4-Week Training Program

4-Week Training Program

I'm 15 yrs old, my height is 6'0", and my

weight is 10st 3lbs. I have been asked to design a training program

for my PE coursework. I will take into consideration training

principles, my current level of fitness etc.

I would describe myself as a fairly healthy person, and fairly fit

too. I perform considerably well at all sports and my endurance level

in particular is of a good standard. I have only one injury problem.

This prevents me from using my back muscles such as the trapezius to

their full potential. In a typical week I tend to get around 10 hours

of physical activity at least. This involves me playing sports such as

basketball and football, both of which require a great deal of

stamina. Over the course of this program I aim to improve my fitness

levels, and certain distances or times of different events that will

help me with my chosen sport, which is basketball. I am hoping to

improve the skill level of my game which will enable me to become a

better player.

There are certain hazards in the school gym where I will be carrying

out my fitness program. However none that are unavoidable with a

little planning. Since there is a large amount of people using a

relatively small amount of space, other people's safety is a major

factor. All of us are doing exercises which will help us with

basketball which means the exercises are similar. this means that the

same station will be used by different people. To avoid the problem of

too many people being on the same station at the same time I will

attempt to co-operate with my colleagues in order carry out all the

exercises within the 1 hour time limit that I have once a week.

Since there a lot of exercises which require the same muscle groups to

be used, I will have a certain order which will help me balance out

the amount of time I use each muscle without resting it.
