Early in the fall students’ fitness levels will be assessed in the following areas: cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular strength and muscular endurance. From these assessments we will develop a baseline in which we will use to set personal fitness goals. We will explore fitness activities designed to improve all areas of fitness. Our goal is that by the end of the year students will improve their scores on their baseline fitness tests through regular cardiovascular endurance training, muscular endurance training, and activities designed to increase current levels of fitness. Students will be introduced to life-long activities designed to increase their likelihood of exercising in the future. Students will understand the benefits that regular exercise can provide for a person’s mental, physical and social health. During 10th grade you will: o Complete and assess your personal fitness levels using Fitnessgram testing standards o Set realistic personal fitness goals o Correctly identify the difference between anaerobic/aerobic activities o Describe the physiological effects of exercise o Identify fitness components and understand how those fitness components are essential to o Develop individual skills associated with teamwork, problem solving and leadership Possible Activities: o Soccer o Recreation Games o Fitness testing o Disc Golf o Badminton o Golf o Strength Training o Lacrosse o Swimming o Floor Hockey o Endurance Training o Others?
