Application of Training Principles • 5. Self-assessment (how will you know if you’re getting better) Kelly C. Melvin

  13. Step 1 - Evaluation • Assess your level of physical fitness in each component and decide where you need to make improvements. Kelly C. Melvin

  14. Step 2 - Setting Goals • Decide what you want to improve the most! • Create a 6 week goal. Kelly C. Melvin

  15. Examples of a six week goal • I will improve my cardiovascular fitness by improving my pacer test score from 25 to 35. • I want to be able to max out 200 on the bench press. • I want to decrease my body fat % by increasing my LBM and decreasing my fat weight. • I want to gain 15 pounds of LBM. • I want to be able to do the splits. Kelly C. Melvin

  16. Step 3 - Selection of Activities • Select activities that WILL improve the intended areas of fitness. PRINCIPLE OF SPECIFITY Kelly C. Melvin

  17. Step 4 - Applying the training principles CREATE A PLAN OF ACTION • Create a plan and follow the proper guidelines in for each component of fitness in regards to frequency, intensity, and time? (Overload) • Increase your frequency, intensity, or time as your body becomes used to the activity/exercise (every other day/week/etc.)? (Progression) • Have you selected appropriate activities? (Specificity) Kelly C. Melvin

  18. Step 5 - Self-Assessment • Make sure to include a pre-test to see where you are now • Make sure to include a post-test to see the progress you’ve made • Make sure to include at least one test between the pre-test and post-test to see if you’re improving and/or to see if you need to change your goals. Kelly C. Melvin

  19. Putting It All Together – Creating A Fitness Plan • Take the information you’ve gathered from the five steps for creating a fitness plan and create a six-week fitness plan. • Once you are sure you’ve chosen the right activities (specificity), make sure you (progress) throughout the 6 weeks and that you follow the guidelines of frequency, intensity, and time (overload). Kelly C. Melvin

  20. Finished product – grading rubric • 10 pts - Cover sheet with name, date, and class period. • 10 pts - Pre-test score(s) in the area you want to improve. • 30 pts – Typed/Written fitness project proposal with 5 steps to creating a fitness plan • 50 pts - 6 week fitness plan (typed or written) • 5 pts EXTRA CREDIT – Parent signature • 5 pts EXTRA CREDIT – if turned in early Kelly C.
