3. Record individual resting, target, and recovery heart rates during selected fitness activities.
4. Compare resting heart rate to recovery heart rate.
5. Report the perceived level of exertion during an activity.
6. Evaluate fitness scores using health-related test norms.
7. Select activities to improve physical fitness level.
8. Match health-related fitness components to a valid assessment of each component.

1. Understand how to set a realistic fitness goal.
2. Develop short-term and long-term goals as related to fitness.
3. Select a health-related fitness component, set a short-term goal, and write a plan.
4. Select a health-related fitness component, set a long-term goal, and write a plan.
5. Identify opportunities within the community for regular participation in physical activities (e.g., swimming, community walks and runs, park district programs).
6. Identify facilities within the community to use for regular participation in physical activities (e.g., parks, ice rinks, tennis courts).
7. Use frequency, intensity, time, and type (FITT) when writing a plan to meet your fitness goal.
