Catalog Description Formerly known as PHED 3B Hours: 36 activity per unit Description: Designed to educate students in the areas of aerobic circuit training as well as evaluate and improve present aerobic fitness level. (CSU, UC-with unit limitation) Course Student Learning Outcomes CSLO #1: Appraise cardiovascular fitness level to develop a circuit training program to improve baseline fitness. CSLO #2: Create and demonstrate a high intensity circuit training program resulting in a heart rate zone of 80-85% of maximum heart. CSLO #3: Formulate a plan to prevent injuries associated with circuit training fitness workouts. CSLO #4: Differentiate and demonstrate the various training programs available on circuit training.

General Education Information Approved College Associate Degree GE Applicability AA/AS - Health Ed/Physical Ed CSU GE Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU approval) CSUGE - E2 Physical Activity Cal-GETC Applicability (Recommended - Requires External Approval) IGETC Applicability (Recommended-requires CSU/UC approval) Articulation Information CSU Transferable UC Transferable Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Example: Through discussion, students will correctly list ten different benefits of exercise as discussed in class. Skill Demonstrations Example: Accurately demonstrate how to use a high intensity circuit program using the treadmill and discuss the benefits of that particular program. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Activity Distance Learning Activity: The instructor will give a lecture and lead a class discussion on glycemic index and it impact on fitness. Student will then explain why high glycemic food are good after a workout. Instructor will demonstrate and lead a warm-up, core, cool down and stretching routine. Students will then work in small groups with instructor support to practice the routine. Distance Learning Instructor will lecture online on the various muscles involved during circuit training when using a variety of fitness equipment. The students will create a workout for circuit training using fitness equipment. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read a fitness journal and be prepared to discuss in class 2. Read an article about healthy ranges for cholesterol, BMI, heart rate and body fat and be prepared to discuss in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Create and complete a circuit workout meeting the following criteria: allows you to be in your target heart rate range for 80-85% of a 60 minute workout, uses at least three different machines and allows for proper cool down and flexibility. 2. Recommend a circuit training program to increase V02 max.
