Musculoskeletal Fitness Warmup
A pilot project conducted through in partnership with a number of Iowa FitnessGram schools helped to refine and evaluate a musculoskeletal fitness warmup for use in PE. The warmup fills a gap in PE programming by providing a simple and effective way for teachers to promote better musculoskeletal fitness as part of normal PE activities. The project was led by a graduate student (Jess Velthoff) and she has posted all of the needed materials, station cards and associated interval music for use by teachers in the network.
