| (a) |
Explain a variety of factors (e.g., planning, regular participation, effort, adequate information, motivation, commitment, regular monitoring) that affect personal fitness development. |
| (b) |
Sustain participation in moderate to vigorous movement activities (e.g., walking, snowshoeing, running, skipping, hiking, cycling, swimming, dancing, paddling) that increase heart rate and respiration rate, towards nine consecutive minutes on a consistent basis. |
| (c) |
Sustain participation in lead-up games (e.g., three-on-three soccer, outdoor obstacle course races) that increase heart rate and respiration rates in a progression towards nine consecutive minutes on a consistent basis. |
| (d) |
Engage willingly in a variety of movement activities at a moderate to vigorous level of effort. |
| (e) |
Determine the intrinsic (e.g., enjoyment, enhanced health, level of success, increased energy level, reduced stress level, connection to others) and extrinsic (e.g., awards, media, sport heroes, family, peers) factors that motivate participation for fitness development. |
| (f) |
Make connections between the terms associated with the function of the cardiovascular system (including heart rate, pulse, resting heart rate, maximum heart rate, target heart rate zone) and health-related fitness plans. |
| (g) |
Demonstrate and practise ways to find pulse (e.g., pulse point location and proper finger positions on wrist and neck) and to determine heart rate (e.g., counting beats for 10 seconds and then multiplying by six; use of heart monitors) before, during, and after exercise. |
| (h) |
Describe how heart rate is used to monitor exercise intensity and its connection to cardiovascular fitness. |
| (i) |
Monitor personal level of activity by using a pedometer to count the number of steps taken or the distance traveled and make connections to benefits for cardiovascular endurance. |
| (j) |
Create a visual representation of the key components of the F.I.T.T. principle and how they apply to personal fitness. |
| (k) |
Record and reflect own fitness results after participation in simple health-related fitness appraisals. |
| (l) |
Apply, with guidance, methods to analyze own level of cardiovascular fitness, including the use of fitness appraisals and health-related fitness standards as identified in research-based resources [e.g., Fitnessgrams, Activitygrams (Meredith and Welk, 2007)]. |
| (m) |
Discuss the positives and negatives of using standardized information related to fitness levels as a means of judging own performance. |
| (n) |
Set and work towards challenging yet obtainable individualized goals for cardiovascular fitness improvement. |
| (o) |
Share responsibility for the development and implementation of a class cardiovascular fitness plan. |
