Ensure
the
safety
of
the
participants
through
1. Identication
of
the
individuals
for
whom
physical

is
not
appropriate;
and
2. Highlight
the
persons
who

prior
to
the
participation
in
any
physical
activity.
Physical

Pre-tes?ng
Consists
of
a
range
of
tests
to
evaluate
the
individuals
level
of
physical
tness.
Can
be
used
as
a
reference
for
the
creation
of
an
individualized
physical

program.

This
incorporates
the

for
the
students
who
undergone
the
physical

pre-testing.
The
physical
activities
will
center
on
improving
the
components
of
the
health-
and
skills-related
parameters
so
that
the
results
of
the
students
during
the
Physical

Post-testing
will
have
a
signicant
dierence.
Physical Activity
It
is
referred
to
as
any
bodily
movement
produced
by
the
skeletal
muscles.
Describes
all
forms
of
large
muscle
movements
including
sports,
games,
work,
lifestyle
activities
and
exercise
for
tness.
Walking

Gardening
Dancing
Doing any household chore
(Hoeger & Hoeger, 2004)
Why is Physical Activity important?

How much is enough?
In the study of the American College of Sports and
Medicine (ACSM) and the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) found the latest evidence and
reached the consensus on the recommendation that:
Every
American adult should accumulate 30
minutes or more of moderate-intensity physical
activity over the course of the most days of the
week.
Calculating your Heart Rate
220 age = (MHR) Maximum Heart Rate
220- 20 = 200
Training Range (65% to 85%)
MHR x 0.65 = low end of training range
MHR x 0.85 = high end of training range
200 x .65 = 130
200 x .85 = 170
Getting your Heart Rate
Count your pulse for 6 seconds.
Start counting from 0.
Multiply it by 10
A person with an average cardiovascular fitness
should expect a resting heart rate of
70 bpm for men
75 bpm for women
Physical
Fitness
Post-tes?ng
The
same
range
of
tests
done
during
the
Physical
Fitness
Pre-testing.
This
will
be
administered
during
the
latter
part
of
the
semester.
