Use the fitness scores and standards that appear in the table to complete the tasks below.
- Identify the health-related fitness component measured by each test administered to the
students.
- Assess each student's strengths and weaknesses and describe what you would say to each
student about his or her performance.
- Design an appropriate six-week fitness/exercise program for one of the two
students.
- The exercise program should be for use in the student's physical education class and/or
for the student's use on his/her own time.
- The exercises should enable the student to improve each fitness component in which he or
she scored below the healthy fitness standard and to maintain or improve each fitness
component in which the student's score was in the acceptable range.
- Prescribe a fitness program using standards related to frequency, intensity, duration
and mode of physical activity appropriate to the student's needs. Indicate the exercises the
student should perform while following the program.
- Identify principles of training you used to design the program and indicate how they were
appropriately applied.

 | In a positive motivative way, I would say "Let's try to improve on everything a little
at a time. It will be tough, but I want you to reach the goals that I think you can
accomplish. You are doing alright, but we need to do better. I want you to practice the
different fitness skills when you go home and when you come to gym class. |

 | Sit and reach |
|
 | Weaknesses

 | We need to improve on our scores a little bit. You are very close yo the required
goals and I know that if you try, practice and work hard, you will be able to those extra
reps of curl ups, push-ups and trunk lifts. You are only 30 seconds away from reaching
your mile goal, so let's practice and get better. |
