A. The physically literate individual demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.

1. Intent. The intent of this standard is the development of student knowledge, skills, and willingness to accept responsibility for personal fitness, leading to an active, healthy lifestyle. Health-related fitness components include cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Expectations for student fitness levels should be established on a personal basis rather than setting a single standard for all students at a given grade level. Moreover, a student becomes more skilled in the ability to self-assess, plan, perform, interpret results, and monitor physical activities appropriate for developing a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.

B. Grade Level Equivalents

1. Benefits of Activity
a. [3.6-1.1] Describe how being physically active leads to positive physical health benefits.

b. [3.7-1.1] Analyze the relationship between physical activity levels and mental health.

c. [3.8-1.1] Explain the connections between the five health-related fitness components (cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, body composition) and overall physical, mental, and emotional health.

2. Evaluates Physical Activity
a. [3.6-2.1] Collect and reflect on personal physical activity assessment data.

b. [3.7-2.1] Collect and analyze personal physical activity assessment data to develop a plan to improve or maintain physical activity levels.

c. [3.8-2.1] Implement a plan to improve or maintain physical activity levels based on personal physical activity assessment data.

3. Health and Skill Related Fitness
a. [3.6-3.1] Identify the components of health-related (cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, body composition) and skill-related fitness (balance, coordination, reaction time, agility, power, speed).

b. [3.7-3.1] Describe the health-related and skill-related fitness components.

c. [3.8-3.1] Compare and contrast the health-related and skill-related fitness components.

4. Principles of Training
a. [3.6-4.1] Identify the principles of training (specificity, overload, and progression).

b. [3.7-4.1] Describe the principles of training.

c. [3.8-4.1] Analyze a fitness plan for the principles of training.

5. Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type (FITT) Principles
a. [3.6-5.1] Identify each of the components of the FITT Principle (frequency, intensity, time and type)

b. [3.7-5.1] Describe the FITT Principle for the following components of health-related fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility.

c. [3.8-5.1] Develop a personal workout plan using the FITT Principle for one of the health-related fitness components.

6. Phases of Exercise
a. [3.6-6.1] Describe the role of warm-up and cool-down regimens used for participation in physical activity.

b. [3.7-6.1] Design a warm up and cool down routine for a class or self-selected physical activity.

c. [3.8-6.1] Implement a personal or group warm up or cool down routine for a class or self-selected physical activity.

7. Heart Rate
a. [3.6-7.1] Describe the differences between active and resting heart rate.

b. [3.7-7.1] Calculate/Find pulse and use the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) for activities of different intensities.

c. [3.8-7.1] Analyze the relationship between pulse and RPE for activities of different intensities.

8. Body Systems
a. [3.6-8.1] Identify major muscle groups used in selected physical activities. Identify the role of major body systems (respiratory, muscular, and skeletal).

b. [3.7-8.1] Describe the mechanisms behind movement of large muscle groups.

c. [3.8-8.1] Explain the role of the respiratory, muscular, and skeletal systems and the interactions during physical activity.

9. Technology
a. [3.6-9.1] Identify and/or use technology to monitor fitness.

b. [3.7-9.1] Describe the benefits of and/or uses technology to monitor fitness.

c. [3.8-9.1] Apply the use of various forms of technology to the concept of monitoring fitness and/or use various forms of technology to monitor fitness.

10. Assessment and Program Planning
a. [3.6-10.1] Develop SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely) goals for improving or maintaining all areas of health-related fitness (cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition) based on fitness assessment results.

b. [3.7-10.1] Uses SMART goals to design a personal workout plan based on results of at least two health-related fitness assessments.

c. [3.8-10.1] Design and implement a personal workout plan based on results of at least two health-related fitness assessments.
