The human body, like any other complex
entity, relies on a number of di erent
systems to function e ciently for it to be
sustainable.

Components of Fitness
Fitness is defined as a condition in which an individual has enough energy to avoid fatigue
and enjoy life. Analyze your day. Do you have lots of energy, or do you get tired easily?
Physical fitness is divided into four health- and six skill-related components. Skill-related
fitness enhances one’s performance in athletic or sports events. Health-related fitness is
the ability to become and stay physically healthy.

Reasons for fatigue
● number of contractions outnumber oxygen taken in
● size and mass of the muscle used in the exercise
● accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle
● lack of glucose
Principles of circuit training (SPORT):
● Specificity - training must be designed to suit the fitness goal
● Progression - we must build gradual stress on our bodies in a gradual progressive
method. If stressed is built too quickly, it may lead to injury; if built to slowly, it can
cause boredom. The body needs time to recover and adapt to training.
● Overload - the body will adapt to extra stress and become fitter; to improve the level
of fitness of our body systems we need to work them harder than normal.
● Reversibility - the training must be continuous since obtained fitness will be lost after
several weeks unless constantly worked on.
● Tedium - programmes must be varied to avoid tedium or boredom.
What do you want to know? Set a purpose for
your research.
● Break your question down. Are there any terms you need to define?
● Make sure your question is big enough to be worth the time you take to
research it.
Consider:
What do I want to know:
Evaluate your sources
Learn to look at a range of di erent types of sources (primary/secondary,
interviews, newspaper articles, YouTube clips, government documents, journals,
magazines, artwork, photographs, blogs, and so on).
Authority
Who is responsible for presenting the
information? What can you find out
about the author?
Audience
Whom is the information intended
for?
Accuracy
Triangulate your information:
● Confirm the information with
three separate reliable
sources
● Compare new information
with what you already know -
does it seem reasonable?
● Is the information consistent
with other information you
have found?
Currency
How old is the information, is it
regularly updated?
Use the Way Back Machine,. This
shows how often the site was
updated, when the site was updated,
and gives links to older versions of
the website.
Bias
What type of source is it (newspaper,
magazine, YouTube clip, multimedia
presentation, etc)?
Is the source trying to influence you?
How will you use the information
Now you have something relevant and useful what are you going to do with it?
Direct Quotes: Copy and paste any direct quotes you feel especially relevant/important into
a separate research document, for easy access later on. Try to keep direct
quotes to between 1 and 3 lines of dialogue.
Reflect on your research
This would be the final step of the process.
Relevance
Have I been able to find the
answers I wanted?
Gaps
What do I still need to find out?
New questions
Are there any new questions I now
need to answer?
Criterion A: Knowing and Understanding
● explain physical health education factual, procedural and conceptual knowledge
● apply physical and health education knowledge to analyse issues and solve
problems set in familiar and unfamiliar situation
● apply physical and health terminology e ectively communicate understanding
Criterion B: Planning for Performance
● design, explain and justify plans to improve physical performance and health
● analyse and evaluate the e ectiveness of a plan based on the outcome
●
Criteria A and B: PHE Fitness Circuit Design
Task: You are to design a training circuit that has a specific fitness related goal
Your end product will include:
● A specific fitness goal from these options: to lose weight, build power, increase
endurance (strength/aerobic), to improve aerobic fitness, to build muscle bulk
● An explanation of the principles of circuit training (SPORT) and how they relate to
your circuit
● An explanation of the main fitness components your circuit will focus on and how
they relate to your goal
● Explanation of how it is appropriate for someone your age
● Explanation of your design (minimum 9 stations), and justification of how each
station relates to your goal
● Diagrams, pictures, lists etc that will show the description of each station, including
the fitness component and muscle groups each exercise is working, and the circuit
plan
● Evaluation of the design and the assignment
