 GRADE 11 PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND HEALTH
Grade 11 Physical Education and Health offers practical learning for students to
effect change on lifestyle towards an active and healthy living. The concepts and skills
expected to be developed at the end of the semester as stated in each learning
competencies is intended to prepare the students to manage relevant and important
information related to fitness and health.

This course on exercise for fitness empowers the students to engage in exercise
through purposive, careful planning, and skillful execution of aerobic and muscle- and bone-
strengthening activities and constantly appraise progress as to how much impact does these
exercises affect lifestyle and health.

OVERVIEW
Welcome to Grade 11 Physical Education! In this module you will learn about the
concepts of aerobic, bone strengthening, and muscle strengthening exercises and its impact
to over-all health through illustrations. As you go along in this module, you will be constantly
asked to perform different activities as it is believed that learning will be faster if you
experienced it first-hand. These concepts will ultimately allow you to understand better, first,
the differences of the three exercises, and second, its relationship for you to appreciate and
engage in physical activities as part of a healthy lifestyle.
This module is focused on three lessons:

Lesson 1: Aerobic Activities

Aerobic exercise can be defined as any form of exercise or activity that uses the
aerobic metabolism. which means that oxygen is a vital factor in delivering energy to sustain
any activity.

What are examples of Aerobic activities or exercise?

 You cAn…

or even ro household chores

Other activities like walking, stair climbing, and jump rope are are examples of light to
vigorous aerobic activities.

That’s fun, right? But how?

 To develop your aerobic capacity, you

These four factors will help you to formulate your workout with purpose and executed
correctly. Of course, warm up and cool down should be a part of the workout plan, not to
mention proper clothing.
 What I Know

Activity 1:

Considering COVID-19 pandemic, weather or climate, identify 6 aerobic exercises or

activities 3 of which are light and the other 3 vigorous that you can do. List your answer in
your notebook.

Activity 2:

With your list in activity 1, perform 1 light exercise and 1 vigorous alternately (recover fully
before doing the second exercise). Compare the effects of both exercises to the following:

1. Heart Rate: Which one raises the heart rate faster?

2. Muscles: Which one tire the muscles faster?
3. Availability of Time: Which one is better suited if you have:
a. Small amount of time for exercise
b. Bigger amount of time for exercise

Activity 3:

Create 6-week Aerobic Exercise plan and log your every session. Submit your weekly output
to track your progress. Good luck and have fun!
Lesson 2 Bone Strengthening Exercise

Bone strengthening exercise is A kind of ACTivity used to improve

the strength cApAcity of the bone And enhAnce growth

Activities or exercises like plyometrics or jumping exercises, weight lifting, basketball,
volleyball, running, gymnastics, and exercises that uses equipment like resistance bands are
good exercises or activities to develop your bone strength.

What I Know

Activity 4:

Considering COVID-19 pandemic, identify at least three different items found at home (your
home) that can be used for bone strengthening exercise. List three different household
chores that you can do to improve bone strength and improve growth.
Activity 5:

Modified Hopscotch. Instead of landing on your feet alone, design a hopscotch pattern
where you should use both your feet and hands in any sequence. This will not only develop
bone strength but also coordination and balance.
Activity 6:

Create a six-week bone strengthening routine and add it to your aerobic workout. Record
your every exercise session for monitoring.

Activity 7: Incorporate a six-week muscle strength training workout to your weekly routine.
Record your every session in your exercise log for monitoring.

Let’s Explore

How is your workout so far? Based on your previous activities, you will now perform a
series of fun games to better understand aerobic, bone, and muscle strengthening exercise
and how it can be done using different approaches like fun games, competition, and family
activity.

What I Know

Activity 8: Fitness Bingo (combine aerobic, bone and muscle strengthening exercises)

Activity 9: Challenge the family members for an aero marathon dance competition (don’t
worry if you are not a good dancer, it increases the level of fun, and it’s not about dancing
anyway).

Activity 10: Challenge a few friends for a walk, jog, run competition. Depending on your
level of fitness, you decide how far will be the course.
Summary
Aerobic exercise is any exercise performed and sustained over a period of time
with oxygen as a necessity to deliver energy. This method is purposely to improve the
capacity of the heart to pump more oxygen-rich blood to the working muscles. This is done
with purpose through careful planning and execution taking into consideration factors like
frequency, intensity, and duration.
Bone strengthening exercise is a kind of exercise that produces force to the
bone to trigger growth and increase bone strength by increasing bone density thus
making it essential for your age to help you grow taller and faster.
Muscle strengthening exercises on the other hand is kind of exercise method
which includes resistance training and lifting weights, causes the body’s muscles to
work or hold against an applied force or weight. These activities often involve relatively
heavy objects, such as weights, which are lifted multiple times to train various muscle
groups.
Although these three different methods are targeting three different parts of the body,
it is also important to know that doing one will benefit the other two. It is a fact that as you
exercise one part of the body, other parts are not entirely isolated or involved and
therefore any kind of exercise would benefit to some extent aerobic capacity as well
as muscular and bone strength. Running is an example of an exercise that benefits the
three areas. As you run, you improve your aerobic fitness, while the weight of the body
improves strength of the leg muscles, and the impact of the weight-ground-foot contact
improves bone strength.
