How will we prepare for this assessment?
Everyday in class, we will emphasize stretching our hamstrings during our warm-up/stretching exercises. Students will be encouraged to do these stretches at home, as well, keeping in mind that we run the assessment twice a year.
How can we improve our results?
Practice makes perfect! We will continue to work on flexibility of our hamstrings, and encourage suggestions from the students for exercises to do so. The more we work on this, the better we will get (and more flexible). We will also set goals for ourselves so that we have something to strive for.
How can we maintain our hamstring flexibilty.
On a regular basis, students will be asked why hamstring flexibility may be important to our everyday lives and involvement in sports. As they students learn to realize the importance, we will develop more exercises that will be beneficial and perform them on a regular basis.
***One stretch that students can do to work on their hamstring flexibility is done by sitting on the floor with their legs straight out in front of them, hips square. Using a static stretch technique, bend at the waist with arms straight out in front and reaching for your toes. DO NOT BOUNNCE! Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. Do this stretch on a daily basis to improve/maintain hamstring flexibility***
