Lesson 2: Managing Risks Related To Physical Activity: Health-Related Fitness Components
Lesson 2: Managing Risks Related To Physical Activity: Health-Related Fitness Components
Introduction
In this lesson students begin to identify physical activities that interest them and that
contribute to the health-related fitness components. Students also begin to understand
that participating in physical activities involves certain levels of risk, but identifying these
risks in advance may help reduce or minimize the occurrence of injury.
________________________________________________________________________________
On the overhead projector or on the chalkboard, write the following health-related fitness
components:
cardiorespiratory endurance
muscular strength
muscular endurance
flexibility
As an activating strategy, brainstorm and discuss with the class the physical activities that
could contribute to each of these health-related fitness components. (These components
are addressed in Module B, Lesson 6.) Note that many physical activities contribute to
more than one health-related fitness component; therefore, ask students to identify the
primary contribution.

Background Information
No two people are created alike. By understanding this, we can begin to appreciate that
everyone participates in various physical activities for different reasons. Some may not
participate at all, while others participate for recreational purposes or for the thrill of
competition. Some enjoy the solitude of being physically active outdoors, while others
enjoy the company of a workout/exercise partner or the camaraderie of a team, or a little
of each, depending on the circumstances.

Where Am I Now?
To begin planning the physical activity practicum effectively, have students use RM 2–PA
to reflect on the physical activities that they enjoy participating in (or would consider
participating in) with friends, with family, or individually.

Background Information
The risk factors that may be involved during participation in physical activities include
level of instruction
level of supervision
facilities/environment
equipment
clothing/footwear
personal and other considerations
OUT-of-Class Safety Handbook: A Resource for Grades 9 to 12 Physical Education/Health
Education (Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth) provides general safety guidelines
and Physical Activity Safety Checklists to assist in planning for student participation in a
variety of physical activities and managing risk factors for each activity. Each activity has
been assigned a risk factor rating (RFR) on a scale of 1 to 4, with an RFR of 4 representing
the highest risk.

RM 3–PA: Physical Activity Inventory
This Physical Activity Inventory is intended to assist students in identifying activities that they
would like to include in their physical activity practicum. Students may choose physical activities
based on the type of activity, the health-related fitness component(s) to which the activity
contributes, the level of risk involved in the activity, or a combination of these factors.
A Physical Activity Safety Checklist is available for each of the activities listed. These checklists
contain information about managing risk, under the following risk factors:
level of instruction
level of supervision
facilities/environment
equipment
clothing/footwear
personal and other considerations
