11th grade PE submission for the Interval training assignment:
"1. Describe what activity you selected and performed for this interval training assignment?
(examples: running, swimming, biking, etc….)
I chose lap swimming because I’m already on the team and we do interval training already.
2. How did you incorporate intervals in your activity? (an interval is a period of time where did the activity. Another interval is when you took a rest after the activity)
Since we are still at the beginning of the season we did 2 sets of 5x100s on two minutes. The faster we did the 100s the more break we would get.
3. SELF-EVALUATION: Explain, illustrate or summarize what your experience was like during your interval training activities?
It was alright. When our coach makes us do sets like that it tires me out really easily, but I feel the burn more and it makes competing in the actual races easier because if me work at it hard it slowly conditions me so that I get better without really realizing it."
12th grade Example for the Isometric, Isotonic, Isokinetic activity:
"List an example for each “iso” activity: (use the links on the blackboard)
3 pts.
Isotonic: lifting free weights
Isometric: hand wall press
Isokinetic: swimming
Try to do some of these activities on your own. What did you do for each one? 3 pts.
Isotonic:
Sit ups, getting up from squat position, lifting objects over head, throwing a ball, walking
Isometric:
Curling arm while applying pressure with the other, wall pushes, chair leg extension, Hand Press
Isokinetic:
I wasn’t sure what to do…most of the exercises said machines were needed…
Cite an example for both of the following: 2 points
Concentric contraction -
Bicep curl
Eccentric contraction –
Running downhill
Take a look at the principles of exercise glossary terms (overload, specificity, progression). You can find them in the glossary on the PE blackboard.
Which principle would you apply to isotonic exercises and why? 6 points
Principle:
Specificity
Definition:
Principle of exercise that says: Specific kinds of exercises must be done to develop specific aspects of the body/ fitness.
Why did you select this:
Isotonic exercises are suppose to enhance certain parts of the body like the chest, without going at an extreme pace or gradually increasing (progression); or having people exercise under high intensity or going exercise crazy (Overload). So, I chose Specificity since it seemed to fit the bill.
Matching: (review the ISO video for insight) 6 points
A. Isotonic B. Isometric C. Isokinetic
1. Which one is most likely to be used in therapy/rehabilitation? (swimming?)
2. Bench and leg presses are most likely which type of Iso activities? (up and down motion)
3. Which of the three offers the least amount of concentric and eccentric muscle contractions? (which one pushes against the wall)
Letter Number
C1
A2
B3"

I like the questions you ask the students. Do you have students who have trouble completing assignments. How do you make modifications for students who are having trouble?
Patrick,
Good questions. Yes, we do have students that have trouble with the assignments. We have some that do not do them at all, as well.
We can make several modifications. The use of pictures and graphic organizers into worksheets is a good start.
I like to incorporate sound bites as part of the assignment or as a guide to help students get started.
If there is reading involved, I might clip the important parts and feature them in a graphic organizer, highlighting the important concepts and words.
In addition to that, some students are not physically able to do all of the assignemnt, so we I may assign something for them to complete that does not include much, if any, physical activity.
I also give plenty of feedback for the assignments I give. In fact, lately I have been putting a question in each student's comment box after they submit an assignment. By doing this, I get them to think about their answers in a different way and get a better feel for well they may understand the important concepts.
