A.S Personal exercise program for netball

PEP Name: Zoë Wiles Group: ApE Purpose/Aim of the PEP Outline of personal profile * Name: Zoë Michelle Wiles * Age: 16 * Height: 5ft 5 * Weight: 52KG * Gender: Female * Sport selected for PEP: Netball I am involved in a few different sports, maybe not directly in the present day but at some point in my life. My enthusiasm for sport has always derived from my uncle who was a major sport player. He ran the Basingstoke Squash Club and was a member of the rugby club and along with many other sports was a great lover of golf and fishing. For all my life I knew him as being the swimming teacher and he was my inspiration. I didn't learn to swim until the age of about 6 or 7 which was a complete contrast to my fellow swimmers who had been swimming since they were 6 months old. I used to be very competitive within swimming, competing up and down the country, travelling to the Isle of Wight, Crystal Palace, London, all over the nation but due to injury am now unable to compete to the same standard at which I used to compete. My passion for swimming will never die and as I cannot physically compete anymore, I try to encourage the future world class athletes by teaching children of all ages to swim with my swimming club, Basingstoke Bluefins. As this is a very

A level Project, Personal Exercise Program on Netball.

Zoë Michelle Wiles Candidate number: 2922 A project to improve the performance of a netballer. Section A - Abstract The aim of the project was to look at a performer, identify their major weakness through observation and to improve the performance of a netball player by improving this major weakness which was shown to be the component of power. My hypothesis was that the use of a progressive weight training programme improved the power of a netball player. As a result of the training programme the player avoided more interceptions and passed the ball for longer, more accurate distances in competitive match situations. The performer carried out a six week training program particularly focussing on Quadricep and Hamstring work and Bicep/Tricep work using resistance machines, stretches, based on research theories taking into account personal needs of the performer by looking at power with the inclusion of multiple fitness tests. The test results before and after the exercise program show if the weakness had been improved. The results showed an improvement in passing by 15% and intercepting by 68%. As a result of the findings, the research hypothesis was accepted as possibly there was an improvement in the appropriate energy systems which resulted in skeletal muscular hypertrophy and therefore increased the performer's power and their overall game situation.

Physiology Within Sport

SPORT AND EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY HANDBOOK (ASSIGNMENT EVIDENCE) MODULE: SPORT AND EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY COURSE: BND SPORT AND EXERCISE SCIENCES (YEAR 1) TUTOR: JULIE PLANT STUDENT NUMBER: FCS251761 STUDENT NAME: Letitia Price THE INITIAL RESPONSES OF THE BODY TO EXERCISE . DESCRIBE THE INITIAL CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO EXERCISE The initial responses to exercise are: * The heart rate increases. * Anticipatory heart rise occurs. * Increase in carbon dioxide in the body. * Increase of lactic acid in the body. * Body temperature increases. * Stroke volume increases. 2. EXPLAIN THESE CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES, SUGGESTING WHY THEY OCCUR The cardiovascular system increases the rate of the heart to provide the muscles adequate amounts of nutrients and oxygen, as without these two components they could not function, the heart rate is the amount of time the heart beats or contracts to produce blood flow. Also the increased heart rate increases the removal of waste products because the blood pressure has been increased; the blood pressure is the speed of which blood is passing through vessels. Before any activity your anticipatory rise increases because when your brain thinks about exercising it stimulates the sympathetic nervous system which releases adrenalin, average persons anticipatory heart rate would be 10-15 more heart beats than their resting heart rate.

Planning, performing and evaluating a Personal Exercise Program (PEP)

Planning, performing and evaluating a Personal Exercise Program (PEP) Introduction For me to complete my Personal Exercise Program I will have to go to the gym at least twice a week, but I have chosen to go 3 times a week to try and help maximise my improvements and I will be doing this for 6 weeks. My level of fitness is currently quite low, so to excel in my game of rugby I will need to increase it. This will include improving elements of fitness; I will mainly be doing strength training. Strength is a major element of fitness needed for rugby, which is the sport I am basing my PEP around. I play as a forward because I am quite big and 6 ft in height; the reason why I have chosen to concentrate on my strength is because as a forward, you generally need to be quite strong. I am not a weak person but to improve my performance, this is what I need to concentrate on. I play rugby for my school first team and after a fairly poor previous season, I am very eager to try my best to change that and through training early, I will hopefully get a head start. During the autumn and winter months my school plays weekly matches on Saturdays and training sessions are normally between twice and three times a week. Rugby is a very physically challenging sport and injuries can easily occur if the player is unfit, also if the training program is not done properly including warm-ups and

Information on the Physiology of Exercise

Unit 7 Information on the Physiology of Exercise Faraz Ijaz The Skeletal System The human skeletal system has four main features, these are: * Protection * Support * Movement and attachment * Blood Protection There are two main parts of the skeletal system. The axial skeleton; which consists of the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum, and the appendicular skeleton; which consists of the arms, shoulder griddle, legs and hip griddle. The main function of the axial skeleton is to support the body, to allow it to stand and to maintain a form. The main function of the appendicular skeleton is to allow for movement of the limbs. These two sections of the skeleton combined make the body able to stand and to move. The skeleton now serves two more functions related to sport, to protect vital organs and to produce blood. Protection For protection we rely on our skeleton, because this is hard. Our bones are made up of water, collagen, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate and fluoride salts. The calcium in our bones helps to strengthen the bones, such as the ribs. The ribs are made up of hard bone that is not meant to flex, however it expands to allow for the lungs to inflate and deflate. They provide support and protection to vital organs such as the heart and lungs. Our skull is meant to protect the brain, eyes and ears, the cranium only protects unlike the ribs,

Body In Action

BTEC NATIONAL CERTIFICATE IN SPORT (SPORTS DEVELOPMENT, COACHING AND FITNESS) UNIT 1 BODY IN ACTION ASSIGNMENT 1 Scenario You have been appointed as a sports science lecturer at a local college. You must produce a set of resources to be used by your pupils. Task1 Describe the structure and function of the axial and appendicular skeleton, including all the major bones, and the different classifications of joints and the range of movement at each. (P1) The human skeleton consists of both fused and individual bones supported and supplemented by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage. It serves as a scaffold which supports organs, anchors muscles, and protects organs such as the brain, lungs and heart. At birth a newborn baby has approximately 270 bones, whereas on average an adult human has 206 bones. Axial skeleton The axial skeleton (80 bones) is formed by the vertebral column (26), the thoracic cage (12 pairs of ribs and the sternum), and the skull (22 bones and 7 associated bones). The axial skeleton transmits the weight from the head, the trunk, and the upper extremities down to the lower extremities at the hip joints, and is therefore responsible for the upright position of the human body. Most of the body weight is located in front of the spinal column which therefore have the erector spinal muscles and a large amount of ligaments attached to it resulting in

Skeletal System and Joints

Anatomy; Skeletal System and Joints There are 6 types of Synovial joints; * Hinge, A hinge joint allows extension and flexion, e.g. the elbow, * Saddle, A saddle joint allows abduction, adduction flexion and extension, e.g. the thumb, * Ball and Socket, A ball and socket joint allows for most types of movement abduction adduction, rotation flexion and extension, E.g. hips and shoulders, * Condyloid, Condyloid joints are similar to a ball and socket joint. They allow the same type of movement to a lesser extent, e.g. The wrist, * Pivot, Pivot joints allow only rotation. E.g. neck and forearms have pivot joints. In the neck the occipital bone spins over the top of the axis. In the forearms the radius and ulna twist around each other. * Freely gliding, in a gliding or plane joint bones slide past each other. Carpals and tarsal's joints are gliding joints. Applications of Synovial Joints to Sports and Exercise Examples. Hinge joints; Elbow joint; these only flex and extend so only need two sets of muscles to move them (flexors and extensors). In the case of the arm the biceps brachii are the flexors and the triceps brachii are the extensors. The biceps brachii contract in weight lifting and flexes the elbow joint lifting the weight. To lower the weight the triceps brachii contract and the biceps brachii relax extending the elbow joint. In this one repetition the elbow
