Week 6 This task can be used to stretch the knowledge of the more able
students as they will be gaining a wider knowledge of the fitness
tests.
Week 8 This task is good for promoting teamwork with the group. The
booklet produced can become a central learning document with the
unit. If you have weaker students you can team them up with more
knowledgeable students who can support them with the more
difficult issues.

Outcome 6.2 Understand the practice of health screening
Section 2 gives the student the opportunity to explore the practice of health screening including key components such as questionnaires and client consultation. Important
factors related to client communication are covered in terms of questioning, listening and non verbal communication. Students will also be expected to take a hands-on
approach to health monitoring tests, for example, blood pressure and lung function.

Week 1 This task is designed to raise awareness between health and
fitness. The more able students can be extended by asking them to
explain why factors affect health and fitness, for example, smoking,
They may also want to look for links between factors, for example,
drinking with dietary problems.
Week 9 It is paramount that the students are exposed to a variety of health
related questionnaires to increase their awareness.
Week 10 The students will probably need some guidance on the areas for
research – so that their focus remains fairly tight. You can try to
extend the students’ reading range by getting them to search health
magazines, newspapers and other health related articles.
Week 10 You may want to use this case study as a major piece of homework
used as a learning check. This is because there are a variety of key
topics covered.
