KIN 3079 Post Test
Tests can be used as a teaching tool, so that is what this is, a teaching tool. Hopefully enough of the information that you presented to your peers “stuck” so that you have a basic knowledge of fitness. This is to find out what you remember and let you know what I think is important. If you go on line to look up the answers, that’s fine, at least you know where to find the information. Start a folder, either hard copy or on digital so you have the information handy. Please return to me or put it in my box by next Tuesday, March 11 before class. Digital or hard copy, doesn’t matter and it will only help your grade. I will email you the “answers” along with the grade you earned in the fitness portion of the class by Thursday March 13.

What are the principles of training and give an example of using one of them in improving a health related fitness component? The principles of training are: specificity, overload, recovery, adaptation and reversibility. An example would be in recovery having the right amount of rest in order for the body to allow the adaptation to take place
What is meant by FITT and why is it important? FITT is Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. It is important because you need to know how often, how hard, how long, and what kinds of activity you should perform to build health and fitness.
Why and how do we warm up and cool down? It is very important to warm up the body before exercising. This aids the performer in preparing physiologically and psychologically for exercise, reducing the chance of joint and muscle injury. The cool down period of an exercise session is just as important as the warm up. The aim is to decrease the intensity of the aerobic session and to return the body to a state of rest. You warm up by walking or jogging or doing static or dynamic stretching. You cool down by stretching static to delay muscle soreness or lactic acid build up, or walk or jog if you had been running to control you breathing under control.
What are the various types of stretching and provide an example of each?
Dynamic stretching: Butt Kickers
Static Stretching: Bend and touch your toes
Ballistic Stretching: bounce stretching, “but you should never do or teach.”

Body composition refers to the ratio between ? and ? Lean body mass and fat body mass.
How does this affect your healthy lifestyle? This affects your healthy lifestyles because the more fat body mass you have the harder is to move your body to do rigorous physical activity because and abundance of fat surround your muscles and make them harder to operate.
What are the major nutrients that supply the energy the body needs to perform daily tasks? Protein, Fat, vitamins, minerals, and water are major nutrients that supply energy to the body to perform daily tasks.
Of the nutrients that do not provide energy, what one “nutrient” is considered the single most important and why? Protein is the single most important because it is responsible for the building and repair of body tissues.
Strengthening what area of muscles is important to back health? Abdominals, gluteus maximus muscles, and hips.
Now for the difficult questions
How could you use the results of the fitness tests to plan future lessons? How I could use the results of a fitness test to plan future lessons is to see what area my class needs improvement on and work that special area more, but also not forget about the other core levels as well that we would need to maintain.
Give an example of a California State Model Content Standard that is specific to” fitness” (any grade level) and how you would teach it? Standard 2 for High School: Students achieve a level of physical fitness for health and performance while demonstrating knowledge of fitness concepts, principles, and strategies. How I would Teach it would be to use results for a fitness test and set goals for the class, have the class do a report on ways to stay healthy, do a wellness plan.
Write a question that deals with your topic area. What is one way to improve your cardiovascular fitness?
What fun activity could you create to help improve one of the aspects of health related fitness? A fun activity I could create to improve and aspect of health related fitness would be create a game that has all the aspects tied together with cardio, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition to get them to work and challenge themselves while also having fun.

Thinking back over the class (This WILL NOT affect your grade, we just want to make this the best class for you. In my reflection of this class I know what I would change, but we need your input.)
Is this a worthwhile class? This class was a worthwhile class and was fun and exciting and learned new things and also a refresher on previous things that I have earned in the past, and Professor’s Zambetti and Sawyer both gave excellent feedback and how to go about teaching in the real world.
What did you like? Not like? I loved everything about the class from teaching and being able to learn from my peers as well from my instructors. There was not one thing in the class I did not like. Did we achieve the course objectives? I believe the instructors both nailed the course objectives and provided more as well.
Should we change these objectives? Or stress something more or less? I don’t think you need to provide more or less or stress any one thing more or less.
Regarding the fitness portion, what topics should we not include and what topics should be added? I believe everything was covered in class and things should not be added or taken out from the course.
How would you assess (grade) if you were teaching this class? How I would assess the class If I were teaching were to make sure the students were prepared for their teaching with lesson or unit plan, etc. and If they really put the effort in for their teaching.
