3.2.1. Responsible, Music-Based Fitness Program
This fitness program was really helpful for me to exercise consistently because the cues in the music like the ones in the Shuttle Run signal me to do the target exercise and to rest.(Deep-focus interview with student B)
It was definitely different from other fitness programs, where I exercised while listening to music. I think having to achieve the goal on cue gave me a sense of responsibility and set a clear goal to improve my fitness.(Deep-focus interview with student C)
3.2.2. Self-Directed Health Management
I’m not very physically fit, and keeping a health practice report during this program gave me an opportunity to look at myself and learn the values of health. I became confident as I watched my records improve slowly.(Deep-focus interview with student A)
I think adjusting the health learning goals that my teacher set for me to a level I can handle helped me a lot.(Deep-focus interview with student B)
I really put myself into the program to achieve the fitness goals even without my teachers’ pushing me, and I think I developed good workout habits.(Student D’s fitness journal)
3.2.3. Consistency and Simplicity of the Program
Last year, fine dust concentrations were high every day, so when we had combined classes with other classes in the auditorium, we were only able to do some simple warmups and couldn’t even play a single game. I had a hard time not being able to relieve stress because of the restricted PE classes, but I loved the idea of exercising efficiently in a small space with little time we have.(Deep-focus interview with student A)
During the last year’s fitness program, we didn’t have enough squat equipment, and we had to move around all the time, so it was difficult to participate. But this time, no large equipment was involved, so it wasn’t hard preparing, and I was able to enjoy participating in the program.(Deep-focus interview with student C)
