1. S.L.O- to identify and describe a Circuit training session. Success criteria: 1.Be able to describe what a circuit training program consist of? 2.Be able to apply the principles and components of fitness.

2.  A number of activities arranged to avoid exercising the same muscle groups one after the other

3. What can it improve;  Muscular endurance  Muscular strength  Cardiovascular fitness  Circulation & respiration  Skill

4. Anywhere with space ! C ircuits can be set up to use very little equipment indoors Circuits can be fixed outdoors. or in a high tech environment

5. CIRCUIT TRAINING - sample circuits WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CIRCUIT?

6. CIRCUIT TRAINING  EASY TO PLAN AND RECORD  ADAPTABLE FOR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS  ADAPTABLE FOR SPECIFICITY  EASY TO SHOW PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD  TAKES TIME TO SET UP & PUT AWAY  NOT EVERYONE ENJOYS IT MOTIVATION RIVALRY LACK OF MOTIVATION DIFFERENT ABILITY OVER EXERTION MOTIVATION PACE INTEREST MAY BE TOO SLOW OR FAST TOO LOUD TO HEAR INSTRUCTIONS

7. AGILITY LADDER SKI JUMPS SHUTTLE RUN HOOP STEPS MINI HURDLES SKIPPING WHAT ASPECT OF FITNESS WOULD THIS CIRCUIT IMPROVE?? AGILITY - and cardio

8. CARDIO VASCULAR ACTIVITIES CORE LEGS ARMS CORE LEGS ARMS A STAR CIRCUIT IS A METHOD OF GENERAL FITNESS TRAINING

9. Going round more often increases intensity while allowing muscle groups time to recover. 1. MORE CIRCUITS If space permits, adding a station each session can be challenging 2. MORE STATIONS Add 10 seconds or 10 repetitions - good for increasing muscular strength 3. MORE TIME / MORE REPETITIONS Either less rest between stations or less rest between circuits or both! 4. LESS REST How can you make an exercise more difficult? 5. ADAPT THE EXERCISE

10. What other principles of training could we apply? How would you do this? Frequency Intensity Duration Specificity

11. CARDIO VASCULAR ACTIVITIES Waist twists Dorsal raises CAN YOU COMPLETE THIS STAR CIRCUIT?
