Here is a booklet for the Unit 11 Development of Personal Fitness I made for my BTEC students which has made the unit much easier to teach in a practical setting. I hope it’s of help – it can be easily tweaked and developed to suit your class, taste and needs in the department. Please contact me via @PE4Learning or add me on twitter if you need any help or clarification – it will be a pleasure to help!

The Effect of Exercise on Skill Level (Lesson Plan + Fitness Games)

Posted by Michael Rankin
/ March 12, 2013 / Leave a comment

This lesson is aimed at gaining pupils understanding of the effect that aerobic and muscular endurance exercise can have on their skill level. Pupils completed a number of skill games/test/tasks prior to taking part in a 10-20 minute bout of step aerobics. Immediately following the step aerobics the pupils completed the test/games/tasks again to see if their scores would differ. The premise behind the lesson was to look at a professional athlete and think about how difficult it is for them to keep their skill level up for a prolonged period of time. Both PDF and Microsoft Word formats have been provided for your convenience. Please share your thoughts/feedback on this resource by commenting below. Thankyou.

This is a resource that lays out at least a 2 hour lesson based on the Olympic velodrome races. It was planned by a member of my team and has been tried and tested by three of us now and the kids love it! Teamwork, task roles and literacy all built in. You do need bikes though!

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) Project

Posted by Michael Cummings
/ January 1, 2013 / 3 Comments

This project takes about a day or two to complete. Its a step by step worksheet that the student can do on their own. I incorporated the Body Mass Index (BMI) which, in my mind, is not a valid way for a student to look at their fitness or health. The BMI is good for a quick and average way to assess a person's health. I believe that the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) can help a student assess their own fitness/activity level and food intake based on their gender, caloric intake and activity. I have had several students in the past that have lost weight just by calculating their calories without changing their activity and visa-versa, where I have had student athletes maximize their caloric intake based on their activity output. It brings kinesiology into the classroom and student's enjoy the findings based on their levels.
