Five Components of Fitness (Body Composition)

1. In groups of five divide up each component of fitness. Put your component of fitness in the blog title. Example - Muscular Strength.

Body Composition.

2. With your component of fitness define that component.

Body Composition describes the percentages of fat, bone , and muscle. An adult male body should have 13 to 17 percent fat. The Body Composition usually refers the amount of fat to the amount of tissue. Body Composition can be measured in some ways. One example is using clipers.

3. Give detailed activities (at least two) that you or the class can do to improve that component of fitness. Explain how that activity improves that component of fitness.

To improve the component, the class can do sit ups and pushups. Sit ups can help burn fat around the chest and pushups can help burn fat at the arms and some on the chest.

4. Tell me the other members of your group. First name only!!! (if you have six members in your group two of you do the same component independently)

New Games

1. What did you like about the new games unit?

What I like about the New Games Unit is letting us have creativity and have fun.
2. What would you like to see changed?

I would like to see the number of people per group increase from four people to six people. Then, we can have more ideas of how to make a game.
3. How would you make those changes if you were the teacher?

I would change the amount of rules from eight to ten. I would do it because some games might need to have more than eight rules. For example, one of the rules in the game my group and I made was that you have to score the lacrosse ball in the lacrosse net and the soccer ball in the soccer ball net. There were a lot of rules to our game so it was hard to "squeeze" it all into eight rules.
