2. LEGAL BASES OF
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Article 1 of the International Charter of Physical Education and
Sports, UNESCO, Paris, 1978 and Recommendation 1,
Interdisciplinary Regional Meeting of Experts on Physical
Education, UNESCO, Brisbane Australia, 1982. States that:

Fitness, on the other hand, is defined as a set of attributes that
people have or achieve that relates to the ability to perform
physical activity. Fitness is made up of many components, and
the following factors need to be considered when discussing
fitness levels:

7. HEALTH RELATED FITNESS
1. Endurance ( Cardiovascular and Cardio – Respiratory):
This is your body’s ability to use and deliver oxygen to your
body.
2. Stamina ( Muscular endurance ): This is your body’s ability
to store, process, and use energy.
3. Strength. This is the ability of your muscles or a muscular
unit to apply force.
4. Flexibility: The ability to maximize the range of motion of a
joint.

8. SKILL-RELATED COMPONENTS
5. Power: The ability of your muscles to maximize their force in a
minimum amount of time.
6. Speed : The ability to minimize the amount of time it takes you to
accomplish a task or a movement.
7. Coordination: The ability to combine several different movement
patterns in a single distinct movement.
8. Accuracy: The ability to control a movement in a given direction or
intensity.
9. Agility: The ability to minimize the time going from one movement
to another.
10. Balance: The ability to control the center of gravity of your body in
relation to your support base.

9. IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS
Through regular exercises, physical fitness helps individual:
* In the proper growth of young bones and muscles.
• Improve the ability to avoid and recover from illnesses and
accidents.
• Improve posture and appearance by strengthening muscles
that support the body.
• Minimize stress response
• Maintain proper body weight.

10. IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL
FITNESS
• Prevent heart ailment
• Improve organic functions.
• Delay the aging process
• Feel good and younger as a human being , and
• Experience joy of participation in any recreational or sports
activities

11. HEALTH RELATED
COMPONENTS
1. Cardio- Respiratory endurance- the ability of the heart and
lungs to function efficiently and effectively over a prolonged
period of time.
2. Muscular strength – the ability of muscle group to contract
against a resistance.
3. Muscular endurance – the ability to continue selected muscle
group movements for a prolonged period of time.
4. Flexibility – the functional capacity of a joint to move through
a normal range of motion. The muscular system is also
involved.

12. HEALTH RELATED
FITNESS
5. Body composition- one of the newer attributes in physical
fitness components. It refers to the relative distribution of lean
and fact body tissues.

13. SKILL – RELATED FITNESS
1. Balance – it involves vision, reflexes, and skeletal muscular
system which provides the maintenance of equilibrium.
2. Coordination – it is the ability to integrate the senses with
muscles so as to produce accurate, smooth and harmonious
body movement.
3. Agility – it is the capacity to change the direction of body
quickly and effectively.
4. Speed – it is the ability to move one’s body from one point to
another in a shortest possible time.

14. SKILL – RELATED FITNESS
5. Power – power is sometimes confused with strength, speed of
contraction, likewise, is the basic ingredient which, when
combine with strength, provides an explosive type of movement.
6. Reaction time- the time required to respond or initiate a
movement as a result of a given stimulus.

15. PHYSICAL BATTERY TEST FITNESS

16. BODY MASS INDEX
It is a measure of body fat based on your weight in relation to your
height. It is more of an indicator than a direct measurement of a person’s
total body fat. As the BMI score increases, so does the person’s total body
fat increases.
How to calculate Body Mass Index? Body Mass Index is a simple
calculation using a person’s height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m2
where kg is a person’s weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in
metres squared. A BMI of 25.0 or more is overweight, while the healthy
range is 18.5 to 24.9.

17. Formula –
Example: For an adult with height of 180 cm and weight of
75kg.
First step is to convert the height into meters. As there are 100cm
in a meter, we divide our figure by 100. This gives us 1.8m.
BMI= 75 ( 1.8 X 1.8 )
BMI= 75 3.24
BMI = 23.15

18. CATEGORIES OF BMI
Weight Status Body Mass Index kg/m2
under weight < 18.5
Normal range 18.5 – 24.9
Over weight 25.0 – 29.9
Obese > 30
Obese class – 1 30.0 – 34.9
Obese class – 2 35.0 – 39.9
Obese class – 3 > 40

19. • Example:
My height is 1.50 m,I need to multiply my height itself
1.50 x 1.50=2.25
my weight is 55 kg.
BMI=weight/height
=55/2.25
=24
Normal

20. HOW A FITNESS IS
PERFORMED ?
A fitness test, also known as a fitness assessment is
comprised of a series of exercises that help evaluate your overall
health and physical status.
1. General Health Evaluation
2. Body Composition testing
3. Cardiovascular Endurance Testing
4. Strength and Endurance Testing
5. Flexibility testing
