PHYSICAL

EDUCATION
 Physical Education
It has historically been neglected due to misunderstandings
among educators. It is essential to redefine and clarify its
scope to ensure it receives the attention it deserves within
the educational framework.
 PATHFIT
1
Students will gain a deeper understanding of physical
education and its curriculum. There is widespread consensus
that optimal health is invaluable; as Schopenhauer wisely
noted, "the greatest of follies is to neglect one's health for
any advantage in life.
At the end of the unit, students are expected to:
Value and prioritize physical education.

Redefine and clarify the scope of physical education

Foster holistic development through physical education.

 Actively discuss the importance of physical exercise for health and well-
being across all age groups.

 Gain life skills like teamwork, discipline, and problem solving through
active participation in physical education for productive and healthy lives.

FUNCTIONS
In the Philippines, Physical Education
has transitioned from a historical emphasis
on muscular development via methods
such as "drill," "physical training," and
"calisthenics" to contemporary approaches
that prioritize holistic development
through "education through movement."
In contrast, contemporary physical education
prioritizes "education through movement,"
shifting from mere physical fitness to holistic
development, as Wunderlich (1967) outlines the
benefits of movement in education:
1. It provides sensory data.

2. It broadens the perspective horizon.

3. It stimulates the function and structure of all

bodily organs.

4. It enables individuals to learn about

themselves in relation to their surrounding
environment.
"Education through movement" involves utilizing a
culturally rich array of activities and processes—such
as games, dance, gymnastics, athletic sports, and
outdoor pursuits—as mediums through which teachers
can achieve desirable educational outcomes .
Additionally, modern Physical Education in the Philippines
aims to develop various competencies beyond physical
fitness, including social skills, teamwork, leadership, and
emotional well-being. This method gets students ready for a
healthy life and gives them important skills for their
personal and social growth.
 PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical education is a vital component of the educational
program, aimed at fostering the optimal development of
individuals physically, socially, emotionally, and mentally
through engaging in well-chosen physical activities
(Andin, 2002). It focuses on the teaching and learning of
skills and attitudes through play activities.
Legal Bases for teaching Physical Education in the
Philippines
1901 Physical exercise became part of public school
subjects, with regular athletic programs.
1920 Physical Education subject became mandatory in
all public schools.
1937 Physical Education became a formal subject in
secondary school curricula.
1969 The School of Physical Education and Sports
Development Act of 1969.
A program of activities included among others:

 a. A program of health education and nutrition;

 b. A program of physical fitness for all pupils;
 c. A program of competitive athletics;
 d. A program of intramurals and inter-unit athletic
completion within schools, districts, and provinces.
OBJECTIVE

PHYSICAL
EDUCATIO
N
A. Physical Development
Physical Education activities, carefully selected and
actively participated in, contribute significantly to the
maintenance of good health and the enhancement of
physical fitness. Regular engagement in physical activities
helps individuals build and sustain physical skills, thereby
improving overall growth and development (NASPE, 2007
).
For instance, participation in sports and exercises improves
cardiovascular health, muscular strength, flexibility, and
endurance, leading to better overall physical well-being.
B. Social Development

Participation in Physical Education activities foster the

development of essential social skills necessary for
effective interaction in various social settings. It provides
opportunities for individuals to cultivate traits such as
friendliness, cooperation, respect for others' rights, and
good sportsmanship (Gallahue & Ozmun, 2012).
Moreover, activities like team sports promote teamwork,
leadership, and followership skills, contributing to the
development of well-rounded individuals capable of
contributing positively to society.
C. Emotional Development

Physical activities offer a platform for self-expression

and emotional regulation. Engaging in physical
activities helps individuals develop emotional traits
such as self-confidence, self-control, self-reliance,
ocurage, and determination (Graham, Holt/Hale, &
Parker, 2013).
Overcoming challenges in physical activities
builds resilience and perseverance, essential
for navigating life's challenges with
confidence.
D. Mental Development

Participation in Physical Education activities enhance

mental capacities through various cognitive processes.
Individuals learn the mechanical principles underlying
movements, gain knowledge of game rules and strategies,
and explore ways to improve movement techniques in
gymnastics and dance (NASPE, 2007).
Moreover, engagement in sports and physical activities
stimulates critical thinking and decision-making skills,
as individuals strategize and adapt their actions
according to rules and game situations (Gallahue &
Ozmun, 2012).
The objective of Physical Education aims not only to
enhance physical fitness but also to develop social skills,
motor skills, aesthetic appreciation, cultural preservation,
and environmental conservation.

New Directions for Physical Education

In 2021, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in

the Philippines issued CHED Memorandum Orders
(CMO) No. 3 No. 35 and No. 40, which mark significant
advancements in the Tertiary Physical Education
Curriculum
These CMOs are designed to enhance the quality and
relevance of physical education in higher education
institutions, reflecting a modernized approach that
integrates contemporary educational standards and
practices. CMO 39 focuses on the policies, standards, and
guidelines for the Bachelor of Physical Education program,
ensuring a comprehensive and competency-based
curriculum
These memoranda aim to cultivate a more holistic and
dynamic physical education framework, preparing students
for diverse career opportunities and fostering a healthier
society.

 Context of Physical Education

In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO)

released a seminal report highlighting a concerning
trend: physical inactivity had emerged as the fourth
leading risk factor for global mortality. This
groundbreaking revelation underscored a critical health
issue affecting populations worldwide.
To combat physical inactivity and its associated health risks,
WHO has outlined specific recommendations for exercise
tailored to different age groups:

Children (5-17 years):

Kids and teenagers should get at least 60 minutes of moderate

to vigorous physical activity every day. This can include
activities like running or swimming for aerobic exercise,
climbing or gymnastics for muscle strengthening, and jumping
or skipping for bone health.
Adults (18-64 years):

Adults should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate

intensity aerobic exercise each week like brisk walking or
cycling. Alternatively, they can do 75 minutes of vigorous-
intencity activities, like running or aerobic dancing, or a mix of
both. In addition, adults should include muscle-strengthening
exercises such as weightlifting or bodyweight exercises, on
two or more days a week.
Older Adults (65 years and above):

Seniors with good mobility should focus on activities that

help maintain or improve their balance, especially if they are
prone to falls. They should engage in exercises that include
endurance, strength, balance and flexibility components.
Activity like walking, yoga, and light weightlifting can be
beneficial.
Role of Physical Education in
Implementing
Recommendations
 PE in schools and communities plays a vital role in
promoting regular physical activity from an early age and
across the lifespan:

1. Education and Awareness: PE classes educate students

about the importance of physical activity, its benefits, and
the risks of inactivity, instilling lifelong habits of exercise.
2. Skill Development: PE teaches fundamental movement
skills and sports-specific skills, preparing students to engage
in various physical activities confidently.

3. Promotion of Active Lifestyles: PE programs promote

active living through structured physical activities, games, and
sports, encouraging students to meet WHO's exercise
recommendations.
