Handouts and assignment for Physical Education 30 - Outcome 30.8: Physiology and Biomechanics
To give students an aid to help them track their food intake and track their exercise.
MyFitnessPal is a website ( www.myfitnesspal.com ) that helps people count their calories by entering it into an online diary, as well as keep track of their exercise. • Exercise Tracker: MyFitnessPal has more than 350 exercise stored in its database, and it shows how much each person burns during each activity, based on their specific height, weight, and gender. It includes most cardio and strength training workouts, as well as yoga and Pilates. • The app’s calorie counter is basically an online diary of each MyFitnessPal member’s intake. The counter allows members to set daily goals, and the app can add multiple foods at once. It also automatically stores food and meals that members eat often, which makes them easy to find when they eat them again and need to log them. • MyFitnessPal is not a one-size-fits-all app. Personal diet profiles can be changed to fit a person’s specific needs, whether they are on a strict diet or have certain recommendations from their doctor or dietitian. The program calculates caloric need based on height, weight, gender, and lifestyle.

Passport for Life supports the awareness, assessment, development and advancement of physical
literacy among students and teachers. The four components of physical literacy that are assessed in
Passport for Life are Active Participation, Living Skills, Fitness Skills and Movement Skills. Passport for Life combines student responses to online questionnaires with student data resulting from
their participation in fitness and movement skill tasks that teachers administer and observe.
Based on the results of the physical literacy assessments, the Passport for Life website generates a
Student Passport and a Class Passport. These passports highlight gaps in students’ physical literacy
levels and support teachers in adapting their programming and instruction to provide targeted lessons
that are relevant at both the class and student- levels. The passport results are user-friendly for
teachers, parents and students and offer these target groups a platform to engage in meaningful
conversation about student physical literacy assessment outcomes to support future improvements.

Early in the year, have the students fill in the questionnaire and begin to think of activities they would enjoy participating in. This will help the teacher make decisions regarding class activities and individual time for students. Spend some time in a lab allowing students to find activities that will work on areas identified in their FITT plan (for example, if they want to improve their flexibility on the sit and reach by 10 cm, have them research exercises that increase flexibility). Students will add these exercises to their portfolio. Allow students time to work on their FITT plans during designated times throughout the year. Students can track results through FItstats fitness tests performed 5 times per year.

My plan for my 21st century competency dealt with critical thinking and creativity in designing a personal skill related fitness plan in my Physical Education 8 class. The assignment I had the students complete was a personal plan in an area, of a sport or activity, that they struggled in. Students were encouraged to develop skills in an activity or sport they enjoyed. This was determined in order to develop a physical education program that was designed for their needs. In order to develop this skill plan, students were taught about the components of skill related fitness, different types of muscle fibers, and different planning methods (i.e. F.I.T.T.) in class one. They were then given two classes to work on their plan. Throughout the year, they were given class time to work on their own plans and practice what they had put down on paper.
This resource is a series of posters that can be used for Middle Years and High School Physical Education.
This website is full of ideas for developing physical literacy and delivering quality sport.
Active for Life brings you this collection of physical literacy lesson plans for leaders
and educators who want to enrich their programs.
Each of these 10 lessons takes about 30 minutes to complete with a group of children.
At the end of each program, kids will have enjoyed a series of fun activities, and they
will have taken one more step in developing physical literacy.

The Ready, Check, Go! Series is a physical activity tracker designed to help children and their parents/guardians understand the importance and enjoyment of incorporating regular daily physical activity in ways that suit their personal beliefs and needs.
The Ready, Check, Go! Series includes:
- Participant/Student Workbook to track physical activity (ages 9-11 and 12-14), and Leader/Teacher, and Parent Guides
- Activities to promote the importance of participating in regular physical activity
- Goal setting worksheets to help enhance physical activity behaviours
- Inclusive activities for children of all abilities
The objective of this program is to help children, youth and their parents/guardians understand the importance of regular physical activity; their current physical activity behaviours; and strategies to help them engage in more physical activities. This knowledge can help increase the amount of physical activity children and youth engage in, value and enjoy, in ways that suit their personal beliefs and needs. Specifically, the Ready, Check, Go! is a learning activity to help children aged 9-14 discover more about:
- How physically active they are on typical day;
- The different types of activities they undertake, when, and for how long;
- The intensity (moderate- to vigorous) of their physical activity;
- Identifying ways that they can be more active.

I adapted an assignment designed for younger students to fit my class and the use of technology. Students were put into groups and given an iPad. I put up the QR Codes listed at the bottom of this page around the gym in 3 separate groups for the types of dance covered. The groups then had to scan their QR Codes and work collaboratively together to create an original dance piece. After presenting their choreography to the class they were to then teach their peers the basic steps of the dance style they learned.
