High School Course 2- Students are becoming more interested in their personal development and recognize the value of high-level physical performance for their future lives and careers. Tenth-graders continue to improve their cognitive functioning. As tenth-graders mature, their egocentrism decreases. Through social interaction, they learn they are not the sole focus of attention. They are learning to express their emotions in more appropriate ways, and their moral reasoning is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Course 2 is their last opportunity for formal instruction in physical education. Course 2 addresses combative, gymnastics/ tumbling, and team activities. Instruction on the effects of physical activity on dynamic health and the mechanics of body movement is integrated throughout the school year. Course 2 is designed to be taken after Course 1 is completed. Typically, tenth-graders enroll in Course 2, though some students will take Course 2 as eleventh- or twelfth-graders.

Below you will find some of our P.E. I students working on their cardiovascular activity at Bedwell Bayfront Park. This is a trail that is near campus, it is only a 5 minute walk. Students get the opportunity to increase their cardiovascular fitness component every time they participate in their cardio activities. Students attend this trail twice a week and perform cardiovascular activities such as the mile run and power walks. These activities boost and elevate their fitness levels and prepare them for the fitness state testing.

During the strength fitness unit, students plan and complete specific exercises using resistance bands or loop bands that will strengthen their skeletal muscle system. Students learn about safety, the importance of warming up, form and technique using resistance bands, a variety of resistance exercises, and how to increase muscle strength. They also learn to distinguish which muscles are being targeted with specific exercises. Below you will find students performing exercises using resistance bands that are targeting upper and lower extremity muscles.
