Procedure

  1. Warm-Up (5 minutes)

    • Begin with light, dynamic stretches for all muscle groups
    • Follow with 5 minutes of cardio exercises, such as jogging in place or jumping jacks
  2. Introduction to Fitness Components (10 minutes)

    • Define and explain the five components of fitness
      • Cardiorespiratory endurance: the ability of the heart and lungs to work efficiently during physical activity
      • Muscular endurance: the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to repeatedly contract against resistance
      • Muscular strength: the maximum amount of force a muscle or group of muscles can produce
      • Flexibility: the range of motion at a joint or group of joints
      • Body composition: the amount of fat versus non-fat (muscle, bone, organs, etc.) composition of the body
    • Discuss the importance of each component of fitness in overall health and wellness
  3. Activity Stations (15 minutes)

    • Divide students into groups and have each group rotate through stations designed to enhance each of the five components of fitness
    • Cardiorespiratory endurance: set up a cone course for students to run through, tracking their time with a stopwatch. Students can challenge themselves to beat their time with each attempt.
    • Muscular endurance: student pairs can use resistance bands to complete a series of exercises such as bicep curls or tricep extensions.
    • Muscular strength: provide dumbbells and set up exercises such as bench press or squats, focusing on proper form and technique.
    • Flexibility: lead students through a series of static stretches to improve flexibility in areas such as hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves.
    • Body composition: have students track their body composition through a body mass index (BMI) calculation and discuss healthy weight management strategies.
  4. Cool-Down (5 minutes)

    • End the class with a brief cool-down, consisting of static stretches and slow exercises to lower heart rate and reduce risk of injury.
