Designing and Teaching Fitness Education Courses
«“The authors of Designing and Teaching Fitness Education Courses: Innovative Ideas and Practical Solutions for Secondary Schools, Jayne Greenberg, Nichole Calkins, and Lisa S. Spinosa, provide what the book’s title conveys, and internationally recognized contributing author Lisa Dorfman also expertly weaves concepts involving nutrition, wellness, and consumer issues into the book's content . . . Useful tools and resources include over 200 instructional photographs showing flexibility and strength exercises that require no equipment and that can be easily adapted for those who participate. Accommodations and modifications are detailed at the end of each exercise. Photos are innovatively indicative of inclusion fitness education: teenagers representing different sexes, races, ethnic backgrounds, ability, and disabilities. Participants in photos are dressed in fitness workout apparel realistically appropriate for secondary school ages. This text appears to be the first that provides numerous photos displaying examples of diversity and inclusion in physical activity through fitness education . . . Those who are teaching or preparing to teach courses in fitness education based upon standards will find this book to be tremendously beneficial, particularly in the USA and Canada. Those who are willing to design and teach fitness education courses at the secondary level in other countries can easily use the information included to fit cultural and national contexts by using the solid and scientifically based foundation for development emphasized in this book.”
