Course Objectives
By the end of the course, students will…
1. Demonstrate the ability to define the differences between physical activity and exercise;
2. Demonstrate knowledge of the components of health-related fitness;
3. Demonstrate competency in developing a personal health-related fitness program;
4. Demonstrate knowledge of nutrition, cardiovascular health, diseases related to physical activity, stress,
management, substance use and abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases;
5. Demonstrate knowledge of health-related benefits of physical activity and of the risks associated with
physical inactivity;
6. Demonstrate knowledge of the principles specific to attaining and maintaining good health and fitness
throughout life; and
7. Participate in physical activities that are self-paced at target heart rates of moderate to vigorous
intensity.
Attendance
Students will be tested in for their max lifts 3 times during the course of the semester, regardless of
absence. Workouts that are not completed in class are not required to be made-up, but total amount of
workouts completed or missed will not factor into final grade. Students will receive a score of zero for
Max tests that they do not complete. Students who are absent from class during workout days will not lose
points for that day if the absence is excused. Max Lift make-ups are considered on an individual basis and
will ONLY be authorized when students provide the instructor with a School or doctor approved excuse.
Approved excuses: Excuses authorized by the Attendance office, Athletic Department (for student-athletes),
or a physician will be honored. School Attendance will authorize student excuses for things that are out of
control of the student (e.g., death in the family, illness in the family, etc.).
Course Evaluation (Quarters are graded differently)
Students must demonstrate minimal competency in each of the following requirements. Failure to meet
minimal competency in the Physical Activity part of PE47 will result in a failure of the course.
Quarter 1 (40% Weight on Semester grade)
Quarter grade is weighted to emphasize active participation in class (% next to points is quarter weight)
1. GRO Assignment 1[5 points] 5%
2. Timed Mile Run [5 points] 5%
3. Participation/Dress [50 points] 40%
4. Personal and Social Behavior [50 points] 40%
5. Max Improvement [25 points] 10%
Quarter 2 (60% Weight on Semester grade)
Quarter grade is weighted to emphasize weight lifting improvement (% next to points is quarter weight)
1. GRO Assignment 2 [5 points] 5%
2. Timed Mile Runs (2) [10 points] 5%
3. Participation/Dress [50 points] 20%
4. Personal and Social Behavior [50 points] 20%
5. Max Improvement [25 points] 20%
6. Max Lifts Total/Body Weight Coefficient [50 points] 30%
Max Lifts Total/Body Weight Coefficient
Is a strength index created by Dr Jerry Slemmer to determine how hard a given student has worked to
improve their lifting scores over the course of a semester. The index was created by studying max testing
scores over the course of 25 years of all Wilson High School Weight Training classes. Each body weight
from 100-265 can receive a score from 50-25 based on the total amount of weight lifted in the 4 core max
lifts. Each student can be tracked from their 1 st semester as a freshman, through the final semester of their
senior year.
