STUDENT PROJECT

 

This project is geared toward learning and reviewing the muscles of the body as well as practicing or describing the correct safety technique used in strength training.  A Poster, Diagram, Report, Demonstration, Video Analysis must meet the following criteria, or other teacher approved activities.

 

1.                  The student will analyze five (5) different strength-training exercises from the list at the bottom of the page.  (Ex. is abbreviated).

 

2.       1 exercise must work a leg muscle

          1 exercise must work an arm muscle

          1 exercise must work the abdominal muscles

          1 exercise must work the torso (cannot be abs.) (Ex. Bench Press)

          1 exercise of choice (must be different than the four above)

 

3.       The student will define the major muscle group worked
                  
Ex. Bench Press = Pectoralis Major.

 

4.                  The student will define the minor muscle(s) group worked
         
Ex. Bench Press = Triceps.

 

5.       The student will express the proper technique or mechanics for each exercise.

                                                Ex. Making sure that your upper arms travel directly out to the sides (elbow out), slowly bend your arms and lower the weight straight downward until it touches the plates.  Push the weight back up to the starting position, and repeat for the required number of repetitions.

 

6.                  The student will show an understanding of the safety precautions when lifting, and partner spotting techniques when using free weights.  Student will include the hazards and consequences of improper lifting technique.

Ex. Major mistakes include bouncing the weight off of the plates, arching your back while lifting the weight, and dropping the elbows in the direction of the feet.  Pain could occur if improper technique is not used.
