LAC 28:LIII.507. Standard 3

A. The physically literate individual demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness. 1. Intent: The intent of this standard is that students will be able to analyze physical activity outside of physical education class for fitness benefits and differentiate between skill and health-related fitness. B. Grade Level Expectations Grades 3-5 1. Physical Activity Knowledge a. Third Grade i. [3.3-1.1] Identify school, home, and community physical activity opportunities to meet physical activity guidelines. ii. [3.3-1.2] Track physical activity minutes inside and outside of school to determine progress toward daily recommendation. iii. [3.3-1.3] Identifies foods that are beneficial for before and after physical activity. b. Fourth Grade i. [3.4-1.1] Analyze opportunities for participating in physical activity outside of physical education class. ii. [3.4-1.2] Track and chart physical activity minutes or steps to determine progress toward daily recommendation. iii. [3.4-1.3] Discuss the importance of hydration and dehydration choices relative to physical activities. c. Fifth Grade i. [3.5-1.1] Identify school, home, and community physical activity opportunities to meet physical activity guidelines. ii. [3.5-1.2] Track and chart physical activity minutes to determine progress toward daily recommendation. iii. [3.5-1.3] Analyze the impact of food choices relative to physical activity, youth sports, and personal health. 2. Health Related Fitness Knowledge a. Third Grade i. [3.3-2.1] Describe the concept of fitness and provide examples of heart rate evaluation methods. ii. [3.3-2.2] Assess heart rate during physical activity and exercise. iii. [3.3-2.3] Identify activities to improve muscular strength and endurance in the core area. iv. [3.3-2.4] Recognize the importance of warm-up and cool-down activities. v. [3.3-2.5] Analyze the results of a fitness assessment to determine areas in a healthy fitness zone (HFZ). vi. [3.3-2.6] Identify the frequency and type of exercise in relationship to the FITT principle. b. Fourth Grade i. [3.4-2.1] Completes fitness assessments (pre and post). ii. [3.4-2.2] Link specific activities to the appropriate health-related fitness component. iii. [3.4-2.3] Evaluate heart rate during physical activity and exercise to sustain a moderate to vigorous activity for longer periods of time. iv. [3.4-2.4] Identify activities to improve muscular strength and endurance in the upper and lower body. v. [3.4-2.5] Demonstrate warm-up and cool down relative to cardiorespiratory fitness assessment. vi. [3.4-2.6] Analyze the results of a fitness assessment to determine areas in the HFZ and those that need improvement. vii. [3.4-2.7] Identify strategies for progress in fitness. c. Fifth Grade i. [3.5-2.1] Identify and apply frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT) to a fitness plan. ii. [3.5-2.2] Identify specific activities that could improve each health-related fitness component. iii. [3.5-2.3] Interpret heart rate during physical activity and exercise to determine appropriate level of intensity. iv. [3.5-2.4] Identify specific activities to improve muscular strength and endurance throughout the body. v. [3.5-2.5] Identify warm-up and cool-down activities. vi. [3.5-2.6] Perform a nationally recognized fitness assessment (pre and post) comparing results to fitness components for good health. vii. [3.5-2.7] Identify strategies for progress in fitness areas.
