UNIT I – PHYSICAL FITNESS LITERACY
MODULE NO. 1 : Physical Fitness: Its Definition and Components
I. TITLE: Physical Fitness and Its Components
II. INTRODUCTION:
This module is made to explore your knowledge and skills to help you and your family engage in a
lifelong habit of physical fitness and wellness.

Today, people are not active in doing things that will make their bodies healthy because of various
reasons. One of these is the advancement of science and technology. Many of you are inactive to
participate in any fitness activities because you are focus more in your studies and if not busy,
you are interested in playing games through cellphone and computer. While we are aware of the
health benefits of doing physical activities, we take its importance just for fun and not too
serious about it. As we have said before, many of you do not engage in worthwhile physical
activities. Perhaps, this may be due to your interest, inability to do them well because of fear or
maybe of your current health condition.
` This unit starts with the basic concepts of physical fitness. How it improves your self-confidence,
develops your personality and clarifies your self-concept which can only be realized as you get
used to it. Module 1 discusses the definition and the two components of physical fitness. Module
2 is about Health – Related Fitness (HRF) on cardio-vascular endurance and flexibility, activities
to strengthen their bones & muscles. Module 3 is the continuation of HRF on body composition,
muscular strength and muscular endurance. Module 4 is about Skill – Related Fitness (SRF) on
power, balance and reaction time. Module 5 is the continuation of SRF on agility, coordination &
reaction time. Module 6 discusses managing stress and barriers to physical activity. Module 7
sets FITT Goals and Principles of Training Exercise.
On the last part of this unit, you will be required to design a Health & Skill-Related Fitness HRF/
SRF plans that will suit to the needs of your family. These plans are sets of fitness goals that
should consider in your desired fitness levels. After doing the HRF / SRF plans, you have to
evaluate its success or failure. If you think you need to make some changes to encourage your-
self and your family to continue the HRF/SRF activities for life, you may do so. It is important
to make the activities fun and enjoyable to make these exercises a lifetime habit.

Everyone wants to have a healthy and physically fit body. When you have these, you can be
productive and efficient. You can have a feeling of satisfaction and well-being.
Health and skill-related fitness activities play a significant role in the holistic development
of an individual. The choice of fitness activities will depend on a person’s understanding,
interests,
age, and the ability to do it. These activities ensure cardiovascular fitness, and therefore, help
you achieve the state of being healthy.

 Health and skill – related fitness activities are provided for you to have a better understanding of
the lessons. You will have many options in selecting the most appropriate exercises or activities
for you and your family in order to achieve a level of physical wellness. You will be expected to do
these activities correctly so be sure it is clear to you. You may ask questions if you want to clarify
some details.
FITNESS refers to the quality of being able to do a particular role or task. It covers physical well-
being, balanced mental state, emotional stability and spiritual soundness. It defines every aspect
of your health. Good eating habits and active living are essentials to fitness. A person should
strive for a high quality of life which includes being physically, mentally, emotionally, socially
and spiritually healthy!
PHYSICAL FITNESS is the ability of an individual to carry out daily tasks without undue fatigue.
Because we rely too much on technology, it could make us less fit. But, if we could let ourselves
do physical activities regularly, we can improve our physical fitness through the performance of
different exercises.
PHYSICAL FITNESS is also defined as the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor and alertness
without undue fatigue and with ample energy to enjoy leisure time and to meet
unforeseen emergencies. (Presidential Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, 1993)
