December 1st Through 5th. The strength & conditioning block will continue by giving each student the opportunity to practice the four major movements. The primary focus of the first block was to allow each student to learn how to move properly while performing the air squat, the deadlift, the strict press and the hand release push-up. As the S & C, block one concludes each student will get more repetitions at each of the four movements. Students that demonstrate the ability to move correctly will be given the opportunity to challenge themselves with additional resistance.
We will also continue to incorporate exercises that focus on the development of our cardiovascular fitness level. We will work on our ability to jump rope throughout the week. The skill of jump rope can be scaled to the ability level of each student. It is important to have the right size jump rope. When selecting a jump rope, the athlete should step on the middle of the jump rope. The end of the handles should come up to the athlete's chest level. This will ensure that the jump rope is long enough for the athlete to use.
The Strength & Conditioning Assessment for block one will be on December 8th or 9th, depending on when each student has physical education class. The assessment will require each student to provide twenty responses. The review prezi is located on my website under the physical education tab. It is entitled, Strength & Conditioning. It can be viewed as many times as needed.
