OUTDOOR ADVENTURE FITNESS ASSESSMENT AND GOALS PAPER
The purpose of this paper is for you to get a feel for your own fitness level and to
set goals to improve on areas you feel you need to be better. Here are some things to
think about and touch on in your paper:
1. Health related fitness components
a. Cardio-respiratory endurance – ability of heart and lungs to get oxygen
throughout the body during sustained physical activity (being in shape)
b. Muscular endurance – ability of your muscles to work for long periods of
time without getting tired
c. Muscular strength – maximum amount of force produced by the muscle in
one repetition of and exercise (max lift)
d. Flexibility – ability of the joints to move in a full range of motion
e. Body composition – ratio of lean body weight (muscle, skin, bones, etc) to
the amount of fat in the body (body fat percentage)
2. Sport related fitness
a. Your ability to participate in specific sport(s), based on physical fitness
and skills
Your paper needs to touch on each of these subjects, describe where you think you are
and where you would like to be. The last part of your paper should describe your goals
and what types of things you will need to do to accomplish these goals. This paper needs
to be a minimum of a half page in length, but it has to cover all areas described above for
full credit, therefore papers may be longer that a page. You will also need to put together
a 5-day fitness program that can be used for the rest of the quarter. If you are in athletics
and you want to put in some things that are drills or other activities to aid in your
improvement in that sport please feel free to do so. The assessment/Goals paper and the
lifting program will be due Friday, February 5, 2010 at the beginning of class.
