Session Description: Many secondary students demonstrate low levels of health-related fitness knowledge (HRFK). There is growing evidence that HRFK plays a key role in students’ physical activity and personal fitness. To move the body, one must first engage the mind. However, limited instructional time and crowded curricula create barriers.   Learn how to improve HRFK through a balanced academic/kinetic curriculum.
