Muscle Mechanics Plan

Students will apply their understanding of muscle mechanics to identify which muscle groups activate during jumping jacks, sit-ups, and push-ups through a targeted quiz. This session aims to reinforce key concepts and prepare students for deeper physical fitness discussions.

Understanding how muscles work in everyday movements builds foundational knowledge in physical fitness, supports healthy activity habits, and prepares students for deeper exploration of anatomy and wellness topics.
