Introduction

Personal Training Program Planning Aim: to plan, perform, monitor and evaluate a 10-week training program for a specific sport and position, which will improve individuals fitness. To develop two aspects of my fitness to improve my performance in Netball. The two aspects I will be training are Muscular Endurance and Flexibility. I have decide to train these two aspects out of all the Health and Skill related Fitness principles as I believe improving them will have a positive impact on my performance in Netball. These two aspects will not be too difficult to train, as they do not require a large amount of specialised equipment, as I will be able to find them all at Fitness First. Personal Profile: Name: Priti Tapariya Age: 17 Gender: Female Height: 5'7 Weight: 11 stone Health Problems: None Activity: Netball Goal Shooter Facilities: Fitness First Gym, Kingsbury My name is Priti Tapariya and I am 17 years old. The sport I have chosen to do a personal exercise program is Netball. My height is 5'7 and my weight is 11 stone. The game of Netball requires many different aspects of fitness, which I will outline below. I will be able to train for Netball once a week. I have no current health problems which could affect my Netballing game. I enjoy playing this sport as it is a team game and is enjoyable to play. It also has different aspects which can help you keep fit and healthy. Sport and Position: Netball Goal Shooter Health related Components: Agility, Balance, Co-ordination, Flexibility, Power, Reaction Time, Speed, and Stamina. Agility: the ability to change directions of the body at speed, in one complete action. I will need to be able to do this, as I will be defending the ball from the keeper; as well as dodging the goalkeeper, to get free. This will enable me to receive the ball; I will need to be able to move my body into the right positions so I am able to shoot accurately and in one complete action. ...read more.

I was feeling pain in my arms; biceps, triceps and in my pectorals. I found it hard to move freely and I was unable to do day-to-day basics, for example, lifting my school bag. I was in pain for a couple of days, during my free time, I would gently stretch the muscles that were in pain to try and gently release the tension. As I was stretching the muscles on a day-to-day basis, I could feel that they were in less pain and I was able to continue doing everyday basics. For the next training session, I will be decreasing the weights on the Pectoral Fly, as I was experiences a great amount of discomfort for several days due to a too high weight. Due to this, I will be reducing the weights from 30kg to 15kg. I will not be changing any other weights as they are not too heavy and I do not want to rush into trying to carry heavier weights than my body can handle. Evaluation: * Warm up: 5 minutes cardio vascular on the bike Mobilising joints and fully stretching * Main Work out: I will be using the following machines and will start at the weights stated below, but as I progress through the weeks, I will increase the weights as and when I feel comfortable. * 5 minutes on the stepping machine on level six to start. * 20 minutes stretching, supported with a partner for extra support, pressure and help. * Cool Down: 5 minutes cardio vascular to gently cool down the muscles and get rid of lactic acid, fully stretching and mobilising joints.

Conclusion

This could be because I have not had any matches and have not been able to see if I have improved my performance. If I was to do the Personal Exercise Programme in the summer season, I would be able to see a noticeable progression immediately, as I would be training as it is the Netball season. Secondly, I would change one of the factors that I am training. I would not train Flexibility again, as I was unable to improve it, and show that it is a factor that you are able to improve and measure easily. I would change that factor and train Power. Power is a large part of Netball. I need power for when I am passing the ball to players within my team, as well as when I am shooting. I need to know how much power to put into my shot to score. I would be able to train power at the gym as I will have all the equipment I will require. I can also test power easily with the Wingate cycle test, before and after the Personal Exercise Programme. Finally, I would change the frequency in which I visited the gym. During the Personal Exercise Programme, I only used the gym facilities once a week. If I were to do the Personal Exercise Programme, again I would train 3-4 times a week. I would also increase the time I spent at the gym. I spent 1 hour 30 minutes at the gym during this Personal Exercise Programme, but if I were to do it, again I would spend 2-3 hours. By increasing the frequency, I would be able to increase the weight more efficiently as I am used to the weight I would be using, and would be able to adapt to the weights quicker. Overall, I was pleased with the outcome of the Personal Exercise Programme, and enjoyed it, as I become more motivated and determined to fully complete the session to the best of my ability. ...read more.
