The Pure Theory of Law
Personal Details Name: Age: D.O.B: Height: Weight: Injury concerns: Present fitness levels: Facilities available: Present sporting Activity: At present I take part in various sporting activities. Some for recreational purposes such as my local leisure centre's volleyball team, and others for competitive purposes such as camogie and Gaelic football. I also play Gaelic football for my school and also for my parish team. I also play camogie for my school team. I have been playing camogie and football for about nine or ten years now. My main position on a football team is centre halfback; this position requires a lot of cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance. Planning the programme. Purpose of my PEP. It is my intention through this Personal Exercise Programme to improve my cardiovascular fitness as well as my muscular endurance. As a Gaelic football player I understand just how important these two components are in relation to the game of Gaelic football. They are vital to promote good performance throughout a match. By improving these components I hope to improve my own performance throughout a match. Improving my cardio-vascular fitness will help me to be more involved in the game, it will enable me to keep working at a steady rate throughout the match and better take on the role as an attacking back. As we know players generally tend to become tired
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
The strengths of a Goalkeeper.
G.C.S.E. P.E. Coursework page 1 of 2 Name: Gianni Mulé School: St Thomas More RC School Activity: Football Position: Goalkeeper Name of Player: Gianluigi Buffon For my GCSE PE Coursework I'll be writing about the strengths of a Goalkeeper. A Goalkeeper always needs to be fit before a match because even though he doesn't need to run on the pitch a lot a goalkeeper needs to be fit because if they are not fit they will have difficulties diving to reach a ball when an opponent tries to score and also the keeper might get the ball blasted onto him so he might go down because he is not fit enough to take the shot coming towards him. A Goalkeepers vision is very important for his job because if the keepers vision is bad he wont be able to see the shots coming towards him and then the opponent can score a goal. I think the most important part of a Goalkeepers currier is if he has good grip with his hands because if he is clumsy the opposing player shot will slip right through the keepers hands therefore he lets in a silly goal so the keeper must make sure he has his hands nice and steady and make sure he doesn't have a injury to one of his fingers because if his fingers are injured and the ball hits it hard the keeper could have a broken finger and that could be a permanent injury ending his goalkeeping currier. A Goalkeeper must be a good goal kick taker and
PEP for Rock Climbing
Strength Training for Rock Climbing Rock climbing is a sport that requires strength, coordination, flexibility, endurance, and balance. It is an excellent cross training activity for many other sports such as basketball, racquet sports, and baseball which require strengthening the intrinsic muscles of the feet, lower legs, and hand grip. Psychological demands also come into play; such as puzzle solving skills, team building, and the ability to plan movements in advance. Climbing is a physically challenging, vertical chess match. Common Muscle Imbalances Although every individual is different, there are common muscle imbalances seen in regular rock climbers. Muscles that are commonly tight and need to be stretched include: latissimus dorsi, biceps, forearm and finger flexors. Muscles that are commonly weak and need to be strengthened include: wrist and finger extensors, anterior tibialis, pectorals and anterior shoulder girdle, triceps, rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers, mid and lower trapezius, trunk stabilizers such as spinal erectors and abdominals. Imbalances may need to be addressed not only to improve climbing performance, but to prevent injury. Training Components Components of a properly designed climbing program include flexibility, strength training, proprioception, balance and agility, plyometrics, aerobic and anaerobic cardiovascular fitness. Perhaps the
Have chosen to complete my P.E.P around the sport of football and I have chosen to develop this particular sport to improve my speed on and off the ball ,to improve the accuracy of my shot and to become fitter
Personal Exercise Portfolio Section A: Introduction PEP stands for personal exercise program. This is a programme designed to maximise the users performance at their chosen sport over a period of time by doing regular exercise from the start of the programme until the end. The programme usually contains a timetable of exercises, which will increase in difficulty as the user works through their PEP so that the exercises become more challenging which will eventually improve the users performance in the sport they have chosen to develop. I have chosen to complete my P.E.P around the sport of football and I have chosen to develop this particular sport to improve my speed on and off the ball ,to improve the accuracy of my shot and to become fitter sp I can play with more intensity. The fitness components of my sport are:- * Strength - which would be used when pushing other players off the ball. * Agility - which would be used when going past other players and being able to change direction quickly. * Speed - which will be used most of the time when running for the ball and my ability to beat other players to the ball. * Explosive power - which will be used when jumping for the ball for a header or in a goalkeeper's case to try and catch the ball. * Balance - which is used when controlling the ball and moving quickly. Through my fitness program I intend to achieve:- * A
History of Gymnastics
Rhythmic gymnastics combines ballet and creative movements to music, while working with ribbons, balls, hoops, ropes and clubs in a choreographed dance-and-tumble routine. It has a lot more dance than artistic gymnastics. Everything is done on the floor with far different routines and different music. There are two kinds of gymnastics: rhythmic gymnastics and artistic gymnastics. The kind of gymnastics most of us are familiar with is artistic gymnastics. Women's artistic gymnastics includes uneven bars, balance beam, vault and floor exercise. The kind of gymnastics I am going to talk about is rhythmic gymnastics which includes ball, hoop, ribbon, rope, clubs and sometimes floor exercise (I will go into these in more detail later). Gymnastics, rhythmic and artistic combined, started in Europe during the eighteenth century as one sport and over time gradually developed into two different yet similar sports. Rhythmic gymnastics started as an independent competitive sport in the early nineteen fifties by the Russians. Then in nineteen sixty three the first rhythmic gymnastics world championship was held in Europe. Even though rhythmic gymnastics has its own world championships it did not become an Olympic medal sport until nineteen eighty four. This is partly why rhythmic is such a little known and hardly recognized sport in the U.S. In the U.S. rhythmic gymnastics has six
Types of training.
Types of training There are a wide range of different types and methods of training that can all have different, useful effects. This includes: - * Weight training * Circuit training * Interval training * Continuous training * Fartlek training Weight training This is designed to increase strength. Nowadays, in our local gyms, there is a range of equipment available that can help to increase muscle strength and improve muscle. Whilst using weights, you can either use them in sets or repetitions. A set is the number of times you do a particular weight activity and repetitions are the number of times you move the weights. To increase muscle strength, a programme designed to increase muscle size is required. This uses the principle of overload, which will stress the muscles, gradually making them bigger. Performers also need to do small amounts of repetitions and lots of sets to increase muscle strength. To increase tone, it is the opposite. Other weight training methods are: - * Isotonic- where the amount of weight, moved or lifted, remains constant throughout the movement. * Isokinetic- where specialist 'variable resistance' machines are required and gets the weights to vary as you work at a constant speed. * Isometric- where a contraction is held at a particular point for long periods of time. Circuit training Circuit training is a variety of activities
For this action plan firstly I need to asses the week areas of my decathlon and focus on some goals that need to be achieved for me to become an all round good performer.
Action plan For this action plan firstly I need to asses the week areas of my decathlon and focus on some goals that need to be achieved for me to become an all round good performer. This is to improve my current standard so that I can achieve my goal of being classed as achieving a standard of excellence on the national performance pyramid. I have made a testing program of my own that will test the all round areas of my physical state and asses what needs to be done to improve my all round abilities as an athlete. Before I test myself I know that there are certain week areas that need practice in situ, but as it is the middle of winter I can only work on the basis of each event, and then later on I can look at the more technical aspects of each event. The assessment program that I have compiled looks at: * Sprinting speed, * Speed endurance, * Strength, * Muscle balance, * Flexibility, * Explosive power and quickness, * Body composition, * Joint mobility, * Endurance, Under these titles there are a number of tests to ensure that the testing is accurate and that there are no erroneous results that are due to lack of a testing ability. An example of this would be a test that is say plyometrically founded and may be failed due to lack of coordination. This may show me that I have a failing when it comes to my training but not a failing in the sport specifically. For

I will show these and from these I can make up a 3 week training program focusing on these. My weakness' are: * Hand Roll * Muscular Endurance * Flexibility * Timing My strengths are: * Stern Rudder * Eskimo roll * Speed * Balance From these skills that I am best at and least good at, I will be able to produce a 4 week training program that focus's on my weakness', improves the skills that I am no so weak in but still need improvement, and will give the least attention to my best skills, but I will still
Sport leadership - planning, communicating and motivating.
Unit 1 Planning a lesson before hand is very important in many ways. There are many things that need to be considered while planning a session. The most important thing is the aim and purpose of the lesson, you need to have a clear idea of what the objective of the lesson is so the students know what is being taught, also the goals that need to be achieved at the end of the lesson. Whilst planning a lesson you need to think of the age group of the student this will help you to know the type and level of warm-up and skills should be done in the lessons. Other factors are how many people, what level there at, where the lesson is taking place and equipment. If these factors are in a plan then you are likely to have a successful lesson. Also to evaluate the lesson so you can improve next time, as there is always space for improvement. I feel I needed to improve on my communication skills. Unit 2 Communication skills include verbal, non-verbal and use of whistle. Whilst teaching a lesson it is important to communicate with pupils in an appropriate manner. When you verbally communicate you need to make sure you Phrase your words clearly and positively. Try to have a basic outline of what you are going to say, you have to think before you use your words so the student know you are well prepared and will not lose concentration. Make sure you speak in a loud voice so all students
