Define personality and how personality affects performance
Unit17 Task1 Catriona Quigley Define personality and how personality affects performance (Task1/P1) While there are many different theories of personality, the first step is to understand exactly what is meant by the term personality. A definition would be that personality is made up of the characteristic patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours that make a person unique. In addition to this, personality arises from within the individual and remains fairly consistent throughout life. There are a number of theories and approaches that have been suggested to try to explain personality and how it can influence sports performance. The main theories I will look at are: . Sheldon's Constitutional theories (1942) 2. Trait Theory 3. Cattell’s 16PF 4. Situational Approach 5. Social learning theory 6. Type A and Type B 7. Interaction Approach There are many different theories on personality which affect performance but none of them can ever be exact. Sheldon's Constitutional theories (1942) One of the first attempts at a theory of personality was Sheldon's constitutional theory, which related personality to soma type. Sheldon believed that different body shapes created different personalities. Endomorph - Endomorphs are predisposed to storing fat, known to be sociable, friendly and fun loving. An endomorphic individual typically has short arms
Anatomy For BTEC Sport - bones and muscles.
BTEC Level 3 in Sport November 1 2012 ________________ BTEC Level 3 in Sport UNIT 1 Anatomy Human Skeleton For humans the skeleton is a large part to the structure of the body because of all its required functions which all help to maintain the body in a safe and secure state. The human skeleton is made of 206 bones which are specifically developed and designed to perform several basic functions. At birth the human skeleton is made up of 275 different bones and as the body matures some of the bones fuse together leaving only 206 bones in the adult body. The skeleton is the internal structure that holds the human body up and with the help of the muscular system allows us to move. The skeleton includes several functions which are vitally important and essential for participation and contribution towards physical activity and movement. Without other components the skeleton would not be able to perform its functions correctly because it needs to combine with ligaments and joints otherwise it wouldn't be able to achieve the following functions: Support The skeleton helps to provide a rigid and inflexible framework to the body which in turn gives the body its shape and also provides suitable positions for attachment of skeletal muscle. Protection The skeleton provides intensive protection for all the body's internal organs to prevent any damage which occur and cause
Practical team sports analysis - Football and Basketball
BTEC Sport Level 3 January 1 2013 ________________ Football There are various individual skills and team tactics needed to play football. Formations Formations in football are a method of positioning players on the pitch to allow a team to play according to their pre-set tactics. Different formations can be used depending on whether a team wishes to play more attacking or defensive football. Usually if the team has the ball more in a game and they have already scored more than once they just keep the ball and not risk taking passes that will give the ball away. Formations can be altered during a game, but this requires adaptation by the players to fit in to the new system. Formations count the number of players in each area, beginning with the defensive line (not including the goalkeeper). It is by convention counted when the team is defending and being properly organised. The most common formations are variations of 4-4-2, 4-3-3. Substitutions In competitive 11-a-side matches, teams are allowed to bring on up to three substitutes. The rules of the competition must state the maximum number of players allowed to be named as a substitute, which may be anywhere between three and seven. In non-competitive matches, the use of substitutes must be determined before the match begins, except in friendly international matches, where no more than six substitutes may be brought

Local Study - Provision & Opportunity for Football in London (Haringey)
Amir Mohsenifar AS level Physical Education Local Study Football Local studies 2.2- Provision & Opportunity for Football in London (Haringey) For my local study I have chosen to research football in my area of north London, mainly focused on the boroughs of Haringey and Islington. The local study will be centre around the opportunities available to develop roles as performer, leadership and official and if the governing body the ‘FA’ (football association) has a role in this. In the borough of Haringey there are many parks, Astroturf pitch hire and Sunday youth teams. The level as which football is being played at in the borough is ‘Foundation’ [1] as many players play to keep fit and enjoy it. The schools in Islington and Haringey offer boys physical education lessons in football. This improves their knowledge and improves the skills which can be used in a match. There are two big parks specialised for football in Haringey. These parks are available to anyone and it is free. The most sophisticated park is in of the Haringey (Muswell Hill Playing Fields) has fog lights which are on till 11pm depending on the seasons. On the other hand when it is raining the private sectors are available. There is only one facility which allows you to hire pitch in this borough which is Powerleague. The cost for students is usually £3 per person but during Friday Saturday
Critically evaluate the effect of an impact sport and a repetitive action sport on the skeletal system of a young performer
Critically evaluate the effect of an impact sport and a repetitive action sport on the skeletal system of a young performer. (10) Impact sport and repetitive action sport can be extremely beneficial to the skeletal system of a young performer however they also have their pitfalls. A high impact sport is like gymnastics or basketball, these sports can cause extra stress on the joints of the legs and the spine, where as a low impact sport is any sport which has less strain on the weight bearing joints, examples of a low impact sport are swimming or jogging. A repetitive sport is when a specific joint or joints perform a movement repeatedly in any activity like in golf or tennis. The main beneficial effect of an impact sport and repetitive action sport is the increase in bone density, because when a person regularly exercises more calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate is deposited making the bone stronger. By participating in a high impact sport this causes microscopic fibers in the bone to shatter and grow back stronger. This is beneficial because it makes the person less prone to injury and protects the growth plate from getting damaged. As a person gets older the bone contains less collagen and becomes less dense, causing easily damaged brittle bones; however if a person has maintained strong bones throughout their life through exercise the stronger they will remain.
drugs in sport
PSDSD 1019 Drugs in sport Drugs in sport is a major problem at this moment in time as it is beginning to become easier to attain drugs in your locally area. There is four different aspects that will be looked at in this essay are the four different aspects of drugs in sport which are philosophy, sociology, psychology and physiology. Each of these different aspects is influential in drugs in sport. These issues are major in sport, as they not only affect the professional athletes that people think that they do. A survey taken of sefton Liverpool is only one example how it affects everyone not just professionals. This showed that anabolic steroids had been the third most commonly offered drug behind cannabis and amphetamines, revealing that 6·4% of boys and 1·3% of girls had been offered anabolic steroids (Clarke 1999). We can see the problems with drugs in sport in that if children find out there favourite players or athletes are taking these drugs then they must be tempted and the survey shows how easy it is for them to gain possession of the drug. Drugs are a major issue that has to be looked at. Un officially reports claim that there is as many as twenty to forty percent of gym users taking perfromencing-enhancing drugs. This shows the severity of drugs in sport. (Drug scope website) The first aspect to look at is the philosophy of drugs in sport. Philosophy is
Lifestyle Factors
Russell Smith 6/10/10 Exercise, Health, and Lifestyle Lifestyle Factors I have been approached by the local Council, who in partnership with various Fitness centres in the area, have identified a need to educate people about various lifestyle factors and how they may affect health. So I am going to discuss and examine the components of lifestyle factors. Physical activity (PA) is anything from pushing the vacuum cleaner around the house, to playing football for a professional team. 30 minutes of moderate intensity PA, 5 times a week is deemed enough to receive health benefits. For children this is increased to 60 minutes a day, but still 5 times a week. Regular PA can increase your BMR by 10%, which can contribute to losing weight and mobilising joints. The actual definition for weight lose is, the decrease of risk of getting CHD (Coronary Heart Disease), some types of cancer (colon and prostate), and diabetes. Also PA helps alleviate arthritis. We've known about the health risks of smoking for over 50 years, yet 1 in 5 adults still smoke. 22 % of men smoke in the UK, statistics show that a smoker is more likely to be male, a manual worker, between the age of 20 - 24, from an ethnic minority (particularly Bangladeshi), and from the north west of the UK. There are 3 main
Lifestyle Factors
Lifestyle Factors In this assignment I am going to describe four different lifestyle factors that can affect sports performance. I will also explain the effects of fitness and lifestyle factors on sports performance and evaluate the effects of lifestyle factors on sports performance, providing recommendations for change. Lifestyle factors is the way in which we conduct our everyday lives, it can have a significant effect on our overall fitness for sport. These are the four Lifestyle factors I will be discussing; * Alcohol Consumption * Smoking * Drugs * Sleeping Habits Alcohol Consumption Alcohol drinks contain a chemical called ethanol. Large quantities are severely dangerous, it affects co-ordination, judgements, balance, hearing and speech. It is known to make people aggressive, it lowers the level of glycogen in your muscles, and this means they can't work so long or so hard. Long term alcohol abuse leads to kidney and liver damage. Alcohol can be very addictive and is often hard to give up, George Best one of the worlds greatest footballers is a prime example for this. He had a liver transplant because of the amount of alcohol he would consume but couldn't give up and still abused his body with alcohol and unfortunately died. In my opinion if he didn't drink in his playing days, he would have been much more of a talent than he already was, he was forced
