Netball Requirements Speed Speed is required in both netball and 100m, in netball it is used to get free whereas in 100m its main use is to get from end to the other in the quickest possible time. Speed in netball I have given it 25% and in 100m I have gave it 80% so this shows that speed is more important in 100m than in netball. Strength Strength in needed in both netball and 100m it is used to snatch the ball from a rebound, and in 100m is it used to push of the blocks to give power. I have given strength in netball 18% and in 100m 10% it is not essential in both sports however it does help in netball it is to keep possession of the ball and in 100m it is to get a powerful start. Cardiovascular endurance Cardiovascular is needed in netball to last the length of the game however in 100m it is not needed at all really this is because it is a short distance which is a sprint, and you are working aerobically. I gave cardiovascular endurance 30% in my fit bar because it is needed more if you are a centre and less if you are a 100m sprinter in which I gave cardiovascular endurance 1% in my fit bar because it is not needed at all. Muscular endurance Muscular endurance is needed in both 100m and netball, in netball it is needed in the arms whereas in 100m it is needed in the legs, this is because theses are the main body parts that are used the most. I gave muscular endurance 12% in my fit bar for netball and 2% for 100m, there is a 10% difference in the percentage this is because a netball game is a lot longer than a 100m sprint there for the arms are used constantly for a long period of time and in a sprint the legs are used but speed is more important. Flexibility Flexibility isn’t really used in either netball or 100m, I gave
There are three main energy systems used in a game of touch football which consist of the creatine phosphate (ATP PC) system, lactic acid system and the aerobic system. Each system plays a vital role during game play. Every muscle in your body requires energy to perform all movements, and to do this, the energy is produced by the breakdown of a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is found in all cells which is a chemical form of muscular activity and performs mostly all functions in the human body. It contains 3 phosphate groups and adenosine. ATP is stored in the muscles and lasts for approximately 10-30 seconds. Carbohydrates, fats and proteins, are all producers of ATP from the food we eat; however Creatine Phosphate is also a high energy compound producer found in the cells. These three chemical reactions are conducted to continue muscular work. The first system used in a game of touch football is the ATP PC system. This system is stored into the muscles and used in short durations for up to 10 seconds and doesn’t not require oxygen therefore being anaerobic. ATP lasts approximately 3 seconds, and then Creatine phosphate (CP) will continue until all ATP PC energy is used up. The use of ATP is high intensity and would usually be used in a 50m sprint or a pass in touch. Once the CP energy is used up the body then switches to the lactic acid system. This is because of the breakdown of glucose, resulting in the production of lactic acid. The lactic acid system an anaerobic energy system, which lasts for approximately 30 seconds to 2 minutes, and is the conversion of glycogen to glucose. In relation to a game of touch football, the lactic acid system could be used during a quick wruck, as the movements required are a...

Adding leg strength workouts and foot to ball placement drills would focus on these lacking kicking skills. It would be important to re-test the team at regular intervals to track their progress. This would provide the team members with feedback and allow their training schedules to be adjusted accordingly to meet their individual needs.

What is Biomechanics? It is the study of forces and their effects on the living system (McGinnis, 2013). In this essay, I will be looking at the biomechanics of running. Running, as well as any other sport requires skills for which advancement is due to consistent deliberate practice and effective development. However, runners should establish a training system that actively builds their original running pattern instead of basing it on what works well for others. Understanding the biomechanics of running gives a better knowledge of their running techniques and points out areas of concerns that require improvement. Despite the fact that running is dependent on the interaction of the whole body, breaking down the running pace into single components allows us to further understand how minor changes can increase improve performance and decrease injury risk.

Accuracy, composure, toughness, precise technical work and released game pressure situations are the key ingredients to consistent, high percentage shooting. If any of these elements are missing, the shooter is likely to go missing when the pressure is really on. Attackers try to feed the ball into the goal circle, so that the goal shooter (GS) or goal attack (GA) can shoot at the goal and score. In a game where only two of the team members can shoot, it is critical that they both be comfortable and eager to score at every opportunity. Every time the ball moves down-court, the aim is to get it to a shooter in a good scoring position. The shooters must be aware of their opponent’s attempt to intercept the shot. They must start at least 0.9 m from shooter’s landing foot.
The use of the six principles of training by a 100m sprinter would greatly improve the athlete’s performance. This is because the progressive overload, specificity, reversibility, variety, training thresholds and warm up/cool down principles all greatly affect the performance of any athlete. The principles of training can be employed in order to improve all aspects of fitness, from flexibility to strength and aerobic endurance.

What makes champions in sport? At the end of the day, it is the moment when one stands at the top of the podium, holding up their well-deserved medals and trophies that all elite athletes strive for. Thus, experts have studied this question extensively to see which programs, or by what means, are elite athletes developed to achieve this goal. One of the many aspects to athlete development is the controversial topic of deliberate practice versus deliberate play. Deliberate practice can be defined as “any training activity (a) undertaken with the specific purpose of increasing performance, (b) requiring cognitive and/or physical effort, and (c) relevant to promoting positive skill development” (Cote et al., 2007, p. 185) On the other hand, deliberate play is defined as “a form of sporting activity that involves early developmental physical activities that are intrinsically motivating, provide immediate gratification, and are specifically designed to maximize enjoyment” (Cote et al., 2007, p. 185-186). The phrase “deliberate practice versus deliberate play” is a common misnomer, since the terms are portrayed as the only two options; however, this is a false dichotomy. Empirical evidence supports the fact that both aspects are essential for the development of athletes; therefore the phrase should be correctly cited as “deliberate practice and deliberate play”. This commentary will focus on discussing the importance of both deliberate practice and deliberate play for elite athlete development as well as pose some questions on talent identification and early specialization in sport.

As the topic above endurance runners have slower twitch muscles in the body. The anatomy build of an endurance runners differs from a sprinter. Scott Amato, (2013, September 27 explains long distance are typically tall. The article also explains that long distance runners have long arms. The long legs of a long distance runners helps with a making fewer steps while running. While these are the typical characteristics of a long distance runners, some runners are normal height but have long legs to be able to give them the advantage of long strides. Most long distance runners are really thin and have less muscle mass. However; there is a reason why long distance runners have less muscle mass. Less muscle mass helps the long distance runners run longer as well as allowing the runner to run fast during a race because runners are not held down with all that muscle mass. Most runners do not weigh a lot because long distance runners run burn a lot of calories while running, causing runners to gain no weight at all. Most long distance runners have high VO2 max, which leads to them running for long periods in time. While these are the characteristics for long distance runners, there are different characteristics for
My strengths would be that I can do speed dribbling. During the game if there is open space, I forward towards the opponent basket performing speed dribble and pull players towards me which creates open spaces for my mates.
