Also new to this edition are related online learning aids delivered through HK Propel, including assignable learning and enrichment activities to help students apply the book's foundational knowledge. The HKPropel resources also include an instructor guide with teaching tips and strategies, ideas for an introductory course in adapted physical education and sport, and a sample syllabus. Other tools include a test bank, video clips demonstrating 26 of the fitness tests from The Brockport Physical Fitness Test Manual, and forms, tables, and calculators related to the Brockport Physical Fitness Test. In addition, the team of 30 highly renowned contributors includes 12 new voices who add their perspectives to the content. More Features
