Space Needed: An open soccer or football field or a gymnasium with open floor space and weight room
with working weighted machines
2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.3, 5.7
Equipment Needed:
Yoga mats, heart rate monitors, speaker and device to play music, dumbbells, resistance bands,
medicine balls, stepping platforms, white board, dry erase markers, eraser
My student who has ASD (autism spectrum disorder) will strategically be placed toward the front of the
class to ensure they have access to extra personal attention during exercise demonstration and
performance. This student will also be provided with written descriptions of each exercise and be given
online resources such as videos and diagrams to better illustrate the exercises and allow them to
practice individually at home.
Unit Objectives:
Psychomotor
Students will demonstrate proficient form in performing standard cardiovascular exercises, plyometric
cardiovascular exercises, and high intensity combination cardiovascular exercises. Students will
demonstrate competent form when performing weight lifting maneuvers and using resistance
machines.
How assessed:
Students will be assessed using exercise task cards which they have to demonstrate and teach to their
peers. Students performing the above assessment receive rating based on a 1 to 5 scale with 1 being
poor form and 5 being excellent form. Students will also be observed during practice and have their
skills checked off on a checklist throughout the unit.
Cognitive:
Students will interpret their heart rate data derived from various levels of physical exertion and draw
conclusions from that data using the scientific method. Students will demonstrate proficient knowledge
of the terms: High Intensity Interval Training, Plyometric exercises, Progressive Resistance Training, 1
rep max, VO2 max, and moderate to vigorous activity. Students will draw connections between specific
exercise types and components of fitness and define what qualities differentiate the various types of
exercises performed over the course of the unit.
How assessed:
Students will write a lab report that analyzes their heart rate while performing low intensity
cardiovascular exercises, high intensity interval training, resistance training, and alternate fitness
activities and draw conclusions about what component of the 5 components of fitness each exercise
type falls under based on their data. Students will also be quizzed on terminology and identify exercises
based on video footage and peer demonstrations.
Affective:
Students will integrate their personal devices to foster lifelong wellness skills and habits such as tracking
exercises and reflecting on their personal positives and negatives in regards to the exercise types
covered in this unit. Students will develop a rich and meaningful understanding of the 5 components of
fitness by reassessing where their fitness is at each component and reflecting on what changes have
occurred throughout the year.
How assessed:
Students will qualitatively analyze their heart data in their journal and describe how they felt before,
during, and after each exercise performed. Students will then reflect on how this differs from the
beginning of the school year and draw qualitative conclusions about their progress throughout the year.
Scope
The individual fitness unit teaches students what qualities define different types of cardiovascular and
resistance training and how these qualities relate to the 5 components of physical fitness. The unit
reinforces the use of heart rate monitors and starts students with simple cardiovascular exercises. It
then increases the difficulty of these exercises by introducing explosive intervals of plyometric exercise,
topping out with introducing combination exercises that utilize light weights in tandem with
cardiovascular exercise. The unit then introduces the learner to resistance training through assessing
their current muscular fitness and introducing them to lifting and machine techniques designed to
improve full body muscular fitness. The unit then accommodates the varied interest of the students by
introducing students to rhythmic fitness in the form of box aerobics and step aerobics. This unit
addresses the physical fitness standards expressed in the state standards and prepares students to have
their fitness tested. This unit is placed directly before fitness testing to improve student baseline fitness
and ensure that students have the requisite technical knowledge to perform the tasks of the fitness test
effectively.

describe how specific movements work on each of these dimensions of fitness
3. CA PE Standards (Affective):
Affective Domain Objectives:
3.5 Assess periodically the attainment of, or progress toward, personal physical
fitness goals and make necessary adjustments to a personal physical fitness
program.
5.7 Model support toward individuals of all ability levels and encourage others to
be supportive and inclusive of all individuals.

You must describe an assessment tool that will be used for each domain
objective.

Alternate Activity
Note:
Do not simply say you will move your class into to the gym. Consider the
reality that you will likely be sharing the gym with 2-4 other classes. You need
to describe an alternate activity and a place where you will teach this activity.
