Fucus week diary.
Dear Diary, Today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, there are lots of year10's here too, thank god... I would definitely hate it if there was no one I knew here with me. The hardest part was getting up at 6:30 in the morning; I hate mornings. I was hoping that this week would be like a holiday, waking up late, getting to do stuff in the afternoons, no homework... well so much for no homework, I have to write this English diary. Asha and I (my perfect grammar!) took the no. 40 bus to Times Square, we were early getting there, but we had to wait for Kate and ended up being late anyways. First thing after our lecture from Ms Wathall about how being on time is very important, we had an introduction talk from this California fitness guy (I forgot his name already, opps), basically all we were told was to be sensible on the equipment, and to 'be safe you must be smart'. Such a cliché, everything we do now days commences with a lecture about safety. I don't know why they bother; all it does is to give people ideas about ways to get into trouble... Well we were put into four groups; mine is called 'Female Pride'. The name was Dominic's idea, which is why we all find it hilarious. Every time they call it out we crack up laughing. Since Hip Hop was switched to Friday the first thing we had to do was a Cardio blast YEAY! (not). The idea is to get you heart beating fast. If you
Understand the effects of sport in the development of children
Understand the effects of sport in the development of children Social effects Children who regular play sport have showed differences compared with those who don't. There are many social factors but I have highlighted the main ones. These social factors can be used later in life maybe to have respect for work colleagues. Learning respect for others When participating in local sports teams children tend to have respect for their team mates, but also their opponents. Due to the sex difference during school boys tend to be outside whereas girls play indoors. Because of boy playing sport outside they tend to learn goal setting, independent roles, techniques to improve performance and settle dispute. Whereas girls tend to cooperate better and have good patience. Development of coping ability When children play matches or games there are only one winning team but there is also a losing team. When losing the children will have to cope with disappointment and have respect for teamwork and the opposing team. When winning it will teach the children to have respect for the opposing side. Improved cooperation skills A successful team will need to cooperate to do well in a competition, so when children play in a competition in a team sport the performers will need to cooperate with each other, when older they can cooperate with people and consider other peoples feelings and
The training session
The training session Warm up A warm up is designed to prepare the body specifically for the requirements of a training session or match by gradually and dynamically increasing the level of activity. The warm up should consist of a pulse raiser, stretches and an activity specific to the sport. Stretching is important because when you stretch, it is more effective if the muscles are already warmed up. A warm muscle stretches more readily and contracts more effectively, which ultimately reduces the risk of injury. Specific court movements Netball contains explosive and multi-directional movements. Sprinting, jumping, throwing, landing and turning are all explosive movements commonly found in netball. Therefore effective preparation must involve a 'dynamic flexibility' warm, up including a series of progressive movements related more specifically to the game itself, rather than sitting on court completing static stretches. Reaction skills Fast footwork drills for co-ordination will increase the demand on the neuromuscular system. I will only use these drills for a short duration, no further than 10 metres. Specific techniques When I am warm, have a full range of movement, and am dynamically flexible, ball work and team drills can be added to the previous movement skills and performed at the same intensity as the training session of competition to follow.

Health Saftey and Injury - BTEC Sport
Injury Signs and Symptoms How injury is caused Fracture A fracture is wear the bone cracks or completely snaps. Breaking bones is painful due to the amount of blood vessels and nerves in the bones. Fractures can be described in two ways. A Simple Fracture - This is just where the bone simply cracks. A Compound Fracture - This is where the bone sticks out of the skin. There is often tenderness around the bone making it hard to use and it will most certainly swell causing it to look deformed. They are usually caused when a bone takes direct impact with a lot of force and are often very painful. This will be the result of events such as hard and reckless sliding tackles which may be a result of another players desire to win or fatigue making them play recklessly. It usually extrinsic because you are pushing yourself to the limit there is more chance of colliding with another player or pieces of equipment/ground Tendonitis The tendons in joints such as the elbow become inflamed and sore/painful. This is common with sports such as tennis and golf where the tendon in the elbow is under constant use. The elbow will be very sore and it becomes almost impossible to use without difficulty. Swelling will be visible surrounding the injured tendon. Tendonitis is caused by overuse of the tendons, frequently in the lower arm in the lower arm possibly from pushing their body to the
Netball Analysis
Netball Analysis During the netball game my position was as a goal defender and I mainly concentrated on attempting to intercept the ball from the opposition and safely pass it on to either the centre or the goal attacker. I intercepted the ball several times from the opposing goal attacker, I also attempted to be clear in a clear and open space at all times. The tactic that our team produced was to try and make short but safe passes to the position ahead of us e.g. from the goal attacker to the goal scorer. This tactic did prove to be extremely useful. We also all attempted to all mainly use the roll off dodge because in other practices it proved to be very effective; we all still however used every other dodge when we thought that it would be most efficient. The whistle was blown twice in the game while I had possession of the ball. Both times however were due to the opposition's mistakes, such as making mistakes with their footwork as well as performing a foul against me. I do think however that at one point the referee did not notice when I had accidentally hit the opposition in the effort to hit the ball out of his hands. In the game I did try and think that I did successfully kept one metre away from the opposition and I did place my hands as close to the ball as possible making it very difficult for him/her to successfully pass the ball. I did find myself

Consequently for my PEP I will ensure everything is safe to use and the area is out of harm's way before starting my training. I will also ensure that I perform the correct procedures such as warming up
Awareness of safety: When doing any sort of training it is obviously very important to keep things safe, and avoid any sort of injury as this could affect your training if you were to injure yourself and avoid any hazards during training. Consequently for my PEP I will ensure everything is safe to use and the area is out of harm's way before starting my training. I will also ensure that I perform the correct procedures such as warming up and stretching my muscles properly before going into my training as this could cause stiffness and discomfort if not done appropriately. Warm ups and their benefits A warm up is usually performed before participating in sports or exercising. A warm up generally consists of a gradual increase in intensity in physical activity before actual performance. For example, before running or playing an intense sport you can slowly jog to warm muscles and increase heart rate. The purpose of the warm up is to take the body from an "at rest" state and prepare it for increased intensity activity. The gentle increase in activity allows the capillaries to dilate (expand) slowly to accommodate the increased blood flow and oxygen for the upcoming aerobic activity. Although the warm ups sounds quite straightforward, they are still structured into three sequences: . The pulse raiser- this involves light exercises to just gradually increase body temperature
We have all been stressed out at some time in our lives
Intro: We have all been stressed out at some time in our lives, in fact many of us are stressed out right now. Most of us have also suffered from colds or have had injuries. Today, I am going to tell you about a few different alternative healing methods and how they can help you deal with stress. I will discuss the processes and benefits of Acupuncture, Massage, Reflexology, and Yoga. I am credible on these subjects because I have read several books about them, have experienced massage and reflexology first-hand, and I have attended yoga classes. I have also been around others, like most of you, who have experienced one or more of these treatments. As I just mentioned, I have experienced three out of the four. I have never had an acupuncture treatment, but I have a friend, Anneliese, who visits her acupuncturist on a regular basis. According to Anneliese, "acupuncture doesn't hurt, the sensation felt is similar to how it feels when a mosquito bites you." Acupuncture treatments involve the insertion of very fine needles on the body's surface, in order to influence bodily functions. This is done through channels in our bodies called meridians. Meridians are believed to be special pathways through which energies flow. Jeffrey Singer states in his essay titled "Acupuncture, A Brief Introduction", if the flow of the energies through the body becomes insufficient or
Sports specific test
Sports specific test. S.berry Warm up: Before starting any type of exercise a full warm up must be undertaken to make sure that one is less likely to pull or strain muscles during the activity. Here are the stretches it is necessary to do before playing football, as different sports require different stretches. N.B. one should never bounce when stretching and never stretch cold muscles; one should always warm up with some easy physical activity before stretching. Stretches: For maximal efficiency: Hold 30 seconds and repeat 5 times Minimal requirements: Hold 10 seconds and repeat 3 times Before starting my stretches I will warm up my muscles by jogging around the hall/pitch twice. The neck stretch: Looking directly ahead of you put one hand across your head, placing your hand on the opposite side of your face. Use your hand to pull your head gently down towards your shoulder. When you feel a stretch, hold. Repeat to the other side. The Hip flexor stretch (standing): From the standing position, take a step forward with your left leg while keeping the right leg straight. Now bend the knee of the left leg until you feel a stretch in the front area of the right hip. Make sure the left foot is beneath the left knee or slightly in front of it. Hold. Repeat with the other side. Groin stretch: Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet together. While holding
personal plan
Sport Science Coursework Corrections. Programme. The aim of this Programme I 'am going to do, will be concentrating on how I could improve on my health and fitness, with support of enrolling a sport that I enjoy. The six week trail period that I have set up, was meant to gain me the things that I said that I had to improve on, like working on getting more muscle for more explosive power. Specificity: In this area I'll be talking about the circuit I have designed to follow, so that I will improve my overall work load. I will need to improve my muscular endurance, muscular strength, my speed and agility. F-frequency, this means how many times I will repeat a certain exercise. I-Intensity, this means how hard I will be working during an exercise. T- time, How long the training will be going on for. T-type, The sort of training I will taking to improve my principles. FITT will help to understand and plan a bit more on what I should be doing. Also FITT will help in the sport I 'am doing because the factors of it will help to become a better player. Football is a sport that is physical, so a player has to be competitive, physical, strong and maybe skillful. For me to become a great football player I'll need to do more than just play football I'll need to do more than it is expected. I'll need to try harder so that I could become a great player. In this case I'll want to
