Distances gradually increase to match your skiers’ increased skill and challenge their muscular and cardiorespiratory capacities.

Canoeing and kayaking are activities that emphasize ability. Skill is determined by ability and attitude, and people at all skill levels, with and without disabilities, can find enjoyment in canoeing and kayaking. All that paddlers need are the willingness to accept instruction and be challenged and the ability to adapt to new situations. \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Canoeing and Kayaking for People With Disabilities\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; presents strategies that give people of all abilities the opportunity to discover the challenge, freedom, and renewal found in paddling. The book, written by adaptive paddling pioneer Janet A. Zeller, will help you build on your existing knowledge of paddling techniques so you can share the sport with a variety of people with disabilities. Zeller presents best practices based on her years of experience as a paddler with a disability and the experiences of other instructors and recreation and health care professionals. The text includes tested instructional techniques and equipment adaptations as well as safety information and rescue protocols. By focusing on each person’s ability, outdoor professionals, paddling instructors, and recreation providers can learn how to make paddling available to those with disabilities. These topics are presented in the text: \u0026lt;ul\u0026gt;\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;General guidelines for working with people with disabilities \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Information on legal requirements, including accessibility at facilities and launching and landing sites, program access, development of eligibility criteria, and assessment of facility accessibility \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Thorough coverage of common disabilities, their implications for instructors, and teaching strategies and adaptations for each disability \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Guidance in choosing gear and modifying or building equipment to meet the needs of paddlers with disabilities \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Consideration of safety and risk factors, rescue priorities, and adaptations for rolling \u0026lt;li\u0026gt;Factors to consider when planning a trip, including the ratio of paddlers with and without disabilities, taking wheelchairs and mobility devices on the trip, and route selection\u0026lt;\/ul\u0026gt; The book also includes numerous resources, checklists, and forms to assist you in running your program. Pretrip resources such as the medical information form and the Paddler’s Interview will help you collect information about each paddler’s medical history and discuss expectations, ability levels, and concerns. You’ll also find tips on choosing trip and instruction locations, gear checklists, and an emergency response plan checklist. A glossary provides information on diseases and conditions to assist paddling instructors in developing appropriate accommodations. Paddling provides unique opportunities for people of all abilities to overcome personal challenges, master new skills, experience the outdoors, and enjoy physical activity with fellow paddlers. Packed with information about safe adaptations, techniques, and integrated opportunities, \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Canoeing and Kayaking for People With Disabilities\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt; is your resource for making paddling a reality for those with disabilities. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!--end tabDescription--\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-tableofcontents\" class=\"tab-content\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e Preface \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Chapter 1\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;

This complete teaching tool offers foundational information, teaching aids, and 30 detailed lesson plans aligned to current National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) standards. Cross-country skiing offers an excellent opportunity to get out of the gym and beat those winter blues! Easy on the joints and offering benefits for the cardiovascular system, muscular development, and coordination, cross-country skiing is an activity that both young and old can enjoy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeaching Cross-Country Skiing\u003c\/i\u003e presents lesson plans to progress children and young adults from beginning to advanced levels. Each lesson follows a consistent format, which includes lesson goals, introductory activities, lesson focus, review, games, and assessments. For those new to cross-country skiing, this text presents the basics of ski mechanics and guidance on clothing and equipment selection. To help you understand and convey classic cross-country skiing skills, you’ll find straightforward explanations with illustrations and photos that highlight the critical features of each skill. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Each of the 30 lessons incorporates games and skill-testing activities to keep students active and engaged. Distances gradually increase to match your skiers’ increased skill and challenge their muscular and cardiorespiratory capacities. In the first 10 lessons, students practice basic skills indoors and then on snow, learning the diagonal stride technique (with and without poles) and how to double-pole, climb, and descend gentle hills. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Then, 10 lessons for intermediate skiers continue work on the diagonal stride as well as improving hill climbing and descending techniques, stops, speed control, and maneuverability. These lessons also challenge students with increasing length of glide, shifting weight to commit to the gliding ski, and using poling action for propulsion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Finally, 10 advanced lessons help your skiers achieve a diagonal stride that is rhythmic and continuous even over hillier and longer trails. In addition to refining their diagonal stride technique, your skiers will have fun learning the stem christie, traversing steeper hills, and edging. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeaching Cross-Country Skiing\u003c\/i\u003e also includes the history and benefits of cross-country skiing, which you can use in developing a cross-country skiing unit or interdisciplinary unit. Plus you’ll find reproducible handouts, worksheets, poster signs, ideas for interdisciplinary lessons, additional games and activities, rubrics, checklists, and activity aids such as a chart for measuring boot size and ski length. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Learning to cross-country ski gives children and young adults opportunities to build the skills and motivation to achieve lifelong health and fitness.
