Reports Example: In a report students will document and assess deficiencies and strengths of their weight workout program and three different weeks of a complete nutritional diary. Skill Demonstrations Example: Students will be asked to demonstrate five different exercises to strengthen the core muscles. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Activity Distance Learning Activity: The course instructor will facilitate critical thinking through lectures, group discussions, seminars, videos, and learning activities. Students will differentiate and distinguish, contrast and design a beginning physical exercise program each for: a twenty-year old male; a forty-year old female; and a sixty-year old male. The course instructor will facilitate small group discussions on the different diets. Students will choose a diet and list the pros and cons of such a diet. The course instructor will provide students with a summary of various work out plans and facilitate a group discussion assessing the potential outcomes, level of competency and risks involved in each plan. Distance Learning Following an on-line lecture on nutritional planning, students will construct a plan for proper nutrition and how it relates to current cultural trends and fitness trends. Students will then post their plan for all students to review and provide comments on a minimum of 3 other student plans. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. The student will select and read two current health-related articles. The student will summarize and share the main points of the article with other students in a discussion group. 2. The student will read two different articles on the same topic from current nutrition periodicals such as or similar to: Circulation, Journal of Nutrition, Healthy Weight Journal, Nutrition Today or Obesity. The student will summarize the differences and similarities between the two articles' viewpoints. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. The student will write a weight training program that will address all major muscle groups within a time-frame of forty-five minutes and include components of muscular fitness, endurance and strength. 2. The student will establish and maintain an aerobic journal to document exercise intensity, calories burned, and target heart rate for each week of the semester. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1. Each student will design a comprehensive fitness program to be maintained for the 90 days after the course concludes that encompasses all five components of fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, cardio-respiratory fitness, flexibility, and body composition. The plan must include goal setting and documentation forms. Required Materials Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning Author: Gregory Haff Publisher: Human Kinetics, Inc.
