Food Fuels for Energy


1. Carbohydrates (CHO) – preferred source of fuel during exercise (glycogen)
2. Fat – concentrated fuel used during rest and prolonged sub0maximal exercise
3. Protein – used for growth and repair (negligible use during exercise)

Energy is the ability or capacity to do work and is measured in calories or joules.

There are three energy systems:


1. ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate – an organic compound that provides energy to drive
many processes in living cells such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation.
2. Glycolytic System – the breakdown (lysis) of glucose and consists of a series of
chemical reactions that are controlled by enzymes
3. Oxidative System – also known as Krebs Cycle and the citric acid cycle. In this system,
carbohydrates and fats are the primary energy sources converted into ATP and this
process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.
If we have enough oxygen present in the blood, then pyruvate, the end product of
glycolysis, is shuttled to the mitochondria and we enter the oxidative energy system.

Training long, slow distance can help us build an


aerobic base and help strengthen this oxidative
system by increasing your VO2 max, which is our
ability to utilize the oxygen we take in.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic

Aerobic exercise is any type of cardiovascular conditioning or “cardio”. During the


cardiovascular conditioning, your breathing and heart rate increase for a sustained period of
time. Oxygen is your main energy source during aerobic workouts, therefore Oxidative System
energy is used.

Benefits of Aerobic Exercises:


 Reduce risk of heart attack
 Reduce risk of type 2 diabetes
 Recue risk of stroke
 Help lose weight and keep it off
 Help lower and control blood pressure
 Increase stamina and reduce fatigue during exercise
 Activates immune systems, making you less likely to get colds or flu
 Strengthens the heart
 Boosts mood
 Help you live longer than those who doesn’t exercise

Anaerobic exercises involve quick burst of energy and are performed at maximum effort for a
short time. The energy system used are the ATP and Glycolytic System.

Benefits of Anaerobic Exercises:


 Build muscles
 Lose weight
 Maintain muscle mass as you age
 Strengthens bones
 Burns fat
 Increase stamina for daily activities like hiking, dancing or playing

Note to Teachers: Read the following instructions to the learners as part of the psychosocial
activity at the same time a sample activity for anaerobic activity. Prepare a solemn music
background for this activity.

DANCE as Stress Reliever


People from different places enjoy dancing such as in schools, social venues, community
halls, our own home and even in social media through vlogs and tiktok. Dancing has become
popular way to be active and a healthy exercise program. Here are some reasons why dancing is
a popular stress reliever:

1. When the body feels good, the mind does too! The scientific reason for why dance
has the ability to act a stress reliever stems from the idea that when the body feels good,
the mind does, too. Any type of physical activity releases neurotransmitters and
endorphins which serve to alleviate stress. Endorphins are body’s natural pain killer to
reduce stress and improve the mind’s perception of the world. It cause the body to feel
calm and optimistic. It also aids in improving the quality of sleep, so that a few sleepless
nights due to stress can be avoided after dancing!

2. Dance offers a creative outlet for people to express their personalities in a safe
environment. Dancing offers an outlet for people to express who they are – through
music, movements or even costumes! Dancing helps you connect to whom who you
really are.

3. Dancing improves your physical health. From weight loss, to increased flexibility,
stronger bones and building muscle tone, dancing is a total body workout.

Introduction to Dance

The fundamental principle that dance is an art form or activity that utilizes the body and
the range of movement of which the body is capable. Unlike the movements performed in
everyday living, dance movements are not directly related to work, travel, or survival. Dance
may, of course, be made up of movements associated with these activities, as in the work
dances common to many cultures, and it may even accompany such activities.

But even in the most practical dances, movements that make up the dance are not reducible to
those of straightforward labor; rather, they involve some extra qualities such as self-
expression, aesthetic pleasure, and entertainment.

One of the most basic motives of dance is the expression and communication of emotion.
People—and even certain higher animals—often dance as a way of releasing powerful feelings,
such as sudden accesses of high spirits, joy, impatience, or anger. These motive forces can be
seen not only in the spontaneous skipping, stamping, and jumping movements often performed
in moments of intense emotion, but also in the more formalized movements of “set” dances, such
as tribal war dances or festive folk dances. 

Dance Genre:

1. Folk Dance - a dance developed by people that reflect the life of the people of a certain
country or region. (Wikipedia)
2. Modern Dance - a broad genre of western concert or theatrical dance, primarily arising
out of Germany and the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is often
considered to have emerged as a rejection of or rebellion against, classical ballet.
(Wikipedia)
3. Ballroom Dance – a set of partner dance enjoyed socially and competitively around the
world. With the emergence of dance competition, it is now known as Dancesports.
(Wikipedia)
4. Hip-hop Dance – also known as street dance styles primarily to hip-hop music or that
have evolved as part of hip-hop culture. (Wikipedia)

Sets FITT Goals

Now that you have record the result of your physical fitness test, you have then
determined your strengths and weaknesses. With that fact, you are now ready to create your
fitness plan. Let us try to use FITT Principle to achieve this health goals.

The FITT Principle (or formula) is a great way of monitoring your exercise program. The key
components or training guidelines for an effective exercise program is spelled out with the
acronym FITT
F – frequency – refers to the repetition of exercise undertaken or how often you
exercise
I – intensity – refers to the amount of energy the exercise required or how hard you
exercise
T – time – refers to the number of minutes or hours you spend exercising or how
long you exercise
T – type – refers to the type of exercise undertaken or what kind of exercise you do

Try to identify the what principle of FITT the statement refers to. Write if it is frequency,
intensity time or type.

_______________1. Adjust the number of times you exercise per day/week/month to reflect:
your current fitness level; the time you realistically have available; your
other commitments like family and work; and the goals you’ve set for
yourself.
_______________2. It refers to the dedication to exercise usually depends on the type of
exercise undertaken
_______________3. The factor that refers to the monitoring of heart rate.

_______________4. The kind of exercise you choose will have a big effect on the result you
achieve. That’s why it’s important to know what you want to gain form
your efforts.

1. Overload Principle – the body adapt to stimulus, once the body has accepted then a
different stimulus is required to continue the change. In order for the muscle
(including the heart) to increase strength, it must be gradually stressed by working
against a load greater than it is used to.
2. Progressive Principle – means the body adapts to the initial overload, the overload
must be adjusted and increase gradually.
3. Recovery Principle – adaptation to physical activity occurs gradually and naturally,
but time must be allowed for the regenerate and build.
4. Reversibility Principle – all gains due to exercise will be lost if one does not
continue to exercise
5. Specificity Principle – training should be relevant and appropriate to the individuals
need in order to produce effective result
6. Variation Principle – training programs varies in intensity, duration, volume and
other important aspects of practice

Common questions

Powered by AI

During the COVID-19 pandemic, dance offers a versatile means of staying active. Recreationally, it can be practiced alone at home, allowing for physical exercise that is not restricted by weather or the need for special equipment. Competitively, online platforms have facilitated dance contests and shared performances, encouraging continued skill development and community interaction. Both settings promote physical health by improving cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone, and mental well-being .

Dancing releases endorphins, promoting feelings of happiness and calmness, and improves mood through physical activity. It also provides a creative outlet, allowing expression and connection with personal and cultural identity, which can enhance self-esteem and self-awareness. These benefits can be leveraged to improve mental health by using dance as a form of meditation and stress relief, especially in times of anxiety or depression .

Traditional dance forms preserve cultural heritage by retaining steps and music that tell stories and reflect communal life. Modern dance encourages innovation by allowing personal and cultural expression to adapt over time, often responding to contemporary issues or emotions. Together, these dance forms balance the preservation of tradition with the innovation necessary for a dynamic and evolving dance community, celebrating diversity and shared histories .

The FITT principles—frequency, intensity, time, and type—offer a framework to optimize exercise by ensuring that goals are measurable and achievable. In dance, frequency could refer to how often dance sessions occur, intensity to the effort level required by different dance styles, time to the duration of each session, and type to the genre or specific dance form being practiced. This structured approach can help individuals achieve better fitness outcomes through dance .

Barriers to physical activity include lack of time, energy, willpower, and fear of injury. Addressing these may involve setting SMART goals to manage time, finding supportive social environments to boost energy and motivation, and selecting dance styles that match personal skills to mitigate injury risk. Adaptive strategies may include time management techniques and finding affordable resources to make dance an accessible and enjoyable exercise option .

Dance has unique stress management potential due to its ability to release endorphins and foster expression through movement, which can be more engaging than repetitive activities like jogging. Unlike traditional exercises, dance often occurs in a social context, enhancing emotional connections and allowing for expressive freedom, which can significantly alleviate stress levels compared to more isolated or monotonous forms of exercise .

Energy optimization in dance involves using various dance genres to engage different energy systems, such as aerobic for sustained efforts and anaerobic for short bursts, enhancing overall fitness. Unlike traditional exercise that targets specific outcomes like strength or endurance separately, dance combines these elements, offering holistic benefits like improved coordination, cardiovascular health, and stress reduction simultaneously .

Dancing serves as a stress reliever by releasing endorphins and neurotransmitters during physical activity, which help reduce stress. These chemicals act as natural painkillers and improve mood by promoting calmness and optimism, which can also enhance sleep quality and overall well-being .

The document mentions genres like folk dance, modern dance, ballroom dance, and hip-hop dance. Folk dances reflect the life and traditions of a country or region. Modern dance emerged as a rebellion against classical ballet, focusing on expressing emotion and creativity. Ballroom dance includes structured partner dances and is popular in social and competitive settings. Hip-hop dance is rooted in street styles and hip-hop culture, allowing for personal and cultural expression .

The glycolytic energy system breaks down carbohydrates for energy use in activities lasting approximately 1 to 2 minutes without requiring oxygen. This system is ideal for anaerobic dance, which involves short bursts of intense movement. Engaging this system helps build muscle, maintain muscle mass, and burn fat, contributing to improved body composition as part of a dance routine .
