Strength
What it could look like:
- Push-ups, pull-ups
- Squats and lunges
- Lifting weights
Pre-foundational - Stage 0
I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity. At this stage I have limited movement capability and require support.
Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1
Establishes a foundation of strength and explores how to apply greater force.
- Using light weights to complete a beginner's resistance training program
- Lifting, pulling, pushing, resisting and moving objects
Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2
Demonstrates strength to lift, pull, push, rotate, resist or move body and/or objects.
- Using weights that are appropriate for an intermediate resistance training program
- Lifting, pulling, pushing, resisting and moving objects with safe and correct technique
Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3
Optimises strength to meet the demands of participation in diverse movement and physical activity.
- Using heavier weights to complete an advanced resistance training program to increase strength for improved performance
- Lifting, pulling, pushing, resisting and moving heavier objects with safe and correct technique
Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4
I am empowered by movement and physical activity. I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts. I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.
