PETE faculty can enhance their own credentials/certifications, the quality of the course content, and the practical value to their students by attending the Physical Best workshop and becoming a Physical Best Specialist.   This 7-hour workshop will orient participants to the Physical Best program and give them  the information and tools necessary to introduce Physical Best in their university classes. This workshop covers the history and philosophy of health-related fitness education and assessment, uses activities from the Physical Best Activity Guides, and demonstrates  how these activities teach K-12 students the components and principles of health-related fitness.
