Learning Objectives

Indicator: B9.2.2.1.1

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Define muscular strength and muscular endurance and distinguish between the two using examples from daily life.
Set personal muscular strength and endurance goals that are specific and measurable, and record these goals in their B7-B8 physical activity log.
Participate in at least four different muscular strength and endurance activities (push-ups, sit-ups, squats, carrying loads) at an appropriate level of challenge.
Measure and record their performance (number of repetitions, duration, or load) in a self-journal after each activity.
Explain how increasing frequency, repetitions, or load gradually can help improve muscular fitness, drawing on their recorded results.

The major goal is to maintainpersonal level of performance and improve, as necessary. This may include increased frequency of push-ups, sit-ups or lifting/carrying various objects that bring weight to bear on the muscles at home and school.
2. Record estimate of duration/measure of performance in your self-journal as your effort to increase involvement in physical activity.
