PHYSICAL EDUCATION
3is a self-assessment tool commonly used by fitness coaches or trainers to evaluate the safety of exercising based on a person's health history, current symptoms, and risk factors. Its questions are intended to identify any potential health risks associated with exercise, particularly the risk of sudden cardiac events in those with undiagnosed heart conditions. This tool can also assist trainers in creating an effective exercise plan tailored to an individual's needs.

7Are a series of tests that measures and monitors students' physical fitness level. The series of tests assess the five components of physical fitness that make up total fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
Fitness assessments
8Is an effective strategy to monitor and assess students’ fitness levels. It can also help students understand how healthy they are by learning about the five components of fitness and how to set goals to improve their health-related fitness.
Fitness testing
9Five components of fitness headings: (5)
Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and Body Composition.
10is the ability of the heart and lungs to work together to provide the needed oxygen and fuel to the body during sustained workloads. Examples would be jogging, cycling and swimming. A multi-stage fitness test or a one-mile run.
Cardiovascular endurance
11Is the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the bench press, leg press or bicep curl.
Muscular strength
12Is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing. Examples would be cycling, step machines and elliptical machines.
Muscular endurance
13Is the ability of each joint to move through the available range of motion for a specific joint. Examples would be stretching individual muscles or the ability to perform certain functional movements such as the lunge.
Flexibility
14Is the amount of fat mass compared to lean muscle mass, bone and organs. This can be measured using student’s height and weight.
Body composition
