    Course Description
    This course build on the foundation of motor skills achieved through core training. It will provide
    experiences in a variety of exercise programs to maintain and enhance cardiorespiratory and
    musculoskeletal fitness. It includes speed and agility training with a focus on body coordination
    and balance. In conjunction with fitness and wellness concepts, exercise and healthy eating
    principles learners will be able to enhance their fitness through goal setting and application of
    the exercise principles to adapt their movement competencies to independent physical activity
    pursuits and periodically evaluate their physical activity and eating patterns to monitor their
    progress and achievement of personal fitness and dietary goals.

    Lesson 1
     Movement
    - Is the process of any change in the position of the body (or a body part) in space,
    ranging from the ever-so-slight, such as the involuntary blink of an eye, to the most
    strenuous of vigorous whole-body activities, like sprinting.

     Fundamental Body Movements


    - Are basic body movements that serve as the foundational building blocks upon which
    more complicated physical movements are built. Locomotor, non-locomotor, and
    manipulative movements are three types of movements completed by the body.
    1. Locomotor Movements
    - Involve moving the body through space from one location to another
    - important in many sports and recreational activities.
    - galloping, swimming, sliding
    2. Non-locomotor Movements
    - are movements that happens in one space or in a stationary place
    - also known as axial movements
    - bending, twisting, turning, swaying
    3. Manipulative
    - Are movements that involve using a body part to move an object or item
    - soccer, football, basketball, baseball

     Body Mechanics
    - Is simply, the study of the human movement.
    - Also called as biomechanics and kinesiology
    - It applies the popular principles of engineering and physics to basic human
    movement. Body mechanics training occurs when appropriate body movement is
    applied in correcting and preventing poor posture, reducing stress on ligaments,
    tendons and joints, and is enhancing physical capabilities.
    Several Principles in Body Mechanics
    1. The Proper Alignment of the Body
    - when standing, sitting, or lying down, you should try to keep your body in
    alignment. This means that the two sides of the body are mirror images of
    each other, with body parts lined up naturally.
    - tucking in the buttock’s muscles can help correct a body alignment
    2. Having A Wide Base of Support
    - the feet are the body’ base of support. This means they are the foundation
    that supports you when you stand.
    - So, a person who is standing with legs apart has a greater base of support,
    and is more stable, that someone standing with the feet close together.
    - this gives patient maximum stability. Feet permanently flat in about 2 inches
    when standing.
    3. Center of Gravity
    - the center of gravity in your body is the point where the most weight is
    concentrated. This point will depend on the position the body is in. When you
    stand your weight is centered in your pelvis and, therefore lowers your center
    of gravity. This gives you more stability and makes you less likely to fall or
    strain the working muscles.
