A. Directions Step 1: Download the Template DOWNLOAD Touchstone 3 Submission Template. Step 2: Review the Rubric Review the Touchstone rubric below in Section B to see how you will be graded. Step 3: Complete Parts 1–3 of the Template Part 1: Your Fitness-Based SMART Goal Develop a SMART goal for yourself based on improving a health-related or skill-related component of fitness through physical activity or exercise. Describe which health-related or skill-related component(s) your goal best fits. Discuss your current fitness level and experience (related to your SMART goal) and describe why this SMART goal is important to you. Part 2: Creating a Personalized Fitness Plan Use the three provided tables to design a week of physical activity/exercise that is appropriate for your current fitness level and SMART goal and applies the FITT principle to cardiovascular training, resistance training, and flexibility/mobility training. Part 3: Maintaining and Assessing Personal Progress Describe an anticipated barrier and strategy to overcome said barrier in working toward your SMART goal. Describe one idea for progressing your fitness program (over the course of a few weeks or months) to continue progress toward your SMART goal. Step 4: Submit Your Completed Template Once your Touchstone is complete, submit it for grading by selecting the Submit button at the top of this page.

Rubric Advanced (100%) Proficient (85%) Acceptable (75%) Needs Improvement (50%) Nonperformance (0%) SMART Goal Identify a goal to improve a health-related or skill-related fitness component, detailing the five aspects of the SMART goal framework. (10%) Clearly states the SMART goal and provides a thorough explanation for each of the five SMART dimensions. Either the SMART goal is not clearly stated or one of the SMART dimensions is not explained or is unclear. The SMART goal is not clearly stated, and two of the SMART dimensions are not explained or the explanation is unclear. The SMART goal is not clearly stated, and three or more of the SMART dimensions are not explained or the explanation is unclear. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Health-Related or Skill-Related Component Describe which health-related or skill-related component(s) the goal best fits. (5%) Clearly lists a health-related or skill-related component and provides a clear rationale for the goal’s fit for that component. Clearly lists a health-related or skill-related component; the rationale provided for the goal’s fit is brief. A health-related or skill-related component is listed, but the rationale for the goal’s fit is unclear. The health-related or skill-related component is not clearly listed and does not provide a rationale for the goal’s fit, or the rationale is unclear. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Current Fitness Level, Experience, and Importance Discuss the current fitness level and experience (related to the SMART goal) and describe the SMART goal’s importance. (5%) Clearly describes the current fitness level and experience and explains why the SMART goal is personally important. Either the fitness level and experience is described but the answer is brief or the importance of the SMART goal is described but the answer is brief. Either the fitness level and experience are not discussed or unclear or the importance of the SMART goal is not discussed or unclear. The current fitness level and experience is not clearly identified, and the importance of the SMART goal is unclear. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Table for Cardiovascular Training Craft a cardiovascular training plan using the FITT principle: frequency (at least 3 days listed), intensity, time, and type provided for each listed day. (25%) The table clearly contains all required components of FITT for each listed day of cardiovascular training, and at least 3 days are listed. The table has 3 days listed of cardiovascular training, but 1 day is missing FITT components or is unclear. The table has 2 days listed of cardiovascular training, but 1 day is missing FITT components or is unclear, OR the table has 3 days listed of cardiovascular training, but each day is missing FITT components or is unclear. The table has 1 day listed of cardiovascular training, and the day is missing FITT components or is unclear. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Table for Resistance Training Craft a resistance training plan using the FITT principle: frequency (at least 2 days listed), intensity, time or reps/sets, and type provided for each listed day. (15%) The table clearly contains all required components of FITT for each listed day of resistance training, and at least 2 days are listed. The table has 2 days listed of resistance training, but one to two FITT components are missing or unclear (such as lacking at least one exercise for all seven major muscle groups). The table has 2 days listed of resistance training, but three to four FITT components are missing or unclear, OR the table has only one completed day of resistance training with all relevant FITT elements present. The table has 1 day listed of resistance training, and the day is missing FITT components or is unclear. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Table for Flexibility/Mobility Training Craft a flexibility/mobility training plan using the FITT principle: frequency (at least 2 days listed), time, and type provided for each listed day. (15%) The table clearly contains all required components of FITT (intensity not required) for each listed day of flexibility/mobility training, and at least 2 days are listed. The table has 2 days listed of flexibility/mobility training, but one to two FITT components are missing or unclear (such as lacking at least four different flexibility or mobility techniques or movements). The table has 2 days listed of flexibility and mobility training, but three to four FITT components are missing or unclear, OR the table has only one completed day of flexibility/mobility training with all relevant FITT elements present. The table has 1 day listed of flexibility/mobility training, and the day is missing FITT components or is unclear. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Barrier and Strategy Describe one anticipated barrier to the SMART goal and one strategy to help overcome the barrier. (10%) Clearly describes one anticipated barrier and one strategy related to overcoming the barrier. Describes one anticipated barrier and one strategy, but one or the other is brief or unclear.

Either the barrier or the strategy is missing and not described. The response is not related to the course material or is off topic, or so little work has been done that no credit may be given. Progression Describe an idea for progressing the fitness program over time (weeks or months) to continue SMART goal progress. (5%) Clearly describes an idea for progressing the fitness program that is directly relevant to SMART goal progress and is a logical progression based on FITT principles and the previously described fitness level and experience. Describes an idea for progressing the fitness program, but the idea lacks some details in demonstrating logical progression. Describes an idea for progressing the fitness program, but it is not a logical progression based on the FITT principles and/or the previously described fitness level and experience.
