Many areas of fitness were covered in PE 1 this year. We focused on flexibility, cardiovascular strength/endurance, muscular strength/endurance, and body composition. Flexibility is the possible range of motion at various joints. Flexibility is often overlooked when doing physical activities because it is very easy and possible to complete the activity without being flexible. Three exercises were used to determine our flexibility level; the sit and reach test, the prone trunk extension, and the shoulder lift. The sit and reach test was performed by sitting at one side of the box, with your feet flat against the underside of the overhang, and stretching your arms over the top of the overhang as far as you could without moving your knees. My first score was 16 inches, which received a rating of poor. My goal was to progress my flexibility and receive 18”, which I did. The prone trunk extension was performed by lying face down on your stomach, keeping the pelvis in contact with the floor, and raising your chest as high as you could.
