Application of Research by and Educational Theorist:
I model some of Vygotsky's theories in this lesson plan. When practicing skills or playing games, I have my students work together in either pairs or groups. This promotes social interaction and allows for the students to learn from each other in addition to learning from teacher feedback. In this lesson, I allow the students to practice the 5 fitness components in groups. In this lesson I have the students set fitness goals on the first day of the unit. The students are setting goals and participating in activities that extend what they are learning in class outside of the classroom. This is meant to bring meaning to the topic and is meant to give the students a chance to participate in authentic learning which Vygotsky says will enhance learning.

Nutrition, I have learned plays a big part in our life. To be honest I was clueless about how much nutrition affected our everyday lives. I love going to the gym working out, now that I know what should go into my diet I think I will see a lot more improvement. I occasionally follow the latest diet fads because I believed it would be better for my health, but in turn it really hurt more than it helped! This Diet Analysis project has been extremely useful course because I can personally relate to it and can use much of the information learned to my daily routines. The Diet Analysis project was a real eye opener because it let me see what exactly I was putting into my diet.
Faculty Assignment Goal #1: To increase the capacity of youth, adults and families to make informed, science-based decisions which prevent chronic disease and maintain healthy weight status through physical activities and intake of nutrient-dense foods.
16.1 percent of children and adolescents aged 2 to 19 years were considered obese in 2005-08 (NHANES, 2014). The target goal is 14.5 %, this would be a 10% improvement from the current goal. At the end of the teaching project the parents of the audience would be able to identify the healthy target weight for their children. 20.8 percent of physician office visits by adult patients with a diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia included counseling or education related to diet or nutrition in 2007 (NAMCS, 2014). The target goal would be to improve the target percentage to 22.9 percent. At the conclusion of my presentation the audience would be able to verbalize what the healthy body mass index is. The last objective for my project would be to increase the proportion of persons with medical insurance in 2014 by 10 percent (NHIS, 2014). This would be evidenced by at the end of my teaching project the audience will be able to verbalize how they apply for insurance. By teaching the audience these objectives nurses provide people with health information so they can improve their decision making abilities and therefore decide if they want to change their behavior. While teaching the audience it must be identified of how people learn, since not everyone learns the same way. “Learners accept information based on many factors including what they know, what they believe, the culture in which they have been raised as well as how well they can understand and relate to the information they receive (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012).” According to the CDC, some strategies and solutions for my community to help decrease obesity in adults and children include information on resources such as the “Let’s Move! Child Care” initiative to help the children in the state fairgrounds community. See
I hope that my audience will classify the unhealthy food, and reduce the unhealthy foods intake after the first two

The health-related component of fitness is cardiorespiratory fitness. The aspect of basketball involved this component is running which improves my running to get the ball to shoot into the net. The indicators that I am working to improve the component while playing is to running around to open places and to running back to defend, improving this will make me more healthy and active. The skill-related component of fitness for basketball is reaction time since the sport is a fast paced game and you need to be awared of your surrounding after all there's other people on your team with the ball trying to get into open space and the opponent team defending their net. The indicators that I am working to improve the component while playing is to communicate with my team and be aware of my surroundings and if there is any open spots to try to score and pass to open teammates. The component will improve my life overall in school with decision making, being alert, etc.

After reading and completing the assessment at the end of Chapter One, the author realizes that wellness has not been as much of a priority for herself and her family as it should be.

She teaches her family good hygiene, in a loving nurturing environment. She also buys healthy snacks such as fruit, low fat cheese, skim milk, and yogurt. However, she also buys some cookies and chips. These items are not good snack foods. She realizes that ...
Health is very important for everyone at any age. Many of us know the popular saying “Health is Wealthy”. Health not only focuses on physical troubles but also focuses on mental troubles and social well-being.

The reinforcement construct refers to rewards or punishments someone gets for doing something. By going to every meeting, participants will be rewarded by small prizes. This will reward them for coming, and they will be more likely to return.

In order to create a behavior modification plan that will be successful for the individual, identifying cues, responses and consequences of eating behaviors is necessary. Control of eating behavior, physical activity, emotional, social, and psychological health must all be analyzed and interventions applied. Behaviors related to problems with intake and expenditure of energy must be specifically defined. Recording and analyzing eating and exercise behaviors to develop strategies aimed at learning new behaviors are essential.
