Personal Fitness 2 (Conditioning Program and Performance)

Personal Fitness 2 (formerly Weight Training and Conditioning Program and Performance) builds on the foundation established in Personal Fitness 1, advancing students’ knowledge and skills in weight training, conditioning, and performance evaluation. With the knowledge and experience gained from the Personal Fitness I course, students will apply scientific principles to analyze movement performance; implement effective practice strategies for skillful execution in specialized movement forms; and expand expertise in evaluating performance skill and training program design. The course emphasizes measurable benefits of strength training and conditioning, including muscle development, core strength, injury prevention, and enhanced athletic performance. Students will continue to focus on the five health-related components of fitness including cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Students will assess their individual fitness needs, formulate personal goals, and develop individual fitness programs. Instruction includes emphasis on health risk factors related to lifestyles and how nutrition affects wellness.
