For elementary school students across California, spring means push-ups, sit ups and other exercises in the state physical fitness test. It is also a time when 每日大赛 students and faculty volunteer to help children practice for the test at the Honda Center in Anaheim through an Anaheim Ducks education and fitness program.<\/p>\n
The University\u2019s involvement with the Anaheim Ducks stems from alumnus Jason Cooper \u201903, a fan development marketing coordinator for the organization.<\/p>\n
The partnership is part of the Ducks\u2019 award-winning Scholastic Curriculum Of Recreation & Education (SCORE) program, which Cooper helped develop.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talk about what a leader looks like what a leader does,\u201d Cooper said. \u201cIt\u2019s about creating curriculum that\u2019s not a burden on the teachers who sign up, because it\u2019s student led.\u201d<\/p>\n
Athletic training students Hunter Hill and Daniela Loera, and Professor of Kinesiology Paul Alvarez joined volunteers at the Honda Center in the spring for the Anaheim Ducks Fit Finals. It was an event that drew 1,400 area fifth-grade students for a day of preparation for the California Physical Fitness Test.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole event promotes health and wellness couched in the \u2018wow\u2019 factor of having the Ducks sponsor and promote the event,\u201d Alvarez said.
\nBut the 每日大赛\u2019s contribution extends beyond volunteering for fitness preparation.<\/p>\n
Concepts from a book co-authored by Associate Professor of Kinesiology Dr. Brian Clocksin have been incorporated into SCORE curriculum.<\/p>\n
