Introduction

My name is Bella Dalton. I am 15 years old and I am currently in Year 11. My aim is to improve my anaerobic fitness for the sport I play which is hockey and I will do this by creating a 6 week program of all the different sports and exercises that I do each day.

I regularly play hockey for Aldershot and Farnham Ladies 2/3 hockey team and I feel this really develops me as a player, playing with older people. I have been playing hockey for 5 years now. My favoured position is midfield where I play most of the time but I can play defence as well.

The method of training I will be doing is mostly interval training which would suit my individual needs and also training to improve my anaerobic fitness. This is training in intervals of hard exercise with rest breaks. The rest period will be a brisk walk at a speed of 4.4 mph and will last for 1 minute. The working period will be a sprint at a speed of 9.6 mph and will also last for one minute. I will complete this session in 15 minutes. I will increase these speeds during the 6 weeks. The reason why I think interval training would be good for me is because it would help me to improve my overall performance, including speed.

To improve my muscular power I will be doing different exercises.  My Muscular Power training is made up of 3 different exercises:

  • Skipping - 50
  • Jumping Squats - 15
  • Side Jumps - 25

For each of these I do three sets each. This will really improve my power in my legs. 

I chose these two methods of training because I felt that they will improve my fitness and overall play in hockey the most. 

I have chosen hockey because I know the rules of the game and also I play for a club every Tuesday and Saturday. ...
