Learners

• 12th Grade
• Public High School
• Kinesiology Class
• Basic Computer Skills and Motor Skills
• Biomechanics Software

3
Lesson Objective

• Students will be able to identify the wrong
  running mechanics
• Students will be able to explain the right
  techniques to run properly
• Students will be able to graph together a work
  plan for fixing the problem

4
Content Standards

• Students demonstrate successful movement forms at
  a basic level and some movement forms at a
  mastery level.
• Students apply movement concepts and principles
  to the learning and development of motor skills.
• Students demonstrate ways to achieve and maintain
  a health-enhancing level of physical fitness.

5
Technology Standards

• Students are proficient in the use of technology.
• Students use technology to locate, evaluate, and
  collect information from a variety of sources.
• Students use technology tools to process data and
  report results.
• Students use technology resources for solving
  problems and making informed decisions.

6
Lesson Introduction

• Define the proper mechanics to running.
• Video on professional runners and past students
  with proper mechanics.
• Introduce students to the Biomechanics' software

7
Stimulus

• Students will
• Be grouped into groups of two.
• Video type their partners running.
• Convert their video image of partners into 3D
  figures on computer using the Biomechanics'
  software.

8
Stimulus Continued

• Compare their partners 3D figure side by side
  with 3D figures of professional runners or past
  student with proper running mechanics.
• Chart down their findings and then make a workout
  plan to fix the problem if there is one.
• Retake their partners running and 3D figure two
  weeks before semester is over to see if there is
  any improvement.

9
Lesson Closure

• Students will present their findings to class.
• Students will present their solutions.
• Students will be tested on the proper procedures
  leading up to the conclusion and solution.

10
Follow up

• Group discussion on if their was any changes in
  the first typing to the second one.
• Group discussion on if their workout plan helped
  their partner on improving his running mechanics.
• Group discussion on the use of technology in a
  Kinesiology class.
