This module was designed and made to enlighten you with how you should maintain and keep a
fit body in order to have a healthy mind. At the end of the quarter, you are going to do physical
and recreational activities that are aligned with health-related fitness and skills related activities.
Through this module, you will also clearly understand proper eating habits. You are also
expected to learn ways to improve your personal eating habit that will lead you to become a
physically fit individual.
Exercise - Planned, structured, repetitive movement of the body designed to improve or maintain
physical fitness.
Physical Activity - Any body movement carried out by the skeletal muscles and requiring
energy.
Body fitness - on the other hand, is refers to the ability to do strenuous physical or sports
activities without getting tired easily. It is not enough for someone to only look good and feel
4
good in order to be called physically fit. An individual should also take into consideration his
kind of lifestyle including the food he takes every day because it can lead him to better health.
This is primarily associated with disease prevention and functional health. Participating in
regular health-related fitness helps you control your weight, prevents diseases and illness,
improves mood, boosts energy and promotes better sleep.

Activities done by the skeletal muscles that utilize energy is called Physical Activity. Activities
you are doing at home or in school are considered to be physical activity. It is classified into 4
domains: occupational, domestic, transportation, and leisure time.
1. Occupational – These are the activities you do at your work place. Lifting computers and
books, going your friend’s desk or preparing lunch at the pantry.
2. Domestic – These are the activities you do at home. Washing clothes and dishes, gardening,
carpentry, baking or cleaning the house.
3. Transportation – These are the activities that involves travelling. Riding a jeepney, tricycle,
motorcycle, or bikes.
4. Leisure Time – These are the activities you do during recreational activities. Playing,
swimming, hiking or craft making.
Exercise according to a study by Buckworth and Dishman, is the “planned, structured, repetitive
bodily movements that someone engages in for the purpose of improving or maintaining physical
fitness or health.
1. Aerobic
Aerobic activities, also called endurance activities, are physical activities in which people move
their large muscles in a rhythmic manner for a sustained period.
2. Muscle-Strengthening Activity
This kind of activity, which includes resistance training and lifting weights, causes the body’s
muscles to work or hold against an applied force or weight.
3. Bone-Strengthening Activity

Eating Habits
The term eating habits (or food habits) refers to why and how people eat, which foods they eat,
and with whom they eat, as well as the ways people obtain, store, use, and discard food.
Individual, social, cultural, religious, economic, environmental, and political factors all influence
people's eating habits.
There are many factors that determine what foods a person eats. In addition to personal
preferences, there are cultural, social, religious, economic, environmental, and even political
factors.
Individual Preferences
8
Every individual has unique likes and dislikes concerning foods. These preferences develop over
time, and are influenced by personal experiences such as encouragement to eat, exposure to a
food, family customs and rituals, advertising, and personal values.
Cultural Influences
A cultural group provides guidelines regarding acceptable foods, food combinations, eating
patterns, and eating behaviours. Compliance with these guidelines creates a sense of identity and
belonging for the individual.
Social Influences
Members of a social group depend on each other, share a common culture, and influence each
other's behaviours and values. A person's membership in particular peer, work, or community
groups impacts food behaviours.
Religious Influences
Religious proscriptions range from a few to many, from relaxed to highly restrictive. This will
affect a follower's food choices and behaviours.
Economic Influences
Money, values, and consumer skills all affect what a person purchase. The price of a food,
however, is not an indicator of its nutritional value. Cost is a complex combination of a food's
availability, status, and demand.
Environmental Influences.
The influence of the environment on food habits derives from a composite of ecological and
social factors. Foods that are commonly and easily grown within a specific region frequently
become a part of the local cuisine.
Political Influences
Political factors also influence food availability and trends. Food laws and trade agreements
affect what is available within and across countries, and also affect food prices. Food labeling
9
laws determine what consumers know about the food they purchase. Eating habits are thus the
result of both external factors, such as politics, and internal factors, such as values. These habits
are formed, and may change, over a person's lifetime.
When it comes to eating, we have strong habits. Some are good (“I always eat breakfast”), and
some are not so good (“I always clean my plate”). Although many of our eating habits were
established during childhood, it doesn’t mean it’s too late to change them.
Making sudden, radical changes to eating habits such as eating nothing but cabbage soup, can
lead to short term weight loss. However, such radical changes are neither healthy nor a good
idea, and won’t be successful in the long run. Permanently improving your eating habits requires
a thoughtful approach in which you Reflect, Replace, and
Reinforce
● REFLECT on all of your specific eating habits, both bad and good; and, your common triggers
for unhealthy eating.
● REPLACE your unhealthy eating habits with healthier ones.
● REINFORCE your new, healthier eating habits.

This module was designed and written to help you understand PED001 setting your fitness goal.
The scope of this module permits it to be utilized in many various learning situations. The given
activities in this module can be done individually or with the help of family members.
This module focuses in sets Frequency Intensity Time Type (FITT) goals based on training
1. Discuss the FITT principles and principle of physical activity in helping to develop a private
exercise preparation;
2. Create fitness plan based on the FITT principle and principle of physical activity to reach a
fitness goal;
4. Perform moderate to vigorous physical activities based on the programmed fitness plan.
Effective training takes time and patience. If one adheres to the proper principles of training
result will definitely be seen. The performance will be improved and physiological changes will
occur as well. A proper program of exercise considers three principles of training: the principle
Overload Principle
29
This principle pertains to doing “more than normal” for improvement to happen. It means to
boost our fitness, strength, or endurance. Workload is extended accordingly. Applying these
training principles will cause long-term adaptations; enable the body to figure more efficiently to
deal with higher level of performance. Overloading will be achieved by following the acronym
FITT:
Intensity: Increasing the problem of the exercise, for instance, running at 12 km/h rather than 10
Time: Increasing the length of your training time for every session for instance, cycling for 45
Type: Increase the intensity of the training. For instance, progress from walking to Running.
Principle of Progression
To ensure that the results will still improve over time, the adapted workload should be
continually increased. A gradual and systematic increase within the workload over a period of
time will lead to improvement in fitness without risk of injury. If overload occurs and increase
rapidly, it may lead to injury or muscle damage. If increased slowly, improvement is unlikely.
For instance, the athlete who exercises vigorously only on weekends violates the principle of
progression and may not see obvious fitness gains. The Principle of Progression also stresses the
requirement for correct rest and recovery. Continual stress on the body and constant overload
30
will lead to exhaustion and injury. You ought not to train hard all the time, as you'll risk
Principle of Individuality
Exercise should be very specific to every individual since every person is different. Programs
should be designed by taking into account every person’s unique characteristics such as physical
abilities, potentials, psychology, body type, age, gender, physical strength, athletic background,
Principle of Specificity
We have all heard the phrase, "Practice makes perfect." Well, this is often the principle of
specificity in action. This principle simply states that exercising a specific piece or component of
the body primarily develops that part. The principle of specificity implies that to become better at
a selected exercise or skill, you need to perform that exercise or skill. For example, a cyclist
should be trained in cycling and a runner should be trained in running. Use the acceptable sort of
Principle of Reversibility
Development of muscles will happen if regular movement and execution are completed. If
activity ceases, it will be reversed. This shows that benefits and changes achieved from overload
will last as long as training is continuous. On the flip side, this also implies that the detraining
effect will be reversed once training is resumed. Extended rest periods reduce fitness and
31
therefore the physiological effects diminish over time which throws the body back to its pre-
training condition. Note: The effect of training will be lost if the training is discontinued.
Principle of Rest/Recovery
During exercise, physiological breakdown of tissues occurs and metabolic wastes accumulate.
The body repairs itself and removes wastes when you rest, eat, and sleep. Rest & recovery
between exercise sets and sessions are as important as the exercise program itself. Not allowing
your body to rest and recover properly will lead to decreased performance, injuries, and fatigue.
Optimal rest and recovery time is 24-48 hours post training. Rest and recovery can also be
achieved by alternating more strenuous training days with easier training days, or alternating
Understanding the F.I.T.T. principle helps you create a workout plan which will be beneficial in
reaching your fitness goals. F.I.T.T. stands for frequency, intensity, time, and type of exercise.
These are the four elements you would like to believe to make workouts that suit your goals and
fitness level.
Factor Definition
Frequency Number of meetings in a week
Intensity Effort level of the exercise
Time Period covered in an exercise session
Type Kind of activity
Frequency
The first thing to identify in the workout plan is frequency—how often you exercise. Your
frequency often depends on a spread of things including the sort of workout you're doing, how
hard you're working, your fitness level, and your exercise goals. Three to five times a week is a
American College of Sports Medicine sets exercise guidelines to provide a place to start figuring
For cardio: Include your goal, guidelines recommend moderate exercise five or more days every
week or intense cardio three days every week to improve your health.
If your goal is to lose weight, you'll need to work often up to six or more days a week.
For strength training: The suggested frequency is two to three non-consecutive days
a week, it should be one to two days between sessions. If you are doing a split routine, like upper
body at some point and lower body subsequent, your workouts are going to be more frequent
Factor Definition
Intensity
Intensity refers to how hard you work during the physical activity period.
Intensity is often measured in several ways, counting on the health-related component. For
instance, monitoring pulse rate is a technique to measure intensity during aerobic endurance
For cardio: For cardio, you will usually monitor intensity by heart rate or pulse rate. The
recommendation for steady-state workouts is at a moderate intensity and for interval training it
For strength training: Monitoring the intensity of strength training involves a special set of
parameters. The intensity depends on the workload you are doing, the amount of weight you lift,
and the number of repetitions and sets. You can change the intensity based on your goals. For a
beginner use a lighter weight and do fewer sets with high repetitions (two or three sets of 12 to
20 repetitions). If your goal is to develop muscle, do a higher number of sets with a moderate
number of repetitions (four sets of 10 to 12 reps each). If you want to create strength, use
heavyweights to try to do more sets with fewer repetitions for example, five sets of three
repetitions each.
34
Note: Your resting pulse rate is the number of times your heart beats per minute after you are at
rest
Health Trivia
It means your heart muscle is in good condition and it does not need to work strongly to maintain
a steady beat. Studies found out that a greater resting pulse rate is connected with poor physical
Time
Time is the length of the physical activity. Considering the other aspects of the
F.I.T.T principle, time differs depending on the health-related fitness component targeted.
For cardio: The suggested cardio exercise is 30 to 60 minutes but the duration of your workout
depends on the type of exercise. For a beginner, you might start with
a workout of 15 to 20 minutes. If you're doing steady-state cardio, like going for a run, you may
exercise for 30 minutes to an hour. If you're doing interval training and working at a high
For strength training: How long you lift weights depends on the type of workout you're doing
and on your schedule. For total body workout, you may take up to an hour, but a split routine
may take less time because you're working for fewer muscle groups.
Type
35
Type refers to the definite physical activity selected to improve a component of health-related
fitness. For example, a person who wants to improve the arm strength should exercise the triceps
and biceps, while an individual who wants to improve aerobic endurance needs to execute some
For Cardio: Cardio is changeable since any activity that makes your heart rate up counts.
Dancing, running, walking, jogging, and cycling are some of the wide variety of activities you
may choose. Having more than one cardio activity helps reduce boredom.
For strength training: Strength training workouts can also offer a variety of exercises. It
includes any exercise using resistance like dumbbells, barbells, machines, and many others to
work your muscles. You may also use your body as resistance tool. You may change the type of
The F.I.T.T. principle provides guides on how to control your program and get favourable
results. To avoid boredom, injuries, and weight loss plateaus, this principle will help you figure
For example, walking three times a week for 30 minutes at a moderate pace might be a great help
for a beginner. Your body adjusts to these workouts and several things may happen after a few
• Weight loss
36
• Boredom sets in
You may also utilize one or more of the F.I.T.T. principles, such as:
Changing one of the elements will create a big difference in the workout plan and in how your
body reacts to exercise. It's significant to alter things up on a regular basis to keep your body and
mind healthy.
Muscle develops once the body is trained to do more than what it used to. The Principles of
Benefits of this can be achieved through continuous overloading, or else, if stopped, it will go
It stands for Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type. The physical activity program issued as a
guideline for fitness routine to achieve results. Execution of exercise is also related to its
intensity. The more the activity is repeated, the more chances of developing fitness.
Intensity is defined as how easy or hard the designed task is accomplished or the magnitude of
work done. The body’s response by the number of times the heart pumps measured in beats per
minute determines the intensity. Workable heart rate’s capacity will help in getting ideal
Proper choosing of activities helps achieving goals set by specifying the target muscles to
develop. To keep activities exciting and interesting, setting up variations in exercises or routines
may help.
Here are some examples of physical activities and exercises that you may integrate in your own
fitness plan. Remember that the intensity of exercise as well as the type of activity to be done
will vary for each person, as it is based on the fitness level results during self-testing.

Module 3
An exercise workout has three components: warm-up, exercise load and cool-down. The exercise
load or workout load is the program activity that would stimulate beneficial adaptation when
performed regularly. A warm-up is essential prior to actual workload as it prepares the body for
more strenuous activity. It increases the blood flow to the working muscles without an abrupt
increase in lactic acid accumulation. According to research, the warmer the body and muscle, the
higher the muscular output. A good warm-up also prepares the heart, muscles, and
joints for the next activity by decreasing joint stiffness and increasing the nerve impulses. Cool-
down is essential after a workout as it permits the pre-exercise heart rate and blood pressure for a
gradual recovery. Cooling down may be most vital for competitive endurance athletes, like
marathoners, because it helps regulate blood flow.
Stretching - At least 10 minutes of stretching exercises performed after the warmup or cool-
down phase
