7th grade test helpful hints

Your test is on the 5 fitness components.
You need to know the 5 components, the definition and the test we do in class.
You also need to know the F.I.T. principle for cardiovascular(CV) and muscle endurance(ME).
It is the back side of the third page of the handout we worked on.

Know the formula for your training heart rate and HOW you got it.

Also think of a game we do in LLF that incorporates CV & ME.

You do use the concepts of overload, specificity and progression in improving your muscle endurance.  Plus, of course, short and long term goals.

We went over everything in class!  Study!  Know the concept of how to work out for these first 2 components.

It is important that you read the questions carefully, some are 2 parters.
Many you have to explain, not just list!


Eat a hearty breakfast and don't forget your handout!  It is due also!

6th grade test helpful hints

Your test is on the food groups and what to eat for a healthy breakfast.

For the food groups you need to know the actual groups like fruits and vegetables.
You also need to know the nutrient and what the nutrient is good for,
example is milk has calcium, which is good for your bones.
You also need to draw some foods in each food group.
And the serving size, plus what a serving looks like.
You need to be specific.
Feel free to add the information you learned today on fiber!  It can go in fruits and vegetables.

A healthy breakfast is the easy part!  We went over it today in class and all last week!
Scrambled eggs w/spinach, strawberries, vanilla yogurt and whole grain toast w/jam is a good example!     I want a food from each food group.

Study and eat a healthy breakfast so your brain is ready!

And don't forget your handout, it is due also!
