Quality Physical Education National Standards

Standard 1: The physically literate individual demonstrates competency in a variety of motor

skills and movement patterns.

 This standard involves the movements such as catching the ball and reaching out for a

ball. It’s the underhand and overhand movements seen during a throw. Standard one

would fall into the psychomotor domain as students are learning motor skills.

Standard 2: The physically literate individual applies knowledge of concepts, principles,

strategies and tactics related to movement and performance.

 This can be anything from having knowledge of the space surrounding you such as

dribbling a ball, you have concept of the things around you so that you are able to move

with the ball. Standard two falls into psychomotor and cognitive domains because they are

learning both motor and strategy skills.

Standard 3: The physically literate individual demonstrates the knowledge and skills to achieve

and maintain a health-enhancing level of physical activity and fitness.

 This can be knowledgement of a warm up activity to get the heart rate going and showing

students how to cooldown (example: stretching) after an activity. Standard three falls into

cognitive domain because students are exhibiting skills in each activity.

Standard 4: The physically literate individual exhibits responsible personal and social behavior

that respects self and others.

  An example of standard four would be following directions and rules in group play where

an individual can take advice or help from student or teacher on how to play (constructive

play). Helping pick up a team mate who fell would be an example. Standard four falls

under affective domain because here we see social behaviors and values during play.

Standard 5: The physically literate individual recognizes the value of physical activity for

health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression and/or social interaction.

 This is seen has fitness that an individual now enjoys on free time and or school setting

such as joining a running group or football team. Standard five has both cognitive and

affective domain because we have a since of feeling toward the fitness activity and we

have knowledge in the activity which makes it a reason to enjoy it.

1. An ACSMCP must remain in good standing relative to governmental requirements as a

condition of continued Credentialing ( CCRB Executive Council, Board of Trustees,

2005).

2. ACSMCPs respect the rights of clients, colleagues, and health professionals, and shall

safeguard client confidences within the boundaries of the law ( CCRB Executive Council,

Board of Trustees, 2005).

 3. ACSMCPs are truthful about their qualifications and the limitations of their expertise and

provide services consistent with their competencies ( CCRB Executive Council, Board of

Trustees, 2005).

I chose these three as the most important to me and for my career goal as a fitness

director/personal trainer. I believe one hundred percent that any individual who has obtained or

is in route of obtaining a career in this field must hold good standing with all qualifications,

certifications, and requirements to do this job. I have known a few has were not in this position

and still worked knowing that they run the risk of not doing things correctly and risking future

injury to a member and the fitness club.
