Course Description

Advanced Fitness is an intense and rigorous class designed for student-athletes and those who wish to improve their current fitness levels. Initial fitness tests will be administered to establish baseline data. Strengths and weaknesses will be identified, then a prescriptive program will be established using a variety of conditioning techniques. Students will chart incremental progress throughout the semester in an effort to work towards established goals. The conditioning will focus on strength gain of major muscle groups with weight training, and endurance through cardiovascular exercise. Students will learn the value of physical activity for health, wellness, as well as the improvement of performance in competitive sports. This course will not meet the physical education requirement for graduation.
