and punctuation and appropriate technical language
will be used accurately.”
What do you think it is?
“The personal exercise programme (PEP) is a
training plan to implement the strategies,
practices, or tactics that will improve
performance. It must be well-designed
(planned), performed (by you), and monitored
(recorded) over a six-week period. It must then
be evaluated, with comments on how it
benefited you and suggestions on how to
develop it further.” Edexcel 2009
