What is the ongoing fitness theme or emphasis in this lesson?

Health-related Fitness (HRF)

NYS LS 1B

 Cardiovascular endurance                                Muscular strength

 Muscular endurance                                         Flexibility

 Body composition

Explain how it is developed and where in the lesson it occurs:  With Circuit Training, a student's Health Related Fitness is tested throughout the entire process. With the planks, push ups, jump ropes, burpees, sit ups, treadmill etc. a student works on all the aspects of Health Related Fitness.

Skill-related Fitness (SRF)

NYS LS 1A

 Balance                                                    Coordination

 Agility                                                  

 Reaction time

 Speed                                                  

 Power

Explain how it is developed and where in the lesson it occurs:  With Circuit Traning all aspects of Skill-Related Fitness. Students must balance and coordinate to perform tasks, react to the time they are at each station, must be fast with each task, and be quick and powerful to complete the circuit.

Hello class, my name is Mr. Renzo and I am here to 'Pump You Up!' I am going to get you so buff you'll be able to lift a car after this lesson. Who here has ever worked out before? I'm sure a lot of you have. Today we are going to work out but in a little bit of a different way. Today we are going to be learning Circuit Training. Circuit training is a form of high-intensity aerobics and resistance training designed to be easy to follow and target fat loss, muscle building and heart fitness. By the end of class you will all be able to and have already performed an entire circuit. Before we get started I want to say be careful of your surroundings and peers and to be safe not to harm yourself or others. If at any point the Circuit Training is to much don't hesitate to let me know, take a break or get some water. Also, listen for my whistle throughout class, when you hear my whistle it's time to run to the next station. By now you should have your heart rate monitors on, and before we get moving all I ask if you jot down your resting heart rate, we will compare this to your heart rate at the end of class.

Check for Understanding.

I set up 7 stations throughout the gym and shortly we will begin the Circuit. To complete the Circuit you will have to finish each station one after the other. Some stations are easy to understand others are not, therefore I will demonstrate the tasks which I think might confuse you. (Demonstrate burpees, planks, sit ups with exercise ball, 'treadmill.')

Body of Lesson

(Lesson Focus)

Teaching Progressions – Show some of the major tasks/activities listed on your Activity Progression Worksheet within the selected level of (PC/C/U/P) for the class.  

Tasks (Extensions) - Activities for the whole class. E.g. Hit the ball over the net to your partner 10 times.

Cues (Refinements) – Simple secrets to improve performance. E.g. Low to high

Challenges (Applications) - More game-like chances to practice the same tasks at the same difficulty level. E.g. In 90 seconds, see how many times you can hit the ball to your partner.

Modifications –

Add modificationx to make the tasks easier and harder according to the skill level of the students.
