To complete this task you will analyse your own level of fitness in order to plan, implement and record a personal training programme, and evaluate your performance against targets.
PASS - Candidates make a simple analysis of their own level of fitness and plan and undertake a basic personal training programme demonstrating knowledge of FITT. They simply evaluate performance against targets.
MERIT - Candidates make a clear analysis of their own level of fitness and plan and undertake a structured personal training programme demonstrating a sound understanding of FITT. They provide a detailed evaluation of performance against targets.
DISTINCTION - Candidates make a detailed analysis of their own level of fitness and plan and undertake a structured and relevant personal training programme demonstrating a thorough understanding of FITT. They provide a comprehensive evaluation of performance against targets.
AO4a - FITT Principle
You will produce a short blog outlining the basic principles of Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type and how these are incorporated into your training program.
AO4b - What is Circuit Training
On the template provided you will complete a series of questions about Circuit Training. This will enable you to have solid bass line knowledge regarding this type of training in order for you to design your own circuit plans. You will look at how you carry out the sessions, the benefits of the training and the type of athletes that may want to use it.
AO4c - Warm Up Procedures
You will need to create a blog explaining the basic principles of a warm-up, the different phases of a warm up such as aerobic activity, stretching and preparation for competition/training and why we complete them. These phases will then be made individual to your own session and you will need to explain the content of each phase.
AO4d and AO4e - Circuit Plan and Circuit Station Cards
AO4d will be your personal plan of a circuit training sessions where mark down exactly which exercises will be completed at each station. You will also add in other details such as rest times, exercise times and any how many circuitsa re to be completed. AO4e is then a break down of each exercise station where you will describe the purpose, technique and safety considerations of each station on an individual card.
Links have been provided with templates.
AO4f - Aims and Objectives
Before the practical element you will record the goals which you intend to reach before we start. These will be set out in your blog along with how your intend to reach these goals and how you will know if you have achieved them. The link below gives a template you can use.
AO4g and AO4h - Witness Statement and Circuit Training Record Card
During your practical training sessions I will be marking you on standards such as kit, effort, attitude, use of FITT and health and safety measures. You will obtain a witness statement from me with an overall grade of how you have performed over the sessions. Before and after each session you will be recording training datasuch as Heart Rate before and after training, how you felt during training and 24 hours after and your rate of percieved exertion throughout the session. All this data will then be entered into your blog making up your Circuit Training Record Card.
