Students plan training programs that involve performing, developing, and increasing their understanding of the benefits of a personal functional level of fitness for specific individual and dual activities. The skills and principles taught may be transferred to lifelong leisure pursuits.
Strategies Have the class discuss equipment needs, safety for self and others, and responsibilities.
Have students select, plan, and implement a training program to suit their personal needs, and record their progress in a log or diary. Discuss ways in which various skills and mechanics are transferred from activity to activity. Have students, working in pairs, use a checklist based on predetermined mechanical criteria to analyse each other's performance of specific skills. Have students discuss and explain how body types and changes can affect performance and fitness level. Have students use scarves, balls, or sticks to practise juggling skills individually, with partners, and in small groups.
