GRADE 11
Self-Learning Module
1
Objectives:
1. A greater appreciation for strength training and the understanding that it is a necessary component in the
pursuit of lifelong fitness.
2. An understanding of the basic principles of strength training.
3 . The ability to set up a strength training program designed to meet his/her needs that includes at least two
exercises for each primary muscle group of the body.
4. Proper breathing and lifting technique for all exercises.
5. Knowledge of the three basic techniques of strength training: dynamic, static, and isokinetic.
6. An understanding of exercises that work specific muscles of the body.
PRE-TEST
Directions: TRUE OR FALSE. Write True if the statement is true and False if it is not true in your answer sheet.
1. Too much strength training without a significant amount of recovery time can tear the muscles
down, rather then build up.
2. Strength training is more on mental (psychological) than physical.
3. Soft, flabby muscles become hard and firm when you do a regular exercise.
4. The rate of improvement in strength exercise is directly related to the intensity of training, not the
duration.
5. It is much easier to maintain fitness than to attain fitness.
DISCUSSIONS:
Safety
1. There is absolutely no horseplay allowed in the Weight Room.
2. There is absolutely no gum chewing allowed in the Weight Room.
3. Students are not allowed to lift any weights or use any machines in the Weight Room until the
instructor is present.
4. Students are required to warm up and stretch before strength training.
5. Students should not attempt to lift any weights beyond his/her capacity.
6. Students are prohibited from exercising without wearing appropriate clothing and footwear.
7. Students are required to use a spotter when bench pressing, incline bench pressing, barbell
squatting, and power cleaning.
8. Students are required to wear a weight training belt when doing barbell squats and power
cleans.
9. When using machines, individuals are responsible for making sure that all pins are in place and
that they keep their hands free from danger.
10. Students should not attempt to use any machines or pieces of equipment without having the
knowledge to do so. Always ask the teacher if you are not sure.

Terminology, Methods, and Techniques
Physical Image
There are many reasons why people should have a true physical image. Some of the main ones are:
1. Knowing what you are physically can help you adjust your physical appearance (i.e., an
overweight person may realize that they should lose weight and a person that may be physically weak
may realize that they should improve their overall strength).
2. To better understand your limits in selecting activities. The value of physical activities depends on
your ability to adjust to them.
3. Certain physical characteristics increase one’s odds of contracting various degenerative diseases
later in life. It’s important to realize what can be done to prevent the early onset of such diseases.

Activity and You
By forming good habits of exercise, diet, rest (sleep), and recreation it is possible to increase
the number of years that you can enjoy quality physical activity. The most obvious effect of regular
exercise on the body is an increase in muscle development. Soft, flabby muscles become hard and firm.
This improves physical appearance, increases strength and endurance, and enables you to better enjoy
physical activities. Medical evidence states that the lack of exercise makes you a more likely candidate
for heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, backaches, nervous tension, obesity, psychosomatic disorders, and
many other ailments. Physical fitness is only one aspect of total fitness. Total fitness must involve
emotional, social, and moral fitness as well as physical fitness.
Inactivity leads to deterioration. This is true whether it is physical or mental inactivity. The
functional efficiency of an organism improves with use and regresses with disuse.

Setting Up A Strength Training Program
1. You must first decide if you want to “tone-up” or “bulk-up” and ultimately whether or not you
want to focus on developing strength or endurance. Toning-up tends to dramatically increase
muscle endurance and bulking-up tends to dramatically increase muscle strength.
a. “Toning-up” consists of doing a high number of repetitions (12 or more) using “light” weights for
multiple sets (2-4); decrease the weight if you can’t lift the desired weight 12 times (it’s too heavy).
b. “Bulking-up” consists of doing a low number of repetitions (10 or less) using “heavy” weights for
multiple sets (3-5); increase the weight if you can lift the desired weight more than 10 times (it’s too
light). It is essential to warm-up by using lighter weights before attempting to lift a heavy weight.
2. Isolate the muscle or muscle groups that you wish to develop and put that muscle or muscle group
under stress that is challenging for you, regardless of the weight that you are using or the
repetitions you are doing. The basic “overload” principle of weight training is that no muscle will
truly become stronger if it is not put into a stressful situation; you must feel the burn. For that
reason, you will dramatically increase your results if you go to failure during every set of
repetitions; once again, you must feel the burn. For the record, it is a myth that girls will look like
boys if they lift “heavy” weights.
3. Divide (split) your body into parts and only workout specific muscle groups on specific days; doing
so will allow you to exercise more efficiently and effectively during class. Make sure that you work
out every primary muscle group at least once a week.
