Abstract

One of the objective of physical education is to improve the cardiovascular endurance among students in secondary schools. Nevertheless, existing data indicated that the cardiovascular endurances amongst secondary school students are not satisfactory. This article aims to explain what is meant with cardiovascular endurance, the current principles of training and status of teaching physical education and intervention programmes to overcome such problems in teaching physical education.

Salah satu objektif pendidikan jasmani adalah untuk meningkatkan daya tahan kardiovaskular dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah. Namun demikian, terdapat data yang menunjukkan bahawa tahap daya tahan kardiovaskular dalam kalangan pelajar sekolah menengah tidak memuaskan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menerangkan apakah yang dimaksudkan dengan daya tahan kardiovaskular, prinsip-prinsip latihan, trend dan status pengajaran subjek pendidikan jasmani masa sekarang dan program intervensi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut dalam pengajaran pendidikan jasmani.
