220 – your age = Maximum Heart Rate.
220 – _____________ = MHR _____________
Target
Heart Rate (THR) This is the range in which you should
exercise to benefit from cardiovascular activity.
Maximum Heart Rate x .70 = Low End of Target Heart Rate
MHR _____________ x .70 = THR _____________ (low end of
range)
Maximum Heart Rate x .85 = High end of Target Heart Rate
MHR _____________ x .85 = THR _____________ (high end of
range)
Sample Task #2:
Differentiating Moderate Intensity and High Intensity
Exercise
The purpose of
the activity is to differentiate moderate intensity from
high intensity exercise by comparing heart rates.
-
Each student must find
their individual resting heart rate.
-
The students walk one lap
on a ¼ mile course at their own pace.
-
Upon completion of the lap,
the students should take their individual heart rates
either with a heart rate monitor or counting the pulse
from the carotid artery.
-
Repeat procedure with
students running one lap at their own pace on the same ¼
mile course.
-
Compare the difference
between heart rates and discuss the reasons for the
differences.
-
As an additional
assignment, post a chart displaying the number of
calories burned during various forms of exercise and
have the students determine the calories used during the
walk and the run.
-
As an option, increase the
exercise time to 12 minutes, increasing intensity each
class session:
-
students can calculate
and chart resting heart rate, maximum heart rate,
and target heart rate zone for most efficient
burning of calories, and
-
by using a ¼ mile track
divided into 10ths of a mile by using cones numbered
1-10, students can determine pace; hand one straw
per lap to each student to aid in lap counting; pace
can be determined by counting the number of complete
laps to the neatest tenth of a mile and dividing
that figure into 12 minutes (ex.: running six laps
or 1.5 miles in 12 minutes converts to an 8-minute
pace).

Sample Task #1
Alternative Party
The purpose of
this activity is to have students will identify
non-alcoholic ways to entertain and/or have fun. Each
student will (1) List 10 things they do for fun and
enjoyment (2) Learn how to make at least one non-alcoholic
beverage, and (3) Learn how to play a group game (4) Plan a
party for their friends.
Introduction:
Open discussion about why people drink, the effects of
drinking. Talk about alcohol as a social lubricant and how
it alters mood and impairs ability to function properly.
Step 1: Have
each student write 10 ways they have fun. They have to be
legal and cannot harm others in any manner. Have the class
combine their examples until you have 101 ways. A fun idea
is to compile their combined responses into a handout to
give each of them entitled "101 non-alcoholic ways to have
fun."
Step 2: Divide
into pre-assigned groups and hand out recipes that you as
the teacher supply. You could also have each group come up
with their own favorite drink recipe in advance as an option
which works great and gives the students ownership rights.
Each group should have a blender and a different recipe.
Groups should make enough drinks to share with the entire
class so that everyone receives a taste of each drink. A
compiled sheet of drink recipes should be made and given to
each of the students entitled ‘Tasty Drink Recipes for an
Absolutely Sober Party.’
Step 3: Each
group should be assigned a couple of days in advance to come
up with a group game to teach and play with the entire
class. This provides students with yet another non-alcoholic
way to have fun. Students are responsible for teaching and
providing any necessary equipment needed for the game. Each
group should also prepare a handout for each student in the
class with the name of their game, the rules, and
instructions on how to play. Assess each group using a
scoring rubric based on elements you established with the
assignment, i.e. creativity/originality, fun factor, group
involvement, clear rules and instructions, etc.
Step 4: Clean-Up/Closure. Debrief with
students on the activity getting their valuable feedback,
insights, and comments.
Sample Task #2:
Drug
Combo

this activity is to recognize that combining chemical
substances can have serious consequences.

-
Have students develop a
