everyone.
Goals and Objectives
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The student will be able to identify and explain the five components of
fitness.

UbD Rational
• I feel that the UbD model opened up a gateway for me to
develop a better, more in-depth lesson that could easily be
split up into multiple lessons. As I review my essential
questions and enduring understandings I get more lesson plan
ideas making for a more efficient unit. I feel the UbD model is
very organized yet flexible. I feel it allows teachers to think
more freely and be creative getting away from the traditional
design of lessons. It forces teachers to really think about what
we want our students to learn from our lessons other than
the standard "traditional" classroom content.
UbD Rational
In the PAST:
•
•
•
I’ve had students develop charts but
without fitness goals to tie into it
I didn’t discuss alternative methods
of measuring body composition but
simply discussed the bio-electrical
impedance method since that is what
we use in class
The flow of the lesson was off when
presenting the hussmanfitness
website
Using the UbD model
•
•
•
•
Students develop charts to tie in with
at least three fitness goals
There is a class discussion about the
pro’s and con’s of the different
methods for measuring body
composition
The lesson has a better flow where all
parts tie together to the unit
including the essentials questions
and enduring understandings
Charting takes place throughout the
course of the semester and is graded
every 6 weeks encouraging
motivation and student growth
BIG Ideas
My big ideas
1. Students will learn how body
composition, the components
of fitness, and fitness test
assessments all relate to
enhance ones physical fitness
2. Students will learn the
importance of measuring
fitness levels, how to measure
fitness components and why
it is beneficial for success.
Enduring
Understandings
My enduring understandings
1. Using self assessment strategies for
monitoring and improving health
related fitness will contribute to
improved health throughout one’s
lifetime.
2. Creating personal fitness
conditioning sheets along with
using appropriate technology to
enhance the accuracy of fitness
test measurements will increase
the likelihood of developing and
maintaining a healthy fitness level.
Essential Questions
1. What determines a healthy level of physical fitness?
2. Do physical fitness values change depending on
what part of the world you come from?
3. Are you physically fit?
4. Are all means of calculating body composition
created equal?
5. Which is better for improving body composition and
fat lose- aerobic or resistance training?
6. How will different fitness levels affect your life?
Knowledge and Skills Gained
• Five Components of Fitness
-
Provide at least one example of a fitness test for
each
• Body Composition
• Design and Implement Individual Fitness Chart
5 Components of Fitness
1. Cardiovascular Endurance: the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to function
efficiently when a person exercises the body
example: PACER test, 12 minute run, mile run
2. Muscular Strength: the amount of force a muscle can produce
example: bicep curl
3. Muscular Endurance: the ability to contract the muscles many times without tiring or to hold
one contraction for a long time
example: curl ups, push ups, pull ups, hang (*these may fall into the muscular strength
category depending upon number done)
4. Flexibility: the ability to move the joints through a full range of motion; a part of fitness that
requires long muscles
example: sit and reach
5. Body Composition: the make-up of the body tissue, including muscle, bone, fat and all other
body tissue
example: tanita scale
Body
Composition
•The following are
different methods of
measuring body
composition
•Factors to consider
when assessing
calculations:
- accuracy
- reliability
- cost
- availability
• Height-weight tables
• Body mass index charts
(BMI)
– Body mass in kilograms divided by
(height x height in meters)
• Girth measurements
• Skinfold measurements
• Bioelectrical impedance
analysis (ie. tanita scale)
• Hydrostatic Weighing
Basil Metabolic Rate (BMR)
• Everyone log onto the web and go to
www.hussmanfitness.org
1. Go to #4 “The Fridge”
2. Go to “How Calories Work”
3. Read information on BMR and type in
information from fitness logs to determine
your BMR
Assessing Student Knowledge
Formal Assessment
Self Assessment
• Written quiz
- students will take a written quiz
where they must identify the 5
components of fitness and
provide examples of fitness tests
for each. There will also be a
question where students need to
discuss the different means of
measuring body composition and
justify their position as to which
is the best method and why they
prefer it.
• Students will be given time each
week to reflect on their progress
and make any adjustments
needed to their fitness charts
• Charts will be reviewed every 6
weeks (grading period) to check
for adjustments, progress etc.
and will be worth 5 points every
check up totaling 20 points by the
end of the semester
Assessing Student Knowledge
• Performance Task
- student will design and
individual fitness chart using
spreadsheet excel or a table from
a word document. The student
must provide a clear written
explanation of their fitness goals
along with reasoning for each
specific target area at which they
are charting
• Grading Rubric
10 points: The chart represents a
clear picture of:
•
•
•
•
•
At least three fitness goals (3 pnts)
How the student will track these
goals (3 pnts)
What components of fitness each
goal covers (1 pnt)
The chosen method of tracking body
composition and why (2 pnts)
what technology will be used to help
assess goals (ie. tri-fit computer
program, heart rate monitor,
pedometer etc)
