COLLABORATION AND COMPETITION. Sport has important benefits for individuals and the country. The sport industry is important to many people whop work in it and those people who use the products and the services it offers. There are three main sectors of sports which are: * The public sector- organisations which the government put the money into the business to keep it running, For example: Herring Thorpe leisure centre. The aims for the public sector are that they provide sports for people in local areas for a reasonable price and are not the best quality of facility. This sector isn't really built for making a profit; it is mainly for the local people to participate in sport and to keep them fit and healthy. The organisation of the public sector is good but if there is not enou money being made then they can close it down or close just the main attraction down which could be things like a swimming pool or a sports hall if a shortage of money. The people who participate in this sector are the local people who have a good interest in sport and want to keep fit and healthy. The public sectors funding isn't to make a profit it is just to provide sports for the local people and for them to keep fit. * The private sector- an organisation which aims to make a profit from the business for themselves and other people. These are private clubs which provide facilities for members.
What is Ergonomics?
ERGONOMICS HEALTH AND SAFETY INTRODUCTION: What is Ergonomics? Ergonomics is a discipline that involves arranging the environment to fit the person in it. When ergonomics is applied correctly in the work environment, visual and musculoskeletal discomfort and fatigue are reduced significantly. In recent years, CDC's Office of Health and Safety has identified repetitive motion injuries as a factor in employee injuries. These injuries are caused by excessive and repeated physical stress on the musculoskeletal system - the hands, wrists, elbow, shoulders, neck, and back. Following ergonomic principles helps reduce stress and eliminate many potential injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture, and repeated tasks. This is accomplished by designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting, and equipment to fit the employee's physical capabilities and limitations. TASK1 Val's stress problem is caused by her spending the majority of her work time reading from a VDT, without any regular set breaks and long hours encouraging the problem to the extent of her not being able to sleep properly. After analysing the many factors of ergonomics, below are some products, which could be used by Val to help elevate or even prevent her problems. Keyboard Trays Purpose: To adjust the height and angle of a keyboard in order to fit the person or
Leisure and Recreation, Planning and Carrying out a Team Project.
Unit 6 Leisure and Recreation, Planning and Carrying out a Team Project Our Brain Storm This is our brain storm of the ideas we have come up with to do our event. Disco Water Fight Mini Olympics Band Camp Trip to Alton Towers Trip to Chesington World of Adventures Initially we had to carry out a brain storm of ideas to outline all of our ideas and to pick the one that we as a group can conduct effectively. The criteria we had to keep in mind was that we had to involve the lower School children, the event had to happen in an opening of 2 hours and the event would have to be running on a Wednesday. Keeping this in mind we had to scrap the following ideas: * Trip to Alton Towers * Trip to Chesington World of Adventures As our competing group was doing a disco we had to scrap that idea. We all agreed on the mini Olympics, as it was easy and would tie in the same category as PE. We now had to agree on the sports we were going to use in this, the criteria we had was the Hartsdown Hall and only 7 courts in it. So we decided: Hockey Cricket Table Tennis Football Target Shooting Tennins Running Badminton Tug of War Swimming Basketball BaseBall We have now chosen our task completely and we are now in the process of starting our groups organisation. This is the way in which we as our group will be working, we have divided the work in four sections to
Sport psychology is practiced by psychologists specializing in the domain of sport psychology and by sport scientists specializing in psychological aspects of sport and the athlete.
INTRODUCTION Sport psychology is practiced by psychologists specializing in the domain of sport psychology and by sport scientists specializing in psychological aspects of sport and the athlete. It concerns itself with the maximization of sporting performance by developing the mental strength and addressing the general psychological well being of athletes. Sports psychologists from both backgrounds, have most often worked with athletes on mental or psychological skills training, which deals with topics such as motivation, confidence, arousal control, concentration, mental rehearsal, and life skills; usually addressed through an educational approach. Additionally, psychologists have become involved in a range of clinical issues with athletes and interpersonal issues between members of a team or between coaches and athletes. However, intuition and clinical experience are also drawn upon, especially when there is no document theory of significant research findings to guide invention. From a psychological perspective, athletes are best considered first as the same as non-athletes. Athletes have the same amount of psychological problems as non-athletes, although they do tend to have certain problems (e.g. eating disorders) a little more than the general population, while a slightly lower rate of chronic mental health problems (e.g. schizophrenia).

Physical Health and Fitness: What you need to know?
Physical Health and Fitness: What you need to know? Introduction It is important to remain physically active throughout a persons' lifespan for the purposes of preserving physical function and preventing premature death (Pescatello, 1999). However, Hardman and Morris, (1997) found that participation in physical activity declines, and sedentary behaviour increases with age. Today's lifestyles mean that 70% of adult men and women do not take enough exercise to benefit their health. 2004 figures suggests that only 37% of men and 25% of women participate for the recommended 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 5 times per week (Hardman and Morris, 1997). (Hardman and Morris 1997) Figure 1. The prevalence of physical activity level by age, in men and women in England, 1998. Figure 1 shows that both men and women become less physically active with age; Group 3: accumulated 30 minutes or more at least 5 days per week; Group 2: accumulated 30 minutes or more on 1-4 days per week; Group 1: accumulated any lower level of activity. Sedentary behaviour increases the risk of many types of ill health including coronary heart disease, diabetes, and obesity (Pescatello, 1999). Coronary Heart Disease Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) by itself is the single most common cause of death in the UK, accounting for 22% of premature deaths in men and 13% of premature deaths in women

Nutritional strategies In this assignment I will be talking about different diet plans of three contrasting athletes, from this I will analyse the differences between them with relation to their needs in sport. I will be looking at diets pre - competition, during competition and post competition and comparing all. The second part I will be talking about fluid intake, supplementation, and ergogenic aids within the three contrasting athletes. The first athlete I am going to talk about is an endurance runner. Definition of an endurance runner would be to withstand stress and hardship. Endurance running is seen to be classed as events such as marathon running, 3000m are a few. Athletes to get the most out of energy from foods should fuel their bodies 2 -3 hours before a training session or competing. Eating solid food before an endurance event doesn't sit well in an athlete's stomach therefore an athlete should eat a small meal 4 -5 hours before event, then eat a small snack a few hours before, for that energy late on. Foods like breads, cereals, pasta, rice, fruits and vegetables, should be consumed 4- 5 hours before a workout so that it doesn't sit in their stomach the reason for this is, that most of those foods are carbohydrates, which therefore means that they are high in glycogen. Glycogen as stated in previous assignments produces glucose when the cells need it for
Nutritional analysis case study
Abstract Subject - the subject was a 21-year-old male student from the University of Teesside. The subject was 1.78m, weighed 65.3kg and had a BMI of 20.52. The subject has a moderate / vigorous lifestyle. Methodology - A case study investigation whereby the subject was required to complete a 7-day food dairy, which was assessed using COMP-EAT software. Dietary modifications were put in place before reviewing the post intervention food dairy. Results - the post intervention results show that carbohydrate amounts improved by 121g, proteins by 20.1g and fats by 7.8g. Fluid (water) intake also increased as well as an 18% drop in alcohol energy levels. Conclusion - although the client's nutritional status increased, there is still need for improvement to meet the demands of an active lifestyle. Introduction Nutrition is a science that examines the relationship between diet and health (Morris at al, 2004). Deficiencies, excesses and imbalances in diet can produce negative impacts on health, which may lead to disease (CV, metabolic or musculoskeletal). Physical inactivity is also an influential factor to many diseases in later life, just like poor nutrition; therefore improvements in both areas can have positive effects in lifestyle and health. There are seven main classes of nutrients that the body needs: carbohydrates, protein, fats, vitamins, minerals, fibre and water
