November 17th - 21st.
As students begin the second marking period, each student will complete the physical fitness pre-assessments. By November 21st, each student will have completed four fitness pre-tests. They are;
One Mile Run (measure of cardiovascular endurance), Shuttle Run(measure of speed and agility), Sit-and-Reach(measure of lower body flexibility) and Push-ups(measure of muscular strength and endurance).
In the spring, each student will be assessed in these assessment again. The objective is to have each student improve upon the result they posted in the pre-assessment. Students will have the opportunity to participate in strength and conditioning blocks throughout the school year that will teach them have to move properly and learn new exercises that improve their general physical preparedness.
As students complete the fitness pre-tests, students will move into their first activity of the second marking period. The two activities that the students will be exposed to are; basketball or strength & conditioning.
