Why is physical fitness important? ACTIVITY Motivation/ explanation of lesson Motivation (5 mins) Fitness Education Goals ƒ __ To prepare and motivate students to engage in physical activity outside of school and throughout life ƒ __To provide opportunities for students to develop healthy habits while gaining an appreciation for its importance throughout life. Guiding Theme Today’s lesson will learn about the 5 components of fitness. Does anyone know the components? (32-35 mins) Today we will learn what we need in order to attain physical fitness, one has to concentrate on and improve these five basic components of physical fitness: 1. Cardiovascular Endurance-The efficiency and capability of your heart to supply oxygen and nutrients to tissues. 2. Muscular Strength-The amount of force or strength that your muscles can pick up and exert at a time. 3. Muscular Endurance-The ability of your muscle to undergo repeated contractions. 4. Body Composition- The ratio of body fat to body lean mass. 5. Flexibility- The ability of your muscles and joints to move through their full range of motion Activity Introduce the components of fitness. Have students read article about components of fitness. Discuss the components as a class and how we can incorporate them into our daily lives. At the end the line who is the most on task will receive 20 extra points towards their weekly participation. Distribute Handouts Give students time to read the handouts and answer the question Have a discussion about the components and why are they important in our daily lives. ** Why would you want to improve your cardiovascular fitness? ** What are the benefits of improving your cardiovascular fitness? **Why is body composition important? ** What are the dangers of having a not so good body compostion? **What role does muscular strength play in your life? In your groups discuss the following: Imagine the you want to tone up your muscles but not loose weight, what are some thing you could do during an exercise routine? What is the importance of stretching and flexibility before or after a workout? What is the importance fitness? SUMMARY 3-5 mins Go over all that was learned. Ask a student to reiterate the five components of health and explain them. Explain to the students what they will be going over in the next class ASSESSMENTS: Teacher Q & A, Teacher Observation, Exit Slips MATERIALS: Worksheets, journals Name: Date: The five components of physical fitness The 5 components of physical fitness are used in schools, gyms and health clubs to measure your level of physical fitness. Total fitness is defined by how well your body performs in each of 5 categories. Here's what you should know about the 5 components of physical fitness. The five components of physical fitness are: Cardiovascular endurance, Muscle strength, Muscle endurance, Flexibility, Body composition These 5 components measure your body's ability to use oxygen as fuel, your muscular strength and endurance, the flexibility of your joints and your total body fat.A range of tests are used to measure these components. Once you've been tested in all five components, a physical fitness regimen can be tailored to your specific needs. Cardiovascular Endurance- Cardiovascular endurance refers to the ability of your heart and lungs to work together to fuel your body with oxygen. The Cooper Run is most often used to test cardiovascular endurance. Aerobic conditioning, like jogging, swimming and cycling, can help improve cardiovascular endurance. Muscle Strength- Muscle strength refers to the amount of force a muscle can exert, in a single effort. Exercises like the bench press, leg press or bicep curl might be used to measure muscle strength. Muscle Endurance- Muscle endurance refers to the ability of a muscle to perform a continuous effort without fatiguing. Cycling, step machines and sit up tests are often used to measure muscular endurance. Flexibility- Flexibility refers to the ability of each joint to express its full range of motion. Flexibility can be tested by stretching individual muscles or by performing exercises such as the lunge or the sit and reach. Body Composition- Body composition refers to the amount of body fat you have, versus the amount of lean muscles, bones and organs. There are several tests that can be used to measure body composition. The most reliable is underwater weighing, but due to the size and expense of the equipment, this type of test isn't common. Many doctors, gyms and health clubs use a pinch test instead. Improving Individual Components- Once you've had your own 5 components of physical fitness measured, you can use this information to form a fitness regimen tailored to your needs. If you're weak in cardiovascular endurance, you'll need aerobic conditioning in the form of jogging, swimming, cycling or even sports. Strength training exercises can help improve muscular strength; a strength training exercise that uses low weight and high reps can help improve muscular endurance. Yoga and Pilates can help improve overall flexibility. Following good exercise practices can also help; warm up and stretch before your workouts, then cool down and stretch after to keep your muscles from shortening. Flexibility often improves rapidly with practice. The more you exercise, the lower your body mass index should become as you lose weight. An effective fitness program includes all 5 components of physical fitness. While it's acceptable to emphasize exercises for one or more weaker components, be sure not to neglect the others. Also, any strenuous exercise in one muscle group or fitness component should be followed by 24 to 48 hours of rest for that area, to allow it to recover. 5 Components of Fitness _Worksheet Name and define the 5 components of fitness 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 2. _____________ measures how long your heart and lungs can work efficiently. 3.
