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 Methods of Evaluation Classroom Discussions Example: Through a class discussion on aerobic training zones, the students will develop a specific aerobic routine and assess heart rates at the beginning and end of the routine. Objective Examinations Example: Students will take an objective examination on determining target heart rates. Sample Test Question: Using the formula for target heart rate and your age, determine what your training zone is? Skill Demonstrations Example: The students will demonstrate a step routine and evaluate its benefit to group aerobic fitness. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Activity Distance Learning Activity: The instructor will use a PowerPoint presentation lecture to demonstrate the target heart rate formula and instruct the students in calculating their personal target heart rate. After the instructor's lecture on stationary cycling technique, the students will design their own stationary cycling workout program. Distance Learning Following an instructor lecture on calculating body mass, students will calculate the body mass of themselves using the Body Mass Index to determine overall fitness level. They will then post their findings and comment on other students posts. Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read two journal articles in American College of Sports Medicine about aerobic fitness and write a summary. 2. Read an article on target heart rates and write a one-page report on how target heart rates effect aerobic workouts. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Design an aerobic dance routine that incorporates movement, music and choreography. 2. Write a one page paper that compares the pros and cons of aerobic exercise. 3. Compare and contrast the nutritional value of two different fast food hamburgers.
