1. a) Physical, skill related and mental fitness are all required for successful performance. With reference to your chosen activity, explain why one aspect of each of these types of fitness is important. Identify Key words… One aspect of each of these types – Physical, Skill Related and Mental CONTENT 1. Introduction – Explain that football is fast fluctuating game, each position has different requirements. 2. Name the position you play. Explain what your main responsibilities are 3. Explain that ____________ is main aspect of physical fitness. 4. Define what ____________ is. 5. Give performance related examples of why you need_____________. 6. Explain that AGILITY is main aspect of skill related fitness. 7. Define what AGILITY is. 8. Give performance related examples of why you need agility. 9. Explain that ____________ is main aspect of mental fitness. 10. Define what ____________ is. 11. Give performance related examples of why you need_____________.

2. Physical fitness example  As a central midfield player having a high level of CRE is very important for effective performance.  CRE is concerned with the efficiency of the heart and lungs. If I have good CRE then I can ensure a sufficient supply of oxygen reaches the working muscles over the entire 90 minute game.  This is particularly important to my role as a central midfield player because I am expected to cover large areas of the pitch. It is my responsibility to track opponents back into defence in addition to having the energy to get up the pitch and support the attack when we win the ball back. If my CRE is better than my opponents then towards the end of the game I will be able to get away from them more easily making me an unmarked option in attack.

3. C) Describe, in detail the content of a training programme where you focused on the aspect of fitness identified in Part (b) to develop your performance. Identify Key words… Content of a training Programme CONTENT  Introduction  Phase of training  Method of training  Target setting linked to training  Principles of training  Example of Week 1&2 of training session  How you applied Progressive Overload – Describe Weeks 3&4  Two weeks from Competition Phase of Season, so training very game like – Describe Weeks 5&6

4. d) Why is it important to monitor and review your programme of work. Identify Key words… Why important - Monitor and Review – Programme of work CONTENT  Introduction  How you monitored your performance  Why it was important to monitor and review  Specificity – set work level  Progression – how much to overload by / when to overload  Record of work  Motivation

5. Why important to monitor and review programme  It let me check to see if my training method was appropriate and set at the correct level  Would tell me if my intensity levels were set correctly  I was able to check my current level against my last set of results to track my progression  With my second set of test results… this shows that the overload I have undertaken in my training programme has worked and as the weeks progress we are improving my CRE  To ensure my overload was progressive and set on my current level, I used the data from my interim testing to guide the levels/degree of overload in my programme in the coming weeks  This ensured I was progressing smoothly as training was based on my current level of ability and attainment. Ensuring the principal of specificity was maintained  I was able to get internal feedback by how I felt during my pre season training programme and pre season games.  To keep track of both the work I completed and how I intrinsically felt I keep a training diary  This at times allowed me to see over the micro cycle of a week how I felt and tracked my progression towards the next part of the training year- the start of the session  I felt progressively overloading my programme allowed me to monitor the small developments in my fitness as I worked towards my overall goal – motivating
