Cycle of Analysis INVESTIGATE ANALYSE REVIEW DEVELOP

INVESTIGATE Why do we gather information? It provides objective, accurate and reliable information about the performer in relation to the specific demands of the activity Identifies individual strengths and weaknesses Provides a clear focus for planning a programme to improve your weakness Provides a baseline or starting point Allows you to monitor your development and compare scores to previous tests.

Physical (Fitness) Factor - CRE • Cardio-Respiratory Endurance – The ability for the heart and lungs to provide oxygen to the working muscles for a long period of time. – Oxygen is a fuel for the muscles to generate energy to move to perform skills/movements.

Physical (Fitness) Factor - CRE In Basketball/Dance/Netball/etc I need high levels of CRE. It allows me to: • Maintain a high level of skill throughout the game/performance • Sustain higher levels of concentration • Recover quicker from attacking runs and tracking back in defence • Make more effective decisions

Gathering Data on CRE We use Standardised Tests to gather data outwith the activity! • • 12 min Cooper Test (CRE): Used 400 m track and placed cones out every 100 m Teacher shouted ‘go’ and started the stopwatch I ran continuously round the track for 12 min I had to pace myself and try not to burn out early. As I jogged a partner measured how far I travelled and gave me and overall score at the end of 12 min Accurate and reliable and can be compared to later test Can compare to national average

Another method to Test CRE… 1 st Method- Bleep Test for CRE (Physical Fitness) • Set up cones 20 m apart • Ran continuously in time with the beeps on cd player • As I progressed up levels I had to run faster as the beeps got faster • I didn’t stop until I missed the beep twice and recorded the level that I reached • This provides objective, reliable and accurate information • Able to compare this to national average • Able to redo at a later date and compare to check for progress

Why use Standardised Fitness Tests? • We use standardised fitness tests because they provide data that is; – Valid – Reliable

Valid/Reliable & Appropriate Data Valid/Reliable is: • Easily managed • Consistent - Reliability • Accurate - Validity • Easy to read and interpret/understand • Can be compared to National Average • Referred to and compared to previous results
