Project Title: Resistance Training Curriculum for High School Students in A Physical Education Setting

Abstract/Summary:

High school physical education is required throughout the United States. Within these physical education courses, there are numerous options of what a student can take to achieve the necessary credits, such as resistance training. Popularity of resistance training as been increasing within the adolescent population. However, many resistance training courses do not cover the necessary material/topics to provide students with a safe and complete lesson to fuel their learning. Within this schoolyear-long curriculum, proper safety measures, understanding of resistance training terminology, and overall competence of functional movements must be emphasized.
