1 9 th Grade Personal Fitness Plan 4 Week Activity PLAN & 1 Week Food LOG Name: Period: Date: Passing the Fitnessgram test in 9 th grade is a requirement in the state of California. In the Sweetwater district, students who fail the Fitnessgram in 9 th grade are enrolled in a physical education course in 10 th grade called Fitness for Life. Students must continue to enroll in a physical education course every year until they pass the Fitnessgram. Passing the Fitnessgram is not a requirement to graduate. Statistically, students have the best chance of passing the Fitnessgram in 9 th grade. As a 9 th grade student it is very important you understand the fitness criteria you will be evaluated on for the Fitnessgram. Earlier this year your physical education teacher gave you a baseline (or practice) physical fitness test. The results from this test will provide you, your teacher, and your parents/guardians an understanding of your current fitness levels. This information is helpful so we can prepare you for the official Fitnessgram test administered in February. A lot is riding on the Fitnessgram test you will be taking in February. By putting in the work on this fitness plan and then completing the workouts you set up for yourself over winter break, you are giving yourself a great chance to pass the Fitnessgram. The Fitness Plan Components: Review results from baseline fitness test. Set SMART goals. Review current nutrition practices. Create an Activity Plan (to be completed during winter break). Page 1

7 Fitness Planning Definitions In order to progress and meet your goals, you need to increase the workload effectively. Without increasing the workload, you will plateau (or stay the same). When making your plan, it is important you include the fitness concepts discussed below. It s a little tricky making a fitness plan to help you meet your goals. Too little overload and progression = not much or any change. Too much overload and progression = possible injury, burn out, or chronic fatigue. 10 % Rule The training intensity or duration of exercise should not be increased by more than 10% per week. Principle of Recuperation The body requires recovery periods between exercise training sessions to adapt to the exercise stress. Therefore, a period of rest is essential for achieving maximal benefit from exercise. Overtraining The result of failure to get enough rest between exercise training sessions. Symptoms include chronic fatigue, over use injuries, weight loss, and loss of desire to play favorite sports or work out. Overload Overload is the amount of resistance or distance run to provide a greater stress on the body than it is normally used to in order to increase fitness. Example: Susie normally jogs 10 minutes, but today she is going to jog 30 minutes. She has applied a greater stress on her body. Progression Progression is the way a person should increase the workout (weight lifted or distance run). It is a gradual increase either in frequency, intensity, or time or a combination of all three components. Example: On Monday, Susie is going to jog 10 minutes. On Tuesday, Susie will jog 12 minutes, and on Wednesday she will jog 15 minutes. She is gradually increasing her jog time. Page 7
