I have chosen to do my study on a comparison of hockey passing (hit and push).

Analytical Investigation. When I had chosen these sports I had to rule out which sports I would not be able to have access to equipment easily, at first I recognised that swimming would be very hard as there is not really a quiet time after school hours to use the swimming pool publicly. Then I also ruled out netball, as this is not one of my favourite aspects of sport and would find it challenging to do my Analytical Investigation on this sport. I was then left with Hockey and Badminton and as facilities I had in mind for Badminton were not available, I was left with hockey, which was a delight as I have three grass pitches available to me in my area and two Astroturf pitches. This would make it easy for me to arrange my sessions to suit the pupils and me. I have chosen to do my study on a comparison of hockey passing (hit and push). I am choosing this sport as I have been playing hockey now for three years at school and for nearly three years at Salford Youths also playing for Manchester Youths and Manchester Moss Park Ladies. I have taken part in the Greater Manchester Youth Games twice and also played in many different leagues and tournaments. I train once week and have a league match every other Sunday morning. Since year 7 I have been taught the basic rules and skills of hockey in P.E in school. But since I have been attending Salford Youths my knowledge has

Aqua Fitness/Water Safety

SURF AWARENESS . What are some of the visual signs that will indicate a rip is present? Before you try to locate a rip it must be understood what a rip is. A rip current, rip tide or rip is a strong surface flow of water returning seaward from nearer the shore. Although rip currents would exist even without the tides, the tides can make the existing rip more dangerous, especially low tide. Rips can move to different locations on a beach break, up to tens of metres a day. They can occur at any beach with breaking waves. Some of the visual signs that will indicate a rip is present are: * Calm water caused by the channel of water flowing out * Colour of water may be different from the surrounding area, usually brown; this is because of the sand being pulled away from the beach * The water line is lower on the shore near a rip current * Water moving in swells toward the beach, pushes against the beach, and then goes back out. It then forms into dark, choppy rivers within the ocean, this is the fatal rip currents * This dark patch is wider at the beach that is the mouth of the rip current, and then it is straight out or at a slight angle into the ocean. The far end of the rip current usually forms a large roundish shape and is known as the head of the rip current * Look for debris r foam floating * NOTE: It is better to look for a rip, from a higher perspective 2.

Unit 2 pe btec

Unit 2 Health, Safety and Injury in Sport D2 Shin Guards Shin guards can reduce the force of hard blows by up to 77 percent, and that can mean the difference between a bump and a broken bone. Shin guards are mainly used to protect the lower leg against contact injuries. The anterior tibial border is very exposed as it only has a layer of skin over it. Repetitive blows occurring on someone not wearing shin guards can cause damage to the bone. Shin guards are also important for protecting the soft tissue of the lower leg. The lower leg is the most common site for compartment syndrome. The fascia covering the muscles is inelastic, so when a muscle swells a lot it is being contained by the fascia and this can actually cause significant damage. Repetitive blows to the leg can cause the fascia to scar down, become even tighter, and greatly increase a person's chance for developing compartment syndrome. Shin guards also give the player a smooth surface to play the ball off of. In terms of shin splints, the shin guard itself will not prevent them. But if your particular guard relies on compression sleeves to hold them the compression sleeves can help with shin splints. They should offer maximum protection while at the same time not hindering performance of the athlete. For soccer, goal keepers and forwards will need shin guards of the lightest weight because of their need for

Description of personal warm up.

Description of personal warm up The general effects of warm ups: * Exposes not only muscles but joints and connective tissues to controlled stretching loads. * Decreases muscular tension. * Improved flexibility increases production of synovial fluid and increased efficiency of joint movement. * It increases the body and muscle temperature, which in turn increase muscle elasticity. * Stretching decreases the OBLA due to the onset of anaerobic work without which in turn limits the Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness (DOMS). * Stretching decreases muscle cramp and increases full ROM in activities to follow and increases relaxation of stretched muscle. * Helps you psychologically prepare. * Increase in the rate that energy is released in the body (metabolic rate) There are 3 main parts to a warm up; I have identified these as: .

Why We Should Warm Up!

Don't rush into any sport, dance or exercise without warming up first! It is very important to warm up first of all because muscles that haven't been properly prepared tend to be injured more easily, so warming up helps our body prepare itself for exercise therefore reduces the chance of damage The warm-up should be a combination of little exercise that begins to raise the heart rate and raise muscle temperature, and standing stretching through a full range of activity. The rhythmic exercise may be a slower version of the activity to come. For example, you might want to walk before you jog, or do some small dance movements before a dance class. Follow your brief warm-up with some stretches. Stretching is important after warm-ups because your tissues will be more elastic [flexible] due to the increase in heat and blood flow to the muscles, the stretches in the warm-up should cover all of the major muscle groups. Always stretch the lower back before doing any lateral movement of the upper torso such as side bends. Practice gets your brain and body to work together while improving your performance. Although you should practice regularly, don't overdo it. Sudden increases in training frequency, duration, or intensity might produce better performance at first but can lead to injuries later 0 things why we should warm up! Increased elasticity of the muscle. This allows

Fitness tests

Throughout the course of the Programme, we had done a series of tests. Below are the tests that we carried out. I have decided to explain each test in term to give out a more clear understanding about what it consisted of. Squat Thrusts --> Put your hands on the floor, shoulder width apart. Stretch your legs out behind you as if you are about to do a press up.- In one movement, bring both legs into a tuck position, bending the knees into the chest.- Return to position one. The exercise should be repeated 10-15 times using quick movements. Sit Up's -->Starts by lying flat on your back with arms folded across your front and each hand griping the opposite biceps. Your knees are bent and your feet are held by a partner. You must bring your elbows up to touch your knees and then return to the start position, the movement is repeated for the specified time. The count is progressed as the elbows touch the knees. If the biceps are not griped or the elbows do not touch the knee then that sit up is not counted. Press-Ups --> Lie face down on the floor, elbows bent and hands up by the chest, elbows bent, palms facing forwards. Raise your body up by straightening the arms, keeping your body straight as a plank. Once you have reached the top of the Press Up and your arms have straightened out, hold for a second and slowly lower back down to the starting position. Repeat this for 3-5

cool down after my choosen sport

Cool down Warming down should consist of the following: * 5 to 10 minutes jogging/walking - decrease body temperature and remove waste products from the working muscles * 5 to 10 minutes static stretching exercises- decrease body temperature, remove waste products from the working muscles and to increase range of movement. Static stretches are more appropriate to the cool down as they help muscles to relax and increase their range of movement. What are the benefits of a cool down? An appropriate cool down will: * aid in the dissipation of waste products - including lactic acid * reduce the potential for DOMS * reduce the chances of dizziness or fainting caused by the pooling of venous blood at the extremities * reduce the level of adrenaline in the blood * allows the heart rate to return to it's resting rate Once I have completed my main activity it is important that I cool down, this will slowly reduce the build up of lactic acid in my muscles by reducing my heart rate and breathing at a steady pace instead of just terminating the exercise after the main activity. I cool down to allow a gradual fall in my heart rate; I achieve this by performing light aerobic exercise such as walking for 5-10 minuets before strtching, as it shortens the recovery time of my muscles as it removes carbon dioxide and lactic acid, Which will make my heart rate decrease. I will

It was a warm summer's afternoon but the wind blew cold around Sandra's legs as she stood waiting for the bus, her large green rucksack stood beside her.

It was a warm summer's afternoon but the wind blew cold around Sandra's legs as she stood waiting for the bus, her large green rucksack stood beside her. Sandra was starting to regret wearing shorts, but she knew that she would warm when she got to the mountains with Jason. A woman passed at the other side of the street giving Sandra a strange sort of smile, a smile that said, "are you nuts?" Sandra smiled back at the woman and then looked down at her self and decided that she would probably have given herself the same smile. She was wearing worn green and beige hiking boots with brown socks rolled up around the mid way mark of her athletic tanned calves. Her khaki shorts were indeed very short and highlighted by the fact she was wearing a matching shirt. The weather was warm probably about seventeen degrees but the side of the street she stood on was in the shade. The only thing that stopped her from having to warm on the other side of the street was her faithful dark blue regatta fleece, it had seen her through the last three winters one of which was spent in Norway Skiing with her Aunt Matilda. Good old Matilda, her aunt was forty years old going on sixteen always full of adventure and it was a result of one her snowboarding holidays that she had introduced Sandra to Jason. Matilda had met Jason in Andorra. He was described to her as twenty two years old, single,
