Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Analyse fitness and skill strengths and weaknesses in chosen activity.

Keywords

  • PEP - a personal exercise programme is a training programme aimed at improving fitness

  • Fitness - the ability to meet the demands of the environment

  • Principles of training - guidelines that help ensure training is effective and results in improved performance

  • Training methods - the type of training done to achieve a specific goal (e.g. circuit training)

Common misconception

Once planned, I just need to take part in the training without writing anything down.

It is useful to keep up to date training logs for each session to help monitor progress (these are not included in the word count) as well as doing mid PEP fitness testing to check progress and adapt the planned training programme where needed.
