Heart Health: A Resource for Senior High School Physical Education
Online Submission
Heart Health is grounded in the skill of learning to listen to the language of the heart. It connects students to their heart-rate data, and offers insights into what these numbers mean using the framework of Heart Zones Training. There are eight learning opportunities that originate from the following questions: How does heart health information apply to my life? What are my heart-rate numbers? What do my heart-rate numbers mean? How does my body feel at various levels of intensity? Am I getting cardiovascular benefits in physical education class? Am I active enough each day to receive health/fitness benefits? How do I create my own physical activity program? How can we share our understanding of heart health with the community? The learning opportunities in this resource provide inquiry based activities that can be used in a variety of ways to increase student knowledge about healthy hearts. Each learning opportunity contains physical education learning outcomes, an overview of activity expectations, a statement of the concept addressed through each activity, background information that supports that activity, equipment/materials needed for the activities, related worksheets and hand out materials, steps to follow to achieve the stated outcome, heart healthy tips and sample student questions that may arise as a result of the learning activity. Information on inquiry based learning, pedometers, the heart muscle, activity circuit cards, core body exercises, sample games/activities, training principles, and assessment tests. Appendices A-O provide further information on inquiry based learning, pedometers, the heart muscle, activity circuit cards, core body exercises, sample games/activities, training principles, and assessment tests. A glossary and a bibliography are provided. [This document was published by Alberta Education, Learning and Teaching Resources.]
