Fitness
and Performance Grade 9 – Not For Credit
Prerequisite: A desire to begin a lifelong journey to
a healthier, more fit and more active lifestyle
Fitness and Performance 9 is a course designed to begin acquainting
individuals with the realm of fitness and performance-based training. Fitness and Performance 9 begins in the
classroom with a few short theoretical lessons on anatomy, goal setting,
injury management and nutrition, prior to diving into practical hands-on
learning of training and movement concepts. The emphasis in this
course is on building physical literacy and body awareness through proper
postural positioning and functionality, correcting improper movement patterns
and refining existing movement patterns; all the while learning the basics of
fitness and performance-based training.
A secondary focus is learning the etiquette and culture of training environments. At the end of the course, participants will have the ability to enter community facilities seamlessly, with the knowledge required to navigate an unfamiliar culture and training space successfully.
This active class requires students to come ready to move and train with an open mind. They must have an openness to new concepts and a willingness to be vulnerable, to possibly fail, and then grow as a result. Students are not free to follow their own training regimes during the scope of this course, as all content, concepts and exercises are teacher directed.
