*** Safety is a primary
concern. When using equipment and working with others you must adhere to safety
factors and procedures related to each activity. You must REPORT ALL INJURIES to your teacher.
*** Please keep valuables
at home! Theft does occur. The best prevention is to keep all valuables out of
the locker room. The next best prevention is to keep items locked at all times!
While we do have locker room supervision by our staff during passing periods,
we can not be responsible for students’ personal items.
*** Locker
rooms/Gymnasium/Weight Room/PE Hallway: No food, gum, or beverages. All school
rules apply concerning the use of cell phones and cameras. Consequences will
follow the student handbook.
***Locks will be assigned
to each student. Students are strongly
encouraged not to share locks and/or lockers!
Locks will be turned in at the end of the school year. If you fail to turn in your lock you will be
charged a $5 replacement fee.
Assessment
In our physical
education program, we assess students’ cognitive and psychomotor performance,
while continually working to enhance the affective domain as well. While
physical education may require times of subjective analysis of student
performance, we will use objective data to assess when at all possible. Each
day will be worth 10 points possible, all of which the student must earn.
Students will be held to high standards and challenged each and every day. All
students are required by the state of Illinois to pass 8 semesters of Physical,
Health, and Safety Education in order to graduate.
Grading Scale: Physical Education Grade:
100-90 A Demonstrates
outstanding progress
89-80 B Demonstrates
above average progress
79-70 C Demonstrates
average progress
69-60 D Demonstrates
minimum acceptable progress
59-0 F Demonstrates
unacceptable progress
Participation:
Participation is made of total points in the unit grade. This
grade will be based on a 10 point daily rubric system. Grades may be determined
both objectively and subjectively. Use of heart rate monitors, pedometers and
other technological devices may assist in determining this grade. In addition,
student behavior and dress may also affect this grade. Students will be warned
in the following matter concerning his/her participation during warm-ups,
stretching, activity time, and/ or cool-down time:
Strike 1: 8/10
(-2points)
Strike 2: 6/10 (-4
points)
Strike 3: 4/10 (-6
points) and student will be removed from activity and asked to walk the
remainder of the hour to earn 4 points. If behavior becomes a problem and/or
student refuses to walk 0/10 points will be given for the day and student will
be removed to the office.
Jr/Sr PE Classes:
Failure to go to fitness center the correct number of days per week will result
in -8 points per day missed.
-
Ex. If you are expected to go to the fitness center 3 days in one
week, yet you only go 1 day your overall points for the week will be reduced by
16 points (-8 for each day missed).
Dress: All students need to wear appropriate Physical Education attire:
shorts, athletic pants, t-shirts, or sweat-shirts, and athletic shoes. Clothing
must be a maroon, grey, or white in
color only. Shirts may be plain or carry an MCHS logo and they must cover the
torso and undergarments even when active. Jewelry should be removed before
entering the gym and a tardy may be assigned if you are sent back to remove it.
A “No Dress” day (student
forgets shoes or uniform, doesn’t want to rent, or just doesn’t want to dress)
will result in the following:
1st: teacher warning and student
will receive 2/10 participation points for walking entire hour. If the student
must be warned to continue his/her walking they will be removed from class with
an office referral and receive 0/10 points.
2nd: parental contact and office referral
and student will receive 2/10 participation points for walking entire hour, (no
walking = 0/10 + office referral)
3rd: parental contact, parental meeting,
and office referral and student will receive 2/10 participation points for
walking entire hour, (no walking = 0/10 + office referral)
4th: parental contact, signed behavioral
contract and student will receive 2/10 participation points for walking entire
hour, (no walking = 0/10 + office referral)
5th: Dropped for the SEMESTER with F
*There is no reason
for a “no dress” as there are rentals available on a needs basis.
Attendance: Students must be in attendance in
order to accomplish course objectives. Please see the make up policy below for excused absences and unexcused absences.
Make Up Policy
When students cannot
be in attendance for class, we expect that they will make up this workout time
they have missed. Any absent date, excused or unexcused, will result in a 0/10
participation grade. YOU MUST BE PRESENT
TO PARTICIPATE. Students can only make up these participation points by
obtaining a make up form from their instructor and completing the criteria
outlined. Make-ups must be completed no more than 5 school days upon
return or the amount of days gone, unless directed otherwise by a physician or
school nurse. The only make ups that can be earned are: unexcused absences,
excused absences, ISS, and OSS dates. All other point loss including “no
dresses”, strikes on participation, and behavior removal MAY NOT BE MADE UP. If
you choose to lose points, you do not get to make them up. All students will be
given 5 freebie days to be absent from PE class per semester for any reason.
The first 5 days absent from PE class per semester will not affect your grade.
Every day over the 5 dates given you will be required to choose a make-up
opportunity to earn your points back. For example, if you are sick an entire
week, you have not lost any points. The following week you go on a field trip
on Tuesday, but you are present every other day, you have lost 10 points. Being
absent for PE includes: nurse’s notes, doctor’s notes, field trips,
participation in extra curricular activities, being sick, or any other dates
you are not physically in class.
-
Passes out of the office will not count as being absent

days, after the 3rd day you must have a note from a physician.
Please take your note directly to the school nurse. These absent dates will be
counted towards your 5 freebie days.
Tardies:
Students must be in the PE hallway by the sound of the tardy bell.
Consequences will follow the student handbook. Students are also required to be
dressed and in the PE hallway 5 minutes into class. Strikes will be given as
consequences and will be assigned based on how much activity you have missed.
Fitness Testing: All 9-12th grade
students will be assessed using the six recommended FITNESSGRAM tests. We will
assess students’ fitness levels 6 times throughout the year. Tests include: (1)
PACER- cardiovascular endurance, (2) Body Mass Index reads- height and weight
of student calculated into Body Composition (results will be confidential) ,
(3) Curl-Ups- abdominal test to measure strength and endurance, (4) Trunk

assessments. Junior/Senior PE the following eight units will be your study
guides for each test:
UNIT 1: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E.
CURRICULUM Test #1
Components & Benefits of
Fitness
Five
Health-Related Fitness components:
Cardiovascular
Endurance – the ability of
the heart, blood vessels, and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles
Cardiovascular activities are those
that increase the heart rate in the training zone for an extended period of
time. The intensity of activities generally should be between 60% to
85% of a person’s heart rate
range.
Muscular
Strength – the ability of
the muscles to exert a force
Muscles become stronger when they
are exercised against a gradually increasing resistance, or weight. Muscles may
adapt by getting bigger (hypertrophy) or smaller (atrophy) depending upon how
often and how hard they are used.
Muscular
Endurance – the ability to
efficiently use muscles over a longer period of time.
While muscular strength allows
you to lift more weight, muscular endurance allows you to lift more
repetitions. Common tests for muscular endurance are push-ups, sit-ups,
pull-ups, and dips.
Flexibility – the ability to move at the joints
through a full range of motion
A regular program of stretching
may incorporate static (stationary) stretching and/or dynamic (movement)
stretching to improve flexibility. Stretching should be done when the body is
warm and should be held to the point of mild discomfort, not pain (and not
abrupt bouncing).
Body Composition
– the amount of
body weight that is fat compared to muscles, bones, and other body tissues
Body fat with-in a normal range
promotes healthy body functioning.
A recommended range for males is
12% - 18%, for females 18% - 24%.
Major benefits
of good Physical Fitness:
Improved appearance
Increased energy levels
Increased self esteem and
confidence
Stronger and more efficient
heart
Increased capacity to do physical
work, including sport performance
Injuries are less
frequent, less severe, and recovery time is shorter
Improved emotional control
Sleep better (and therefore
more energized throughout the day)
Body fat stays within
normal healthy range
Increased life
expectancy / enjoy more healthy years
UNIT 2: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #2
Cardiovascular Exercise Training
Cardiovascular
Endurance: The
ability to persist in physical activities that rely
on the heart,
blood vessels, and lungs to supply oxygen to the working muscles
Cardiovascular
Activities all have 4 characteristics:
Large Muscle
Groups – the larger the
muscle mass involved, the better the
activity. Whole
body and weight baring, the best.
Rhythmic – you can regulate the pacing of the
activity (slow down or speed up) and still perform the exact task.
Continuous – the activity is sustained over time
Aerobic – the nature of the activity is dependant
upon the strength and efficiency of the heart supplying oxygen
Examples of
Cardiovascular exercise activities:
Swimming, biking, walking,
running, rowing, cross-country skiing, aerobic dance, etc.
Benefits of
Cardiovascular exercise:
Stronger and more
efficient heart (increase stroke volume)
Lower heart rate
at
rest, during exercise, and recovery
Lower blood
pressure at
rest, during exercise, and recovery
Lower
cholesterol (lower
total, raise HDL)
Improved body
composition,
burn fat
Improved ability
to perform work, faster recovery
Maintenance of a
healthy heart and cardiovascular system
*Guidelines for
how to maintain or improve cardiovascular endurance:
*Frequency – How often should you do CV exercise?
3-5 times per
week
*Intensity – How hard (vigorous/intense) should CV
exercise be?
Between 60% -
85% of your Heart Rate Range
*Time (duration)
– How long should
CV workouts last?
20-60 minutes
*Progression – a gradual
increase of frequency, intensity, and time as a person’s fitness level
improves
UNIT 3: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #3
Aerobic & Anaerobic Activity,
CHD Risk Factor Reduction
Aerobic
activity:
It is activity
that is dependent upon the heart, lungs, and blood vessels to transport oxygen
to use as fuel to the working muscles. It is generally large muscle activities
that are sustained for relatively long periods of time
Examples of
aerobic activity:
Group I activities – [provide
constant intensity, not dependent upon skill]
Cycling, jogging, running,
walking, rowing, stairclimbing, elliptical trainer
Group II activities – [may
provide constant or variable intensity, depending on skill]
Aerobic dancing, bench step
aerobics, Nordic skiing (outdoors), hiking,
In-line skating, rope skipping,
swimming, water aerobics
Group III activities – [provide
variable intensity and are highly dependent on skill]
Basketball, country dancing,
handball, racquet sports, volleyball, circuit resist tng.
Anaerobic
activity:
It is activity done in short
bursts of intense movement whereas the body cannot supply blood and oxygen to
the muscles as fast as the muscles use it. The immediate sources of energy
(ATP & PC) stored in the
muscle allow for quick short bursts lasting no more than 20 to 30 seconds. The
oxygen demand for the activity is beyond what the body can sustain.
Examples of
anaerobic activity:
Most sports are a combination of
aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Examples of pure anaerobic exercises are: short
sprints, weight lifting, high jump, diving, throwing a baseball, gymnastics
vaulting, etc.
CHD Risk
Factors:
[The greater the number and
severity of risk factors, the greater the probability of CHD]
CIGARETTE
SMOKING -
Everyday 3000 young people in US become smokers; closely linked to lung cancer,
pulmonary disorders, & CHD; smokers have more than twice the risk of heart
attacks.
OBESITY AND OVERWEIGHT
–20% above desirable weight; 1 of 3 adults; 1 of 5 children & adolescents;
can lead to a variety of health problems – cholesterol, BP, diabetes, cancers,
pulmonary, & orthopedic. Exercise and nutrition counseling to combat
problem
PHYSICAL INACTIVITY –
Physically active people have lower incidences of heart attacks and death from
CHD and tend to develop CHD at a later age compared to their sedentary
counterparts.
HYPERTENSION (high blood
pressure)– above 140/90 ; 1 in 4 adults in USA; narrowing of blood vessels;
causes heart to work harder than it should which leads to heart failure;
regular exercise can lower high blood pressure.
HIGH CHOLESTEROL – young
adult should be under 180 for total cholesterol; diets high in fat elevate
cholesterol; causes the formation of plaque on arterial walls; exercise
elevates HDLs which pick up excess cholesterol in the arterial walls and
metabolizes it in the liver.
DIABETES MELLITUS – the
pancreas fails to make enough insulin to regulate the amount of glucose in the
blood or when the body cells become resistant to insulin. Diabetes is becoming
much more common in young adults, especially in the overweight
AGE – regular physicals as you
age, the more risk factors the earlier the checkups.
FAMILY HISTORY – strong genetic
link to CHD. Regular exercise, proper diet, and regular checkups are best
prevention; early detection and treatment recommended.
UNIT 4: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #4
Muscular Strength and Strength
Training
Muscular
Strength:
The maximum force that can be generated by a specific muscle or muscle group
Muscular
Endurance: The
ability of a muscle group to execute repeated contractions (i.e. perform work)
over a sufficient time period to cause muscular fatigue.
Benefits of
Muscular Fitness:
Ability to do more strenuous work
Ability to do more work over a longer period of time
Less susceptible to muscular
fatigue Less injury prone
Improved appearance Improved
athletic performance
Proper Form /
Technique for Strength Training:
Balanced Athletic Position
Intended Muscles Move; Other
Muscles Stabilize
Full Range of Motion
Smooth Controlled Movement
Complete Eccentric and Concentric
Muscle Actions
Proper Breathing
SIX ABSOLUTES
for Proper Lifting Technique (Free Weights):
ATHLETIC or JUMP
STANCE - Balanced
“ready” position
BE TALL - “Power Line”
position with back in correct position
SPREAD THE CHEST
– lower back
lock-in concave position
TOES ALIGNED – straight ahead stance, groove strength for athletic
position
KNEES ALIGNED – directly over toes, balance on entire foot, heels
stay down
EYES ON TARGET – straight ahead
or up, awareness of correct body position
How much weight
should you use? How many sets? How many repetitions?
For strength gains to occur, the
weight needs to be at least 60% of one’s maximum for each lift.
A maximum conversion chart is
used to predict maximums based on repetitions performed at sub-maximum
workloads.
Generally, if strength and size
is desired, heavier weights with 3 sets of 6-8 repetitions. If muscle toning
and definition is desired, lighter weights with 2-3 sets of 10-15 repetitions.
Keep in mind that there are many individual differences in how each person will
respond, including significant differences between the males and females. Many
studies have shown strength gains utilizing a variety of programs. In other
words, a regular program of weight training results in strength gains
regardless of the exact protocol. A statistical comparison of many studies
shows most strength gains close to the 3 set x 6 rep standards.
A minimum of one set of at least
one exercise for all major muscle groups should be included in a training
session for persons training for general fitness. This recommendation is for
healthy adults desiring minimal fitness and not for athletes because multiple
sets do result in greater strength gains than single-set programs.
UNIT 5: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #5
Strength Training Principles
Progressive
Overload is
the practice of continually increasing the stress placed on the muscle as it
becomes capable of producing greater force or has more endurance if a person’s
body gets stronger and can perform the same weight, sets, and reps easier, no
further gains in strength will occur if the training stimulus does not
increase.
*A reasonable guideline is 2.5%
to 5% increases at any one time.
In other words, prove that you
can handle it using:
1. Good Form, and
2. An adequate numbers of sets
and reps, and then increase the resistance.
The exercise order can
have a significant impact on the training stimulus stress level in a training
session. By exercising the larger muscle groups first, the greatest possible
training stimulus is presented to all of the muscles involved in an exercise.
The exercises performed in the beginning of the workout are the ones that
require the greatest amount of muscle mass to perform. Thus, this ordering
scheme focuses on gaining a greater training effect for the large muscle
groups.
Intensity is the
percentage of the 1RM (repetition maximum) or any RM for the exercise.
If someone’s 1RM bench press is
200 lbs., that person’s 75% intensity of their 1RM would be
150 lbs. The minimal intensity
that can be used to perform a set to momentary voluntary fatigue to result
in increased strength is 60% to 65% of the 1RM.
[In other words, performing a
large number of reps with a very light resistance will result in no strength
gain.]
Training to
failure: In
order to make significant strength gains, temporary muscular failure, has to
occur somewhere in the set. This may be in a 1RM or in the last couple
repetitions in a 10RM.
Specificity in strength
training implies that the training for a specific sport should include the
types of muscle actions encountered in that sport. It should also
include speed specificity in that resistance training should be
performed at the velocity required during the actual sporting event. This is
high velocity for most sports. It should also include energy-source
specificity, in that the number of sets and reps and the length of rest
periods between sets and exercises need to be appropriate for the energy source
in which training adaptations are desired.
Periodization is variation in
the training volume and intensity. It is extremely important for optimal gains
in strength. Generally, in strength training, periodization is a plan of
lifting that covers 8 to 12 weeks. Within this time period, a lifter varies his
weight, sets, and rep combination to achieve a certain level of performance at
the end of the time period. It may involve lighter weights and more reps at the
beginning of the cycle and then gradually increasing weights and decreasing
reps as time goes by. The intention is for the lifter to peak with maximum
strength gains at the end of the cycle.
UNIT 6: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #6
Body Composition and Exercise
Body Composition: the relative
comparison of body fat to lean body mass (muscle, bone, organs). Fat weight
compared to fat free weight.
Purpose and
functions of fat:
Normal physiological functioning
Protection of organs from bodily
harm
Insulation and body temperature
regulation
Energy storage
Methods of
Measuring or Estimating Body Composition:
Skinfold – caliper measures fat
tissue at specific landmarks
Underwater Weighing – weight in
water relative to body volume
Bioelectrical impedance – speed
of electrical impulse faster in muscle
Body mass index &
height/weight chart – has limitations
What % of body
fat is recommended?
Males = 12% – 18% Females = 18% -
24%
Fat levels above
recommended values are associated with health problems – orthopedic,
cardiovascular, metabolic, etc.
Healthy and
Long-term Method of Weight Control:
Proper Diet: to provide the
necessary nutrients for peak physiological functioning
Exercise: to maintain
higher metabolic rate and provide health benefits
Most health professionals agree
that diet and cardiovascular exercise are the standard method for weight loss.
However, the role of strength training is fast becoming a new piece of the
weight control and weight loss method.
In general, a person with a
higher muscle mass has a higher metabolism (burns more calories throughout the
day). Strength training during a weight loss regime helps insure that the
weight that is lost is more fat weight rather than a combination of fat and
some muscle. Cardiovascular exercise will always be the primary choice for
exercise. However, strength training helps to compliment the total plan.
A healthy combination of
cardiovascular training and strength training can provide you the benefits of
each. Cardiovascular exercise generally burns more calories throughout the
activity, but strength training can promote more calories burned for up to two
hours following a workout.
UNIT 7: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #7
Exercise and Sport Nutrition
CALORIES IN – CALORIES OUT = NET CALORIC BALANCE
(food & drink) – (exercise,
physical activity, metabolism) = -,+, same
Estimated
metabolism:
Males: body weight (lbs.) x 11 =
calories burned
Females: body weight (lbs.) x 10
= calories burned
Regular exercise serves to
maintain a higher level of metabolism, burning calories throughout the day.
Diet alone (calorie restriction) gradually lowers or slows metabolism resulting
in the body burning fewer calories throughout the day. Thus, exercise should be
a major component of any weight loss or weight control program. In addition to
the weight loss benefits, exercise also provides countless health related
benefits.
Carbohydrates:
Complex carbohydrates (high in
nutrients) vs. Simple carbohydrates (low in nutrients)
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains
(highly nutritious foods)
Primary energy source for the
body
4 calories per gram (complex
carbohydrates provide low calorie with high nutrition)
60% - 70% of calories in diet
should be carbohydrates (AHA)
Average American diet has only
50% or less of calories from carbohydrates
Fats:
Animal products, meats, poultry,
whole milk dairy, vegetable oils, metabolizes vitamins, converts to body fat,
essential to proper functioning, 9 calories per gram (many calories from even a
small amount) only 20% - 30% of calories in diet should be fat (AHA)
Average American diet is high in
fat (40%-50% of calories are fat)
Protein:
Meats, poultry, fish, dairy
products, eggs, nuts, soy
Amino acids to build muscle,
tissue, hormones, and enzymes
4 calories per gram (provides low
calories with high nutrition)
12% - 15% of calories in diet
should be protein(AHA);
Average American diet is slightly
high in protein (15% - 20% of calories)
All calories that the body can
not absorb and utilize are excess calories.
Excess calories, regardless of
quality, will be converted to body fat or waste products.
Athletes and protein: The body
will only utilize up to one gram of protein for every pound of body weight. Excess
protein converts to body fat and waste.
Post exercise
nutrition:
The body should be refueled with quality nutrients as soon as possible
following exercise. This nutrition aids in the recovery and rebuilding process.
Purposeful weight gain should
be in the form of muscle weight and strength development. Body fat will be lost
with improvement in physical fitness. Strength improves performance
UNIT 8: FITNESS ACROSS THE P.E. CURRICULUM Test #8
