This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will develop pupils' ability to design and carry out a training programme with a focus on physical fitness and commitment to exercise that is enjoyable and tailored. Pupils will also learn about nutrition to help support them in living a healthy and active life beyond school.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to develop your cardiovascular system through endurance activities and continuous training.
Key Notes
- Move: during continuous training, pace is steady with a relaxed and rhythmical arm swing in time with legs.
- Think: continuous training improves cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.
- Feel: training can result in being comfortable working at an elevated breathing/heart rate, with mild leg discomfort.
- Connect: congratulating others on their performance, regardless of how fast they were, builds mutual respect.
Vocabulary To Learn
- cardiovascular system: made up of the heart, blood vessels and the blood, transporting oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide
- endurance: the ability to sustain exercise for an extended period of time without fatigue
- continuous training: training at a low/moderate steady rate without a break for a longer period of time (at least 20 minutes)
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Some pupils approach many fitness tasks as a race/competition and often give up as opposed to slowing down and maintaining movement until the end.
