Year 13 - Unit 14: Lifestyle Questionnaires and Analysis

Year 12 - Unit 15 - Explain / Justify your choice of activities

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).

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:
