Factors impacting on Performance Unit 1.3 Describe an approach to develop this factor and so improve performance

Your answer must... Identify a factor that impacts on your performance Describe an approach (method of training) to develop this factor 1. IDENTIFY an approach 2. DEFINE this approach 3. STATE the main demands (advantages/disadvantages/example) of this approach

For example... PHYSICAL An approach that could be used to develop the physical factors impacting the performance of an 800m runner is fartlek training. Fartlek training is continuous exercise at varying intensities. This has many advantages such as it can be used to improve your CRE and help you to improve on changes of pace within a race. However, a main issue with fartlek training is that it is too easy to skip the hard and more demanding parts of your training.

For example... MENTAL An approach that could be used to develop mental factors is mental rehearsal. This is thinking about performing a skill without any movement. Mental rehearsal helps a performer to overcome their fear when performing a smash in badminton. This means before the performer starts their match they would run through in their head what the smash would look and feel like.
