This unit empowers Year 5 students to understand fitness as a multi-dimensional concept by exploring six distinct components: speed, strength, coordination, agility, stamina, and balance. Through a structured assessment-training-reassessment cycle, students develop self-awareness of their physical capabilities whilst building intrinsic motivation through measurable personal progress. The unit uniquely combines scientific understanding of fitness with practical application, enabling students to become informed participants in their own physical development.
This unit empowers Year 5 students to understand their bodies as scientific systems whilst developing practical fitness across cardiovascular, flexibility, and strength components. By beginning and ending with personal assessments, students experience tangible progress and develop ownership of their health journey. The unique combination of physiological knowledge and practical application helps students make informed decisions about exercise and understand the 'why' behind physical activity.
This unit empowers Year 5 students to take ownership of their fitness journey through systematic assessment, progressive training, and creative circuit design.
