This unit introduces Year 4 students to the multifaceted nature of fitness through a carefully structured journey across different training modalities. Unlike traditional fitness units that focus on a single element, this approach exposes students to endurance, flexibility, strength, power, speed, and self-assessment, helping them understand that athletic excellence requires diverse physical qualities. The unit emphasises both physical development and metacognitive awareness, encouraging students to think like athletes about their own bodies and capabilities.
