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.
