Health Opportunities Through Physical Education
"Health Opportunities Through Physical Education" (HOPE) is a high school health and physical education text containing 18 chapters devoted principally to FITT formula physical activity for activities in the Physical Activity Pyramid, and 18 chapters on teaching health and wellness concepts such as disease prevention, relationship building and healthy lifestyles. The combined health and physical education text is designed to help students master skills such as self-assessment and monitoring, goal setting, time management, and personal portfolio creation. The book is based on the HELP philosophy (Health for Everyone for Lifetime in a very Personal way) and uses the Stairway to Fitness, Health and Wellness model to lead students from dependence to independence in problem-solving and decision-making.
