What is the capacity to sustain the application of force without yielding or breaking the ability of the muscles to exert efforts against resistance?

–refers to the soundness of the heart and lungs which contribute to theability to resist disease.2.Endurance–is the ability to sustain long continued contractions where a numberof muscle groups are used: the capacity to bear or last in a certain tasks without unduefatigue.3.Strength–is the capacity to sustain the application of force without yielding orbreaking; the ability of the muscles to exert effort against a resistance.4. Power–refers to the ability of the muscles to release maximum force in the shortestperiod of time.5.Flexibility–is a quality of plasticity which gives the ability to do a wide rangeof movement.6.Agility–is the ability of an individual to change direction or position in space withquickness and lightness of movement.7. Balance–is the ability to control organicequipment neuro-muscularly; a state of equilibrium.8. Speed–is the ability to make successive movement of the same kind in the shortestperiod of time.GymnasticsTherapeutic or Remedial Gymnastics-is a series of selected exercises thathelps relieve physical discomfort or restore function to disabled peopleEducational Gymnastics-is a program that challenges students to master tacticsinvolving strength, rhythm, flexibility, balance and agility.Competitive Gymnastics-consists of prescribed sets of events for men and women,each of which is scored separately in order to determine the winner.Meaning Of GymnasticsGymnastics is defined as a self-motivatingactivity where one can manipulate thedifferentparts of the body in varied movement.Gymnastics are exercises based onscientific principle.Gymnastics is the performance ofsystematic exercises ofen with the use of light andother heavy gymnastics apparatus.Objective of Gymnastics1.Improve and maintain a physically fit body.2.Improve efficiently of movement through grace, poise, dignity, form and rhythm.3.Improve social development like courage, initiative, determination, andperseverance.4.Correction of minor posture defects.

What is PHYSICAL FITNESS?PHYSICAL FITNESS COMPONENTSStrength – is the capacity to sustain the application of force without yielding or breaking; theability of the muscles to exert effort against a resistance.Endurance / Stamina – is the ability to sustain long-continued contractions where a number ofmuscle groups are used; the capacity to bear or last long in a certain task without undue fatigue.Flexibility / Suppleness – is a quality of plasticity which gives the ability to do a wide range ofmovement.HEALTH RELATED COMPONENTSIt involves four basic movements, namely:a.Flexion – bending a body segment;b.Extension – straightening a body segment;c.Abduction – moving a limb away from the body; andd.Adduction – moving a limb toward the body.

Body flexibility is achieved throughstretchingspecific segments of the body. To achieve good body flexibility,exercises should be performed daily. For very tight muscle–joint area, it is highly recommended that flexibilityexercises be done at least twice a day.TYPES OF STRETCHINGPASSIVE ASSISTED STRETCHING–involves relaxing a specific body part and just allowingthe partner to move the limb of the stretcher to gain a new range of movement.STATIC STRETCHING–involves slowly stretching a segment of the body to the farthest point andholding that position for a certain period of time.BALLISTICS STRETCHING–involves a sudden, bouncing or jerking rhythmic movementof a specific part of the body.PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION (PNF)– involves thehold – relax (HR) approach to stretching.Body composition – refers to the proportion between fat weight and total body weight. It isdetermined by the amount of fat and lean tissue in the body.

SKILL / PERFORMANCE RELATED COMPONENTSPower – refers to the ability of the muscles to release maximum force in the shortest period of time.Agility – is the ability of the individual to change direction or position in space with quickness andlightness of movement.Speed – is the ability to make successive movements of the same kind in the shortest period of time.Coordination – is the ability to use your senses together with your body parts or to use two or morebody parts together.Balance – is the ability to control organic equipment neuro-muscularly; a state of equilibrium.BODY AWARENESSrefers to the consciousness to the body as a whole. It refers to the awarenessto grasp the different kinds of movement that each body part can do and the awareness to grasp of itsrelation to space, time, force, and rhythm. It is the total awareness of what the body can do and where thebody is, which leads to a greater body control and successful skill learning.

PLANES–the imaginary, two– dimensional surface in which movements are performed.Three (3) Body Planes corresponding to the three (3) dimension of space:Frontal / Lateral – divides the body into half (front and back)Sagittal – divides the body into half (right and left)Transversal / Horizontal – divides the body into half at a given point parallel to the ground (upperand lower)SPATIAL DIRECTIONS
