LESSON
CARDIORESPIRATORY ENDURANCE and FLEXIBILITY
Elevated wellness is tied up to a physically dynamic lifestyle. One of the best indicators of
overall physical fitness is the ability of your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen during activity.

Cardio – respiratory endurance is the ability to exercise your entire body for a long time
without stopping. You can afford to do this kind of exercise if you have a strong heart, healthy
lungs and clear blood vessels to supply your large muscles with oxygen. Example of activities that
requires good cardio respiratory endurance are distance running, swimming and mountaineering.

The term cardio respiratory involves two vital system. Your cardio vascular system includes
the heart, blood vessels and blood. On the other hand, respiratory system is made up of your
lungs and the air passages that brings air, including oxygen, to your lungs from outside of your
body. Oxygen enters the red blood cells. The lungs on the other hand, help the body get rid of
carbon dioxide. Your cardio vascular and respiratory system work together to supply your muscle
cells of waste. Together the two system help you perform you work and activities both effectively
(with the most benefits possible) and efficiently (with the least effort)

The second word in the term cardio – respiratory endurance refers to the ability to sustain
effort. Together, then these two words – cardio respiratory and endurance – refers to the ability to
sustain effort, which is dependent on fitness of the cardio vascular and respiratory system.
CARDIO RESPIRATORY ASSESSMENT
These are test to assess the fitness of your cardio respiratory system. The test may be
done in two settings: the laboratory and the field. The two types of laboratory test are the maximal
oxygen uptake test (also referred to as the VO₂ max test) and the graded exercise test

Both the graded exercise test and the maximal oxygen uptake test are done in the
laboratory and require special equipment and people who are trained to administer them. Thus,
most people however, resorted to some form of assessment using practical non – laboratory test
called field test. These tests require little equipment and can be done at home or at school. Scores
are determined based on your ability to function. Examples include the PACER, the walking test,
the step test and the one – mile run test.

FLEXIBILITY

Flexibility is the ability of your joints to move as they are supposed to move. The amount of
movement in a joint is called its range of motion. Some joints such as the hip and the shoulder,
allow a large of motion because they can move in many directions while other joints such as the
knee and the elbow bend in only one direction. We can say that the amount of flexibility you have
is affected by your joints. Flexibility will help you do all physical activities with ease. Performing
regular stretching exercises is the best way to build flexibility. But be aware that incorrect
stretching can be harmful and can result in joint or muscle injury.

Properly selected exercises can be improved your flexibility and provide many other
benefits such as helping to relieve muscle cramps. Exercise contributes to increased overall
health, but some activities may be contraindicated for you. Contraindicated exercises are ones
that would be detrimental to your health and physical well-being.

GUIDELINES FOR FLEXIBILITY EXERCISES

Before stretching, perform a general warm – up


Make flexibility exercises part of your work out
When beginning, use static stretching or PNF (Proprioceptive
Neuromuscular Facilitation) Progress gradually
Avoid risky exercises
Do not stretch joints that are hyper mobile, unstable, swollen or infected
Do not stretch to the point of feeling pain
Avoid stretching muscles that are already over stretch from poor posture
Avoid stretching that last 30 sec or more before performing strength power
activities.

The term range of motion (ROM) exercise, usually called ROM exercise, refers to flexibility
exercises that are used to maintain the range of motion already present in your joints. ROM
exercise is being probably the safest type of flexibility exercises to use in a warm – up routine.
When you stretch your muscles, you also stretch your tendons. Tendons are fibrous connective
tissues that attach muscles to the bone. Both muscles and tendons are elastic and they may not
be affected if stretching is done properly. However, ligaments, the fibrous connective tissue that
are attaches bone to bone are not elastic so over stretching might cause some health risk. Good
stretching exercises do not stretch ligaments for beginners. It is hard to control ballistic
movements which can result in applying too much force against a muscle and can lead to injury.

Be aware of which commonly done high – risk movements you should avoid and which high –
benefit, low – risk exercises you should do instead.

ACTIVITIES
Before we proceed to our activities, students should have their warm up exercise first.
