Year 12 - Unit 7 - Subject Profiles follwowing the Health Screening Procedures and PARQs


You now have the completed PARQs for 2 clients and their Health Screening test results. You must now compile a profile for each of your clients which identifies strengths and areas for improvement. You will have to find out what their results mean and what the implications are on their health, both in the short-term and long-term, if they continue to lead the same lifestyle.

If they appear healthy in all departments, you must state the benefits in future life of leading a healthy lifestyle. If they have some areas that require improvement you must research the implications of high blood pressure/High BMI/ Low Lung function etc.

You are going to present this work very differently. You will have a few weeks to do it (to be handed in after half-term) and it will be in the form of a PowToon. If you are prepared to record a voiceover for your PowToon, you will not need to display too much text as you will be able to talk about the profiles and just use bullet points to display.

You must, however, include pictures of the tests we did, pictures of the rests, graphs etc.

To join the 6th Form BTEC Sport group on PowToon, you must click the link below:

www.powtoon.com/edu/join-group/mrkR/


Fill in your name and surname. Do not bother using your email address. You also have to pick a username and password. TIP: Use your school username and password so that you will remember it. Once you have done this, click 'Create' and choose the blank template and start your profiles. I would suggest that you complete both profiles on one PowToon as you will be able to compare and contrast your two clients as well as not have to duplicate some of the work on a second PowToon.

Everybody should attempt to do a voiceover. I will give you more guidance on this once you have made a start on the actual animation of the PowToon.

Year 12 - Fitness Testing

Once your PARQs are complete, print it twice and get 2 people from the group to fill it in. Please ensure that these people were present last Friday as, eventually, you will need their health test results. Once this is done, take photos of the questionnaires on your phones. If you download the blogger app, you will be able to upload them directly to a new post called 'PARQs'. If you cannot download the app, email the picture to yourself and then add it to a new post on the computer.

Bring kit for Friday (period 3) and we will be back in the classroom for period 4.

Year 13 - Exercise, Health & Lifestyle

Please ensure that you have completed the lifestyle questionnaire by next Monday. You must make it detailed as it will provide the basis for a health screening profile for the next task.

If you have finished, you should complete the questionnaire as if you were living a very unhealthy lifestyle. This will give you more to analyse during the health screening process.

Year 12 - Instructing Physical Activity

Please continue with the 6 week training plans. These should be finished by next Monday for me to mark. REMEMBER to tweak the intensity of exercise each week to show PROGRESSION.

I know that some of you are close to completing this, in which case, you should write a new post on blogger called 'Justification of Activities on Training Plans'. You should explain and justify the reasons for selecting the different activities and methods of training that you have used.

Preparation and Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ)

Before embarking upon a fitness programme, a gym will ask the client to complete a PARQ. This is used to establish current levels of fitness, medical conditions and health issues. If you search for 'PARQ' or 'health screening questionnaire' you will be given hundreds of examples.

Once you have written about the health monitoring tests for Task 2, you should design your own questionnaire. You should think of a name for your gym at the top of the questionnaire. Then take parts from the various questionnaires online to build your own.

This task will help you to build a subject profile of a client's health and current levels of fitness. The better your questionnaire, the more detailed profile you will be able to build. This task should be completed on a word document, printed and then completed by 2 different people in our class.

Once it has been completed, your questionnaire should be scanned and then published on a new post entitled 'Preparation and Readiness Questionnaire for 2 Clients' (or take a photo of the questionnaire and upload it to blogger).

On Friday we will be playing volleyball during period 3. You should then stay in your kit to complete the health screening tests which will take place in the sports centre classroom (not 104).
