Study Guides
This pupil-friendly study guide includes a unit summary, clear notes, common mistakes, and quick questions with answers.
Unit Summary
This unit will describe and enable pupils to experience different types of training before analysing which ones are most suited to different types of sporting performers.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to train using different methods of training including circuit training, weight training, plyometric training and HIIT.
Key Notes
- Circuit training can be adapted to suit different components of fitness.
- Weight training can be done with kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells or resistance machines.
- Plyometric training is used to develop power.
- HIIT is high intenisty interval training.
Vocabulary To Learn
- circuit training: a series of exercise stations where each station focuses on a different muscle group or component of fitness, performed in sequence
- weight training: the use of weights/resistance to cause adaptation of the muscles
- plyometric training: high intensity exercise involving explosive movements
- HIIT: high intensity interval training that alternates between high intensity and periods of recovery
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- That rest is not incorporated into these types of training.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Circuit training can be adapted to suit different components of fitness. Weight training can be done with kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells or resistance machines.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'circuit training'
a series of exercise stations where each station focuses on a different muscle group or component of fitness, performed in sequence.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: That rest is not incorporated into these types of training. Correction: All of these can be performed as a type of interval training and rest after each exercise/session is important to avoid the body getting injured.
