Medium Term Plan - Health & Fitness - Year 10

The Year 10 Health & Fitness medium-term plan, tailored for Key Stage 4 students, spans six lessons with the objective to enhance students' ability to replicate fitness techniques across various activities, take on different roles, evaluate performance, and deepen their understanding of healthy lifestyles. The plan is structured to progress from emerging levels—where students demonstrate basic replication of techniques and understand the benefits of exercise—to developing and mastery levels, where students adapt skills, lead activities, and challenge their physical and mental capacities. The knowledge component of the plan includes skill replication, understanding bodily responses to exercise, and awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses in fitness. Additionally, students learn about the importance of fitness for improving physical capacity.

The skills focus encompasses circuit movements, aerobics, and running for both speed and endurance. The learning sequence is designed to build upon existing fitness techniques, encourage technique replication in various contexts, and foster decision-making and feedback skills. Key concepts such as accurate replication, developing physical and mental capacity, refining performance skills, problem-solving, setting challenges, and personal development are central to the curriculum. Students will also evaluate and improve their performance through self-assessment and understanding the nature of fitness-based activities. Explicit references to potential careers in the sports industry are made to connect the curriculum to real-world applications. The implementation of the plan is detailed with weekly learning objectives, lesson tasks, and differentiated assessment tools, ensuring a comprehensive approach to health and fitness education.
