Description

Inactivity is a primary factor in the explosion of individuals who are either overweight or obese. This course will focus on the fitness concepts and activities teachers use in K-12 schools that address poor fitness levels, fitness testing methodsm and data collection. HPE majors will undergo a complete fitness test and analyze the results using the standards for adult individuals. Majors will develop personal fitness goals and a plan to achieve or maintain appropriate levels of fitness. An emphasis is placed on planning appropriate learning tasks, developing individual fitness goals and plans, and organizing school-wide events to improve fitness levels of K-12th grade students.
