- This course provides opportunities for students to increase their fitness and enhance their understanding of exercise and health. The course focus is on holistic fitness improvements and approximately 30 hours of online Health and Physical Education content reading, writing, and assessments. Units will include a pre and post-course fitness assessment, safety, biomechanical principles, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, flexibility, and designing a personal fitness plan. An online exercise log will be used to describe and track individual exercises performed throughout the course. This is an ideal course for the serious athlete or any student in need of fulfilling their Hempfield High School Physical Education requirements. (The personal fitness log enables students to tailor their workouts to meet their individual goals.)
- Students must successfully complete the pre-assessment fitness test, and maintain or exceed the required standard of fitness throughout the duration of the summer school course (determined by a summative fitness assessment). The two fitness assessments will be performed in person with the certified Health & Physical Education teacher assigned to the course. The pre-assessment will be conducted during the course orientation or before the end of the school year by appointment. The post-assessment will be done by appointment in the summer.
- In addition to the online written assessments, an online exercise log will be used to describe and track individual exercises performed throughout the course. This will include 1.5 hours per day for 5 days each week, equaling a minimum of 37.5 hours of recorded exercise.
- Students that have previously taken Lifetime Fitness may take the course again. If you are taking the course for a second or third time you will automatically be enrolled in Lifetime Fitness II or III. Lifetime Fitness II & III build upon and expand on the content of the previous Lifetime Fitness course.
