What you’ll learn
I can develop my cardiovascular system through endurance activities and continuous training.
Key learning points
- Move: during continuous training, pace is steady with a relaxed and rhythmical arm swing in time with legs.
- Think: continuous training improves cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance.
- Feel: training can result in being comfortable working at an elevated breathing/heart rate, with mild leg discomfort.
- Connect: congratulating others on their performance, regardless of how fast they were, builds mutual respect.
Words to know
- cardiovascular system
- made up of the heart, blood vessels and the blood, transporting oxygen to the body and removes carbon dioxide
- endurance
- the ability to sustain exercise for an extended period of time without fatigue
- continuous training
- training at a low/moderate steady rate without a break for a longer period of time (at least 20 minutes)
Common mistakes
Some pupils approach many fitness tasks as a race/competition and often give up as opposed to slowing down and maintaining movement until the end.
Reassure that a finishing position is irrelevant and instead focus on personal performance and improvement to their own fitness.
For parents, carers and teachers
- For learning cycle one 'fitness scavenger hunt', where possible, chose locations around the school that are spread over distance to emphasise continuous training and the need to keep moving.
