Healthy Bodies Central idea: our bodies are healthy when our physical, emotional and spiritual needs are met.
Your task: develop a 2 week training program for the sport of your choice.
The F. I. T. T Principle Frequency: How often will you exercise? eg. 3 -4 times per week Intensity: How hard will you train? eg. low, moderate or high Type: What type of activities will you participate in? eg. swimming, running Time: How long will you train for each session? eg. 30 minutes
National PA Guidelines Physical Activity Recommendations for 5 -12 year olds A combination of moderate and vigorous activities for at least 60 minutes a day is recommended. Examples of moderate activities are a brisk walk, a bike ride or any sort of active play. More vigorous activities will make kids “huff and puff” and include organized sports such as football and netball, as well as activities such as ballet, running and swimming laps. Most importantly, kids need the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities that are fun and suit their interests, skills and abilities. Variety will also offer a range of health benefits, experiences and challenges. Children shouldn't spend more than two hours a day using electronic media for entertainment (eg computer games, TV, internet), particularly during daylight hours.
Training Principles Specificity Training needs to be relevant to the sport we are training for eg. Long distance running for a marathon event. Overload Increasing our training load eg. Distance, time, repetitions or weight. Recovery Muscles and energy stores need time to recover and replenish following exercise eg. 1 rest day each week
