INDIVIDUAL SPORTS

The Introduction to Individual Sports will provide the students opportunities toparticipate in activities that are easily adapted to different levels of ability and varyingdegrees of vitality and vigor. It will incorporate the use of games and sports, as well as, dance to assist the students in their achievement of the goals of education. This coursewill provide each student with opportunities to be successful in the development offitness, the development of motor skills, and the acquisition of knowledge andappreciation through movement. The activities utilized in this course will include, butwill not be limited to, tennis, badminton, track and field, dance, and fitness. As a part of this course, students will develop physical skills and acquire knowledge of and an appreciation for efficient and creative movement through participation in a sequential program of varied activities. While developing coordination, balance, dexterity, and body suppleness, individual activities encourage self-confidence and determination. Mastery of minimum skills may initiate lifelong interests in a particular activity. As a part of this course, students will be afforded the opportunity and encouraged to develop a greater knowledge base concerning contributions made by all ethnic groups and to view athletics and sports from other perspectives. Individual activities often enhance as well as test one’s abilities. Since they are likely to be of social value as well as physical value, they are highly adaptable to lifestyle applications from youth through adulthood.

Unit One: Physical Fitness

Overview of Unit:

The physical fitness unit is designed to introduce and review the eleven components of fitness and apply them during the President’s Fitness Challenge as well as into students’ daily lives. This will be accomplished through research and presentations along with students keeping an at home fitness journal. The eleven components include body composition, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, agility, speed, balance, reaction time, power, and coordination. The fitness unit will also promote a physically active and healthy lifestyle and give students a visual result of how their fitness levels compare to other students their age. Students will also learn the importance of monitoring their heart rate during exercise as well as how to take their pulse and calculate their target heart rate. Knowledge gained in the fitness unit will be applied to each unitthroughout the year.

aerobic activity.
5.1.e Use technology to compare and contrast individual heart rate amongvarious activities. (Level 2)
5.1.a Perform a series of activities to enhance circulatory fitness.
5.1.b Use technology to monitorindividual heart rate.
5.1.c Calculate target heart rate to reflect personal activity goals.
(Level 3) / Teacher will show the students where to find their pulse. The carotid artery and the radial pulse. Students will then be asked to find their own pulse. They will take their pulse for 30 seconds then multiply that number by 2 to find their resting heart rate. After that they will find their maximum heart rate by subtracting their age from 220. Finally, to find their target heart rate students will take their maximum heart rate, minus their resting heart rate, take that number multiply it by .60 or (60%) then add the resting heart rate to that number. The result gives the student an estimate of the low end of their target heart zone. To find the high end, re-do the formula using .80 or (80%). The students target heart rate zone should be between 60 and 80 percent of their maximum heart rate. Students will then graph their heart rate for different activities.
Diverse Learners: Students can partner up with other students that have a good understanding of the formula and how to find the pulse or they can receive teacher assistance. Formula should be demonstrated on an overhead or blackboard. Any additional accommodations will be made based on students’ individual needs and IEP recommendations.
Cross Curricular:Math, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and percentages- The students will take their pulse for thirty seconds, then using multiplication they will multiply that number by two to find their resting heart rate. By using this formula they will be able to obtain their target heart rate and graph it on a chart.
Materials: Calculator, writing materials for each student, blackboard or overhead, along with a handout that includes an example of the formula. / Level 1:

(Level 3) / Teacher will create a large list of foods on a handout. On a separate hand out students will need to fill in the blanks for each of the three main meals of the day. Students will choose the foods that they believe are healthy and nutritional. This activity should be used as a benchmark.
Diverse Learners: For students with reading disabilities pictures of foods can accompany the words. Any additional accommodations will be made based on students’ individual needs and IEP recommendations.
Cross Curricular: Reading, writing, and language arts. Students will be able to read, identify and write out the foods that are essential for a healthy diet. They will choose these foods from the word bank given on the worksheet.
