Demonstrate Knowledge of Fitness Concepts, Principles, and Strategies
Looking toward their personal commitment to physical activity and their future, students design a one-month personal fitness plan. They also set goals for themselves and adjust their plan to best meet their goals. Students learn to transfer their knowledge of fitness to real-world situations. They identify the physical fitness requirements of future occupation choices. To expand on the variety of activities in which they participate, students identify available fitness resources in the community. They also analyze consumer physical fitness products and programs for use in their activity plans and learn the inherent risks associated with physical activity in extreme environments. When they can explain the role of physical activity in the prevention of disease, they can see the connections between current physical lifestyle habits and future health care costs.
