Physical fitness example
As a central midfield player having a high level of CRE
is very important for effective performance.
CRE is concerned with the efficiency of the heart and
lungs. If I have good CRE then I can ensure a
sufficient supply of oxygen reaches the working muscles
over the entire 90 minute game.
This is particularly important to my role as a central
midfield player because I am expected to cover large
areas of the pitch. It is my responsibility to track
opponents back into defence in addition to having the
energy to get up the pitch and support the attack when
we win the ball back. If my CRE is better than my
opponents then towards the end of the game I will be
able to get away from them more easily making me an
unmarked option in attack.
Skill-related fitness
An aspect of skill-related fitness which is
important in my role as central midfielder is agility.
Agility is the ability to move the body quickly and
precisely. It requires both speed and flexibility.
Good agility helps me to quickly change direction
and accelerate into a space. This could make me
available for a pass from my team-mates and could
help create an overload in attack because I have
lost my marker. Being agile also helps me dribble
past opponents as I can change speed and direction
more quickly.
Mental fitness paragraph
In my role as central midfielder in football it is
important that I keep my level of arousal at a
moderate level.
Arousal refers to how motivated you are during
your performance.
If my arousal is too low, maybe due to fatigue or
my mind being elsewhere, then I may not try
hard enough to make the long runs up pitch to
support the attack making my team less likely to
score important goals. In addition being overly
aroused cold result in me being anxious or
stressed. This would be bad because I need to
be calm and composed on the ball to execute my
passing game effectively.
b) Select an aspect of physical fitness. Describe the methods you
used to gather information on this aspect. Explain why the methods

Introduction
Two types of testing… Outwith… Within…
Firstly… Outwith
Describe how you used Time Related Observation Schedule.
Explain why Time Related Observation Schedule was appropriate
Secondly… Within… two standardised tests
Describe the two standardised tests. Explain why each was
appropriate.
HOW and WHY of Time Related Observation Schedule
HOW used TROS
WHY used TROS
90 minute game
Realistic, assessed in game like situation as a
real game is 90 minutes.
Competitive game, opponent similar ability
Accurate, reliable data, true picture of
ability, not to easy or challenging, will be
motivated.
Video recorded
Video allowed accurate completion of TROS.
Football is fast paced with video can
pause and rewind. Don’t miss anything.
Get a true reflection of performance.
TROS
Provided permanent written feedback. Used
to retest. Assess how perform in game
situation. Specifically assessed in
midfield.
Assessed in 5 Minute Interval
Identify exactly when level of performance
drops in game.
Walk, Jog, Mid pace, Sprint
Identify changes in intensity of movement.
Identify how drop in fitness level affects
performance.
Cardio Respiratory Endurance
– 12 Minute Cooper Run
(CONTINUOUS TEST)
– Multi Stage Fitness Test
(MAXIMAL TEST)
Speed Endurance
– 10,25,50m sprint tests
(speed)
– KHS Derived Speed
Endurance Test
WHY use the two Standardised Tests






Knowledge of activity doesn’t influence performance in test.
Unlike actual game no variables that you can’t control.
Specific to aspect of fitness.
Raw quantitative data. Measure and compare scores with
retest data.
Are standardised results, compare with national averages.
Raw scores can be used to set intensity in week 1+2 of
training programme.
C) Describe, in detail the content of a training programme where you
focused on the aspect of fitness identified in Part (b) to develop your
performance.
Identify Key words…
Content of a training Programme

Progression – how much to overload by / when to overload

Why important to monitor and review programme

It let me check to see if my training method was appropriate and set at the correct level

Would tell me if my intensity levels were set correctly

I was able to check my current level against my last set of results to track my progression


With my second set of test results… this shows that the overload I have undertaken in my
training programme has worked and as the weeks progress we are improving my CRE / SE
To ensure my overload was progressive and set on my current level, I used the data from
my interim testing to guide the levels/degree of overload in my programme in the coming
weeks
This ensured I was progressing smoothly as training was based on my current level of
ability and attainment. Ensuring the principal of specificity was maintained
I was able to get internal feedback by how I felt during my pre season training programme
and pre season games.
To keep track of both the work I completed and how I intrinsically felt I keep a training
diary
This at times allowed me to see over the micro cycle of a week how I felt and tracked my
progression towards the next part of the training year- the start of the session
I felt progressively overloading my programme allowed me to monitor the small
developments in my fitness as I worked towards my overall goal – motivating
