The resources are divided into seven categories: 1. Exercise Physiology; 2. Biomechanical Principles; 3. Social Psychological Principles; 4. Motor Learning; 5. Physical Activity; 6.Skillfulness; and 7. Teaching Ideas (this category covers all VSC topics).
Click on the standard to view that collection. In each collection you may find lesson starters (an idea to base a lesson), assessments, powerpoints, lesson plans, links, and more.
This website’s growth depends on the contributions of those who view it. If you would like to add an idea or you have an improvement on an existing one, email the webmaster here.
1. Exercise Physiology – Students will demonstrate the ability to design and participate in a regular, moderate to vigorous phsyical activity program that contributes to personal health and enhances cognitive and physical performance in a variety of academic, recreational, and life tasks.
2. Biomechanical Principles - Students will demonstrate an ability to use the principles of biomechanics to generate and control force to improve their movement effectiveness and safety.
3. Social Psychological Principles - Students will demonstrate the abillity to use skills essential for developing self-efficacy, fostering a sense of community, and working effectively with others in physical activity settings.
4. Motor Learning Principles – Students will demonstrate the ability to use motor skill principles to learn and develop proficiency through frequent practice opportunities in which skills are repeatedly performed correctly in a variety of situations.
5. Physical Activity - Students will demonstrate the ability to use the principles of exercise physiology, social psychology, and biomechanics to design and adhere to a regular, personalized, purposeful program of physical activity consistent with their health, performance, and fitness goals in order to gain health and cognitive/academic ability.
6. Skillfulness - Students will demonstrate the ability to enhance their performance in a variety of physical skills by developing fundamental movements skills, creating original skill combinations, combining skills effectively in skill themes, and applying skills.
7. Teaching Ideas – Teaching ideas could include cross curricular suggestions for incorporating reading, math, science, health and music into physical education or any other quality teaching ideas.
