Mile Run
Mile Run
Why the Mile?
The mile run is used to help students develop and assess cardiovascular endurance, which is the ability of the heart, lungs, and circulatory system to supply oxygen to the body during prolonged physical activity.
Running a mile challenges students to maintain activity over an extended period while learning how pacing, effort, and consistency affect their performance.
The mile run gives students an opportunity to set personal goals and work toward improving their endurance over time.
Tracking Data:
BenchMark Mile: This is the first mile run of the year and sets a baseline for improvement.
Students must make improvement based on the benchmark grading scale each time the Mile Run is conducted.
PACER
PACER
Why the PACER test?
The Pacer Test is used to develop and measure cardiovascular endurance while allowing students to track their individual progress over time.
How does the PACER test work?
Students gradually increase their running pace as the test continues, requiring them to maintain activity for as long as they can.
Repeating the Pacer throughout the school year allows students to compare their results, recognize improvement, and set realistic fitness goals based on their own progress rather than simply comparing themselves to others.
Tracking:
After each test, student lap totals are individually documented, then compared over time to track progression.
Workout Days
Workout Days
Workout days give students an opportunity to develop muscular strength and muscular endurance through exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, planks, resistance-band exercises, and other body-weight movements.
Muscular strength is the ability of a muscle to produce force, while muscular endurance is the ability of a muscle to continue working over an extended period.
These workouts help students build a foundation for lifelong fitness while teaching proper exercise technique, effort, consistency, and the importance of maintaining a strong and healthy body.
