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.

Examples of health related components of fitness

• Cardiorespiratory endurance-jogging, swimming, cycling, roller blading

• Flexibility-stretching

• 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.

Body composition

• BMI, body fat skinfold test, Hydrostatic Weighing

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.

Examples of skill related components of fitness

• Speed- sprinting in races, when playing golf, the speed of your arms and upper body in creating the swing are vital in driving the ball over a long distance.

Balance

• Gymnastics, ballet, and also contact sports where having good balance may prevent you being tackled to the floor!

• Agility- shuttle run, dodging tackles, moving in tennis/badminton

Coordination

• hand-eye coordination in racket sports and the co-ordination to use the opposite arm and leg when sprinting

Power

• a sprint start, a shot-put or javelin throw, long-jump, or broad jump/vertical jump

Reaction time

• responding to the gun at the start of a race, but also a goalkeeper saving a penalty, a badminton player reacting to a smash shot, or swing a baseball bat to hit the ball.

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

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 skillsSkill 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.

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 homeuse 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.)
