Applying Principle of Exercise

Introductory Message
 For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the Health Optimizing Physical Education (HOPE 3) Self-

Learning Module 6 on Applying Principle in Exercise !

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and

independent learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims
to help learners acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely:
Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while
taking into consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies
that will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them
to manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist
the learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

For the Learner:

 Welcome to the Health Optimizing Physical Education 3 (HOPE) Self-
Learning Module 6 on Applying Principle in Exercise !

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful
opportunities for guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You

LESSON

Purpose of Training principle

1. Training sessions are tailored to specific requirements. In order for us to
see the results we want to achieve for our body, we have to set and create
programs that suits our needs.
2. Training at the right workload. A person’s capacity differs from one another.
Initial workload should be based from one’s capacity and need. One must
consider each one has a different level of workload capacity. Having a proper
workload in the initial stage of the program prevents injury.
3. Rest period are timed. Many don’t realize that resting is as important as
doing the workout. Proper rest intervals help the muscle relax, grow and
developed. Too much rest will not be beneficial to the muscle.

Training Principles:
1. Progressive Overload- gradually increasing the exercise work load a
persons undertake in order to see continuous improvements. Our body
adopts quickly to the loads (principle of adaptation) through the workout
routine we perform.
 If the FIT (frequency, intensity and time) is constant there will be no
improvements to happen. As they say, insanity is doing the same thing over
and over and expecting different results. Not applying the principle of
progression, no viable results will happen. To see different results, a person
must alter their workload.
2. Specificity –Train specifically to the energy system and skill requirements
needed by a person. Each one of us has a different reason to get fit.
Therefore, planning your own fitness routine and program is important to have
the best results. One must put into consideration his capacity and the results
he wants to achieved. Example, if you want to lose weight, one must engage
in a cardiovascular endurance exercises, if one’s wishes to improve his
muscular strength, he must engage himself in a strength and resistance
training. For flexibility attending a yoga class will be beneficial. We have to be
specific with our goals and design our fitness program based from our needs.

3. Reversibility- the loss of adaptation gained during training because of a

prolonged break period. As they say, use it or you lose it. This happen when
there is a long resting period. Fitness is not constant it diminished once you
don’t practice it. It has to be maintained. Inactivity for a longer period is the
reason reversibility happened. Physical injury, sickness or even boredom from
engaging in an exercise is the main reason a person experience reversibility.

4. Variety- to prevents boredom and keep a person engaged and motivated.

Ensure they are training holistically meaning every muscle group or fitness
compound is covered. Different muscle groups and energy system are giving
a break. Physical Fitness should be holistic. Every inch of muscles and
different organ parts should be will maintain and variety of exercise regimen is
needed to performed. There is not one exercise routine that maintain
holistically. Identifying specific exercise is a must. Variety is the key point to a
holistic approach to fitness.

Training threshold- the zones at which a person needed to train if they want to see
improvement and adaptation necessary to our energy system which means to train
at a different percentage of maximum heart rate to see improvements.
Training below your threshold which is normally for aerobics it should be 60-80%.
Training below the threshold, no sign of benefits from the exercise. Jogging and
other endurance training is beneficial as aerobic training. For an anaerobic, training
should reach 80-90% of your heart rate. Training program for speed and power are
considered as anerobic routine like 50- meter sprint for speed.
Warm-up 20 minutes at the beginning of each sessions.
Phases of Warm up
1. General warm up- it helps to increase heart rate, increase respiration and
prepare the muscle. Doing this, a person will be able to move faster and more
powerfully.
2. Specific warm up- persons perform a movement similar to those they have
to use in the session. (movement adaptation, movement conditioning or
movement memory).
Cool down- lowers areas of the body raised in the warm up. It should lower the
heart rat, respiration and etc. This prevent injury and to prepare the person to the
next session. It also prevents muscle soreness by removing the build-up of lactic
acid accumulated during the training. It delayed onset of muscle soreness (DOM).

ACTIVITIES

Design for own Fitness program based from your Fitness Test Results. Applying the
Principle of Exercise and FITT Principle.
Example: Cardio Vascular (you failed to reach your healthy heart rate. You need to
design a cardio vascular exercise to improve this)
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday
Week Perform Perform Perform
1 Zumba at Zumba at Zumba at Period of
135mbps 135mbps. 135mbps Adaptation
. .
Week Perform Perform Perform Applying FITT

145pmbs 135mbps. 145pmbs Intensity and
Progression
Week Perform Perform Perform
3 Zumba at Zumba at Zumba at Period of

Design more fitness program to your fitness goal. Design your fitness program for
your muscular strength as well. Like your biceps, shoulder muscle, chest, legs and
etc. Applying FITT and Exercise principle. I’m sure it will be fun and exciting. Fitness
is a lifelong journey to ha healthy lifestyle make yours an exciting and fun filled.
Enjoy.
