Exercise Science Fitness Assignment

I will be updating this assignment throughout the week - this is what you can work on (you need to make good use of your time and be self-directed!) while I am doing individual interviews.

You were given a handout 2 weeks ago that had information about health related and skill related components of fitness... Please complete that information and use that as a starting point to create your personal fitness program (using the FITT principle).
COMPLETED BOOKLET DUE MONDAY.

Describe your fitness goal (using proper terminology and how it relates to a component of physical fitness) and why you are choosing this goal.  It can be the same goal (likely) as the one you described earlier in the course.

Using the FITT principle - create a 6 week fitness program that you can follow that is specific to your goal.  Find actual specific workouts (online, in an app, that you are already doing), list them in detail, including the dates you are going to do them,  and make sure that they are working toward the goal that you have set... Look up the principle of specificity and overload, and include that information in your plan.

Plan a pre-fitness test and post-fitness test to provide information about potential results.

Find an app/calendar/ plan to RECORD & provide evidence of your workouts.

DO THE WORKOUTS!

Interview Schedule

Digestive System

Here is a great website with information on the digestive system:

national geographic digestive system

Amazing real digestion video - we will watch this one together as a class...

Joints

Using the following links as reference, organize the notes provided (colour code, then cut and paste with pictures).  These will become part of your notes for exercise science.

Types of joints

Types of joints with pictures

Now that you are aware of the basic types of joints within the skeletal system - I would like you to think about possible problems and joint injuries (ankle, knee, wrist, spine, shoulder, hip etc...)  Choose one interesting joint injury or disease, research and post about it.  Include links, pictures, video etc.  Why did you choose this?

What is important to us?

Report cards are right around the corner - my marks are to be submitted on Nov 14, so we need to be up to date before then.  We have this week (minus post secondary day on Wednesday from 1pm on) and then a long weekend and 2 field trips (Wed - ice skating, Thurs - fit nation) to fit in our interviews.

First off, think about what is important to you in your learning.

I value curiosity, enjoyment & fun, engagement & ownership, having an open mind and pushing your limits.  I think that learning content can lead to more important lessons such as learning about yourself, finding your interests and passions, feeling confident and empowered.  We have this amazing opportunity in the coop, spending so much time together, having a chance to build relationships like no other group in the school.  Let's make the most of it.

Spend some time today completing blog posts & assignments (vital capacity lab, respiration lab, skeleton costume post, mechanics of breathing questions, circ. system study notes, red blood cell video, skeletal system colouring package, FITT question package, fitness goal / test / app or workout post...) and organizing yourself for our interview.  You must be PREPARED for our interview and come with the following portfolio evidence:

Biology - Evidence of learning: quizzes, tests, assignments, blog. Examples of your best work (blog post, assignment). Suggestions for improvement / learning goals.

Pillars - content (completion & quality of work), reflection on learning

Exercise Science - Evidence of learning: blog posts, assignments, heart rate, cardiovascular benefits of fitness, personal fitness ideas / goals, applications of learning.  Goals for second semester.

Pillars -  content, applying learning, setting goals

Super Fit - Field trips - written reflection on significance, enjoyment, learning from field trip experiences.  Specific example of pushing your limit.  Motivation, work ethic, participation.  Evidence?

Pillars - participation, reflection, motivation, fitness

What are you working on that can not be counted (in a traditional class)? Be prepared to tell me about it.

Skeletal System videos

From watching the video above, we just HAVE to learn more...
