Sample Activities:

 

·        WOGGLE - “Woggle” is a combination of walking and jogging. Students cover as much distance as possible in one 20-minute session, alternating as needed between jogging and walking. Students jog until they feel the need to walk and only walk until they feel capable of running. Students measure the distance covered in the 20-minute period then develop strategies to improve the distance in the next Woggle activity. Each student creates a chart to monitor his/her progress and repeats the activity three times per week. After a set number of Woggle sessions, students complete their chart and write a summary reflecting their impressions of the activity. Students share the results with the class.

 

·        TRAIN FOR GAIN -  For this activity, create a six-station aerobic circuit lasting 30 minutes. Students complete the circuit and related activities two to five times per week for six weeks. Each time the students participate in the circuit, they perform the designated activities for one minute with a one minute break between circuits. At each new interval, students record their pulse rate. Following the six week training circuit, students graph their pulse rates and include the graph in a report detailing the rationale for the physiological effects that occurred.
