What you’ll learn
I can design a personalised training programme to meet my individual needs and goals.
Key learning points
- Move: moving with enough intensity to overload the body is essential for improving fitness.
- Think: choosing a drill that matches your goal helps target the right areas for improvement.
- Feel: pushing the body to overload can feel rewarding when it’s understood that it will improve fitness.
- Connect: working with others can keep you motivated and support each other’s progress.
Words to know
- overload
- making the body work harder than it is used to so it can improve
- intensity
- how hard the body is working during exercise
- motivation
- the drive to keep working hard towards your goal
Common mistakes
Pupils may believe that improving at a physical activity requires them to perform the event in full repeatedly.
Help pupils to understand that training drills which overload the body are much more effective when training to achieve a goal, rather than simply repeating the full performance.
For parents, carers and teachers
- By achieving overload, some pupils may have rarely been more physically challenged. Celebrate that they are experiencing feelings which accompany overload and let them know that it shouldn't be something to avoid - its important to put a positive spin on it to encourage more of it.
