In this report I will evaluate why and how biophysical principles can be applied for an eight-week training programme for Turbo Touch. The first part of my report will include a definition and explanation of three methods of training that I applied in my training programme, including the biophysical principles applied. I will explain why I used these methods of training. The second part of my report will focus on the strengths and weaknesses of the training programme and I will explain what modifications I would make to the training programme in the future, including what principles I would change. In preparation for a Turbo Touch Competition, I had to complete an eight-week training programme which I implemented for a period of two weeks. The three methods of training I applied in my Turbo Touch training programme include (a) circuit, (b) interval and (c) continuous. Circuit training is a form of high intensity resistance training that targets strength building and muscular endurance. I applied this method of training as Turbo Touch requires strength and endurance and it was important that my programme was targeting the right muscles that would enhance my performance. Of particular relevance was that circuit training targets arm, core and legs muscles which are the key groups of muscles which are needed when playing Turbo Touch. The training programme required me to train once a week for 50 minutes and I trained at nine different circuit stations, all focusing on my
The relationship between the principles of training and physiological adaptations has a significant impact on performance. Many factors need to be addressed in a training program to make it a successful one for a particular athlete and thus improve their performance.
For this past week, I was an intern for Week 7 of the Harvard Medical School MEDscience Summer Program which offers a total of nine sessions of a week-long summer medical intensives for high school students. 13 students passionate about science, medicine, and healthcare come together from all over the country and even Canada to take advantage of the unique opportunities MEDscience offers. In general, there are very few medical programs in the country gear towards high school students whether it be because of age and education level, laws and hospital policy, or costs. Most of the medicine-related summer programs you can find for high school students are those in which you’d sit in a classroom all day and learn what you could have learned
This report focusses on the 3 energy systems of fitness before relating them to touch football. Touch football is a simple but fast paced game, where the main objective is for one team to score more tries then their opponent. Scoring a tri is achieved by placing the ball in the opponents ‘tri zone’. Played on a 70m long by 50m wide field over a 45-minute time period, the game consists on two 20 minutes blocks of play with a five-minute half time break.
In sport, an understanding of biomechanical principles allows athletes and coaches to breakdown movement and learn the correct way to execute a skill (Singh Yadav, 2016, P 669-670).
This term in PE we have been focusing on energy systems and exercise physiology principles in Touch Football. In touch there are three positions: middle, link and wing. My fitness results, when compared to an Australian Touch Association player (ATA player), are only satisfactory. My speed and cardiovascular endurance were within range of ATA players but my agility was not, therefore, I have chosen wing as my best-suited position as the key fitness components for this position are speed, agility, power and cardiovascular endurance. In order for me to improve in my least acquired skill, agility, I must incorporate agility based skill exercises into my Dingo Flats training program. The purpose of this presentation is to present and evaluate the
In our bodies we need energy so that we could do things that are possible such as; move our muscles, talk and all the other things that we do. Without energy all humans would be useless not being able to do anything. Energy is needed to extract the oxygen from the areas in our bodies and diffuse it into our bloodstream. As warm blooded we can only digest food and function if our bodies are at a certain temperature and have enough energy, and energy is required for this. We need energy to move our muscles which also only operate when they are warm. Coldblooded humans use the energy from the environment as well as from their food. Energy is the capacity to do work in our bodies. That means doing
2. This experiment is not able to support Matthew's hypothesis. Suggest specific improvements that will allow the experiment to more effectively test the given hypothesis. Explain why these changes are improvements.
For this term’s HPE unit, we have learnt about core physiological principles as well as fitness and training concepts, and how this would relate to touch football. This knowledge was then utilised to design, evaluate and modify an individual one week training program (microcycle) to enhance performance in touch football. The task of this assessment is to analyse the training program upon completion, by evaluating its strengths and weaknesses and finally modifying this ‘microcycle’ to rectify any weaknesses that may have be identified.
• Mutations in the ALDOB gene reduce the function of the enzyme, impairing the ability to metabolize fructose.
There are eight physiological adaptations that a touch football player would experience in response to training; these include a change in stroke volume, heart rate, cardiac output, oxygen uptake, lung capacity, hemoglobin levels, muscle hypertrophy and the effect on slow- and fast-twitch muscle fibers.
Conclusions about the effectiveness of each training method by referring to its strength and/or limitations

"Long term" muscular endurance is suitable for continuous, steady-state events such as the marathon, triathlon and rowing that last beyond 2 minutes. Light loads are used so that exercises can be sustained for a prolonged period. Rest periods are kept to a minimum and ideally the athlete should progress so that the only rest between exercises is the time it takes to move between equipment.
These physical behaviours are learned through repetitive practice. A learner’s ability to perform these skills is based on precision, speed, distance, and technique. Learners’ general objectives would be to writes smoothly and legibly; accurately reproduces a picture, operates a computer skilfully,
