The 101 course involves identifying the role that certain lifestyle behaviours, such as regular physical activity, good nutrition and stress management, play in the pursuit of optimal health and well-being. Students will examine the health and wellness effects derived from participation in regular physical activity and will explore the effects of their current lifestyle habits. Students will identify appropriate activity options based on their own interests, needs and abilities, and explore the factors influencing their motivation for maintaining or increasing regular physical activity. Each 101 course involves 30 hours of practical and theoretical work and a 15-hour homework component. The theoretical component is common to all 101 courses while the physical activity component varies between each of the eight curriculum areas. Student responsibility is fostered through active participation in the learning process.
