Biophysical Foundations in Sport and Physical Activity Part A(1500 words) • Select an athletic event which you might like to coach or in which you have an interest. This will be the 100m SPRINT • Describe an athlete that you will coach in the event. Identify the athlete’s age and gender and any other significant factors that you need to consider when setting up a training program for the athlete. The athlete will be a 17yr old MALE in Grade 12. • Analyse the anatomical, physiological,biomechanical, motor learning and psychological factors which enhance performance in your chosen event. **Please analyse all aspects!** Part B (1000 words in total – 500 for training plan development and 500 for justification) Create a developmentally appropriate training plan for the track and field event selected in part A (100m Sprint). Incorporate principles of training and strategies conducive to improving physical performance. Training Plan Development Develop a training plan that addresses a required timeline for the preparatory phase, competitive phase and transition phase. You need to complete the following: 1. A training plan for 1 macro cycle of 4 weeks duration forthePRE COMPETITIVE PHASE. 2. A detailed description of 1 micro cycle of 7 days, Preparatory Phase Competitive Phase Transition Phase 4 week macro cycle 4 week macro cycle 4 week macro cycle ^ Complete a 1 week detailed ^ micro - cycle for 1 of the ^ above phases ANNUAL TRAINING PLAN Phases of Training Preparatory Competitive Transition Sub-phases General Preparation Specific Preparation Pre-comp. Main comp. Macro-cycles Micro- cycles You need to consider the following: • training principles and how they apply in each phase of the cycle • amount of aerobic and/or anaerobic work required in each phase of the program, appropriate to the age of the athlete • quantity and type of resistance training used for the phase of the program • number of sessions of skill development for the phase of the program and length of each session • other components of fitness specific to the event and athlete requirements, for example, agility, flexibility, speed. How and when will these components be developed? • when the athlete will participate in simulated competition and real competition and the impact of these events on training. Justification (500 words) You need to justify the decisions you have made regarding the length, time and type of training you will employ. Justify the selection of training activities based on your knowledge of the body’s response to different types of training. Identifythree (3) weaknesses in the athlete’s performance related to 2 components of fitness (for example, flexibility, strength, etc.) and 1 component of psychological skills training (for example, visualisation, motivation, arousal, etc.). Explain and demonstratecorrective strategies and/or instructions to remedy the identified weaknesses. ***PLEASE JUSTIFY ALL THESE POINTS USING CORRECT SOURCES. THE SOURCES MUST MATCH WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE PAPER – Previous essays I have received had references which had no relation to what was written and I had to go and find my own sources***

Data Analysis—Magnolia Middle School Case Study Order Description Post in table or chart form, the type of data you investigated and the sources of this type of data in the Magnolia Middle School case study. Share two or more of each: strengths, challenges, trends, and anomalies, you noticed based on your analysis of this data type. This week's Learning Resources discuss four different types of data that can be analyzed to provide a picture of a school's current performance and help target specific areas of focus for professional development. This week with your Walden colleagues, you will begin to analyze the data provided in the Magnolia Middle School case study. First, you will investigate a specific type of data in the case study and share your observations about what you noticed in the data with your colleagues. Then, you will look at the four categories of data to see how a strength or challenge related to student learning in one category of data is supported or not supported in another category. As you may know, this process is called triangulating the data. In your Discussion group, your Instructor has assigned you to one of the following specific types of data to investigate. Student Learning Data First, create a table or a chart to record your observations. Then, for the type of data you are investigating, list the different sources of this type of data in the Magnolia Middle School case study. Then review these sources looking for strengths, challenges, trends, and anomalies that may provide information related to student learning within the data type. To trigger your thinking, review some of the examples provided in this week's "Powerful Designs for Professional Learning" course text reading and the "Continuous Improvement: It Takes More Than Test Scores" article.
