    Course Description:

    This course is a combination of classroom and activity-based learning activities with a focus on proper nutrition and the mastery of skills and concepts necessary for students to become accomplished monitors of their personal lifetime fitness. Through participation, students learn to compare the fitness benefits in a variety of individual and team activities.

    Students become proficient in the use of a variety of assessments, measurement devices, exercise equipment, and web and community resources. Assigned reading and writing assignments, which include activity journals and portfolios, broaden the physical education experience and contribute to the literacy of students. 

    The teacher directly supervises classroom and participation sessions and serves as both facilitator and instructor working to individualize programs and outcomes for students. The Fitness Gram Physical Fitness Tests are used to establish individual baseline levels for designing fitness programs, to show improvement, and to provide students with personal information.
