This course will guide high school students to explore the physical, nutritional, emotional, and spiritual aspects of growing into a healthy adult, as well as provide instruction in concepts related to the study of exercise science. Students will study the human body systems, senses, genetics, temperaments, and physical influences on thoughts and feelings. Emotional stability and mental illness are respectfully covered, as well as the value of another human being, our culture, our biological sex as related to our gender roles, our families, socialization, communication skills, and conflict resolution skills. Your students will gain an in-depth knowledge of both macro-nutrients and micro-nutrients, including the importance of exercise and a proper diet. Students will receive instruction on the form and function of various exercises and will be challenged to develop and carry out a regular personal exercise plan.
Parental Note: This is a full health textbook. Some students may not be mature enough to discuss some topics. The reproductive systems are covered in detail, including accurate, yet respectful, illustrations and descriptions.
