Exercise And Heart Rate Tracking Sheet (Page 2 of 5) in pdf

teacher will then discuss what each briefly are and their importance in exercising. The teacher

should then tell the students that they will be go on the trail for a jog but first they will be put

through a light stretch to loosen themselves up. The teacher should discuss the general importance

of stretching before exercising. After stretching the students will now go on the jog, at their own

pace, along the desired trail or designated course. When asked by the students how hard do they

need to run, a good idea for the teacher to tell the students that if they can jog and comfortably talk

at the same time then they are not jogging hard enough, and if they get out of breathe very quickly

then they are running too hard.

Student Task:

The students will use a sheet of paper from their notebook to put their name, and

other required identifying information on it. They should then be asked if they already know how

to find their pulse, or heart rate. At this time the teacher will help those students who do not, find

their pulse. They will then be asked to count the number of pulses while the teacher takes the

stopwatch, or wristwatch, and counts off 15 seconds. The students should then take the number of

pulses and multiply by four. On the sheet of paper they will write down that information. After the

students have finished, the teacher should now discuss what the MHR is and its importance and

give the students the formula to find their predicted MHR. The students will also figure out what

their own MHR is and record that information on their sheet of paper. After doing so, the teacher

will define what the THR zone is and its importance to exercising. The teacher will instruct the

students how to find their THR zone by using their MHR. The students will then record that

information on to their sheet of paper. The students will now be put through some light stretches

led by the teacher that the teacher has chosen, preferably from the “Teacher Information Sheet”.

The students will then be told to carefully jog the trail or course, designated by the teacher, and at

there on pace, but it must at least be a mild jog. Also before they begin their jog, they should be

instructed as to where to the jog will end and that upon finishing they will then calculate their heart

rate again by checking their pulse the same way they first calculated their heart rate, but they will be

doing so on their own by counting off fifteen seconds this time, and to record that information on

their sheet of paper and note to themselves if their recently checked heart rate is within their THR

zone.

For additional math practice, and for the sake of “keeping the students in check”, the teacher may

instruct the students to calculate what percentage their heart rate is out their MHR after they are

finished with the jog and calculating their second heart rate.

Teacher Closure:

The teacher should have everyone to take a moment to catch there breathe. The

students should now be asked if their recently measured heart rate was within their THR zone. If

their heart rate was within their THR zone, then inform the students that they exercised within that

zone. The teacher can now discuss with the students what it was like to exercise in their THR zone,

if they were able to reach it. If they were not able to do so, inform them that they now will have

some understanding of what it would be like to exercise in their target zone. The teacher should

remind the students of the importance of exercising and doing so in their THR zone. Then, the

teacher should also remind the students that they need to have all information on their sheet of

paper.

Student Assessment:

The students will be evaluated on their participation in the calculations of

the various heart rates as well as the period of stretching and jogging.

Suggestions for re-teaching:

The teacher can make sure that the students know that the overall

idea of the lesson was the importance of training in their THR zone. Review the idea when the

students are assigned to other types of exercises. The students can take this knowledge and apply it

to anytime they workout or exercise on their own.

Extension:

It may be a good idea for the teacher to have the students pair off with someone who

they feel will is in about the same shape as they are or will keep the same pace as they do. This way

no one will be on a section of the trail alone.
