4 Unit Learning Targets: The Students will be able to Students will understand the relationship between physical fitness and exercise. Students will understand how to take pulse and compute their own resting heart rate and target heart rate. Students will assess their own personal fitness and develop their own fitness plan. Students will be able to name the five components of a good goal. Students will brainstorm what physical fitness activities they like to do to increase their fitness levels. Students will understand the FITT principle. Students will understand the five major components of fitness. Suggested Activities: Including Differentiated Strategies (DI) Designing and Implementing a personal fitness plan Personal Fitness Evaluation Calculate Resting Heart Rate, Target Heart Rate, and Maximum Heart Rate Read in Green Book Chapter 11 Incorporating Adventure related Fitness Activities Review and practice Goal Setting Review FITT stands for the basic philosophy of what is necessary to gain a training effect from an exercise program. The FITT acronym represents: 1. Frequency How often a person exercises 2. Intensity How hard a person exercises 3. Time How long a person exercises 4. Type What type of activity a person does when exercising Health-related fitness incorporates the five major components of fitness related to improved health: 1. Cardio-respiratory endurance is the ability of the blood vessels, heart, and lungs to take in, transport, and utilize oxygen. This is a critically important component of fitness because it impacts other components of fitness and decreases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. 2. Muscular strength is the maximum amount of force a muscle or muscle group can exert. 3. Muscular endurance is the length of time a muscle or muscle group

5 can exert force prior to fatigue. 4. Flexibility refers to the range of motion in the joints. 5. Body composition shows the amount of fat versus lean mass (bone, muscle, connective tissue, and fluids). While some fat is essential for insulation and providing energy, too much fat can cause serious health problems. Skill-related fitness refers to components of physical fitness that contribute to the ability to successfully participate in sports: 1. Agility is the ability to rapidly and accurately change the direction of the whole body while moving in space. 2. Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium while stationary or moving. 3. Coordination is the ability to use the senses and body parts in order to perform motor tasks smoothly and accurately. 4. Power is the amount of force a muscle can exert over time. 5. Reaction time is the ability to respond quickly to stimuli. 6. Speed is the amount of time it takes the body to perform specific tasks while moving.
