Fitness Program
S.P.O.R these four letters mean:
· S= Specification. Is what I do specific to the sport I choose
· P= Progression. Will I progress if I do something or will I fail to
progress.
· O= Overload. To be able to achieve your highest level of fitness
possible every now and again you must overload you body.
· R= Reversibility. This is what will come when you stop training your
body goes back to what it started with.
If I aim very high I probably won't achieve what I wanted, all I
wanted to do was to improve a little bit.
Relevance of the programme to the current activity level.
I regularly play football so I am used to the stresses and strains of
it. I train on a Saturday morning so a weekly training programme
should be no problem. As long as I don't overload on every session,
don't incur any injures or go down with illness, I should be fine.
Testing of prior fitness.
At the start of the six-week training programme everybody took part in
fitness tests these were to test our abilities e.g. Agility, Balance,
Co-ordination and Stamina.

6 Week Training Program For my GSCE Coursework I decided to perform a circuit-training programme for the sport of tennis. This durated for six weeks. I am already an experienced tennis player so this is to be taken into consideration with training procedures and results.

I have many goals as an Athletic Training Student, and continuing my education is the biggest goal in order to be successful in my career and future goals. Eventually, I will earn a doctorate and go on to work at a professional level with a major league soccer team. I also aim to increase the knowledge and awareness of mental health within the field of athletic training.

To achieve a degree in Athletic Training, there are many tasks and skills to be learned. The Education Council under the National Athletic Training Association put together an education program filled with a set of guidelines of what has to be taught to graduate with a degree in Athletic Training. Before you can learn and understand Athletic Training, you must know the Anatomy and Physiology of the human body. This includes bones, muscles, levels of organization, tissue levels, systems of the body, skeletal structure, articulations, integrative functions, sensory function, blood, and embryology (Martini, 2001). Besides Anatomy and Physiology, the methods of taping is also extremely critical to this career. Before you can understand what each taping techniques are used for, you must also know about sports injuries. Athletic Training is all about the prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and evaluation of athletic injuries. Another skill that must be learned in the Athletic Training Education Program is how to provide immediate emergency care. That includes everything from background information to actually being able to save an athlete’s or any one else’s life. You must be aware of legal considerations, how and when to approach a victim, the human body systems, examining the victim, basic life support, bleeding and shock, identifying wounds, sudden illnesses, injuries, and how to care for them; also you must be aware of cold and heat related injuries, and how to rescue and move victims (Thygerson, 2001). Other information to be learned includes nutrition, health, and professional development. There are several other topics of Athletic Training; however, there are just to many to s...
In order for me to reach my targets I am going to do 2 sessions a week
I knew I needed to get back in school to make any advancements as well as earn more money at retirement, but wasn’t sure what direction I wanted to go in; should I continue in the education field or athletic training. While walking around at the National Athletic Trainers’ Association annual convention in the exhibitors’ expo, I discovered the Indiana Wesleyan booth. The athletic training program seemed interesting and fit into my hectic schedule with it being only one year. Therefore, as soon as I got home, I immediately checked the Georgia Professional Standards Commission website to see if IWU was on the approved programs for a teaching certificate upgrade. Unfortunately, it was not on the approved list, however a proposal could be sent to the commission to review the program. It wasn’t economically feasible for me to spend the money to receive a master’s degree with no return on my investment if the program wasn’t added. For almost a year, I checked the Professional Standards Commission website in hopes the program’s approval. You cannot imagine the excitement I experienced when I checked the website and saw Indiana Wesleyan University’s athletic training degree listed. Everyone I ran into that day knew the program was added. I
Cancer has become a fast emerging enormous public health issue within the United States as well as other developed countries (Jemal et al. 2007). It has been stated that among men and women under the age of 85, cancer is the leading cause of death (Jemal et al. 2007). To date, approximately 68% of Americans diagnosed with cancer are currently living longer than five years. The reason Americans diagnosed with cancer are currently living longer pertains to maintaining a healthy weight, diet and a physically active lifestyle; therefore, Americans are learning to prioritize and focus on a healthy weight, diet and exercise for survival (Rock et al. 2012). In maintaining one’s health the cancer patient can prevent recurrence (Rock et al. 2012). It has been projected that exercise is correlated with a decrease in mortality and cancer recurrences, as well as an improvement in quality of life (QOL) in cancer patients (Haas 2012). Studies have shown that by doing more than nine (9) metabolic equivalent task (MET) hours per week of physical activity (e.g. slow walking pace for 4.5 hours/week), the patient will experience an overall improved health (Dhillon 2012). Several reviews have suggested that exercise does indeed improve the QOL, improve functional capacity (FC) and health outcomes in various cancer patient groups. The improvements have been noticed to occur both during and after adjuvant therapies; including improvements in aerobic fitness, fatigue, depression, muscular strength, anxiety, body image, functional ability, and overall QOL (Karvinen 2007). According to the American Cancer Society’s and Public Health’s guidelines, individuals should do 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity activity (Kushi 2012). One study tested t...

...t of the condition of the mankind, it involves learning, and the outcome is discovering the yet unknown. And it seems that progress is the highest when freedom is present, in other words we can not get the most out of ourselves if we have constraints. So by the definition of progress we are unable to say what good is it going to make us, but it will do something generally valuable.
