Reflection On One Minute Fitness Test

858 Words4 Pages

One Minute Sit-Up Test The fitness component in relation to this fitness test can be identified as muscular endurance and this can be defined as the “capability of a person to use their voluntary muscles over a longer period of time without being tired”. (BTEC Sport Level 2) This is also known as anaerobic endurance and this is the “body’s level of capacity to gain energy from food without the use of oxygen” (BTEC Sport Level 2). I was able to do 40 sit ups per minute within my first trail whereas I was able to do 48 sit ups per minute during my second trial and eventually, I got a 44 as my average. This fell under the “good” category and I could’ve easily gotten a rating of “excellent” (average should be between 46 and 54) because since I …show more content…

As it is what mainly helps a swimmer to improve and maintain their level of fitness when it comes to long distance swimming. As I’ve mentioned above, my level of muscular endurance was pretty good (it is better in my arms than my legs) and this helps me a lot when it comes to butterfly. I’ve mentioned this before but muscular endurance is what helps my arms to go above the water. If it doesn’t go above the water, I wouldn’t be very successful in this stroke. Yes, my hands do get tired after some time as I am not trained for long distance swimming (I am trained for short distance swimming like 50m sprints or 100m) but this would gradually improve with the proper type of training. When it comes to butterfly, I need a lot of muscular endurance in my legs because they help me to swim forward. For freestyle and backstroke, muscular endurance is needed in both my hand and legs but unfortunately, I lack muscular endurance in my legs because for butterfly, I am usually stuck in one place (my legs don’t push hard enough), for freestyle, I get tired after some time and for backstroke, my legs sink (my upper body is upright but my legs go underwater). So it would be very important for me train harder to achieve the best result when it comes to swimming, and if I do this, I’m sure that I would be able to achieve a “superior”

    Imagine this. On a Monday morning around 9:30, it was that time of year again: Fitness testing week and it was the day where we took the hardest, most physically painful test, also known as running the mile. The first lap seemed pretty easy to run but towards the end of the second lap, finishing the other two laps seemed impossible, so I just wanted to just walk it from there, when all of a sudden, a rush of energy came over me, allowing me to run a good 10 minute mile. Although I did want to give up and walk the rest of the mile, I pushed through it and managed to jog the whole time, making the reward of finishing sooner feel even better.

    The practice sets were focused on doing progression drills, where the swimmer would build off the previous drill. This is a type of practice is known as “part practice” and involved progressing in a starting position and gradually combining the required “parts” to the whole starting position resulting in the dive. (Jean M. Williams & Vikki Krane, 2013). The coach was very instructional in taking the time to do it correctly and offered suggestions when necessary. I believe that the coach has implemented a task-oriented motivation climate within the team, which has a positive effect that intrinsically motivates the swimmers towards improvement and enjoyment of the sport.

In the final race, Washington was in the worst lane with wind howling and waves splashing and they missed the start. However, they were able to settle into a groove and barely edge against even Germany, which was in the lane that was protected from all weather, in the final second and win a gold for the U.S. Nevertheless, using teamwork, the Washington team was able to overcome their

  • Overtraining In Sports Essay

    Did you know that by some estimates, up to 60 percent of competitive athletes overtrain at some point? A recent study conducted showed that over 15 percent of 200 elite British athletes tested met the criteria for being overtrained, and thus, felt the effects of a “burnout” (Reynolds 1). To understand the toll that overtraining can take on an athlete’s life, consider Whitney Myers, a world class swimmer at the University of Arizona. In 2006, Myers won the women’s N.C.A.A. title in the 200 and 400-yard individual medleys, while going on to win gold in the 200-meter individual medley at the Pan Pacific Championships. Less than a year later, however, she stumbled under pressure at the 2007 Long-Course Championships, making the finals in only one

Athletes would focus more towards increases in neural activity in muscle fiber recruitment, and its application in force production and speed.
