Participating in physical activities can help you:
improve your health;
do better in school;
improve your fitness;
grow stronger;
have fun being active with friends;
feel happier;
maintain a healthy body weight;
improve your self-confidence; and
learn new skills.
The aim of this lesson is for cadets to have fun participating in physical activities. Choose activities the cadets will enjoy. Survey cadets to determine those physical activities in which they are interested.
Several physical activities may be conducted concurrently. Choice is an important factor when it comes to enjoying physical activity. The more varying types of physical activities cadets are exposed to, the more likely they are to find an activity they will be interested in pursuing on a regular basis.
Choose activities based on human and material resources accessible to the corps / squadron.
Fitness videos (conducted by a certified trainer), certified trainers and Canadian Forces Personnel Support Programs (PSP) staff may be used to conduct this training.
Activities chosen for this training are not limited to the lists presented above but must be age appropriate, safe, and in-line with the aim of promoting physical fitness.
Physical activity periods may be conducted consecutively to provide the cadets an opportunity to participate in longer, varied physical activities.
