1. What is the purpose of each physical fitness test?

2. How can you improve your performance in each test?

Activity 3 - Fitness Circuit Training

Materials: Various exercise equipment (e.g., resistance bands, dumbbells,


jump ropes)

Instructions: Divide the class into small groups and set up circuit training
stations. Each station should focus on different aspects of physical fitness,
such as strength, endurance, and flexibility. Students will rotate through the
stations, performing exercises at each one for a set amount of time.

again and compare their results to their initial performance. Assess their
improvement and effort in each test.

Assignment:

Design a personal fitness plan that includes specific exercises and activities to
improve each component of physical fitness. Students should set goals, develop a
