Exercise & Movement

Description

What value do you place on Exercise and Movement in your lifestyle? This immersion subject will focus explicitly on having students develop a specific component of fitness through increasing their exercise and movement.

Using a project-based learning model student will create an individualised fitness goal. Examples might include: “I’d like to run a 4 minute kilometre” or, “I’d like to be able to complete 100 consecutive pushups” or perhaps, “I’d like to lose 5 kgs.”

Students would then create an exercise and movement roadmap to see if they can reach their fitness goal (or demonstrate some improvement) over the course of the unit.

Course Aims

The knowledge, understanding, skills and dispositions students develop through movement encourage ongoing participation across their lifespan and should in turn lead to positive health outcomes. This subject will allow students to create a fitness profile of themselves and in turn develop a specific area of their health. They will be asked to make adaptations to their lifestyle both in and outside school life.

By the end of the course, students will have developed a broad range of skills, including:

• Fitness Profiling

• Pre and Post-testing

• Collaboration

• Training Program Scaffolding

• Evaluation

Assessment

Students will complete a comprehensive evaluation of their progress throughout the term including any limitations to success.
