights, or weights on a machine are excellent ways to
develop muscle strength. Having muscular strength will ensure
that you have the strength needed to lift a heavy object, for
example a box full of books.

3. Muscular endurance is your ability to contract your muscles

several times without excessive fatigue. Another way to think
about it is the length of time your muscles can continue to work

5
 before tiring. What this means is once you have picked up that
heavy box of books, you can then carry that box for a long period
of time before you need to take a break.

4. Flexibility is the range of motion that your joints have during

movement. Maintaining flexibility can improve your performance
in physical activities in addition to decreasing your risk of injuries
by helping your joints move through their full range of motion,
therefore, allowing your muscles to work most effectively.
Stretching and yoga can be done to help improve your flexibility.

5. Body composition is the ratio of water, bone, muscle, and fat in

the body. A healthy body composition indicates that you may
have less risk of developing obesity-related diseases, such as
diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some cancers.

Two of the ways to measure body composition are body mass

index, (BMI), which is a measure of body fat based on height
and weight, and the skin fold test, which measures total fat
percentages by measuring the layer of fat that is directly under
the skin.

Skill-related fitness is important for performing the more

technical aspects of many sports. There are six skill-related

physical fitness sections: agility, balance, coordination, power,

reaction time, and speed.

6
1. Agility refers to the ability to change your entire body position in
space rapidly with accuracy and speed. Sports teams use zigzag
drills to enhance agility.
2. Balance is your ability to maintain equilibrium, or control your
body's position in space. This component can further be broken
down into static balance, which is maintaining equilibrium while
not moving, and dynamic balance, which is maintaining control of
the body while moving without succumbing to gravity or
momentum. Balance is important in sports such as dance,
gymnastics, ice hockey, figure skating and other sports requiring
extreme control.
3. Coordination is a skill that recruits the senses such as sight and
hearing in conjunction with body parts to perform tasks
accurately and with efficiency of movement. It integrates the
various skill-related components of fitness into accurate and
effective movements. Juggling, hitting a baseball with a bat and
dribbling a basketball are all coordination skills. Hand-eye
coordination tests or foot-eye coordination tests are often used to
assess coordination.
4. Power is the ability to exert maximum force in a quick, explosive
burst. It is a function of the amount of work performed per unit of
time. The shot put, a tennis serves, a sprint start, a basketball
dunk, and a baseball pitch all exhibit power. The jump height test
is one assessment used to test power.
5. Speed is the ability to perform a movement in a short period of
time. Reaction time is a subcomponent of speed and refers to the
time it takes for the neuromuscular system to produce movement

7
from stimulus to reaction. Moving your foot from the accelerator
to the brake is an example of reaction time. Combined, speed
and reaction time equate to total response time, which is the time
it takes from stimulus to completion of a movement. Speed and
reaction times are thought to be greatly influenced by genetics.

Nature / Background of the Game Batuhang Bola,

Tumbang Preso and Kick Ball

In this lesson you will learn the nature/background of Tumbang

Preso, Batuhang Bola ,Kick ball.

Lets do the Action song with the tune ( Bingo)

A merry race
(Run on the spot, or in short 'race')
And then we will STOP!
Ev'ryone, stay in place!
(Everyone freeze in place)

13
Lets read the following then do group activity.

Group 1: TumbangPreso

Tumbang-Preso is a native game of the Philippines that’s a

favorite of Filipino children. The word tumba means “to fall” and preso
means “prisoner.”To play tumbang -preso, you’ll need an empty lata
(can) to serve as the center of the game and tsinelas (slippers or
flip-flops) to hit the can with. five to ten children play with one chosen to
be taya (“it”)

The object of the game is to make the can fall to its side and
retrieve the thrown slipper before the “it” stands the can back
up.Tumbang preso ("knock down the prisoner"), also known as
'tumbalata ("knock down the can") or bato lata ("hit the can [with a
stone]"), is a traditional Filipino children's game. It is usually played in
backyards, parks, or in streets when there is little vehicular traffic.

14
 Tumbang Preso is a street game usually played in the
Philippines. It takes elements from tag and dodge ball to teach kids.

Tumbang Preso is a popular street game in the Philippines

that has been played by children for decades. The game is also
known as presohan.

Group 2: Batuhang Bola

Batuhang bola is a game in which players on two teams try to

throw balls at each other while avoiding being hit themselves

A game where two teams try to hit the opposing team with a
ball thrown from two sides, a point is granted with every hit on the
oppossing player....
Batuhang bola. Filipino version of dodge ball . A street game
where kids (even adults) play at any time of the day.
While these games are recreational in nature, they are also
used to test leisure involvement, and with the ethnicity and socio

15
economic background of. I Sometimes perform well in games like sipa,
patintero, and batuhang bola.

HOW TO PLAY BATUHANG BOLA

There are many variations of the game, but generally the main

objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing

team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by a

member of the opposing team, or forcing them to move outside the
court boundaries when a ball is thrown at them.

Group 3: Kickball

Kickball is a game and league game, similar to baseball

invented in the United Kingdom. As in baseball, one team tries to score
by having its players return a ball from home base to the field and then
circle the bases; while the other team tries to stop them by tagging

16
them "out" with the ball before they can return to the home base.
Instead of hitting a small, hard ball with a bat, players kick an inflated
rubber ball; this makes it more accessible to young children and
Americans. As in baseball, teams alternate half-innings. The team with
the most runs after a predefined number of innings wins.

Kickball is a popular playground game and is typically played among

young, school-age children]The lack of both specialized equipment
and highly skill-based positions (like pitcher) makes the game an
accessible introduction to other sports. It is just as popular among
adults, who are more commonly known to play similar games like
softball and baseball

"The game seems to afford equal enjoyment to the children and

it gives a better understanding of the national game (Baseball), and at
the same time affords them an exercise that is not too violent and is full
of fun."

Kickball, originally called "Kick Baseball", was invented as

early as 917 by Nicholas C Seuss, Supervisor of Cincinnati Park
Playgrounds in Cincinnati, Ohio. Seuss submitted his first documented
overview of the game which included 12 rules and a field diagram in
The Playground Book, published in 1917.

HOW TO PLAY KICKBALL

Choose which team will get the ball first. The other team will have to
take the field while choosing defensive positions. ...

Choose an offensive lineup. ...

17
Roll the ball. ...

Kick the ball. ...

Switch sides after three outs. ...

Determine the winner at the end, based on the number of runs.

Group Activity.

• Group yourselves into 3 Each group will take turn in

giving words used in playing Tumbang Preso, Batuhang
Bola and Kickball.
• A 5-second time limit will be allotted to each group.
• Failure to do so, will mean a score to other group.
