The document discusses the benefits of resistance training and fitness for physical education students. It outlines state standards around physical fitness and describes how physical activity can improve student learning, brain function, and mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Resistance training involves weight exercises that strengthen muscles and improve endurance. Regular exercise can boost brain volume in the hippocampus, associated with memory and learning. The document recommends students set personal fitness goals and lists major muscle groups targeted by resistance training exercises.

● Involves engaging in performances to improve strength and endurance
● Performances are a variety of exercises. (Often involves weight)
● Classified as an intense physical activity

5. Fitness and Students
● Engaging in quality physical activity reduces stress
○ Increases student learning by 20% (Winter, Breitenstein, Mooren, Voelker, Knecht, 2007)
● Physical activity improves brain function
○ Including earnest positive impact on mental health

6. Why Resistance Training and Fitness?
● Yes for the physical benefit such as:
○ Getting stronger and faster, reducing injuries, adding muscle, and losing fat
● Benefits go beyond than just the physical attributes
○ Reduces risks of major depression, anxiety, and stress
○ Individuals with higher fitness levels have greater brain volume in the hippocampus
■ Hippocampus- associated with memory, leading to long-term retention.

7. Mind and body are
closely linked after all! When the body feels well so does
the mind!
