IV. ACTIVITIES:

Fitness plays a very crucial role in our existence as human beings. It is a sustaining base of our physicality
that allows us to overcome challenges of our daily living. It is with fitness that our eagerness to do things
that we are capable of doing physically arise, which eventually leads us in making out own lives, including
that of others, better and more productive. We tend to challenge ourselves to go beyond what we are
already capable of doing and strive further to influence others with what we think is better. Coupled with our
desire to better ourselves is our urge to share it with our fellowmen.

Festival dances are cultural dances performed to the strong beats of percussion instruments by a
community of people sharing the same culture usually done in honor of a Patron Saint or in thanksgiving of
a bountiful harvest. Festival dances may be religious or secular in nature. But the best thing about festivals
is that they add to the merry-making and festivities where they are celebrated, the reason why they are
called festival dances after all. Festival dances draw the people’s culture by portraying the people’s ways of
life through movements, costumes and implements inherent to their place of origin.

Some of the famous festivals in the country include Sinulog of Cebu, Dinagyang of Iloilo, Ati-atihan of
Kalibo, Aklan, Buyogan and Lingayan of Leyte, Bangus of Dagupan, T’nalak of South Cotabato, Masskara
of Bacolod City, Bambanti of Isabela, and Kadayawan of Davao. Many others, especially from Luzon, are
now paving their way to join the country’s festival of festivals, the Aliwan Fiesta which is done in the month
of April. Filipinos do festivals primarily to celebrate. There are a multitude of reasons for this reason. We
celebrate our unity amidst the diversity of cultures and we celebrate our industry bringing about a bountiful
harvest. Festivals have been a consistent crowd-producing activity leading to upliftment of a community’s
economy due to its tourism and entertainment value. Basically, festivals are a form of entertainment that
attracts foreign and domestic tourists to visit a place eventually leading to the elevation of the Filipino’s
quality of life.

Whatever festival we celebrate, be it done to honor a religious icon or celebrate our industry. Festival
dances reflect the unity of the Filipino community that despite the economic, social, environmental, cultural
and political challenges we face every day, there can be no other race more resilient than ours.

BASIC MOVEMENTS OF FESTIVAL DANCE

LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS
These are movements that allow you to move from one point in space to another. It is canned from two
words, “locos” which means place and “motor” which means movement. They include the following:

Preparatory movement:
Step - This is the basis of all locomotor movements. It prepares you to move in any direction you wish to
go. It is defined as transfer of weight from one foot to the other. Try one! Stand with your weight
equally distributed to both of your feet. Now, let your right foot carry it all. You got it! That’s what you
call a step.
Walk - Series of steps executed by both of your feet alternately in any direction. In executing a walk,
observe that there’s this moment when both feet are in contact with the ground while one foot
supports the weight and transfers it to the other.
Run - Series of walks executed quickly in any direction wherein only one-foot stays on the ground while the
other is off the ground.
Jump - This movement is simply described by having both feet lose its contact with the ground.There five
ways to do it:
1. Take off from one foot and land on the same;
2. Take off from one foot and land on the other;
3. Take off from one foot and land on both feet;
4. Take off from both feet and land on one foot; and
5. Take off from both feet and land on both.

NON-LOCOMOTOR MOVEMENTS
These are movements that are performed in one point in space without transferring to another point. They
don’t allow you to move from one place to the other. These movements include:
Flexion - It is the act of decreasing the angle of a joint. Another term for flexion is to bend. If you bend a
joint, like your elbow or knee, you are performing flexion.
Extension - This is the opposite of flexion. You are extending if you are increasing the angle of a joint.
Stretching is another word for extension.

Page 2 of 8
Contraction - A muscle movement done when it shortens, narrows and tightens using sufficient amount of
energy in the execution.
Release - A muscle movement opposite to contraction done when it let goes or let loses of being held into
a shortening movement.
Collapse - To deliberately drop the exertion of energy into a body segment.
Recover - The opposite of collapse. This is to regain the energy exerted into a body segment.
Rotation - To rotate is to move a body segment allowing it to complete a circle with its motion. It’s not only
limited to circumduction which is done in ball and socket joints. Rotation can also be done in wrists,
waist, knees and ankles.
Twist - To move a body segment from an axis halfway front or back or quarter to the right or left as in the
twisting of the neck allowing the head to face right or left and the like.
Pivot - To change the position of the feet or any body part that carries the body’s weight allowing the body
to face in a less than 360 degrees turn.
Turn - To move in a turning movement with a base of support, usually a pointed foot, the other raised,
while equilibrium is maintained until the completion of the turn.

Maintaining, losing and gaining weight

By large, all basic food nutrients mentioned in table 3 are important in the study of fitness. The amount and
kind of food that an individual consumes on a regular basis also serve as good indicator of health and
fitness. With regard to maintenance of appropriate weight, a well-balanced diet and a regular exercise
program are still the best fundamentally sound approaches to achieve general fitness.
So far, the safest and most acceptable method of losing weight is to engage oneself in vigorous
aerobic activities together with a well-planned diet. Administration of diet pills, herbal medicines and other
fad methods appear to be less effective and sometimes unhealthy especially if weight loss is associated
with increased daily bowel movement or dehydration due to excessive perspiration with very minimal or
total absence of physical activity.
On the other hand, on gaining weight, it has been found that the most effective approach is for one
to engage in weight resistance training together with a well-designed diet program. The popular belief that
one has to overheat in order to gain weight may be partially correct but with regard to health and fitness,
this approach may not be totally acceptable. Any excess in calories that are not burned through physical
activity is stored in the body and=are later transformed into fat. As mentioned earlier, the risk of CAD
(coronary artery diseases) and CHD (coronary heart diseases) is greater if this happens. In terms of weight
resistance training, muscle mass has a greater weight advantage that stored fat. Thus, developing the
muscles of the body will provide greater increase in body weight and the risk of contracting common
degenerative diseases is also minimized.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TABLE
Activity Energy Requirement
Bed rest 27.5
Sedentary 30.0
Light 35.0
Moderate 40.0
Heavy 45.0

Computing for one’s Total Energy Requirement (TER)

Formula: DBW (Desirable Body Weight) x Physical Activity
Page 3 of 8
 (Refer to the table above for energy requirement/activity)
Example: DBW = 59 kg. /athlete = Heavy physical activity
Thus, 59.0 x 45.0 (Energy requirement) = 2655 or 2,700 Calories
How to come up with the DBW (Desirable Body Weight)? Here’s how:
1. Obtain your height in centimeters. Note that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.
2. DBW in kilogram is obtained by subtracting one’s height from a constant factor 100.
3. DBW for Filipinos or DBW-F is adjusted by subtracting 10% of the obtained DBW value in item number
2 above.
For example:
Height: 5’2” = 62 inches
62” x 2.54 centimeters. = 157.48 - 100
= 57.48 - 5.74 DBW in kg.
51.74 Or 52 DBW-F in kg.
