Health Behavior Theory: Health Belief Model predicts behavior by perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, barriers, and self-efficacy cues to action.

Transtheoretical Model stages in order: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance (relapse can occur at any stage).

Social Cognitive Theory: behavior is shaped by reciprocal determinism among personal, behavioral, and environmental factors; self-efficacy is central.

SMART goal criteria: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound.

FITT principle for physical activity prescription: Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type.

Target heart rate range = (220 - age) x 0.60 to (220 - age) x 0.85 for moderate-to-vigorous aerobic work.

BMI = weight (kg) / height (m)^2; adult overweight is 25.0-29.9 and obesity is 30.0 or higher.

Leading preventable cause of death in the US is tobacco use; second is poor diet and physical inactivity.

Health literacy is the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information to make appropriate decisions.

Health-related fitness components: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, body composition.

Skill-related fitness components: agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, speed.

FITT-VP adds Volume and Progression to the standard FITT variables for program design.

Progressive overload requires increasing demand over time; the principle of specificity states training adaptations are specific to the activity performed.

Motor development sequence: fundamental locomotor skills (run, hop, skip) precede manipulative skills (throw, catch, strike).

Bloom's psychomotor domain order: perception, set, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, origination.

Aerobic system dominates steady activity beyond about 2-3 minutes; the phosphagen system supplies maximal effort for roughly 10 seconds.

Static stretching is best performed after activity when muscles are warm; dynamic warm-ups precede vigorous activity.

Inclusion rule: modify space, task, or equipment to keep all students active rather than excluding students with disabilities.
