Skill-Related Fitness Activities & History! Olympics & Roman Empire Activities
Ready to teach skill-related fitness (agility, balance, coordination, power and speed) in a creative memorable way? This action-packed activity session will include two elementary and middle school units that use the Olympics and Roman Empire as the “stage” to teach skill-related fitness. Participants will leave not only with new ideas but assessment tools and activity cards to begin their unit!
Main Points:
1.As veteran physical educators, seeking new ways to teach skills as well as meet the demands of the ever changing pendulum of educational mandates are always a challenge. This session will demonstrate ways to successfully implement both.
2.Physical Educators can sometimes struggle with student motivation. These activities are instant motivators that challenge students personally as well as include appropriate amounts of game-like competition.
3.This activity-based session will provide practical tools for current and future physical educators. Demonstration (and participation) of exciting and challenging skill-related fitness activities using scooters, noodles, handkerchiefs, balls, that become “Olympic and Roman Empire” equipment are used to help develop psychomotor skills and cognitive/affecting learning.
4.Student assessments will be provided to attendees as tangible evidence-based material that can be used to demonstrate student competency, learning, and even submitted to administration.
Goals/Objectives/Outcomes:
Goal 1: Skill-Related Fitness
1a. Objective: Understand the serious concern of student sedentary lifestyles decreasing not only health-related fitness but also skill-related fitness.
1b. Objective: Recognize the influence physical educators have on students’ motivation to participate and learn about skill-related fitness. Furthermore what a great opportunity to make relationships and promote how skill-related fitness prepares students for sport and lifestyle activities.
1c. Objective: Participate in skill-related activities and determine which skill-related fitness component was used in the activity.
Goal 2: Teaching Olympics and Roman Empire Historical Events
2a. Objective: Grade level content standards in history teach both Olympics and Roman Empire. Presenters will share inter-department field day events (history and physical education department) that brings history to life and builds relationship with parent volunteers and collaboration with other departments.
2b. Objective: Participate and demonstrate in physical activities that promote challenging yet successful experiences meeting both physical education and history content standards.
2c. Objective: Apply and implement activities learned in the session toward their own physical education program.
Goal 3: Practical Tools for Implementation
3a. Objective: Using the provided unit guide and resources given at the presentation, participants will be able to implement activities in their class.
3b. Objective: Using the provided student assessments, participants will identify at least one individual and one group assessment that can be used in their class.

Promoting Personal Fitness and Conditioning Using Social Media: Teacher Strategies
There is no surprise that students are “connected” online and through social media. This session shares facts and figures to why social media is a health and fitness promotion opportunity waiting to happen! University professors and teachers will receive practical strategies and examples of how to use social media to promote personal fitness and conditioning in their school.
Main Points:
1.With over 500 million Facebook users and 4,000 texts a month by teenagers alone, social media is a platform to share information and personal achievements. Using this concept, teachers and professors can use these same tools to promote their class and student personal health and fitness.
2.Along with teaching psychomotor skills, standards promote lifelong fitness and physical activity. Research has shown effective means to teaching this is to effectively teach to the cognitive and affective domain. This session will demonstrate how to teach key health and fitness concepts and build team cohesion through social media.
3.Practical examples will be provided by two university pilot programs using social media and personal fitness conditioning. Results can be applied to university and secondary school teaching.
4.Participants will be provided with material and resources to begin using social media to promote their own physical education program.
Goals/Objectives/Outcomes:
Goal 1: Social Media
1a. Objective: Understand the statistics and impact of social media has on youth and young adults.
1b. Objective: Recognize strategies that can be used to promote physical education classes as well as encouraging students’ personal fitness and health.
1c. Objective: Participate by logging in to social media sites that are currently using this method of teaching and social promotion.
Goal 2: University Examples
2a. Objective: Examine a wide-variety of social media examples related to personal health and fitness.
2b. Objective: Understand through personal student success stories of how social media has helped particularly young women.
2c. Objective: Identify Facebook, twitter, websites, etc. and video strategies that can be used in their own program.
Goal 3: Practical Tools for Implementation
3a. Objective: Using the provided handout of resources, links, and project starters, participants will be able to begin to implement using social media in their class.
3b. Objective: Using the provided learning level starter list, participants will identify at least one social media method that can be used in their class.
