Luke Cuthbert P.E
Personal Exercise Plan
Profile
-My name is Luke Cuthbert, I am 16 years old, and I am studying GCSE P.E at Sawyers Hall College. I suffer from slight back problems due to a car accident that can hinder exercise at times.
-Each week I participate in a two hour karate class and as I have been a black belt for nearly six years, so training is to a very high intensity and standard. Also I train once a week with my football team, Ferns Juniors for an hour and a half and we play a match on a Sunday for eighty minutes. Further more I participate in two to three practical P.E lessons a week doing a number of activities for an hour per session.
-Firstly for football my expertise is my technical ability, muscular speed and muscular endurance. However my muscular strength is not that great as I sometimes get pushed off the ball. Also my muscular strength and upper body flexibility is not that good so it reduces my capability to produce a solid long throw. I have good lower body flexibility due to years of karate training however my upper body flexibility is not that good, so that is what I would like to work on during my personal exercise plan. Secondly for my karate I compete at a very high level and my muscular speed and technical skill once again is my strong point. This may come across as arrogant, but the level that I am fighting at in karate is international and I am very dominant in my weight categories as I have won numerous titles. Therefore I feel that I do not need to work too hard on improving at the moment. My coach who happens to be my father is In agreement with me. This is also because I would like to concentrate on my football as that is my main focus right now. However I will still attend karate classes during my personal exercise plan as it is good cross training for football. In addition I as a minor target for karate I would like to work on my right leg kicks as they are my weaker techniques and it would be beneficial to work on that.
