Learning Outcomes and Performances Objectives with their methods of measurements as used to determine the students’ mastery of those outcomes.

 

Learning Outcome 1:  The students will be able to perform physical fitness tests to determine body fat percentage, fat mass, lung capacity, flexibility and body measurements.

 

Performance Objectives/Method(s) of measurement for each Objective:

1.                  The students will be able to demonstrate the ability to use the body fat

analyzer to determine their fat percentage and fat mass.  This will be measured by the students’ participation and performance of a pre-test and a post test.  The results will be recorded on their personal worksheet for subsequent comparison.

2.                  The students will demonstrate the ability to calculate their vital capacity (VO2) using a spirometer.  This will be measured by participation and performance of a pre-test and post test.  The results will be recorded on their personal worksheet for subsequent comparison.

3.                  The students will participate in a pre- test and post test measuring of their hips, waist, thigh and a measure of their hamstring flexibility.  Their measurements will be recorded on their personal worksheet for comparison at the end of the course.  The students will participate and perform the task and calculate their results.

 

 Learning Outcome 2.  The students will be able to perform the Kenneth Cooper Aerobic Fitness Test and the Harvard Step Test.  The students will be able to calculate their individual results.

 

Performance Objectives/Method(s) of measurement for each objective:

1.      The students will complete long-steady-distance jogging for leg endurance.  This will be measured by participation and performance.

2.      The students will perform “cruise intervals” to develop aerobic fitness.  This will be measured by performance and participation.

3.      The students will perform running up hills to gain leg strength and endurance.  This will be measured by performance and participation

4.      The students will run/jog repeat 400 meters for pace and recovery awareness.  This will be measured by performance and participation.

5.      The students will be timed for a 1.5 mile jog/run.  This will be measured by the Kenneth Cooper Aerobic Fitness Test standards.

6.      The students will complete the Harvard Step Test and calculate their results.  This will be measured by performance and participation.
