The Development Plan Slide 1

PLANNING & RESEARCH This section is worth 20

marks. It needs to identify the aspects that have a direct effect on your sporting performance remember this could be physiological or psychological

Slide 2

What type of Developmental Plan?

Slide 3

Performance Analysis Unit 2 What performance role and sports activity

you are going to be assessed on year 2

Your strengths and weaknesses – physiological v. technical

Components – of the proposed Plan

K & U of practices and training

Slide 4

Topics from last year that will help you… Principles of training

Analysis – use it

Fitness tests

Periodisation

Technical

Slide 5

Slide 6

The plan should include…

• Your aims• Analysis of performance – linked from Unit

2• Use of recognised methodologies (SCAT/

NCF)• The correct use of sports science• Correct use of technical support• Referenced and extensive bibliography!!

Detailed information on the demands of your sport e.g….. Cross country running – developing strength and endurance The high aerobic demands of cross-country running mean that you will

have to include lots of steady running to develop a sound aerobic base, improve cardiac output, assist capillarisation (the oxygen carrying capacity of tiny blood vessels in the cardiovascular system) and train the body to convert chemical energy in the form of stored glycogen in the muscles and liver into the mechanical energy which stimulates the efficient, rotational movement of the arms and legs around the shoulder and hip axes.

However, aerobic endurance is not just acquired by steady running. It can be developed by running long repetitions at 5K/10K pace with short recoveries. If you run too fast during these aerobic intervals, you defeat the objective of the session by accumulating lactic acid and oxygen debt.

Oxygen debt and lactic acid reduce the contractile efficiency of the muscle groups responsible for motion and eventually result in the athlete slowing down and coming to a stop.

Rest days and easy recovery running to allow the regeneration of mental and physical energy resources as well as consolidating training gains

Details of the programme/ background

Do you know the equipment?

Do you know how to use the equipment safely?

What muscles are you using?

PAR-Q What are your limits? Have you had a gym

induction?

Planning considerations

Time Facilities Training principles Length of programme Motivation Assessment (formative & summative) Attainable goals

Slide 10

How will you design your programme?Look at almost any training schedule and it will

revolve around a seven-day cycle. This is because most athletes and coaches find it convenient to work in weekly blocks.

The planning of training is often done in a cyclical fashion. But it appears there is little reason for this, apart from habit. To cover all aspects of fitness and training in a week, you could find you are putting in either too many sessions, or not allowing sufficient recovery between them. The end result is that you may not perform all the sessions that you would like or need.

Therefore you need to focus your training… what is your aim?

Your programme 12 weeks (14 weeks in total) Week 1-5 fitness session Week 6 retest fitness level Week 7-12 fitness sessions Week 13 retest fitness Week 14 evaluation

You must perform your DP – worth 12 marks

Could be given time in practical lessons

Slide 12

PLANNING & RESEARCH The main questions you need to address in your

plan are: How do the principles of training affect my

suggested programme? What type of training will I need to undertake? How can I measure my progress on the

programme with validity? What frequency, intensity and time do I need to

train for? What facilities and resources do I need to train

effectively?

Slide 13

How to start this section.. Begin by working out the exact element of fitness you

need to work on

This should be followed by some baseline fitness tests so that you have an idea of what level you are at currently. (More, importantly , it will enable you to set some realistic targets - you could also set a target for half way. It is equally important that in terms of testing, again you apply specificity – only conduct tests that link to your chosen fitness component.

Add a brief description of each test, the test protocol and a brief explanation of the results. Remember that most tests only predict your level of fitness. To help with the word count these could be include in the appendix

How to continue this section.. If you are already a member of a sports club or team it is useful to

include discussions with your coach, trainer or teacher. You should also include information about your sports background, for example;

What level you are playing at?

Fitness level and experience of serious training – physiological and technical

Injury, illness – what does the student do?

a PARQ (physical activity readiness questionnaire) possibly including resting heart rate, blood pressure and vital capacity

Slide 15

Research for this section.. Next you will need to do some research on

the type of fitness you want to develop and any specific links to your sport. This is where you start to develop your bibliography. The aim is to produce comprehensive overview notes, which you will then summarise in your final Dev. Plan.

How does your intended programme link to theories of periodisation?

Can you identify micro-, meso and macrocycles within you intended plan?

Simply copying and pasting huge chunks is NOT allowed

Slide 16

Final section for the plan.. Should identify what sessions you are going to undertake.

This includes; The timing The content Corresponding repetitions, sets and cycles - periodisation

You should also identify how you are going to record each of your sessions (diary, record sheets, electronic records. Make this as specific as possible. Leave space to record comments on how you feel both physically and mentally after each session – this will give you more information for your evaluation.)

Slide 17

Final section for the plan..

You should also identify how you are going to record each of your sessions (diary, record sheets, electronic records. Make this as specific as possible. Leave space to record comments on how you feel both physically and mentally after each session – this will give you more information for your evaluation.)

Slide 18

The Top Marks: The candidate:

has been able to devise and research their Development Plan to a proficiently high standard. The planning has established clear aim(s) based on a thorough analysis of their own performance strengths and weaknesses.

The candidate has full taken account of their present performance levels through recognised methodologies. The programme is extensively researched and reflects current literature and trends in sports science, for example the use of heart rate monitoring equipment.

The candidate has been able to offer extensive verbal insight to the formulation of their plan and the finished document contains appropriate references and an extensive bibliography.

Slide 19

To gain top marks… You need to show an understanding of

how to plan a personal exercise programme

Have clear set out aims

Have current fitness levels recorded using recognised tests and/or other relevant information

Slide 20

Exam boards view… The student will be able to discuss

the programme with the teacher/moderator and show an understanding of what they have set out to do

Slide 21

Examiner’s tip… The exam reports from previous years

identify one area that appears to consistently cause concern. This is the selection and devising of workloads and recovery periods that are realistic and manageable, so make sure you choose the right figures.
