Lesson Plan
 
Background- 7th grade students have assessed personal fitness by practicing the Fitnessgram test.  Students then compared these results to the Healthy Fitness Zone standards.  Using the SMART goal method, students created 2 fitness related goals.  These goals were used to design a one week personal fitness plan that students use to guide their after school physical activity.
 

Activity- Student blog post: Reflecting on progress of personal fitness plan.

 

Standards addressed:

3.1   Assess one’s own muscle strength, muscle endurance, aerobic capacity, flexibility, and body composition by using a scientifically based health-related fitness assessment.

3.2   Evaluate individual measures of physical fitness in relationship to patterns of physical activity.

3.3   Develop individual goals, from research-based standards, for each of the five components of health-related physical fitness.

3.4   Plan a weekly personal physical fitness program in collaboration with the teacher.

3.5   Participate in moderate to vigorous physical activity a minimum of four days each week.

3.6   Assess periodically the attainment of, or progress toward, personal physical fitness goals and make necessary adjustments to a personal physical fitness program.

 

Learning Objective:  Students will complete a weekly blog post that describes the progress they have made (or not) on their personal fitness plan. 
 
Each blog post should include the following information:
1.  What have you done this past week to meet your fitness goals?  Specific information about the physical activity performed by the student during the past week.  Students will describe this information using the FITT principle.
  • Frequency:  How many days did you exercise this week?
  • Intensity:  How hard did you work?  More specifically, were you in the training zone (60%-80% of max heart rate)?
  • Time- How long were your exercise sessions?
  • Type- What type of exercise did you perform?  Cardiovascular endurance?  Muscular strength?  Muscular endurance?
2.  Students will also refelct on their SMART goals (previously created to track personal fitness) and if they are progressing towards their goals. 
  • Have you made progress towards achieving your fitness goals? 
  • How do you know if you have made progress?

3.  Explain how you have included the following fitness training principles in your fitness plan.

  • overload
  • progression
  • specificity

    Matt, I love that you are promoting the healthy mind -healthy body aspect of PE … asking your students to think and reflect is so important.
