FITNESS
INTRODUCTION

This chapter deals with health and physical fitness. All the selected
contents in this chapter are the continuation of health and physical
fitness that were learned in grade 5 and 6.The overall time allotted for
this chapter is 14 periods. It is very unlikely to achieve the desired
learning outcomes of the chapter with the given allotted periods. Thus,
in order to bring the necessary changes and to maintain learners’
motivation individual effort is very important. Therefore, you are
expected to practice the selected physical exercise independently on the
regular basis.

Learning outcomes: At the end of this chapter, students will be able to:
 Recognize a physical exercise which develops their physical
fitness and its benefits.
 Develop physical fitness by performing age appropriate
fitness exercise.
 Show a positive attitude to participating in physical fitness
exercises.
 Understand the risk factors of doping.

Physical fitness is the body’s ability to function efficiently and

effectively. Based on their importance, eleven components are in to
categorize in to health and skills related aspects where each of them
contributes to attaintotal quality of life.

Jumping rope is an easy and effective type of exercise that you can do
at home.
Procedures:

see the rope pass your shins, jump by springing from your toes.
3. Once you're at a comfortable speed, your wrists can do all the work.
4. As you hop, be sure to stay on the balls of your feet. This keeps you
quick and nimble.

Muscular endurance:

Start-up Question:

1. When individuals are engaged in different activities, some

individuals get tired early and others continue the activity for a
long period of time without fatigue. What do you think for this
individual difference?
Muscular endurance refers to the ability of a given muscle to exert
force, consistently and repetitively, over a period of time. It plays a key
role in our daily activities. You might think of muscular endurance as
stamina. Long-distance running is a sport that requires muscular
endurance. Multiple repetitions of an exercise, whether weight training
or resistance is training for 2-3 days a week help to develop muscular
endurance.
Like other types of exercises, muscular endurance training can increase
the level of energy help you sleep better, and improve your overall
health. It can even improve your mood. This helps you achieve your
educational goal.

Tips for speed run:
 Sprint run requires greater balance, strength and
joint range of movement.
 If step length and frequency increases, speed also
increases
 There are three phases in sprint run: drive,

where the outcome is measured by a thrower's ability to throw an
object. Throwing events are the Shot Put, Discus, Javelin, and the
