Physical Education Higher Revision – Preparation of the Body Lessons 13 & 14

Higher Physical Education- Preparation of the body Hockey Investigate Analyse Develop Evaluate

Types of fitness: Physical Skill-related Mental Discuss and identify the different aspects of physical, skill and mental fitness.

Choose 2 aspects of fitness from each type and explain why it is important in hockey? Example CRE is important for an effective performance in hockey as it will allow me to perform with a high skill level for the 70 minute duration of the game. This means that towards the end of the game I will still be able to pass, shoot and dribble to good effect.

Methods of gathering information Physical fitness: Standardised tests Why are standardised tests appropriate? What tests have you used? What aspects of fitness did they test? Match analysis schedules What information does it provide? Why is it appropriate?

Higher Physical Education- Preparation of the body Hockey Plan answers to the following questions relating to the what you have just revised. Q1:Choose an activity and two aspects of physical fitness that are important in the activity. Explain why these aspects of fitness are important for effective performance. (6) Q2.With reference to two of the fitness demands you identified in part (a) describe, briefly, the methods you used to assess your fitness. (4)

Now that you have investigated your performance, you need to analyse your results and identify your strengths and development needs How do you analyse your results? After this process you them develop your needs using a programme of work.

Methods of Training The methods we will use to improve our weaknesses of Speed and Cardio-Respiratory Endurance are: Continuous training Fartlek training Interval training What methods are used for CRE & SPEED?

For each method of training you must know the following information: 1.Which aspect of fitness it improves 2.Why it is appropriate for you to use the method / what are the merits? 3.How the method is carried out 4.How the method is set-up 5.How long you need to use the method for to improve.

Plan answers to each of the following questions. 1.Choose two different methods of training that you have used (or have considered using) to develop one of the types of fitness discussed in part (a) (mental, physical or skill related) Discuss the merits that each method offers for the development of your performance in your chosen activity. (5)

Programme of Work In order to improve fitness you must train over a pro-longed period of time. What factors must you take into account when planning your training session? Circumstances for training In the activity (conditioning) Out with the activity A combination of both We complete training using a combination of both fitness and skilled based work.

Principles of training In order to plan our training we MUST take into account three principles: SPECIFICITY PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD REVERSIBILITY Specificity What should we ensure training is specific to? Reversibility How can we ensure the effects of our training are maintained?

Training Zone How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone? What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly? Progressive Overload includes: Frequency Duration Intensity Adaptation Rest and recovery Avoiding over training Use pages of your course notes to gain definitions of each.

Training Zone How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone? What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly? Training programme When you develop a training programme it must suit your individual needs and improve your fitness levels. Must include: Time scales Intensity you will be working at Appropriate training Evidence of overload at specific times

Phases of Training PREPARATION COMPETITION TRANSITION MACRO CYCLE LONG TERM TRAINING PROGRAMME OVER A YEAR Which phase of the training year do you think we focus on?

Preparation Phase Pre-Season Focus on fitness work Skills developed through practices Conditioned games Meso Cycle = Training over 4- 8 weeks

Competition Phase Work to MAINTAIN fitness and skill level gained in Preparation phase Focus on particular key games Tapering for performance Rest and recovery after demands of Meso cycle – training over 4-8 weeks

Training Zone How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone? What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly? Transition Phase Season is finished Period of active rest Break from competitive activity General fitness maintained Meso cycle – Training over 4-8 weeks

Training Zone How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone? What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly? Micro Cycle = One weeks training Short term goals and targets PHASES OF TRAINING Which phase of training would our programme of work take place in? Sample exam questions page 29

Training Zone How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone? What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly? Monitoring training WHY? HOW? Re-testing It is important that we re-test using the same protocol as the initial tests WHEN?
