Fitness and Training
I unfortunately injured myself, before starting this piece of
coursework. I produced fluid on my hip and was on crutches for one and
a half months. I was diagnosed with sever Hyper Mobility Syndrome and
I was advised by the specialist to refrain from high impact
activities, such as running.
I have therefore, been unable to complete this programme myself.
However, I have planned it as if I was actually participating in it.
Moreover, when it comes to evaluating, I have selected a student to
analyse her programme.
My chosen event for my training programme is the 200m. I think I have
an above average fitness level, my physical activity consists of 20
hours of swimming, a week. I am also on a special athlete’s diet,
eating a lot of carbohydrates like bread and pasta, I am also cutting
down on chocolate, crisps and anything else fatty. Equally as
important, I try to consume at least 2 litres of fluid a day to keep
my water levels high and to make sure I don’t dehydrate.
In the past I have had many injuries and health problems. At present I
am recovering from a hip injury, so I will need to be very careful to
ensure I do not injure it again, whilst participating in the training
programme. Moreover, I’m extremely double jointed, which means I can
over extend my joints, therefore I can extend my joints further than
the average person. This means I need to be extra careful because if I
over extend them, I can cause serious problems around my joints.
My target, which I wish to achieve over the course of the next 5
sessions, is to improve my reaction time, my speed, and my fitness. I
will do this by using skills and doing interval training.
My specific targets at the end of my training programme is to run the
200 metres in 30 seconds, my time at the moment is 31 seconds. My
specific targets for the fitness tests are you sprint 30m in 5.
