In the Physical Education Credit Recovery course, students develop an awareness of the fundamental components and principles of fitness. This course examines safety guidelines, proper technique, and exercise principles such as FITT: Frequency (how often you exercise), Intensity (how hard you work during exercise), Time (how long you exercise), and Type (what type of activity you do). Students learn about the five components of physical fitness: flexibility, cardiovascular health, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition. They learn the health benefits of several different types of lifetime fitness activities, as well as the proper technique to safely participate in these pursuits. Students also assess their current stress levels and discover ways to effectively manage stress in their lives. This one-Semester course equips students with strategies to help them begin, design, and maintain an exercise program to keep them fit for life.
