It provides the material teachers need for implementing health-related fitness education, including curriculum development, health-related fitness activities, and educational workshops for teachers. It's complemented by the following resources to provide a comprehensive health-related fitness education program.
FITNESSGRAM® and ACTIVITYGRAM®, developed by the Cooper Institute, provide the fitness and activity assessment components for physical education programs that include comprehensive health-related fitness education.
