1 Los Angeles Valley College Department of Kinesiology Kin Aerobic Super Circuit Instructor: Sandra Perry Location: South Gym room 200 Office: South Gym 5 Day: T/TH 11:20-12:45 Office Hours: By Appointment Course Description: In this level 2 class the student will progress from their introductory level to a beginning level in this group circuit training class. This will involve the student increasing their intensity and duration with additional stations added to their rotation in their fitness program. This progression will further enhance the student's adaptation in their cardiovascular and muscular development. Fitness assessments will be used to measure student's progress and to modify student's fitness goals. This aerobic super circuit class (aka: fitness center class) is one of our most popular activity classes and a beneficial class for weight management. Course Objectives: 1. Design, implement and evaluate individualized exercise program based on health history, physical fitness assessments and fitness goals in comparison to their level 1 introductory baseline level. Increase in workout is an outcome measurement of this level 2 course. 2. Students will demonstrate correct form and technique on cardiovascular and weight training machines and increase their number of rotations in the circuit in this level 2 class compared to their level 1 performance. An activity meter will be used to chart the student s progression from their level 1 baseline performance. 3. Apply and recognize the concepts of teamwork, cooperation, communication and respect for each other. 4. Differentiate between aerobic and anaerobic exercise and assess the value of both. 5. Students will perform increases in their work output by demonstrating longer duration exercises and increases in intensity. Students will also demonstrate a slower more controlled movement of all of their exercises performed at each station. 6. Perform, record, and interpret assessment scores of cardiovascular fitness assessment using the step test, blood pressure, and resting pulse rate and chart the progression from level Determine the student's THR (target heart rate) changes from their baseline level 1 introduction to the fitness center. 8. Demonstrate of improved form, alignment, and execution of exercises at stations from the student's level 1 baseline performance.

2 9. The student will perform increases in their cardiovascular capacity by sustaining longer bouts on the cardiovascular equipment of their choice. Increases should be seen from the student's level 1 baseline performance. 10. The student will demonstrate additional stretches in this level 2 class to show their progression in their skill and capacity in their physiology to perform more skills from their level 1 introductory course. Course Level Student Leaning Outcome: Upon successfully completing this course: 1. Students will perform the post step test skill demonstration to show their cardiovascular improvement from their level 1 baseline measurement. 2. Students will also demonstrate an increase in their overall rotation through the circuit from their level 1 baseline introductory level. Assessment Measurement: 1. Faculty members will demonstrate and evaluate the post step test with the students and instructors will chart the student s increase in their rotation in the circuits. Grading: Students grade will be based on five components; 1.) Hours 2.) Completion of circuits 3.) One final exam 4.) Post step- test, push-ups, curl ups, and sit and reach. 5.) Check in meeting. Totaling a maximum of 500 points. COMPONENTS POINTS Hours 34 or more or less than 0 Circuits 34 or more or less than 0 Final Exam 100 Post Assessments 75 Check in 25
