What is rpfstt?
The Revised Physical Fitness Test was conceived based from the finest books written by distinct expert in Physical fitness. The Fit kids, 1999, authored by Kenneth Cooper and The American College of Sports Medicine ( ACSM ) , are the sources of the Revised Physical Fitness Test.Aparecio Mequi, the author of the Revised Physical Fitness Test manual, made some modifications on the different fitness test items to conform with the lifestyle of the Filipino children.Body Mass Index (BMI), used by The Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) of the Department of Science and technology (DOST) to evaluate thenutritional status of students, enable us to know the fitness level of each students and discover his potential in sports. After knowing their strength and weakness, the teachers can determine what sports is best for their students
What material is used in alternative methods of producing iodized salt?
Alternative Methods of Producing Iodized SaltAbstractDue to the high incidence of iodine deficiency diseases (IDD) in the Philippines, iodized salt has become quite popular on the market. The aim of this research project is to discover different methods of making cheap and accessible iodized salt. Different gadgets were designed to mix the salt and potassium iodate (KIO3) adequately. The iodometric titration method was used to test for the iodine content of the manufactured salt. To prove the efficiency and consistency of the gadget, the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was performed. It has been shown that the iodine has been evenly distributed at 100 ppm, which is the standard amount. Thus, satisfactory results have been obtained. However, ways to improve the appearance and stability of the salt under storage may still be pursued.IntroductionIodine deficiency diseases (IDD) are very common in the Philippines, especially in the mountainous regions and in regions located in inland areas without direct access to the sea. In 1987, about 3.5 percent of the population was affected with IDD, according to the goiter prevalence survey done by Food and Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI).Selected ReferencesDepartment of Health.
