Human Performance Academy: Grades 7-12
A hands-on high school/middle school enrichment program in Oak Hills, CA combining exercise science, human biology, physical science, fitness, and real-world learning.
WHERE SCIENCE MEETS MOVEMENT.
Human Performance Academy at Liberation Fitness is a high school homeschool co-op and enrichment program serving students throughout Oak Hills, Hesperia, Victorville, Phelan, Wrightwood and the rest of the High Desert Community.
Instead of learning science exclusively from a textbook, students explore the human body, exercise science, physics, biomechanics, nutrition, energy systems, and human performance through movement, experiments, discussion, and hands-on application.
Students won’t just learn what happens inside the human body—they’ll experience how those principles affect strength, movement, athletic performance, recovery, and everyday life.
Our goal is simple: build stronger bodies, curious minds, and capable young adults.
TWO SEMESTER COURSES. ONE TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE.
Human Performance Academy is divided into two semester-long courses designed to give homeschool high school students a practical introduction to human biology, exercise science, physical science, and athletic performance.
September 2nd - December 11th
Human Biology & Exercise Science
The Science of the Human Body
Semester One explores how the human body is built, how it functions, and how it adapts to exercise. Students connect biology and health science concepts directly to movement, training, nutrition, recovery, and human performance.
Students will explore:
Human anatomy and major body systems
Physiology and energy systems
Exercise science and adaptation
Nutrition, hydration, and metabolism
Health, recovery, and performance
Fitness testing and data analysis
Hands-on experiments and labs
January 4th - May 14th
Physical Science of Sport & Human Performance
The Science Behind Movement
Semester Two takes students deeper into the science behind athletic movement and performance. Students explore physics, biomechanics, force production, energy, technology, and engineering through sport and exercise.
Students will explore:
Newton’s Laws and motion
Biomechanics
Force production
Energy systems and chemistry
Performance testing and analysis
Exercise technology
Equipment and engineering
Training, recovery, and adaptationTraining, recovery, and adaptation
