6 sessions | 60mns/session

Session 1: Muscles

 Students explore what muscles are and explore the three types of muscles: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. They discover the difference between red and white fibers, how muscles contract via tendons, and fascinating animal muscle facts.

Session 2: Movements

This session breaks down voluntary and involuntary movements, linking them to skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles. Students learn about the central nervous system (CNS), reflex arcs, and how signals from the brain and spinal cord control movement. They also test reflexes through interactive games and learn how animals use reflexes to survive.

Session 3: Muscle Injury Care & Prevention

Students learn about muscle strains, symptoms, and the body’s healing process. The session introduces R.I.C.E. treatment, prevention through hydration, stretching, and posture, and explains how cramps and soreness occur. It ends with a fun stretching game and cool muscle injury facts.

Session 4: Diet and Sports

Students explore the five food groups, the importance of hydration, and the role of food as energy for movement. They learn about energy balance, body fat storage, and how certain foods can be addictive due to dopamine. 

Session 5: Sport’s Effect on the Body

This session shows how physical activity affects the heart, lungs, muscles, bones, and temperature regulation. Students explore endurance, resistance, hypertrophy, and the health benefits of exercise like blood pressure regulation and bone strengthening.

Session 6: Sports & The Brain

Students discover how exercise affects the brain through neurogenesis, improved focus, and hormone release (dopamine, adrenaline, endorphins). Team and individual sports enhance emotional regulation and cognitive function. The session covers mental health, how exercise improves mood, and even how animals benefit from movement.
