Homework 4 – Due 10th September

In order to complete this homework you will be required to analyse the data you collect on your football performance.

You will now have to analyse your data in detail so that you can identify your strengths and weaknesses. In your POB jotter write up your detailed analysis. Compare your first half performance to your second half performance on your movement analysis sheet and work out how much work you did and how effective it was. Was there a particular area of strength or weakness? Was there an area that dropped of in the second half? Use figures from your sheets to back up your analysis. For example my long sprinting was very effective at the start of the game as I completed 5 successful sprints an no ineffective ones however towards the end of the second half my sprinting dropped I only completed 2 successful sprints out of 6 in the 36-40 min period.

You will also have to compare your first half performance to your second half performance on your skill analysis sheet and work how effective you were. Was there a particular area of strength or weakness? Was there an area that dropped of in the second half? Yet again you will have to back up your analysis with figures from your sheets. Compare your thoughts and feelings as the game progressed. Is there a link to the movement and skill analysis sheets?

Your answer should be about 1 page in length and will be marked on a pass/fail basis.

 NB The more detail and time you spend on making a good analysis the better your answer will be for the internal assessment.

 

 

Homework 3 – Due 3 Sept

    

Choose an activity of your choice and describe the fitness requirements to participate in that activity and explain in detail how these fitness requirements influence your performance. If you select a team game such as football you must tailor your answer to a specific playing position.  Your answer should include the following information.

• The activity and your specific role if appropriate
• Reference to aspects of fitness ( from the 3 areas of physical, skill and mental fitness) with an appropriate explanation of each aspect. eg in rugby strength is important for a prop forward.  Strength is defined as the maximal force that a muscle can develop.  Static strength is particularly important when scrummaging to be able to hold the scrum steady.  by locking out my legs I can help prevent the opposition pushing our scrum back.
• An explanation of how each of these aspects of fitness influenced your performance in your selected role. eg it is important for me to be aggressive to win challenges, however, I have to control my level of aggression so that my level of arousal does not become to high and my performance drops because I become too aggressive and give away fouls or get booked.

Your answer should be around 1-2 pages in length and will be marked on a pass/fail basis.  To aid you with your answer ready pages 1-7 of your workbook.  Any problems see me asap.

You may find the following video tutorials of  interest. The first video is about netvibes a great bit of software to keep track of all blogs and websites that have content which is regularly updated. I find netvibes very useful as there are loads of plug ins that you can add and you can personalise it to your own needs and the best bit is that it is web based so if you sign up for your own account you can access it form any computer with an Internet connection. Ideal for use at home and school.

The following are a set of tutorials for using wordpress the provider we use for the Banchory PE blog.
