Disease Prevention and Management

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: B9.1.2.1.1 - Create and perform physical activities to lower the risks associated with sedentary behaviours and physical inactivity

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Explain the link between sedentary behaviours, physical inactivity, and lifestyle diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions.
Identify at least five physical activities suitable for their age group and describe the intensity level of each.
Plan a personal weekly physical activity schedule that includes at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on most days.
Perform, in groups, a short aerobic routine or physical activity session and record their estimated duration and performance in a self-journal.
Evaluate the benefits of regular physical activity and justify its role in disease prevention using evidence from their own practice.

Curriculum details

Strand: Health Education (Strand 1)
Sub-strand: Disease Prevention and Management (1.2)
Content standard: B9.1.2.1 - Discuss ways to prevent diseases associated with sedentary behaviours and physical inactivity
Indicator: B9.1.2.1.1 - Create and perform physical activities to lower the risks associated with sedentary behaviours and physical inactivity
Suggested placement: Term 1, Week 5 (Week 5 of the year)
Our suggestion, laid out in curriculum order across three terms of twelve weeks. NaCCA does not fix the week, so follow your school's scheme of learning.
Source document note: The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:

exemplars - p.39: the page wraps after 'E.g.' and prints the following comma overprinted on the 'g' of 'gardening' at the left margin of the next line (comma box x 221.91-224.23, 'gardening,' box x 222.00-266.78), so both 'pdftotext -layout' and '-bbox-layout' read it as ',gardening,'; exemplar 3 of the same indicator prints the parallel form 'E.g., aerobics', which is probably what was meant, but that is not what this line prints

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

1. In groups, discuss a variety of physical activities performed daily. E.g. ,gardening, riding a bike, playing games, jogging, etc.
2. Research and make a presentation about physical activities that enhance regular participation to prevent diseases associated with sedentary behaviours and physical inactivity. (Obesity - moderate intensity exercises such as fast walking, jogging, tennis, aerobic dance, etc.)
3. Plan and perform physical activities to prevent diseases related to sedentary and physical inactivity. E.g., aerobics, jogging, tennis, etc.
4. Record estimate of duration/measure of performance in your self-journal as your effort to increase involvement in physical activity.
