5 Components of Health Related Physical Fitness Assignment

Physical Education California State Standard 4: Students demonstrate knowledge of physical fitness concepts, principles and strategies to improve health and Fitness.

Introduction to Assignment:

Previously in P.E., we have been discussing the 5 components of health related physical fitness and how it pertains to class. The 5 components are cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility and body composition. Now, every student will have the opportunity to research this topic! You will look into what each category is, why it is important and an example of each topic all on the internet! The goal is to create a PowerPoint to present your findings. You may communicate through emails, google docs or Facebook to work on the project. You may also choose any other form of online communication as the ones I named are options.

Task:

The assignment is simple. Research each of the 5 components on the internet and present your findings on a PowerPoint presentation. You must include a title page (slide 1), a slide for each component (5 slides), an exercise program using the FITT formula (1 slide), a conclusion (1 slide) and a references page (last slide). Adding it up, there will be a total of 9 slides. Each health component slide must include what it is, why it is important and an exercise relating to that component. The FITT exercise program will include the Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type of exercise. The reference page must be done in APA format and at least 3 resources must be used. Meaning, 3 different websites.
