Describe and explain the four objectives of physical education related to the following
aspects. (10 points each).
a. physical development
This objective focuses on improving the body’s physical capacity through regular exercise and
physical activities. It aims to develop strength, endurance, flexibility, agility, balance, and
coordination. By engaging in fitness routines and sports, individuals enhance their overall health,
prevent diseases, and maintain an active lifestyle. Physical development ensures that the body is
strong and capable of handling daily tasks efficiently.
b. social development
Physical Education encourages interaction, cooperation, and teamwork. Through group
activities, games, and sports, students learn to respect others, practice fairness, and build
friendships. It develops leadership, sportsmanship, and the ability to work effectively with
different people. Social development helps individuals become more responsible members of
their community by promoting unity and respect.
c. emotional development
This objective emphasizes building emotional stability, self-confidence, and a positive outlook.
Physical activities help release stress, reduce anxiety, and boost mood through the release of
endorphins. Students also learn to manage winning and losing gracefully, developing resilience
and self-control. Emotional development in Physical Education fosters discipline, motivation, and
healthy self-expression.
d. mental development
Physical Education enhances cognitive skills by teaching rules, strategies, and techniques of
different games and exercises. It helps develop critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-
solving abilities. By analyzing movements, planning plays, and setting fitness goals, individuals
sharpen their mental capacities. Mental development ensures that students are not only
physically fit but also mentally alert and capable of making sound judgments.

Read each question thoroughly and answer it in your own words. (2 points per question)
1. What are the two main areas that make up the dual approach of physical education
programs?
The dual approach is made up of the regular PE program (core activities done in class) and the
extracurricular or recreation program (optional activities outside class, like clubs or sports
events). Yes, attendance is mandatory in the regular PE program since it is part of the
curriculum. In extracurricular or recreation programs, attendance is voluntary because they are
optional activities.
2. Is attendance mandatory for the regular PE program? What about attendance for the
extracurricular or recreation program?
Yes, attendance is mandatory in the regular PE program since it is part of the curriculum. In
extracurricular or recreation programs, attendance is voluntary because they are optional
activities.
3. Name three types of activities included in the regular PE program.
• Rhythmic activities (e.g., dance, aerobics)
• Sports and games (e.g., basketball, volleyball)
• Fitness activities (e.g., calisthenics, jogging)
4. What is the primary focus of the regular PE program?
The primary focus of the regular PE program is to develop students’ physical fitness, motor
skills, and overall health while instilling discipline, teamwork, and lifelong habits of an active
lifestyle.
5. What are intramurals and where are they typically held?
Intramurals are organized sports competitions and recreational activities conducted within the
school. They are typically held on the school campus, such as the gymnasium, sports grounds, or
open fields.
6. How do extramurals differ from intramurals?
Intramurals are competitions held within the same school among its students, while extramurals
are competitions between different schools or institutions, allowing students to showcase skills
outside their campus.
7. What is the main purpose of field mass demonstrations?
The main purpose of field mass demonstrations is to promote unity, school spirit, and physical
fitness by having students participate in large group performances that showcase coordination,
discipline, and teamwork.
8. Explain how the regular PE program and the extracurricular/ recreation program have
distinct yet complementary roles in fostering holistic development.
The regular PE program focuses on structured learning of fitness, skills, and health knowledge,
while extracurricular/recreation programs provide opportunities for socialization, creativity, and
relaxation through sports, clubs, and activities. Together, they develop not just physical
competence but also emotional, social, and mental well-being, leading to holistic growth.
9. Why are core activities considered essential for the objectives of the regular PE program?
Provide an example.
Core activities are essential because they form the foundation of physical fitness and skill
development, which are necessary for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. For example, aerobic
exercises like jogging improve cardiovascular endurance, which is vital for overall health.
10. How do related (enrichment) activities contribute to broadening the experiences of the
students beyond just physical skills? Give an example.
Related activities broaden students’ experiences by developing creativity, leadership, and
cultural appreciation alongside physical skills. For example, participating in folk dances not only
enhances coordination but also helps students appreciate cultural traditions.

Answer the following.
1. What is the scientific term used to classify body types?
The scientific term used to classify body types is somatotype.
2. Describe the key physical characteristics of an endomorph.
An endomorph typically has a rounder, softer body shape, higher body fat percentage, wider
hips, and a tendency to gain weight easily, especially fat. They may struggle with weight loss but
often have good strength.
3. What are the defining traits of a mesomorph?
Mesomorphs are characterized by a muscular, athletic build, broad shoulders, narrow waist, and
low to moderate body fat. They usually gain muscle easily and are naturally strong and active.
4. How is an ectomorph typically characterized in terms of appearance and body fat
percentage?
Ectomorphs usually have a slim, lean frame, long limbs, and low body fat percentage. They may
have difficulty gaining weight or muscle mass, even when eating a lot.
5. The text states that some individuals lose fat or gain more, while others eat a lot
but do not gain fat. How does the concept of body type help explain these differences
in body composition and metabolism?
The concept of body type explains that different somatotypes have different metabolic rates and
natural tendencies. For example, endomorphs may store fat more easily due to a slower
metabolism, while ectomorphs may burn calories faster and struggle to gain weight.
Mesomorphs tend to balance between the two, gaining muscle and fat more proportionately.
6. Besides genetics, list and explain at least three other factors that influence a
person's body shape and size according to the text.
1. Diet – the type and amount of food consumed affects fat storage, muscle growth, and overall
energy balance.
2. Physical activity – regular exercise influences muscle tone, strength, and fat levels.
3. Lifestyle and habits – sleep, stress levels, and daily routines play a role in metabolism and
body composition.
7. Why is having an understanding of body types particularly important for young
people when they are experiencing a strong desire to lose body fat and gain more
muscle or achieve a slimmer figure during adolescence?
It is important because understanding body types helps young people set realistic expectations
about their bodies, avoid unhealthy comparisons, and choose safe and effective ways to improve
fitness. It also prevents frustration, negative body image, and risky dieting practices.
8. If someone discovers they are primarily an endomorph, what might they need to
focus on in terms of diet and exercise, given their characteristics described in the
text, to manage their body composition effectively?
Endomorphs should focus on regular cardiovascular exercise (to burn fat), strength training (to
build muscle and boost metabolism), and a balanced diet that is lower in refined carbs and
higher in lean proteins, vegetables, and whole grains. Consistency is key to managing their
weight effectively.
9. How can knowing about body types help an individual set more realistic and
healthy personal fitness goals, rather than comparing themselves unfavorably with
others?
Knowing about body types helps individuals understand their unique strengths and limitations,
allowing them to set achievable goals that match their natural build. Instead of comparing
themselves to others, they can focus on personal progress, adopt healthier routines, and build
confidence by working with their body type rather than against it.
