C.V Fitness Training

So far we have done two types of C.V Fitness training. The first one was a 25 minute run which we did on the field. This is a good way to train but does have its disadvantages. One of them is that it could get boring after a few sessions. It also has its advantages which are that you can do it anywhere, all you need is a pair of running trainers and you could do it with as many people as you want.
    The second C.V Fitness training we did was very different to the first one. It only lasted 15 minutes but was much more intense. It also needed more equipment. You would have to have a skipping rope and a kettle bell. For the boys the kettle bells were 8kg but for the girls they were 5kg. You would have to do 5, 6 step berpies if you were a boy but if you were a girl you would do 5, 4 step berpies. Then you would do 10 kettle bell swings. After that you would do 15 skips with your skipping rope then run 20m, stop turn and then run back 20m. After that you would start over again and do that for 15 minutes. This is my proffered way to train because its much more exciting and you can push yourself much further. The advantages of this is that its working allot of different components of fitness. It uses C.V Endurance because you have to keep going, flexibility when you do the burpies, you do allot of bending and jumping and co-ordination when you skip. The disadvantages are that you would need more equipment.

Unit 1 Fitness Testing And Training-Components of Fitness

These are the 10 components of fitness but be aware that accuracy is reffered to reaction time. Stamina is reffered to muscular endurance.

1. Cardiovascular/Respiratory Endurance - The ability of the body systems to gather, process, and transport oxygen.
2. Stamina - The ability of a muscle to continue contracting over a period of time against a light moderate load. 
3. Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscular units to apply force.
4. Flexibility - The ability of maximizing range of motion at a given joint.
5. Power - The ability of a muscular unit, or combo of muscular units to apply maximum force in minimum time.
6. Speed - The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
7. Agility - The ability to minimize transition time between one movement pattern to another.
8. Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
9. Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies’ center of gravity in relation to its’ support base.
10. Reaction Time - The time taken for a sports proformer to respond to a stimulas and the innatation of their responce. 

Here is a video clip of the multi stage fitness test, a test for C.V endurance.
