Adjusting your programme

Health and wellbeing: HIIT and couch to 5k team challenges to develop fitness

Unit Summary

This unit will develop pupils' understanding of the principles of training through a running programme that stretches them as an individual but also their contribution to a team. Their cardiovascular endurance will improve whilst taking responsibility for their own training.

Lesson Summary

You will learn to use feedback to adapt your running programme to ensure progression.

Key Notes

  • Move: running with an increased distance, yet maintaining a natural and consistent stride with each foot landing.
  • Think: adapting training to meet your needs to ensure progression allows flexibility and makes training more specific.
  • Feel: increasing the distance you run each session may feel tiring on the muscles and cardiovascular system.
  • Connect: working in pairs to provide feedback on progression strategy shows responsibility.

Vocabulary To Learn

  • adaptability: the ability to modify long-term planning to meet any new conditions that arise
  • progression: gradually improving in performance over time
  • feedback: knowing what went well and what could be better to improve performance
