VIRTUAL REALITY IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Welcome

Congratulations on finishing yet another outstanding semester in health and physical education. Today is the culminating event we discussed in class. We will be exercising both the mind and the body simultaneously through the game of Fitness Jeopardy. All items are related to specific content we learned in class this past year (baseball, soccer, volleyball, the Olympics, and weight training) Please put on your heart rate monitors and pedometers, and give me a “thumbs up” when you are ready to begin.
