If You Can't Measure It, You Can't Train It

Two athletes train the same hours a week — why does only one improve? The two families of fitness with all eleven components named; the principles of training, with what a warm up and a cool down each do and why the DfE names both; and measurement done properly, because a fitness test is only worth running if it is valid, reliable and specific to the sport. A table gives a standard test for each component — Cooper run, sit-and-reach, Illinois agility, vertical jump, 30-metre sprint, ruler drop — and a drawn figure sets the training zones as percentages of a stated maximum heart rate, so changing the maximum moves every boundary with it. Eleven terms to define, a worked heart-rate calculation, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
