Muscular strength and muscular endurance are other major components of health-related physical fitness. Prior to entering into this discussion, review this week’s required and recommended readings that highlight various resistance exercises, along with pictures and a description for each exercise. However, do not feel limited to use only the exercises presented in your readings but instead, feel free to utilize additional exercises from online sources such as TrainOnline.com, acefitness.org, Fitness.com, or similar credible online sources of interest to you. Be creative and have fun!
Examine exercise prescription by selecting and demonstrating three strength training exercises using video as your means of presentation.
To begin, select one exercise for each of the major muscle groups (lower, core, and upper body). The goal of this assignment is to compile a large assortment of exercises among all class members. Therefore, do not hesitate to choose some of the less common exercises.
Then, decide on a recording and presentation method for your exercises using one of the following options:
Option A: Direct Video Recording:
Write a script for each of your exercises. Name and save your script as a MS Word document.
Record the exercises using a cell phone or digital video camera. Be sure to clearly demonstrate the starting position and movement (Refer back to pages 104-110 of your course text for examples) of each exercise.
Upload your video to YouTube (Android ; iPhone/iPad) or other web-based video platform and obtain a link to share with others.
Paste your video link and script within your initial post in this discussion forum.
Option B: Create a Screencast of a PowerPoint (or equivalent) presentation:
Take photos of key points in each exercise and place them in PowerPoint using appropriate titling and transitions. (Refer back to pages 104-110 of your course text for examples.)
Write speaker’s notes as a script for each of your exercises at the bottom of each slide.
Use either Jing or Screencast-O-Matic to record your presentation and voice. (You will need either a laptop’s built-in microphone or an external microphone headset to record your voice.)
Using either screen cast software package, obtain a link to share with others.
Paste your video link and post your PowerPoint file within your initial post in this discussion forum.
