Unit Summary
This unit explores correct bodyweight techniques and training for strength, power, endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination. Pupils learn to adapt exercises, stay safe and understand the physical, mental and social benefits of activity.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to complete a sustained, continuous training session at a steady-state, sub-maximal level to develop cardiovascular endurance.
Key Notes
- Move: aerobic exercise requires low intensity movement for a sustained amount of time.
- Think: regular aerobic exercise is often used to improve cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
- Feel: a steady pace is best when doing aerobic exercise to avoid fatigue too early in the session.
- Connect: using others for encouragement can help maintain motivation.
Vocabulary To Learn
- aerobic: exercise that uses oxygen to produce energy, done at a steady pace over time
- sub-maximal: working below your highest effort, at a steady and manageable level
- motivation: the encouragement or support from others that helps you stay focused and complete a task
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- A racing heart and feeling of breathlessness means you need to slow down.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: aerobic exercise requires low intensity movement for a sustained amount of time. Think: regular aerobic exercise is often used to improve cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'aerobic'
exercise that uses oxygen to produce energy, done at a steady pace over time.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: A racing heart and feeling of breathlessness means you need to slow down. Correction: You need to build up gradually and pace yourself at the start of a run, but feeling out of breath and a racing heart rate is normal during sub-maximal exercise.
