Circuit Training-GCSE PE-
- Arm dips- to improve my arm strength. I was going to do one and a half minutes worth of sit ups, but when I tried it when I was practising I found this very hard and tiring. I have now changed it to a fixed load of 20 arm dips. This will help me in netball because you need strong arms as your constantly passing the ball. It is also helpful for shooting.
- Footwork- this is to improve my netball footwork. I will do one and half minutes. Whilst someone else is having their throwing skills, I’ll be doing my footwork. In netball, I always move my feet in the wrong way, and I don’t land correctly.
- Burpees- to improve my leg strength. It is a combination of squat thrusts and star jumps. My leg strength is not very good. This will help me in netball because you run around a lot and need to have strong legs to jump. I will do a fixed load of 7 burpees.
- Chest passes- to improve my throwing/catching skills. One and a half minutes worth of sit ups. My throwing in netball is poor because I don’t throw the ball with enough force when I am playing. Also the ball always seems to slip out of my hands when thrown at me.
- Bench presses- to improve my arm strength. 20 bench presses. This will help me in netball because my throwing and shooting skills are not so good and I need power in my arms when I am shooting the ball.
- Co-ordination- to improve my co-ordination because in the alternate ball toss test, I was very slow and kept dropping the ball. I need this skill in netball because you need co-ordination as you are using your hands and feet, and judging distances.
- Sit-ups- this is to improve my abdomen strength. 1-minute worth of sit-ups. Although this is not specific to netball, this will improve my general fitness.
- Shooting- this is to improve my shooting because I’m not so good in shooting. I will stand 2 metres in front of the shoot and shoot 10 shots, I will then stand 2 metres to the right and shoot 5 shots, after that I will stand 2 metres to the left and also shoot 5 shots. I will be very tired, so I will want a skill activity.
