1 Course Title: Advanced Physical Education: Concepts of Fitness, Strength, and Conditioning Content Area: Health and Physical Education Grade Level(s): Course Description: This course will be offered as an elective in addition to a student s required physical education class. CFSC will offer an in-depth opportunity for students to learn about various fitness, strength, and conditioning concepts. The two primary goals of CFSC are: for students to learn the necessary information and skills needed to improve their individual fitness levels on their own without the assistance of trainers, memberships, and athletic programs; and to improve the five components of their personal fitness. This will be achieved by learning about current and up-to-date concepts while giving students the opportunity to improve their health and fitness during various routines in class. The course will utilize the fitness center, gymnasiums, various fields, the track, and more. CFSC will not be limited to the fitness center, as students will spend time learning in the classroom as well. The course is suitable for those who are new to fitness and are anxious to learn about it, in season and out of season athletes, and/or anyone who wants to improve his or her health and wellness during the school day. Students interested in taking the course must have a good standing in previous PE classes (>91 average) and a recommendation from their previous PE classes.

13 Individuals are more likely to engage in physical activity, such as weight training, if they understand its benefits and have a firm knowledge base of different routines and regimens. Understanding the concept of exercise progression is essential to building both muscular strength and endurance. Combining a unique blend of training methods and modalities with basic body movements will result in positive fitness gains. In addition to cardiovascular training, strength training is a central component in achieving one s desired body weight and/or body fat percentage. Essential Questions: What is the advantage of combining and utilizing different strength training modalities? How can a strength cycle be used to improve maximum weight on lifts? How can someone create a workout routine using both weightlifting and bodyweight training? What are the key benefits of interval and circuit training?

Trending Exercise Methods Unit Summary: Many people fall out of their exercise routines because it becomes boring to them, mundane and stagnant. In recent years, there has been a wave of trending exercise methods that allow people to change things up in an attempt to eliminate the boredom while still improving fitness and overall wellness. Cross-fit, mud-runs, wearable technology, spin, themed 5k races, paddle boarding, and various types of Yoga are several examples of modern fitness trends that have swept the nation in their own unique way. In addition, advanced training tools such as kettle bells, TRX suspensions, battle ropes, and multiuse weighted balls have had a significant impact on the way people exercise. Exposing students to these fitness trends and modalities is a good way to ignite their excitement for health and wellness as well as offer a unique approach to fitness rather than the simple lifting and running.
