  1. Analyze (with guidance) personal fitness appraisal data – gather and compare data over time – all three fitness areas in this outcome.
  1. Make comparisons over time to personal progress and to standards – determine strengths and weaknesses.
  1. Create and implement fitness plans (F.I.T.T.)
  1. Compare own fitness results and participation over time to evaluate success of plan
Students must answer:How can I stay safe while challenging my fitness?How do I know what fitness looks, sounds and feels like? What standards can I refer to?Why is participation important in physical education?How do I know when I am engaging in moderate to vigorous movement activity?Why are all three components of fitness important? Why can’t I just work out?Why does my plan look different from other people? Why can’t I just follow “the plan”?How do I create a good fitness plan that will lead to success?
Health USC7.1 - Commit to personal safety practices while acquiring basic first aid knowledge and skills.PE7.2 - Examine personal daily nutritional habits and fluid intake practices that support healthy participation in various types of movement activities and the attainment or maintenance of healthy body weight and body composition.
Know:How do each of the following factors influence development of personal standards?
  • cultural norms
  • societal norms,
  • family values,
  • peer pressures,
  • mass media,
  • traditional knowledge,
  • white privilege,
  • legacy of colonization,
  • heterosexual privilege

Know:
  • Nutrient contributions
  • Essential nutrients
  • Ways to monitor food intake and fluid intake
  • Places to inquire about nutritional requirements of professional athletes

  • Malnutrition and dehydration-related injuries and illnesses
Vocabulary: energy, nutrient, vitamin, essential, diet, consume, consumption, hydration, resources, detriments, malnutrition, dehydration, body composition, Examples of sports and energy drinks
Student Tasks:
  1. How do you define personal commitment? And how do you promote it in yourself?
  1. Investigate concept of resiliency and determine its importance and how to promote it in yourself and others.
  1. Analyze when personal standards may be reinforced or challenged.
  1. Examine factors (+, -) that influence one’s commitment to personal standards.
  1. Analyze discrepancies between what people say the commit to and what they show they commit to.

How is resiliency important to actualizing our personal standards?What other factors impact our ability to live out our personal standards?How do personal standards affect the choices we make?What strategies and supports help us actualize our personal standards so we can make healthy choices?How does our inner self help us be true to ourselves?How do values and virtues impact our personal standards and the choices we make?Why are nutrients so important? What are essential nutrients? What makes them essential?How does our lifestyle affect the choices we can make in terms of food and drink? How is everything connected?Why is water so important? How can I make natural water sources safe?How do malnutrition and dehydration affect humans?Why are energy and sports drinks not the best choice?How can I determine my health?
PE7.3 - Demonstrate an understanding of the effects of exercise and inactivity on the skeletal system (i.e., increased/ decreased bone density, increased/decreased bone mass) and the function (i.e., shape support, protection) of the skeletal system in relation to participating in movement activities.

  3. How are our muscles, ligaments and skeleton all connected?
  4. Why use correct terminology?
PE7.4 - Examine and apply strategies to incorporate cross-training using different movement activities to improve fitness and skill (e.g., aerobic dance develops coordination and agility used in basketball; golf and hockey develop hand/eye coordination/striking skills) while participating in movement activities.
