Performance Management
Performance Management The performance management process provides an opportunity for the employees and managers to discuss goals and develop plans for achieving those goals. Therefore, communication involve between managers and employees that they have to identify job roles and functions related to the company objectives. They get together to devise some performance appraisals to enhance the company overall performance. The performance manager responsible for supervising workforce and the group educates and develops employees' potential in order to improve workforce performance. Moreover, rewards is directly Employees performance. The following graph is the performance management process. Essential Managing Performance to the Group Explain how managing performance is a critical element in the success of a business. Employees need to understand their roles clearly An effective Performance Management system is based on these concepts: * Employees need to understand their roles clearly * Performance may be managed * There is a direct relationship between performance and rewards * Employee involvement is critical to performance development * Performance expectations must be set in advance and there must be agreement * Performance management requires on-going coaching, feedback and planning * Performance management can be a positive experience * Facilitate a
"The possible effects of caffeine supplementation on health and exercise performance capacity".
Sports Nutrition "The possible effects of caffeine supplementation on health and exercise performance capacity" Coaches have always looked at ways to improve performance capacity such as new training techniques. However, the increasing demands of sport and the decreasing distance between winning and losing has led to them looking at ways to get that extra competitive advantage over their competitors. Coaches aided by scientists have looked at the use of supplements that effect energy utilisation and these methods are termed ergogenic aids. Mottram (1996, pg xvi) defined an ergogenic aids as 'agents, which are used in an attempt to increase the capacity to work'. Caffeine is one of these said ergogenic aids and can be further defined as a pharmacological ergogenic aid. The associated benefits of caffeine have been the subject of a number of scientific investigations however the information provided has proven to be unclear and often contradictory. Therefore the true ergogenic effects of caffeine on exercise and performance are unknown. Caffeine: What is it? Caffeine is regarded as a psychoactive drug and has been used as a stimulant since the Stone Age (Mottram, 1996). It is a natural substance that is found in coca beans, coffee beans and tealeaves and is the most casually and widely used drug throughout the world. The evidence that suggests associated ergogenic effects
Jumps - six week program
Jumps Six Week Program First Step The first step will be target setting, identifying and analyzing the problem. My personal best in Long Jump is 5.78m and my personal best in Triple Jump is 12.20m. I wish to improve these distances greatly over this six week program. To do this I will use many recourses such as books, internet and one to one talking with my coach. My training sessions will consist of: * plyometrics * Speed Work * Weights * Technique Each of the these sessions will take place once a week for 6 weeks. To see if I have improved I will first I will take three jumps in both Long Jump and Triple Jump to see my potential now and at the end of the six weeks I will then test myself again to see if I have improved. As you can see in my list there is no general fitness heading as I achieve my entire general and much needed fitness from my speed work, weights session and plyometrics exercises. Fitness is a key factor in the summer as it is the time for competitions and I will need to perform consistently all four to five months of the season. A good health and general fitness will carry me through and make this able. Safety is a key factor in any sport and should not be taken lightly. My coach, Charlie will be around most of the time and when he is not around it will be my friend's jobs to watch over me as it will be mine to watch over them. There isn't much

Write a 2 page report, aimed at elite athletes, wherein you discuss and/or explain skill classification, as well as describing and/ or explaining the difference between skill and ability. A skill is where the action can be taught and where a sportsperson's performs a task with maximum efficiency (certainty) and a minimum degree effort. In order to learn a skill in sport, we must learn the required technique and for the techniques to be learned we must have the right abilities to help us. Skill in sport is seen as a complex act, involving a range of complicated movements brought together in to one or many consistent and smooth manners. There are a few qualities that are needed in order for a performance to be skilful, consistency, accuracy, control, intention and fluidity. An example of a skill would be a tennis player hitting a drop shot. This player would recognise that his opponent is in a difficult position on the court or with the position he's in, for example the ball may be low and hard to play a deep shot off, a drop shot is the best choice of shot to play. With this knowledge he would play the drop shot knocking exactly what he wants to do and knowing what outcome he wants to achieve. "Maximum efficiency". (certainty) There are two basic classifications of skill, open skills and closed skills. Skills will almost always fit in to one or the other, if not then in
Energy Balance
Energy Balance By Elliot Nightingale Energy Intake and Expenditure Energy intake is the amount of energy taken in buy the athlete's body through food and drinks. Energy in the body cannot be created or destroyed it can only be changed into different forms; this is the principle of energy conservation. Each different sports performer will require different energy intakes because of age, gender, sport, fitness level and some other factors. Energy expenditure is the amount of energy (Kcal) that a human being uses. This is influenced by the individuals: * Basal Metabolic Rate * Dietary Induce Thermogenesis * Physical activity * Adaptive Thermogenesis Basal Metabolic Rate Basal Metabolic Rate is the amount of calories per day your body burns, regardless of exercise. It changes with age, weight, height, gender, diet and exercise habits. Dietary Induce Thermogenesis Diet induced thermogenesis (DIT) can be defined as the increase in energy expenditure above basal fasting level divided by the energy content of the food ingested and is commonly expressed as a percentage. It is, with basal metabolic rate and activity induced thermogenesis, one of the three components of daily energy expenditure. Although DIT is the smallest component, it could play a role in the development and/or maintenance of obesity. Physical Activity Physical activity is any form of exercise or
Motion in Sports
. In 1998 Alexander Popov completed the first 50m in 24.03 seconds and the second 50m in 24.99. Velocity= displacement × time. The displacement is the change in position from the initial position. Because the displacement is 0 in the race the velocity is 0. 2. Calculations of speed: Speed is calculated by the distance travelled divided by the time it took to travel that distance and is referred to as meters per second (ms-1).

Discuss the Role of Feedback In the Learning of Skills.
DISCUSS THE ROLE OF FEEDBACK IN THE LEARNING OF SKILLS "Feedback is the final part of the information processing system, which received during or following a movement, to notify the performer about the effectiveness of the response. In order to learn and develop skills, feedback and guidance are necessary. It also required knowledge of result and knowledge of performance." Sport and PE, Kevin Wesson In this essay I will discus how important the role of feedback is in the learning of skills and what different kinds of feedback can be used to help a person to learn theses skills. Feedback can gives us information about the quality of are performance or a certain technique. There are many different types of Feedback a athlete can use in the learning of skills, some are better than others. The different types of feedback are: Extrinsic, Intrinsic, Positive, Negative, Terminal, Concurrent, Knowledge of Performance Before discussing the role of feedback it is important to know what all of these different feedbacks are Extrinsic Feedback Extrinsic feedback is the feedback given by an outside performer. Teachers and coaches can both give extrinsic feedback as well as older peers. Intrinsic Feedback obviously the opposite of extrinsic, intrinsic feedback comes from within the performer. The performer will have his own feelings on how he believed he performed the skill or
Mental skill development.
Mental skill development Sport psychology Performance Profile I'm going to do my performance profile on myself. I am a junior Great Britain swimmer on the verge of breaking into the senior team. I compete mainly in the 100 and 200 metres freestyle. Even though I compete at this level I realise that I have main weakness that I need to work on to make that final push to get me in the senior team. This is my individual performance profile for the 100 and 200 metres freestyle- To be a world-class 100 and 200 metre freestyle you have to have to following characteristics. (This is a personal opinion) I * Power * Commitment * Self-motivation * Positive attitude * Good focus * Confidence * Strong * Good skills (good start, turns and finish) * Tall These aspects are needed to be a world-class performer, but some aspects are more important than others. I have now rated each aspect 1-10, 10 being the most important that I feel the swimmer will need to be the best. * To have a lot of Power-10-6 * To be Commitment-10-10 * To be Self-motivation-10-7 * To have Positive attitude-10-8 * To be Good focus-10-7 * To be Confidence-10-7 * To be Strong-10-6 * Having Good skills (good start-10-5, turns-10-5and finish-10-8) * Need to be Tall-10-8 All these aspects are for the best performers in the world and the numbers next to the other numbers are the aspects that I rate
The demands of rugby.
The demands of rugby and my specific position Rugby's demands Rugby is a hard, high speed, high impact sport, which means that the average player in order to play the game at a decent level needs to have good levels of speed, strength endurance, agility and power. Rugby asks a lot of the performing athlete in terms of fitness levels which are needed to perform at the highest level, this is probably the most important aspect of the game, even if you're a great technician, you still need a good fitness level to be able to perform these skills continuously during a game. It is especially essential due to the fact that law changes and professionalism and law changes have made the game even quicker then before. For example, as my position is hooker, if I was just a great technician in the scrum and had the perfect technique, it wouldn't be any help to me as there are between 10 and 30 scrums in every single match, therefore my fitness levels would have to be up to scratch in order to participate in all of these competitive scrums. During a game of rugby every player is expected to work at high intensities and little breaks for the duration of a game, at the top end of the scale at rugby, professionals run on average 4000 metres to 6000 metres per game, this shows the sort of endurance a rugby player needs. Every player within a side must have the same capabilities, be able
What is Fitness?
Fitness The two types of fitness are Skill Related Fitness, and Health Related Fitness. Skill Related Fitness is where you specifically train for one sport, concentrating on certain muscles of the body. Health Related Fitness is where you maintain your bodies fitness, keeping the whole body in good shape. You can remember Health Related Fitness with the 5 S's! These are Stamina, Strength, Suppleness, Speed, and Somatotype. Stamina (endurance) Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the lungs to provide oxygen to keep muscles working. Muscular endurance is the ability of muscle groups to keep working against resistance. The quicker you return to your normal resting heart rate, the fitter you are. Strength Muscular strength is related to muscular endurance and it varies according to body type. It can be improved by OVERLOADING the muscles during a training programme. Suppleness (flexibility) Suppleness is the ability to move muscles through their full range at a joint. Speed The ability of all or part of the body to move quickly from one point to another. Speed also involves acceleration, which is important in athletics and most team games. Somatotype There are 3 extremes of body type, but most of us are a mixture of each. Some body types are more suited to particular sports. Endomorph - Fat, Sumo-Wrestler Mesomorph - Broad Shoulders, Rugby Player
