the leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and
diabetes (WHO, 2018). PE also encourages students to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, such as
proper nutrition and regular exercise, which can have lifelong benefits for their health (Dobbins
et al., 2013).
2. Physical education enhances social and emotional development. Participation in PE can
promote socialization and teamwork among students (Hardman et al., 2009). PE can improve
students’ self-esteem and self-confidence, which can positively impact their mental health and well-
being (Hallal et al., 2012).

4. Physical education promotes lifelong physical activity. By
participating in PE, students develop skills and knowledge that
they can carry with them into adulthood. This can help to promote
lifelong physical activity,.(US Department of Health and Human
Services, 2018).

What is Physical Fitness?
Physical fitness is considered a measure of the body’s ability to function efficiently and
effectively during work and leisure activities. In order to remain physically fit and healthy, we
need to engage ourselves in physical activities and take measures for physically fit.

involves the contraction of skeletal muscles. It can include various types of activities such as
occupational tasks, sports, conditioning exercises, household chores, and other forms of physical
movement.
Exercise, in contrast, is a specific type of physical activity that is planned, structured, and
repetitive with the goal of improving or maintaining physical fitness. It is a type of physical activity
that is focused on achieving specific fitness goals.

Flexibility, Agility, Balance, & Coordination
1. Cardiovascular Endurance
This refers to the ability of the cardiovascular system (heart, lungs, and blood
vessels) to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles during sustained
physical activity. Cardio respiratory fitness is related to the ability to perform
moderate to high intensity exercise for prolonged periods.
2. Muscular Endurance
Muscular endurance refers to the capacity of a muscle or group of muscles to
sustain repeated contractions or sustain a prolonged activity over a period of
time.
20. PHYSICAL EDUCATION 1 Topic 4 :Improving Physical Fitness: Strength,
Flexibility, Agility, Balance, & Coordination
3. Muscular Strength
The maximum force that a muscle or group of muscles can generate against
resistance is referred to as muscular strength. It is essential for activities that
require lifting, pushing, or carrying heavy objects.
4. Flexibility
Flexibility is the range of motion around a joint. The ability of muscles, tendons,
and ligaments to stretch and facilitate proper movement is a crucial aspect of this
process.
5. Body Composition

Power is a component of physical fitness that represents the ability to generate
maximum force in a short period. It combines strength and speed to produce
explosive movements.
7. Agility
Agility is the ability to quickly change direction or move the body efficiently in
response to external stimuli.
8. Speed
Speed refers to the ability to perform a movement in a short period of time. The
speed and strength will give you power and force.
