Apply self-selected strategies for effectively and safely improving muscular endurance and flexibility, and apply, with guidance, an understanding of how to effectively and safely improve muscular strength.
| (a) |
Select and participate in appropriate exercise strategies to enhance flexibility and muscular endurance for teacher-specified muscles through a variety of activities (e.g., design a fitness circuit, lead a class warm-up). |
| (b) |
Use the proper names (e.g., bicep, tricep, hamstring) of the muscles when doing flexibility and muscular endurance exercises that benefit those muscles. |
| (c) |
Use own body weight to challenge and improve personal muscular strength (e.g., various versions of push-ups, curl-downs, pilates, core strength training) of both the joint muscles and the core muscles. |
| (d) |
Willingly engage in a variety of movement activities that promote muscular endurance and flexibility. |
| (e) |
Incorporate the use of a variety of objects and equipment (e.g., dynaband, resistance bands, surgical tubing, exercise ball, skipping rope, towel) into muscular endurance, muscular strength, and flexibility challenging activities. |
| (f) |
Research and highlight safety guidelines for safe and effective muscular strength development during adolescence. |
| (g) |
Discuss and implement resistance training exercises as a means to develop muscular strength. |
| (h) |
Express an understanding of the inappropriateness of power lifting and single-joint focused weight lifting as a strategy to improve muscular strength when the body is not fully developed. |
