Classical Physical Education (PE): La Sierra S-E Routine

Описание

Exemplified by Stan LeProtti at La Sierra High School in the early ’60s, classical PE focused on three equally important thirds: restorative arts (including traditional fitness, calisthenics, and correctives), defensive arts (self and national defense), and pedagogical (sports, games, play, and theory).

Each day at La Sierra began with a 400-meter jog and a 12-minute strength-endurance routine. That was the bulk of the daily physical training dose responsible for creating a truly remarkable standard of physical fitness.

These were followed by either defensive arts or pedagogical activities and finally finished with a run through the obstacle course—a gauntlet of pegboard walls, ropes, and unique manipulatives that honed bodyweight mastery. They called this 5 minute period their “off-the-ground” time.

Characteristic of “grease the groove” training, La Sierra students achieved a staggering level of fitness through consistent daily immersion in this short, simple training regimen. Training videos demonstrate the awe-inspiring feats like the extension press-up that La Sierra students famously demonstrated on Johnny Carson and in Look Magazine.
