This is the Grade 7 Physical Education Quarter 2 Module 1, “Strengths and Weaknesses in Skill-Related Fitness Activities,” a self-learning module (SLM) from the DepEd Alternative Delivery Mode, First Edition, 2020. It is for Grade 7 learners studying at home or in class. It helps them look back at their physical fitness test results, find the skills they are strong and weak in, and set goals to improve.
What learners will learn
After going through this module, learners are expected to:
- Undertake physical activity and physical fitness assessments (PE7PF-IIah-23).
- Review goals based on assessment results (PE7PF-IIa24).
Lessons in this module
The module has one lesson:
- Lesson 1: Identifying Strengths and Weaknesses in Skill-Related Fitness Activities. Learners review their skill-related fitness test scores from the first quarter, see which tests they did well or poorly in, and set fitness goals with matching physical activities.
Skill-related fitness and how it is tested
Skill-related fitness covers the abilities you use in sports and games. The module’s Physical Fitness Scorecard lists six components and the test used for each:
| Component | Test | What is recorded |
|---|---|---|
| Coordination | Juggling | Score |
| Agility | Hexagon Agility Test | Time clockwise and counterclockwise, then the average |
| Speed | 40-meter sprint | Time |
| Power | Standing Long Jump | Distance in centimeters, two trials |
| Balance | Stork Balance Stand Test | Time on the right foot and left foot |
| Reaction Time | Stick Drop Test | Three trials and the middle score |
The module also links fitness components to everyday Filipino activities and games. Examples include running away from stray dogs (speed), walking with books on your head (balance), avoiding being tagged in habulan (agility), throwing heavy objects (power), hitting tin cans with a slingshot (coordination), and quickly covering a frying pan that catches fire (reaction time). Games such as Patintero, Tumbang Preso, and Hopscotch (Piko) also appear.
Physical activity and health
The module uses the World Health Organization (WHO) definition: physical activity is any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that uses energy. This includes working, playing, doing household chores, travelling, and recreation.
Physical activity is not the same as exercise. Exercise is a type of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and done to improve or keep up physical fitness. Other activity, such as walking to school or helping at home, also benefits health.
Based on WHO’s 2010 recommendations, children and young people aged 5 to 17 should:
- Get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day.
- Know that more than 60 minutes a day gives extra health benefits.
- Do mostly aerobic activity, with vigorous activities that strengthen muscle and bone at least 3 times a week.
Regular activity improves muscle, heart, lung, and bone health. It also lowers the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some cancers, depression, and falls, and it helps with weight control. The module stresses that some physical activity is better than none.
Setting goals with the FITT principle
In the “What I Can Do” part, learners make a one-week fitness plan using the FITT principle:
- Frequency: how many days a week you do the activities
- Intensity: how much effort you put in
- Time: how many minutes you spend on the activities
- Type: what activities you will do
The plan covers flexibility, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, and muscular endurance. In the Additional Activities, learners carry out the plan and keep a checklist of activities done and not done.
How to use this module
The module follows the usual SLM parts: What I Know (pretest), What’s In, What’s New, What Is It, What’s More, What I Have Learned, What I Can Do, Assessment (posttest), and Additional Activities.
- Learners: Start with the pretest to check what you already know. Write all answers in your activity notebook or on a separate sheet, not on the module. Keep your first-quarter fitness test scores and personal fitness contract ready, because the “Fitness Goals Revisited” activity asks you to copy those scores. End with the posttest.
- Parents: Help your child find a safe space for the fitness plan, and encourage honest use of the answer key, which is at the end of the module.
- Teachers: Give learners the scorecard answer sheet the activity mentions. Many activities, such as the goal-setting table, the 3-2-1 reflection, and the weekly fitness plan, have varied answers, so check them by hand.
Frequently asked questions
What grade and quarter is this PE module for?

Physical Activity and Improving One’s Health
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines physical activity as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure – including activities undertaken while working, playing, carrying out household chores, travelling, and engaging in recreational pursuits.
The term “physical activity” should not be confused with “exercise”, which is a subcategory of physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and aims to improve or maintain one or more components of physical fitness. Beyond exercise, any other physical activity that is done during leisure time, going from one place to another, or as part of a person’s work has a health benefit. Further, both moderate and vigorous intensity physical activities improve health.
Recommended Levels of Physical Activity for Health
(Global Recommendations on Physical Activity for Health, WHO, 2010)
For children and young people 5–17 years old, physical activity includes play, games, sports, transportation, recreation, physical education or planned exercise, in the context of family, school, and community activities. In order to improve cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, bone health, cardiovascular and metabolic health biomarkers, and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression, the following are recommended:
- Children and young people aged 5–17 years old should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous-intensity physical activity daily.
- Physical activity having greater than 60 minutes daily will provide additional health benefits.
- Most of the daily physical activities should be aerobic. Vigorous-intensity activities should be incorporated, including those that strengthen muscle and bone, at least 3 times per week.
Regular physical activity of moderate intensity – such as walking, cycling, or doing sports – has significant benefits for health. At all ages, the benefits of being physically active outweigh potential harm, for example through accidents. Some physical activity is better than doing none. By becoming more active throughout the day in relatively simple ways, people can quite easily achieve the recommended activity levels. The regular and adequate levels of physical activity result in:
- improved muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness;
- improved bone and functional health;
- reduced risk of hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, various types of cancer (including breast cancer and colon cancer), and depression;
- reduced risk of falls as well as hip or vertebral fractures; and
- conditions fundamental to energy balance and weight control.
