Lesson 3: Spinal Mobility & Articulation
Duration of Days: 1
Lesson Objective
Students will demonstrate spinal articulation by moving the vertebrae sequentially.
How can improper form on exercises affect the outcome?
Articulation
C-Curve
Momentum
Standard 4: Develops personal skills and identifies personal benefits of movement.
(DOK 3) Analyze the "Roll-Up." If a student is using momentum to sit up, what specific muscle engagement are they missing, and how could they fix it?
By strengthening the "powerhouse" (the core), students improve their balance for sports, reduce the risk of injury in daily activities, and learn breath-control techniques that help manage academic stress and anxiety.
