Year 12 - Fitness Testing for Sport & Exercise - Monday 14th October

You have 3 lessons this week to complete your subject profiles. Please remember to address the following:

• Summarise PARQs
• If no health problems exist, suggest ways to improve their favoured sports
• Ask them if they have any fitness goals (or make some for them)
• Evaluate their test results (and suggest possible reasons for inaccuracies and the limitations of the tests themselves - see video)
• Justify the selection of fitness tests that we will be administering next week
• Identify strengths and weaknesses of their health profile - MERIT
• Recommend lifestyle changes (or state the importance of maintaing the healthy lifestyle they may already lead) - DISTINCTION

Last week the BBC showed a very useful documentary called 'Trust Me, I'm a Doctor'. The whole programme was interested and relevant to various units of the BTEC course. Most importantly, the first 10 minutes of the programme discussed the limitations of such tests as BMI and Body Fat Percentage. Please watch the first 10 minutes of the video from the link below. You should consider this when writing your health profiles.
