Types of fitness:

PhysicalSkill-relatedMental

Discuss and identify the different aspects of physical, skill and mental fitness.

Choose 2 aspects of fitness from each type and explain why it is important in hockey?

Example

CRE is important for an effective performance in hockey as it will allow me to perform with a high skill level for the 70 minute duration of the game. This means that towards the end of the game I will still be able to pass, shoot and dribble to good effect.

Methods of gathering information

Physical fitness: Standardised tests

Why are standardised tests appropriate?

What tests have you used?

What aspects of fitness did they test?

Match analysis schedules

What information does it provide?

Why is it appropriate?

Higher Physical Education- Preparation of the body

Hockey

Plan answers to the following questions relating to the what you have just revised.

Q1: Choose an activity and two aspects of physical fitness that are important in the activity. Explain why these aspects of fitness are important for effective performance.

(6)

Q2. With reference to two of the fitness demands you identified in part (a) describe, briefly, the methods you used to assess your fitness.

(4)

Now that you have investigated your performance, you need to analyse your results and identify your strengths and development needs

How do you analyse your results?

After this process you them develop your needs using a programme of work.

Methods of Training

The methods we will use to improve our weaknesses of Speed and Cardio-Respiratory Endurance are:

•Continuous training•Fartlek training•Interval training

What methods are used for CRE & SPEED?

For each method of training you must know the following information:

1.Which aspect of fitness it improves2.Why it is appropriate for you to use the

method / what are the merits?3.How the method is carried out4.How the method is set-up5.How long you need to use the method for to

improve.

Plan answers to each of the following questions.

1. Choose two different methods of training that you have used (or have considered using) to develop one of the types of fitness discussed in part (a) (mental, physical or skill related)

Discuss the merits that each method offers for the development of your performance in your chosen activity. (5)

Programme of Work

In order to improve fitness you must train over a pro-longed period of time.

What factors must you take into account when planning your training session?

Circumstances for training

In the activity (conditioning)Out with the activityA combination of both

We complete training using a combination of both fitness and skilled based work.

Principles of training

In order to plan our training we MUST take into account three principles:

•SPECIFICITY •PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD•REVERSIBILITY

Specificity

What should we ensure training is specific to?

Reversibility

How can we ensure the effects of our training are maintained?

Training Zone

How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone?

What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly?

Progressive Overload includes:

•Frequency

•Duration

•Intensity

•Adaptation

•Rest and recovery

•Avoiding over training

•Use pages 21-22 of your course notes to gain definitions of each.

Training Zone

What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly?

Training programme

When you develop a training programme it must suit your individual needs and improve your fitness levels.

Must include:•Time scales•Intensity you will be working at•Appropriate training•Evidence of overload at specific times

Phases of Training

•PREPARATION

•COMPETITION

•TRANSITION

MACRO CYCLE

LONG TERM TRAINING

PROGRAMME OVER A YEAR

Which phase of the training year do you think we focus on?

Preparation Phase

•Pre-Season•Focus on fitness work•Skills developed through practices•Conditioned games

Meso Cycle = Training over 4- 8 weeks

Competition Phase

•Work to MAINTAIN fitness and skill level gained in•Preparation phase•Focus on particular key games•Tapering for performance•Rest and recovery after demands of

Meso cycle – training over 4-8 weeks

Training Zone

How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone?

What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly?

Transition Phase

•Season is finished•Period of active rest•Break from competitive activity•General fitness maintained

Meso cycle – Training over 4-8 weeks

Training Zone

How could you make sure you stayed within the training zone?

What would you expect to see over a period of time if you trained regularly?

Micro Cycle = One weeks training

Short term goals and targets

PHASES OF TRAINING

Which phase of training would our programme of work take place in?

Monitoring training

WHY?

HOW?•Re-testing•It is important that we re-test using the same protocol as the initial tests
