(a) |
Identify the health-related fitness benefit (e.g., whether flexibility or muscular endurance; which muscles are benefiting) while participating in teacher-selected exercises and activities that enhance flexibility or muscular endurance. |
(b) |
Explain the potential consequences of poor flexibility as related to possible injury and the ability to perform various activities, including daily living activities such as housework and yard work. |
(c) |
Determine, demonstrate, and express the purpose and qualities of effective and safe flexibility (including dynamic stretching) and muscular endurance exercises. |
(d) |
Analyze the flexibility and muscular endurance benefits of participation in various movement activities. |
(e) |
Explain the benefits of an improved level of health-related fitness, specifically muscular endurance and flexibility, on personal ability to improve performance of motor skills. |
(f) |
Incorporate the use of a variety of objects and equipment into muscular endurance and flexibility challenging activities (e.g., dynaband, resistance bands, surgical tubing, exercise ball, skipping rope, towel). |
(g) |
Demonstrate and incorporate different ways to use sports-related equipment to improve muscular endurance and flexibility (e.g., stretch using a golf club or lacrosse stick for resistance, pass a basketball against the wall with two hands without stopping for one minute). |
(h) |
Collaboratively create (in small groups) and participate in a flexibility routine and muscular endurance exercise plan that prepares the body for a specified activity (e.g., alternate environment activity – skiing: muscular endurance exercises for the leg and shoulder muscles). |
