Process

Following each of the following steps will allow you to complete this unit of work:

**1.** Your teacher will have tested your current knowledge of muscles at the beginning of this class using the following activity on an interactive whiteboard:



**2.** Now, it's your turn to view a presentation at your own pace and complete the accompanying worksheet.

(Frank - Prezi presentation shown in class would be inserted here but Prezi files cannot be uploaded. It was created using the downloaded not web-based program.)



**3.** Now that you have a greater understanding of how muscles work, you will need to research one muscle group. The 4 groups to choose from are **back**, **legs**, **arms** and **core**. Pick a muscle group and then visit //**Get Body Smart**//.



Take notes on your chosen muscle group, using the key questions on the worksheet as a guide. These questions are:

// What is your muscle group primary used for? //

// List the major muscles involved in your muscle group //

// Give examples of stretches for your muscle group //

// What sport specifically would you muscle group be used for? //

// What exercises can be used to train your muscle group? //

**4.** Copy and paste your notes onto the __ **Muscle Groups wiki** __ created for this class. This will be used in the later stages of this unit.

**5.** For the remainder of this lesson and in the following three lessons, you will be learning more about specific muscle exercises and using this knowledge to create a program which relates to an outdoor activity such as hiking, kayaking or mountain bike riding. Today, you need to decide which muscle groups are most important to work on in preparation for an expedition involving your chosen activity. For example, hiking uses mainly the legs and requires core strength to carry a pack, and kayaking requires upper body strength and core stability.


 * 6. ** This concludes the first lesson of the unit, however over the following three lessons you need to create your fitness programs. To do this, you will need to use a search engine of your choice to discover some relevant exercises and decide what you would like to include in your program. You may also need to research content such as recommended workout frequency and duration, muscle isolation exercises and alternative exercises for the same muscles.

You can refer back to this page and your class wiki in the following lessons as you create your program.
