A Good Example of Task 1 for Fitness Testing

Year 12 Subject Profiles on PowToon

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.

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).

Health Screening

You must complete the following Health Monitoring tests on 2 people in our BTEC Sport group:

• PARQ (Preparation and Readiness Questionnaire)
• Hip/Waist Ratio
• BMI
• Lung Function
• Blood Pressure

We will administer these tests next week. Before then, you must describe/explain the tests, protocol and equipment. As well as finding tables and graphs which explain the results of the tests. You should do this on a 'New Post' entitled 'Health Screening'.

You must also compile your own PARQ that needs to be completed by your two clients. If you search PARQ on google you will discover hundreds of examples. You should use questions from several sources to make your own. This needs to be printed and completed by next week.

Once we have the results of the tests and completed PARQs you should complete the document template 'Subject Profile for Health Monitoring Tests' (which can be found in the shared area) for both of your clients. Done adequately, this will provide evidence for the following criteria:

Year 12 - Analysis of Fitness Test Results

Tomorrow we will run the final tests (Illinois Agility and 35m Sprint). In the meantime you can begin to analyse the results that you have already obtained for one of your subjects.

Use the headings from the picture here (or use the template that is on the shared area):

Take a look at this example that was good enough to achieve a the distinction criteria:

Finally, you should remember to use sites such as www.brianmac.co.uk and www.topendsports.com to help you analyse your results and evaluate the fitness of your subject. This page on the bleep test is particularly good as it calculates your VO2 Max (more about this later).

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.

Subject Profile - Health Assessment

Now you have 2 completed PARQs and the health test results for 2 clients (fellow classmates) you should compile a subject profile. A template for this piece of work can be found by clicking in the folder entitled 'Unit 7: Fitness Testing for Sport & Exercise' in the shared area and looks like this:




Screen Shot of Subject Profile

Use the headings on the template to create 2 subject profiles for your clients on a new post on blogger. You need to complete all sections of the subject profile for both of your clients. You must consider their health test results and the data from their PARQs. You must also consider the sports that they play and want to improve.

All this information will help you to assess their current health and justify the fitness tests that you are going to administer next week. Starting next week, we will be administering the following tests in lessons:

• Beep Test
• Cooper Run
• Illinois Agility Run
• Power Jumps
• 35m Speed Test
• Sit & Reach Test




Fitness Testing for Sport & Exercise - Criteria

Frequently Asked Questions:

What if the health test results are all positive and the PARQ shows that the client has a very healthy lifestyle?

You should then decide which tests to administer and justify the selection based on their main sport (eg, I will test his cardiovascular fitness by doing the beep test and the cooper run as this is a key component of fitness in football as players must move around the pitch continuosly for 90 minutes).

You should also explain the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and the benefits this will include as well as how his health may deteriorate if your client lead a less healthy lifestyle.


How do I get a merit/distinction for this piece of work?

It is all about identifying strengths and weaknesses of their current state of health using the data available. What do their test results say about their health? Does their completed PARQ give any indication of a less than perfect lifestyle or indicate possible health issues?

To achieve a distinction you must evaluate all of the data available and suggest possible lifestyle changes outlining the long term effects on the body of poor diet, smoking, alcohol consumption etc. What impact woud high blood pressure have later in life? What health implications would a high BMI have?

 

Year 12 (Single) - Unit 7: Fitness Testing for Sport & Exercise

On your blog, your first post should be entitled 'Fitness Testing for Sport & Exercise: Task 1 - The Fitness Tests'.

 

Find an appropriate fitness test for the following components of fitness

• Speed


• Cardio-vascular Endurance


• Agility


• Power


• Reaction Time


• Muscular Endurance


• Muscular Strength

Include; test protocol, equipment, diagrams (or even videos), normative data for results.

 

To achieve a merit level include a section on your for each test where you explain the advantages and disadvantages and validity/reliability of each test.

 

TIP: Do not confuse Validity/Reliability with advantages/disadvantages. Cost and equipment can be used for advantages/disadvantages. Accuracy (or inaccuracy) of results should be used for Validity/Reliability. Think through the logistics of the test and ask yourself whether the results can be totally accurate and whether the data you have gathered is totally relevant.

 

DEADLINE: To be completed by the start of our lesson on Monday 23rd September
