What will be covered:
Part 1:
This session will focus on the following areas:
discuss the difference between health- and
performance-related fitness
define the components of health-related fitness: cardio-
respiratory endurance, muscular endurance, strength,
flexibility, and body composition
define the components of performance-related fitness:
agility, balance, coordination, power, speed and
reaction time
examine the extent to which different components of
health- and performance-related fitness are important
in the selected physical activities
research ways in which health- and performance-
related fitness can be developed in a demanding
practice context
design a combined approach to health-related fitness
and performance related fitness training
design a fitness test battery for a physical activity
based on an analysis of the particular fitness demands
of the activity
evaluate the principles of training from a performance
perspective
apply the FITT formula to each component of physical
fitness
compare different methods of physical fitness training in
the context of the three selected physical activities
discuss approaches to training in the activity and
outside the activity
use the fitness test data to design a physical fitness
programme for a selected physical activity
suggest strategies to support recovery and adaptation
following competition/performance and training
demonstrate an understanding of periodisation in the
design of training programmes
Part 2:
discuss the ways in which different psychological
factors including confidence, anxiety, motivation,
concentration and feedback impact on practice and
performance
evaluate strategies to enhance confidence, motivation
and concentration before, during and after practice
sessions and/or performance
discuss different types of feedback and their
importance in selected practices and/or performance
analyse strategies to improve mental preparedness for
before, during and after practice/performance in
physical activity
design a personal action plan, including a rationale, to
support a positive psychological disposition before,
during and after performance
Part 3:
examine the nutritional considerations for before,
during and after performance in physical activity
discuss the importance of hydration in different physical
activities and settings
discuss the role and challenges of using sports
supplements, including sports drinks, in physical
activity
analyse the role and relative contribution of the energy
systems in relation to duration, intensity and type of
activity
explain how an understanding of the different energy
systems can inform preparation for practice,
performance and recovery
design a dietary plan, including a rationale, for one
selected physical activity
