When you are thinking about making a tennis lesson you should think about keeping young people involved
PE coursework James Tittensor 0lc Tennis Introduction For my coursework I am going to plan a lesson, Say why warming up is so important, what the lines on the court mean and what areas of the body you need to warm up for tennis and write down tips on different types of tennis shots, e.g. forehand, 1 handed backhand and 2 handed back hand, volley, serve, drop shot and all the different grips for each shot Warm up Stretches should be done slowly and should NOT BE PAINFUL. For maximal efficiency: Hold 30 seconds and repeat 5 times, Minimal requirements: Hold 10 seconds and repeat 3 times Serves Big servers like Greg Rusedski can blast the ball at speeds in excess of 140mph. And top women like Venus Williams send it down at anything up to 120mph. To be successful in the modern game players have to have an effective serve. They have to be able to hit the ball hard but also with amazing accuracy. The more points you can take on your serve with service winners and aces, the harder you will be to beat. The techniques you should use when you are serving are, when you throw the ball up it should be vertical and should be able to land in front of you left foot, after your throw you should always keep the throwing arm up until you finish serving this gives you more reach, when you are hitting the ball you should make sure that you only follow through to the tip of the net, if
Why are some people naturally better at sports than others?
Why are some people naturally better at sports than others? - An Introduction to VO2 Max Every cell consumes oxygen for respiration, to make energy. Muscle cells that are used in exercise need energy to contract. So it makes sense that they will use more oxygen during exercise. Therefore to be good at sport, getting as much oxygen as possible to those cells is vital. This is called the maximum oxygen consumption and is characteristically very high in great athletes. The measurement for maximum oxygen consumption is VO2 max, or the volume of oxygen consumed by the body each minute during exercise. Because oxygen consumption and energy expenditure are related, measuring one means you are also measuring the other. Basically, the bigger a person's VO2max the better they are at sport! VO2 max can be determined by considering 3 factors: . Cardiac output (or the volume of blood pumped by the heart in one minute) This is calculated from the heart rate (or the number of beats per minute) and the stroke volume (how much blood is pumped at each beat). 2. The oxygen carrying capacity of the blood (or the number of haemoglobin in the red blood cells) 3. The amount of muscle and its ability to use the oxygen supplied. In other words, to have a high VO2 max (and be better at sport), you need to have a big and efficient pump to deliver oxygen right blood to the muscles, and

Am to undergo a Personal Exercise Programme, that will last six weeks, to help me in my chosen sport. I am choosing football and the fitness area I am looking at is stamina
Introduction My name is William Sweet I am 15 years old and I have a fairly active lifestyle. I play football at least 3 times a week and have four, hour and ten minute lesson of sport a week. I have a reasonably well balanced diet. I play football for a local team called Ashridge, who were promoted into division one of the league last year. I play on the right of midfield. I also play cricket for school. Playing on the wing means a lot of running up and down the wings is involved so fitness is important As part of my GCSE Sport studies work I am to undergo a Personal Exercise Programme, that will last six weeks, to help me in my chosen sport. I am choosing football and the fitness area I am looking at is stamina. I have chosen stamina because it will mean that I can run for longer up and down the football pitch without getting tired. What is a Personal Fitness Programme? All people benefit from personal fitness, whatever somatotype they are, Endomorphic, Mesomorphic and Ectomorphic . Exercise can improve people's strength, stamina, speed and suppleness the 4 S's and many more. Using a programme that is based around your fitness is much better as it has your own targets and what you can achieve. This is called the SPOR, S = Specificity, Each person needs a different training based on their abilities. P = Progression, the increase in amount of training
The Golfers Training Programme.
Golf The golf game itself has dated back to around 1340, where the first signs of the game started with a man hitting a club at a ball. But it was not until around the 1350's until golf became a game where people hit the ball across towards a goal. When the game was found, many countries banned anyone from playing the sport, until King James IV bought some clubs of his own. From then on, many places confirmed the right for people to play golf on the land. The first golf ball would probably have been turned boxwood, until around 1620 when the feathery ball was introduced. Role Models There are hundreds of golfers today that are competing to be world number one. But the current number one is Tiger Woods, an American golfer who has been world number one for many years. Born on December 30, 1975, Woods grew up in Cypress, California. Forename: Eldrick (Tiger) Surname: Woods DOB: 30-Dec-1975 Height: 6'2 Weight: 185 Family: Earl and Kultida Woods Eldrick (Tiger) Woods, now 27 years of age, has had an amazing career since becoming a professional golfer in the late summer of 1996. He has won 52 tournaments, 39 of those on the PGA TOUR, including the 1997, 2001, and 2002 Masters Tournaments, 1999 and 2000 PGA Championships, 2000 and 2002 U.S. Open Championship, and 2000 British Open Championship. With his second Masters victory in 2001, Tiger became the first ever to
Benefits of Exercise.
Benefits of Exercise The benefits of exercise are far-reaching. Clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated that regular aerobic exercise reduces the risk of death due to heart disease and stroke, aids in reducing weight, helps prevent diabetes mellitus, strengthens bones, and enhances immune function. The psychological benefits are also broad, and most studies suggest a positive relationship between physical fitness and mental achievement. The relationship between regular aerobic exercise and cardiovascular health and longevity is well established. Regular exercise leads to a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease, in which fatty deposits (plaque) form in blood vessels supplying the muscular wall of the heart, compromising oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. In addition, with regular exercise the efficiency of the heart during exercise is increased. Many people exercise to lose weight. A calorie is a unit that measures the energy content of foods and the energy expenditure by the body. When the daily calorie intake from food is the same as calories expended from exercise, weight remains the same. The number of calories burned during exercise varies greatly with the type of physical activity, but the key to successful weight reduction is to exercise regularly, without increasing food intake proportionally. For example, walking one hour per day
warm up befor my choosen sport
WARM UP: My chosen sport is netball, I have being playing netball at 8years now at a grass root level, and I have also been part of a team in a local adult league. I train every Thursday in the local sports hall with school. The warm up activities are a crucial part of any exercise regime or sports training. The importance of a structured warm up routine should not be under estimated when it comes to the prevention of sports injury.An effective warm up has a number of very important key elements. These elements, or parts, should all be working together to minimize the likelihood of sports injury from physical activity. Warming up should at least consist of the following: * 5 to 10 minutes jogging - to increase body temperature * 10 to 15 minutes dynamic stretching exercises - reduce muscle stiffness * 10 to 15 minutes general and event specific drills - preparation for the session or competition. e.g. for a runner o Lower leg drills o Leg drills o Technique drills 4 to 8 easy run outs over 30 to 60 meters - focus on correct running technique (Tall, Relaxed, Smooth and Drive) Warming up prior to any physical activity does a number of beneficial things: * Increased speed of contraction and relaxation of warmed muscles * Dynamic exercises reduce muscle stiffness * Greater economy of movement because of lowered viscous resistance within warmed muscles *
Jogging for muscular endurance program coursework
Jogging Programme Jogging is a form of trotting or running at a slow or leisurely pace. The main intention is to increase fitness with less stress than running usually around a pace of less than 6 mph (10 minute per mile pace, 10 km/h, 6 min/km). Jogging is an aerobic exercise compared to running or sprinting which are anaerobic. Advantages of jogging * Jogging is one of the healthiest sports. It strengthens the muscles and improves muscular endurance. * Jogging is ideal for increasing fitness levels and burning calories, about 700 kcal/hour. * Jogging is a good way of relieving stress. My jogging programme This will be my weekly programme; I will be following this for 6 weeks. To monitor the effects of my program I will perform a timed jog before I start the programme and at the end of the programme to see if I have made progress or not. Type Time Distance Location Stimulation Monday Continuous hour Road Walkman Tuesday Rest Day Wednesday Continuous 2 miles Park Dog Thursday Continuous hour Road Music Friday Rest Day Saturday Fartlek 2.5 miles Park Partner Sunday Rest Day Clothing * You will need well-cushioned shoes that are designed for jogging. The heavier you are, the more important it is to have well-cushioned shoes. They should fit well and match your foot type and jogging style. During wet weather or when jogging on slippery
Cardiac endurance training.
GCSE Coursework .Planning My training programme was at the correct level for me because I was able to achieve my targets; but they were a challenge; I knew I could run the 1500m so I started at that distance and the target became the time in which I could run it in. I decided to run the first session comfortably then get faster after each one. I applied the principles of overload and progression by running at a faster pace at each session, I timed half way through the run and then the next session I knew if I was slower or faster than before, at the same distance. I progressed by overloading a small amount each time. This way my body gets used to the activity. The exercises were the correct ones to choose because I want to improve my endurance so by using specificity you must do a exercise that uses more heart work; progression and overload makes your heart better for endurance events. Running is a good way to do this; this is why my exercise was a good one for my target. 2. Performing My programme was easy to set up because I used the Gordano School running track, so I already had a marked out area that I knew the length of. It was also easy to monitor because the track was marked out. All I had to do was count the number of 100m I ran. I don't really enjoy long distance running but I did run to my limit because how my body felt at the end of each session, my heart
B-Tec Sport Risk Factors
D1: Compare and analyse the impact of injury and risk factors on successful sports performance. TASK 1: Using the list of injuries shown (see Figure 1), compare and analyse the impact of injury and risk factors on successful sports performance by filling in the chart below. Figure 1: Head injuries (e.g. concussion, unconsciousness), spinal injuries, simple and compound fractures, joint injuries (e.g. dislocations, tennis and golf elbow, torn cartilage, twisted ankle), soft tissue, cuts, grazes and blisters, dehydration and hypothermia. Risk Factor Sporting Situation Most likely injury to occur Impact of injury on successful sports performance Short term Effects Long term Effects Lack of warm-up Football Pulled muscles e.g. pulled hamstring, pulled quadriceps etc... The short term affect of a lack of warm up is that it you could pull your muscles. The time that you are out of action for will depend on the extent of the injury. The normal period of time that you will be out for with pulled muscles is 2-3 weeks. The long term affects of a lack of warm up is that it could take longer for you to recover from any injuries that you might have. A constant lack of warm up will result in you being out of action for a longer period when you are injured in the future. Lack of cool down Football Cramp The short term affect of a lack of cool down is that it can cause a
