Techniques include a variety of fun fitness ideas, specialized cardiovascular and weight training classes, possible collaborations with the school health teacher, food intake analyses, modification of existing activities for higher aerobic intensity, and other topics. Handouts and a webpage will supplement presentation materials. |
