Course Description & Rationale:
This course focuses on the development of a personalized approach to healthy, active living through participation in a variety of fitness
activities that have the potential to engage students’ interest throughout their lives. Students will improve their physical fitness through
various cardiovascular techniques and improve body composition and tone using a variety of strength training methods. Students will be
required to learn an extensive exercise inventory list, develop a detailed personal fitness journal and implement their physical fitness plans
according to their personal fitness goals. Students will evaluate the various components of physical fitness including anthropometry (girth
measurements) and body composition. While this course will focus on the theory and methodology of strength training and bodybuilding,
students will also be introduced to a variety of methods to improve sport performance. The theory component will include basic human
muscular anatomy, nutrition for sport performance, nutritional supplements, steroid use and abuse and common shoulder and knee injuries as
they apply to weight training and sports in general. As this course is a physical activity course and is optional, all are expected to be
extremely active at all times and regularly put for 100% effort. Regular attendance and punctuality are extremely important to achieve a
credit in this course. In addition, they will be given opportunities to refine their decision-making, conflict-resolution, and interpersonal skills,
with a view to enhancing their mental health and their relationships with others.
Overall Expectations:
By the end of this course, students will:
demonstrate personal competence in applying movement skills and principles;
demonstrate knowledge of guidelines and strategies that enhance participation in recreation and sport activities;
participate regularly in a balanced instructional program that includes a wide variety of enjoyable physical activities that

The Research Process
For every research-based assignment, students will be expected to use the TDSB student research guide, Research Success @ Your Library with the
4-stage model of the research process incorporated into these assignments either in part or in whole. Students will receive instruction and be
assessed/evaluated on various aspects of the research process by either their teacher or one of the teacher-librarians. These lessons may include, but
are not limited to, the development of research questions, note-taking, adherence to a specific documentation style, facility with a variety of resources,
etc.
Course Evaluation Plan:
Assessment for this course is based upon the following criteria: daily participation, written tests, skills tests and fitness evaluation. Activities
and assignments are organized into four strands: Physical Activity, Active Living, Healthy Living and Living Skills. Students are expected to
keep all paperwork handed out and to transfer verbal instruction to written assignments, written tests, skills tests, culminating activity and the
final exam. Any extra help required can be arranged by making an appointment with the appropriate teacher.
