Sample Activities:

 

·        PUSH-UP HOCKEY - Explain that the duration the muscle works against resistance influences muscle endurance. Demonstrate different kinds of push-ups that might be used to increase arm muscle endurance (e.g., line salute, wall, elevator, partner push-ups). Pair students and have them face each other, about 6 feet apart, in the traditional push-up position. One partner has a tennis ball. The object is to roll the ball between the arms of the partner. The partner tries to stop the ball with one hand while remaining in the push-up position. A goal is scored when the ball rolls between the arms of the partner. Time play for 30 seconds, allow a brief rest and then have the partners play for one minute. The final game is played for two minutes. After the game, brainstorm the effects of the longer game and the need for progression.

 

·        FIT DELAY - Students need to understand and apply appropriate exercise sequences when considering a workout plan. This teacher-directed activity leads students through seven parts of a workout. Students are always one step behind the teacher. The teacher begins with a warm-up but students do not start it until the teacher moves to flexibility. After completing the entire sequence, students defend the sequence of activities.
-        Warm-up
-        Flexibility
-        Muscle strength and endurance
-        Cardiorespiratory endurance
-        Cool down
-        Restretch
-       Hydrate (drink water)


Variation: Small groups develop an example of one phase and, in order, lead the class through the appropriate phase.
