Run or wheel a 50-meter dash
When to use this goal
For students in track units, field day, or Special Olympics who leave the lane, stop before the finish, or start late. Wheelchair users race the same distance in a lane. Fit depends on a timed trial, not grade.
- Baseline
- Time three trials on separate days and use the median. Note lane departures and stops; those may matter more than speed at first.
- Tips
- Running through the finish is a skill to teach. Use the student's own time as the target, not peers' times.
- Limits
- Seasonal by unit. Medical clearance needed for students with heart or breathing conditions.
