The word document (PAP document 2023) is what the assignment must be completed in. The pdf document labelled week five highlights how to do the assignment. I have the marking scheme attached as well. The assignment looks for video, but you don't need to do this. Pictures of FITT training plans etc. would be needed.
I need the assignment completed five times (in every case, the athlete is 18 years of age approx.) (see below). So basically 5 assignments need to be done and sent back to me.
For each section A, using theoretical concepts, learners will complete an analysis of their performance and identify areas of strengths and weakness.
I must come up with a performance analysis by testing myself in the following areas in the specific sport/activity that I choose. The eight areas are:
Learning a new skill, developing technique
Psychological demands of the activity
Physiological demands of the activity
Performance-related components of fitness
Health-related components of fitness
Movement and biomechanical analysis
Tactical and strategical application
Diet and Nutrition
Accompanying images (images can be in word format and used as an appendix at the end) should show the results of tests in these areas and how they compare against the national norm. You will have to make up the results here. Referring to the Energy systems, i.e. ATP-PC system, anaerobic glycolysis, aerobic glycolysis needed is chosen sport would be good.
For section B, using the SMART strategy, they must identify four performance goals. Learners need to explain why they selected each goal and how it relates to their performance analysis in section A.
In order to improve, they come up with a 6-week training planning incorporating the FITT principle, and that also accounts for the principles of training, i.e. SPORT & RAID ( Specificity, Progressive Overload, Reversibility, Tedium, Rest, Recovery and Overtraining, Adaptation, Individual Needs and Diminishing Returns) and should have periodisation (mesocycle/macrocycle/microcycle) in order to address each performance goal. Plans should incorporate Warm-Up – RAMP: Raise, Activate and Mobilise, Potentiate, Cool Down & mention strategies for rest and recovery. It should incorporate the different training methods, i.e. fartlek, circuit training, HIIT, resistance, plyometrics etc. Some training plans may look at diet & nutrition or Strategies to improve psychological preparedness.
Accompanying images (images can be in word format and used as an appendix at the end) should show the training plans geared towards the specific performance goal. An interim reflection should be completed to review the plan's effectiveness and current progress against the four performance goals. Appropriate changes should be documented and justified.
Section C is the concluding analysis. A second analysis of performance will be completed so learners can ascertain any progress they made against their four performance goals and in all tests used in section A. Again you will have to make up results here. The analysis process completed should include the same contexts used in the initial performance analysis for a fair comparison. Learners will comment on progress made in relation to the effectiveness of their training plan and the quality of its implementation. (images can be in word format and used as an appendix at the end
The five subjects I would like tested are as follows:
65 kg male basketballer - four performance goals that need to be SMART can be based on
Performance-related components of fitness - improving agility
Health-related components of fitness - improving Cardiovascular Endurance
Psychological demands of the activity - scot or swot analysis
Learning a new skill, developing technique e.g. free throw
The FITT training plans that incorporate the principles of training etc then focus on these 4 performance goals in section B
60kg female doing resistance training, i.e. squats, lunges, bench press, pull up, push up, unilateral, bilateral) - four performance goals that need to be SMART can be based on
Performance-related components of fitness - improving power
Health-related components of fitness - improving muscular strength
Diet and Nutrition - good diet needed to build muscle & lose fat
Movement and biomechanical analysis of squat, push up & pull up technique
The FITT training plans that incorporate the principles of training etc then focus on these 4 performance goals in section B
70kg male soccer player - four performance goals that need to be SMART can be based on
Performance-related components of fitness - improving reaction time
Health-related components of fitness - improving flexibility
Diet and Nutrition to enhance performace
Learning a new skill, developing technique e.g. passing
The FITT training plans that incorporate the principles of training etc then focus on these 4 performance goals in section B
55 kg female volleyball player - four performance goals that need to be SMART can be based on
Learning a new skill, developing technique e.g. the dig
Health-related components of fitness - improving muscular endurance
Psychological demands of the activity anxiety
Physiological demands of the activity - sleep
The FITT training plans that incorporate the principles of training etc then focus on these 4 performance goals in section B
60 kg male sprinter - four performance goals that need to be SMART for section B can be based on
Performance-related components of fitness - improving speed
Health-related components of fitness - Cardiovascular Endurance
Diet and Nutrition to improve performance
Movement and biomechanical analysis of sprinting technique
The FITT training plans that incorporate the principles of training etc then focus on these 4 performance goals in section B
assignment requirements
The three sections of your project must not exceed a total length of 1600 words, excluding references and bibliography.
You must not change the structure or format of the booklet in any way and should adhere to the following formatting guidelines:
The text should be in Arial, font size 12.
You may make use of text editing features such as italics, bullets, postscript, etc.

You are also not allowed to attach or include links to any other material.
An image can be any relevant graph, chart, diagram or photograph. They can be inserted in the appendices at the end of each section in this booklet. When referring in the body of the report to any specific image, the image must be properly labelled (figure 1, figure 2, etc.). You are not allowed to include picture collages. The total number of images allowed throughout this booklet is 16.
You must also include references and a bibliography in the space provided at the end of the booklet. You must reference any information used in your report, such as publications including books, professional journals and government reports; online sources and other types of media; specialist organisations and relevant individuals. To include such material without properly referencing the source will be considered plagiarism.
Some good references would be appreciated throughout where possible. If each assignment had 5-8 references, it would be good.
Kind regards
