Lesson Overview
Physical activity simply means movement of the body that uses up energy. Walking, gardening, sweeping and
mopping, mopping the floor, climbing the stairs, playing football, or dancing are all good examples of being active.
However, for it to be beneficial for one’s body, there are various factors to be considered such as the intensity, duration,
and frequency of the physical activity performed.
Here are some points to consider:
1. Physical activity done at a moderate or vigorous intensity level is good for a teenager’s health.
2. Moderate physical activities generally make you move. These could include brisk walking, dancing, biking, swimming
and jogging. Even helping out with some of the more active chores inside and outside your home like gardening can be
good.
3. Vigorous activities increase the heart rate and make you sweat and may let you enjoy being active even more. You may
play games with lots of running involved, say, basketball. You may also be taking up running or jogging, or other sports
like football, tennis, and swimming.
Being physically active is an important part of a teenager’s growth and development, especially if done regularly.
Let them realize that it is a great way to spend time with friends, meet new people, feel good, and break up long stretches of
playing online games and watching movies. It is invigorating to move the entire body, even by just cheering, or running
after the ball. Being active every day can help teenagers achieve the following:
improve heart health and fitness
develop strong muscles
develop strong bones
develop good posture
maintain a healthy weight
improve concentration and memory LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

According to the World Health Organization, in 2010, physical inactivity or the lack of physical activity has been
identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality (6% of deaths globally). Moreover, physical inactivity is
estimated to be the main cause of approximately 21–25% of breast and colon cancer cases, 27% of diabetes cases, and
approximately 30% of ischemic heart disease cases. The following are the common results of physical inactivity.
increased risk of being overweight and obese
hypertension/high blood pressure
anxiety depression
type 2 diabetes mellitus
The term "physical activity" should not be mistaken with "exercise". Exercise is a subcategory of physical activity
that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful in the sense that the improvement or maintenance of one or more
components of physical fitness is the objective. Physical activity includes exercise as well as other activities which involve
bodily movement and are done as part of playing, working, active transportation, house chores and recreational activities.
Due to the rising technological advancement in our country, the physical activities of teenagers have become limited and
are often neglected. Motivation and involvement are needed for them to be active. Once they are motivated, they will open
doors for physical activities that they will surely enjoy.
Motivation and parental guidance are needed to encourage teenagers to engage in physical activity so that they
could enhance their skills as well as improve their body conditions and health, leading to a physically fit individual. It is
also important to help them manage their time and lead them to use their leisure hours wisely.
Inspire and motivate them to join youth groups that could help them enjoy the physical activities and allow them
to be competitive. These healthy competitions will develop their initiative and sense of leadership and responsibility. While
competing, camaraderie, patience and cooperation will also be learned. We can have not only physically active and healthy
teenagers, but we will also develop well-mannered teenagers who can become future responsible leaders as well.
