Tennis is one of the simplest total-body workouts you will be able to get. Playing
tennis 2 to 3 times per week also boosts your stamina, coordination, and bone density.
Also, we develop flexibility, balance, speed, and agility.
Propriety and proper technique will improve your game still as keep injuries un-

For today’s lesson, you are expected to engage in moderate to vigorous physical
activities that can lead to improved physical fitness. Perform drills in tennis to gauge
your skills in sports.

Activity 3: “WARM YOU UP”

Table tennis is a non-contact sport, but injuries are often acquired when athletes
suddenly changed direction or twisted their body quickly, leading to pulled muscles and
other injury problems.

To prepare yourself for the physical activity, we will start the lesson with general
or sports- specific warm-up exercises.

What to do:
1. Do light jogging around the venue to gradually elevate your heart rate.
2. Stretch your legs, arms, back, and neck for 5 minutes.

The time allotted to properly warm-up your body can spell the difference between
performing well and getting yourself injured. Spend about 5-10 minutes of your warm-up
routine. Execute either general warm-up exercises like jogging and running, or sports
specific exercises.

History
The French adapted the game of handball from Ireland and devised methods of
protecting the hands by wrapping them with cords, wearing gloves, and eventually by
using a paddle. The game was first intended to be played on a lawn, but eventually the
used on hard surfaces grew in popularity. The name “tennis" was probably derived from
the French term tenez, which means, “take it and play.” The game was first introduced
to the United States in 1874.

Nature of the Game

Tennis is considered by many to be one of the best forms of recreation. The

pace of the game can be set to the individual player’s ability. Speed, agility,
coordination, and endurance can be developed and indeed are needed to play a good
game of tennis.

Tennis can be played both indoors and outdoors. There are two separate games
of tennis. One is the singles game, which has two participants, one opposing the other.
The doubles game, which has four participants, has two players teaming up to compete
against another team of two. Mixed doubles are also played. This is when a team has
one male and one female member.

Safety/Etiquette
1. Remove all tennis balls from the court before play begins.

Injury Prevention and Risk Management
Tennis injuries are generally defined as either cumulative (overuse) or acute
(traumatic) injuries. These injuries occur overtime due to stress on the muscles, joints,
and soft tissues without proper time to heal. They begin as a small, nagging ache pain,
and can grow into a debilitating injury if they aren’t treated early.
Many sports injuries result from overuse, lack of proper warm-up or poor
conditioning. Safety precautions are recommended to help prevent tennis injuries like
warming up thoroughly prior to play, wearing the right tennis shoes with skid-resistant
soles, using good technique in the different tennis movements, cleaning of courts before
play to check for slippery spots or debris, getting adequate rest and time for recovery
after each play, and staying hydrated.

Push-up activity will engage yourself into a health- related physical fitness test that will
gauge your muscular strength of your upper body extremities.
Purpose – to measure strength of upper extremities
Equipment - exercise mats or any clean mat
Procedure 
For the Performer:
Lie down on the mat; face down in standard push-up position: palms on the mat
about shoulder width, fingers pointing forward, and legs straight, parallel, and
slightly apart, with the toes supporting the feet.

FOR BOYS: Straighten the arms, keeping the back and knees straight,
then lower the arms until there is a 90-degree angle at the elbows (upper arms are
parallel to the floor).

FOR GIRLS: With knees in contact with the floor, straightens the arms,
keeping the back straight, then lowers the arms until there is a 90-degree angle at
the elbows (upper arms are parallel to the floor).

Perform as many repetitions as possible, maintaining a cadence of 20 push-

ups per minute. (2 seconds going down and 1 second going up).
a) A maximum of 50 push-ups for boys and 25 push-ups for girls.
For the Partner:

a) As the performer assumes the position of push-up, start counting as the

performer lowers his/her body until he/she reaches 90-degree angle at the

should be close to elbow level to accurately judge the 90-degree bend.
b) Make sure that the performer executes the push-ups in the correct form.
c) The test is terminated when the performer can no longer execute the push-
ups in the correct form, is in pain, voluntarily stops, or cadence is broken.

Scoring: record the number of push-ups made.
