Description

Students in the Fitness Lifestyle Design course discover how to move strong, live well, and eat healthy. During their fitness journey, they learn the principles of strength and endurance training, lifetime fitness activity options, and essential nutrition to encourage lifetime optimal health.

Students assess their current level of fitness then use training principles to set and reach fitness goals with a long-term goal of lifetime health. After establishing a strong foundation on the principles of strength and endurance, students then explore a variety of different sports—with a focus on choice and options, so that they can best select healthy activities that suit their personalities and lifestyles. Finally, students learn about nutrition and how it impacts physical health and athletic performance.

This complete course journey through physical health, sport, and nutrition requires at least 420 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous activity from each student.

Besides engaging students in challenging curriculum, the course guides students to reflect on their learning and evaluate their progress through a variety of assessments. Assessments can be in the form of practice lessons, multiple choice questions, writing assignments, projects, research papers, oral assessments, and discussions. This course will use the state-approved grading scale. Each course contains a mandatory final exam or culminating project that will be weighted at 20% of the student’s overall grade.***

***Proctored exams can be requested by FLVS at any time and for any reason in an effort to ensure academic integrity. When taking the exam to assess a student’s integrity, the exam must be passed with at least a 59.5% in order to earn credit for the course.  

To achieve success, students are expected to submit work in each course weekly. Students can learn at their own pace; however, “any pace” still means that students must make progress in the course every week. To measure learning, students complete self-checks, practice lessons, multiple choice questions, projects, discussion-based assessments, and discussions. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with teachers; the minimum requirement is monthly. When teachers, students, and parents work together, students are successful.
