Optimize Energy Through Dance

Food Fuels for Energy
1. Carbohydrates (CHO) – preferred source of fuel during exercise (glycogen)
2. Fat – concentrated fuel used during rest and prolonged sub0maximal exercise
3. Protein – used for growth and repair (negligible use during exercise)

Energy is the ability or capacity to do work and is measured in calories or joules.

There are three energy systems:

1. ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate – an organic compound that provides energy to drive
many processes in living cells such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation.
2. Glycolytic System – the breakdown (lysis) of glucose and consists of a series of chemical
reactions that are controlled by enzymes
3. Oxidative System – also known as Krebs Cycle and the citric acid cycle. In this system,
carbohydrates and fats are the primary energy sources converted into ATP and this process
takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.
If we have enough oxygen present in the blood, then pyruvate, the product of glycolysis, is
shuttled to the mitochondria and we enter the oxidative energy system

Training long, slow distance can help us build an aerobic

base and help strengthen this oxidative system by
increasing your VO2 max, which is our ability to utilize
the oxygen we take in.

Aerobic vs Anaerobic
Aerobic exercise is any type of cardiovascular conditioning or “cardio”. During the cardiovascular
conditioning, you are breathing and heart rate increase for a sustained period. Oxygen is your main
energy source during aerobic workouts; therefore, Oxidative System energy is used.
Benefits of Aerobic Exercises:
 Reduce risk of heart attack
 Reduce risk of type 2 diabetes
 Recue risk of stroke
 Help lose weight and keep it off

HRC PEH, Grade 10, First Quarter Page 3 of 17

  Help lower and control blood pressure
 Increase stamina and reduce fatigue during exercise
 Activates immune systems, making you less likely to get colds or flu
 Strengthens the heart
 Boost’s mood
 Help you live longer than those who does not exercise

Anaerobic exercises involve quick burst of energy and are performed at maximum effort for a
short time. The energy system used are the ATP and Glycolytic System.
Benefits of Anaerobic Exercises:
 Build muscles
 Lose weight
 Maintain muscle mass as you age
 Strengthens bones
 Burns fat
 Increase stamina for daily activities like hiking, dancing, or playing

Activity # 1.

DANCE as Stress Reliever

People from different places enjoy dancing such as in schools, social venues, community
halls, our own home and even in social media through vlogs and tiktok. Dancing has become
popular way to be active and a healthy exercise program. Here are some reasons why dancing is a
popular stress reliever:
1. When the body feels good, the mind does too! The scientific reason for why dance could
act a stress reliever stems from the idea that when the body feels good, the mind does, too.
Any type of physical activity releases neurotransmitters and endorphins which serve to
alleviate stress. Endorphins are body’s natural pain killer to reduce stress and improve the
mind’s perception of the world. It causes the body to feel calm and optimistic. It also aids in
improving the quality of sleep, so that a few sleepless nights due to stress can be avoided
after dancing!
2. Dance offers a creative outlet for people to express their personalities in a safe
environment. Dancing offers an outlet for people to express who they are – through music,
movements or even costumes! Dancing helps you connect to whom who you really are

3. Dancing improves your physical health. From weight loss, to increased flexibility,
stronger bones and building muscle tone, dancing is a total body workout.

Introduction to Dance
The fundamental principle that dances is an art form or activity that utilizes the body and the
range of movement of which the body is capable. Unlike the movements performed in everyday living,
dance movements are not directly related to work, travel, or survival. Dance may, of course, be made
up of movements associated with these activities, as in the work dances common to many cultures, and
it may even accompany such activities.
HRC PEH, Grade 10, First Quarter Page 6 of 17
 But even in the most practical dances, movements that make up the dance are not reducible to those of
straightforward labor; rather, they involve some extra qualities such as self-expression, aesthetic
pleasure, and entertainment.
One of the most basic motives of dance is the expression and communication of emotion. People—
and even certain higher animals—often dance as a way of releasing powerful feelings, such as sudden
accesses of high spirits, joy, impatience, or anger. These motive forces can be seen not only in the
spontaneous skipping, stamping, and jumping movements often performed in moments of intense emotion,
but also in the more formalized movements of “set” dances, such as tribal war dances or festive folk dances.

Dance Genre:

1. Folk Dance - a dance developed by people that reflect the life of the people of a certain
country or region. (Wikipedia)
2. Modern Dance - a broad genre of western concert or theatrical dance, primarily arising out
of Germany and the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is often
considered to have emerged as a rejection of or rebellion against, classical ballet.
3. Ballroom Dance – a set of partner dance enjoyed socially and competitively around the
world. With the emergence of dance competition, it is now known as Dance sports.
4. Hip-hop Dance – also known as street dance styles primarily to hip-hop music or that have
evolved as part of hip-hop culture.

Before exploring our body with dance activities, we must assess our body if we are healthy enough to face
different genre of dance as we optimize our energies.
As Revised Physical Fitness Test Manual, the following are objectives of the following
activity:
1. To determine the level of fitness of students.
2. To identify strength and weaknesses for development and improvement.
3. To provide baseline data for selection of physical activities for enhancement of health and
skill performance.
4. To gather data for the development of norms and standards.
5. To motivate, guide and counsel pupils/students in selecting sports for recreation,
competition, and lifetime participation

Physical Fitness Test is a set of measures designed to determine a student’s level of

physical fitness. It is intended to test two categories of physical fitness commonly referred
to as “health-related” and “skill-related”.
Health-related components refer to those physical attributes which enable a person
to cope with the requirements of daily living such as:
 cardio-vascular endurance or stamina
 muscular strength and endurance
 flexibility
 appropriate body mass index (BMI)
Skill-related components are physical abilities that show potential for good
performance in certain skills (usually in sports) like:
 speed
 agility
 reaction time or quickness
 balance
 coordination

FITT Principle
- a principle that help us to create a workout plan that will be more effective in reaching our fitness goals.

Now that you have record the result of your physical fitness test, you have then determined your
strengths and weaknesses. With that fact, you are now ready to create your fitness plan. Let us try to use
FITT Principle to achieve this health goals.

The FITT Principle (or formula) is a great way of monitoring your exercise program. The key
components or training guidelines for an effective exercise program is spelled out with the acronym FITT

F – frequency – refers to the repetition of exercise undertaken or how often you exercise
I – intensity – refers to the amount of energy the exercise required or how hard you exercise
T – time – refers to the number of minutes or hours you spend exercising or how long you exercise
T – type – refers to the type of exercise undertaken or what kind of exercise you do

Principles of FITT
1. Overload Principle – the body adapt to stimulus, once the body has accepted then a
different stimulus is required to continue the change. In order for the muscle (including the
heart) to increase strength, it must be gradually stressed by working against a load greater
than it is used to.
2. Progressive Principle – means the body adapts to the initial overload, the overload
must be adjusted and increase gradually.
3. Recovery Principle – adaptation to physical activity occurs gradually and naturally,
but time must be allowed for the regenerate and build.
4. Reversibility Principle – all gains due to exercise will be lost if one does not continue to
exercise
5. Specificity Principle – training should be relevant and appropriate to the individuals
need to produce effective result
6. Variation Principle – training programs varies in intensity, duration, volume, and other
important aspects of practice

LINE DANCE HISTORY

The line dance is commonly performed to the tune of country music.
However, it surprisingly did not originate from any country or western place.
 The steps and the manner of dancing were believed to have coined from folk activities in ancient times.

 Another form believes to have contributed to this modern method is the Contra.

 Contra dancing is a folk dance in North America wherein the people joining in form two lines facing away
from each other.

 Together, they perform a series of dance steps. It was only during 1980s that the art of line dancing has
become popularly attuned to country songs.

How to execute Line dance?

 Most movements are performed using the legs and feet, while the advanced versions will include arms and
hands.

 Count is the term used for the movements done in this form of dancing. A single count or a single step is
equivalent to one music beat; hence for every movement or step a music beat is also taking place.

 A line dance is a choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of steps in which a group of people dance
in one or more lines or rows, all facing either each other or in the same direction, and executing the steps at
the same time.

 Line dancers are not in physical contact with each other.

 Line dancing is practiced and learned in country-western dance bars, social clubs, dance clubs and
ballrooms

 It is sometimes combined on dance programs with other forms of country western dance, such as two-step,
western promenade dances, and as well as western-style variants of the waltz, polka, and swing.

 Line dances have accompanied many popular music styles since the early 1970s including pop, swing, rock
and roll, disco, Latin (salsa suelta), rhythm and blues and jazz.

 Line dancing is a form of dance that takes place with a group of people. Participants line up in rows and
execute the same movements in a synchronized manner.

 Everyone dances alone, side by side, facing the same direction in lines or rows.
.... Each dance consists of a sequence of steps that are repeated throughout the music. Although a variety of
music may be used, the major emphasis is on country-and-western music.
Line dancing involves people standing in lines and performing dance
movements together.

HRC PEH, Grade 10, First Quarter Page 15 of 17

  It consists of patterned foot movements that are usually performed to several counts per sequence, and then
the sequence is repeated. The dances are done one-wall, two-wall, or four-wall.
 Now line dancing is considered an art form of its own, with its own terminology and standardized steps.
