2. Health Related Fitness • Body composition- a ratio of body fat relative to other body tissues • Cardiovascular Endurance- a measure of the hearts ability to efficiently deliver oxygen through the blood to the other muscles in order to maintain vigorous exercise • Flexibility- the ability to use one’s joints fully in order to prevent muscle injury • Muscular Endurance- the ability of muscles to exercise many times without getting tired • Muscular Strength- the amount of force put forth by a muscle or muscle group.

3. Examples of health related components of fitness • Cardiorespiratory endurance-jogging, swimming, cycling, roller blading • Flexibility-stretching

4. Muscular strength- Max bench press, one squat, 1leg press. • Muscular endurance- the most amount of sit –ups in one minute, performing lifting weights for a period of time.

5. Body composition • BMI, body fat skinfold test, Hydrostatic Weighing

6. Skill Related Fitness • Agility- the ability to change directions quickly • Balance- the ability to remain upright while standing still or moving • Coordination- Coordination is the ability to use the body parts and senses together to produce smooth efficient movements. • Power- the ability to do strength performances quickly • Reaction time- the amount of time it takes to get moving • Speed- the ability to perform a specific movement or cover a distance in a short period of time.

13. Individual sports-Can you list some? • fencing • Boxing- muscular and cardiovascular endurance, Body composition • Archery- hand to eye coordination, upper body strength • Badminton-hand/eye coordination, footwork-agility • Bowling-balance • Cycling-balance, cardio endurance • Golf-hand/eye coordination • Pickleball-hand/eye coordination • Racquetball - hand/eye coordination • Tennis- hand/eye coordination, cardio endurance • Crossfit-all health and skill related components of fitness • Track and field-some events-high jump

14. Skill development • Learning cues- projects a clear description of a skill component into the students mind. • Enhance learner memory-(cookies) • Compresses information • Focus on one specific component of skill-follow through • Motivates to develop and refine skills Skill progression-starting with easier skills, and working up to harder skills - learn fundamentals and practice, practice, practice! Modified games/small groups 3 on 3, 4 on 4, 5 on 5 will allow for more touches on the ball-more practice, limits down time and standing around.

15. Opportunities outside of school • Intramurals/athletics-25 hours of various sports • Community parks and recreation • Little/senior/pony tail leagues • Pop warner football, Club soccer • gymnastics • Dance, cheerleading • Fitness-5ks to triathlons, swim clubs, bike clubs • Practicing at home use the tools provided from PE and practice them at home • High schools offer around 25 sports for boys and girls ( weightlifting, bowling, tennis, softball/baseball, track and field, lacrosse, etc.)
