Year 13 Students

I am not going to be in your lesson on Wednesday, could you please complete the following task.
We are now moving into the long term physiological aspects of the course. For part of this we have to look at long term adaptations / effects on the body which can occur when a performer takes part in a particular type of training.
An exemplar of this is below, looking at core stability. Can I ask you to please complete the empty resource for the following type of training I assign you.
Lisa - Continuous
A-L - Plyometric
Rayhaan - Weight/Circuit/Resistance
Conor - Fartlek
Bami - SAQ
Ensure this is completed and brought to the next lesson. Ideally can you complete electronically. If you have any problems with this please see me on Thursday as I will be back in school.

Year 12 students - Unit 2

As I will not be in your lesson on Wednesday I want you to make a start on your Unit 2 work, which will be handed in and discussed the following Tuesday.
The booklet below is an overview of what is required from you for your 2.1 and most of your 2.4 work.  For 2.1 you require to be assessed in two sports / roles and provide the necessary evidence via video and written work as to the level you are performing at through the course of this academic year.

We will discuss the paperwork requirements for this next week.  For this lesson i require you to start on the design of your notation table for your 2.4 work.  In the booklet is an exemplar of a notation.  I require you to devise your own notation for your main sport you will be assessed in 2.1 which gives as much data as possible. 
E.g. from the notation can you split the data into success rate / unsuccessful per half? 
Is the notation able to be completed by an independent person easily - is the criteria objective and not subjective?

When this is done & typed up it needs to go into your 2.4 dropbox folder.

Secondly,  complete a notation form that you made on an elite performer of your choice.

All work in electronically by Sunday morning.

Monday 17th September

There is a very good chance i will not be in for your first lesson, will hopefully make it in for your second lessons.

We are moving away from short term physiological to fatigue & recovery process.

To start with, have a look at the slides on the Prezi below. This covers in simple terms the three energy systems we utilise to regenerate ATP so that we can continue working at our desired intensity.


After looking through these slides i want you to consider how these systems work alongside each other. Make notes on the three systems (you will be using these notes to complete a task summarising the 8 main points of each system) and then decide what percentage of each of the systems (ATP-PC, Lactic Acid, Aerobic) are used by the following sports people:
Shot putter
Marathon runner
Tennis player
Centre in Netball.
For each of the examples include a paragraph of justification for your percentages.

E.g. 800m runner - ATP PC = 30%, LA = 65%, Aerobic = 5% then followed by your justification as to the figures.

Following on from that, go to the following link:
http://www.sportsscientists.com/2011/03/central-governor-and-athletes-clock.html
Then watch the video on the page, summarise the video with regard the Central Governor and then use Sweet Search (actually use it this time and not just Google) to find out additional information on the Central Governor, ready to feed back in lesson 3 (if im back) or our next lesson.
