1.  Problem

To measure the weight loss of obese children after completing a fitness program.

2.  Refining the Problem

Age: 8-10

Gender: neutral

Race: African American and Hispanics

Grade Level: elementary

3.  ~Pre-test: Participants will be weighed on a scale that will take the measurement of their current weight before they start the fitness program.

~Motivation: If the participant reaches required weight by the end of the benchmark period, they will be rewarded with a prize

~Post-test: Participants will be weighed on their new weight after the completion of the fitness program.

4.  Five components:

Weight- To mark the progress of the participant throughout the program

Water Intake- to assure that the participants are remaining hydrated to prevent fainting and fatigue.

Intensity- To assure that the level of intensity is appropriate for the age group of participants.

Heart Rate Increase- this will be measured because oxygen is needed to burn calories more efficiently.

Food Intake- To measure the intake of food, to assure that the participants is receiving the proper amount of calories and are maintaining a balanced diet.

6.  Equipment:

Jump ropes

Mini trampolines

Hula hoops

Medicine balls

7.  To successfully complete this program you must achieve a 3 or higher. Conversion of number grade into letter grade will go as followed: 1=F, 2=D, 3=C, 4=B, and 5=A. Doctor notes will only be required if participant is absent due to medical reasons or if the participant has to be exempted from a certain activity. If participant has to be exempted then he/she will have to make it up by performing a modified version of the task. The final task will represent 20% of the final grade. This evaluation is a summative evaluation because it refers to the assessment of participants where the focus is on the outcome of a program.
