Period 1 Team Games

Due Date: Wednesday, May 29th

You will have two weeks to complete this blog and turn it in to me. Below are the ten general skills of physical fitness. The body is a dynamic machine and all of these skills help to make that machine run. It is my contention that you are only as good as your average across the range of these ten skills and to get better you need to raise that average. The best way to do that is to find what you are deficient in and make that better.


For this weeks’ blog I want you to rate yourself 1 - 10 in each of the skill categories. One being the worst ten the best. Once you have rated yourself, choose 3 general skills of fitness and explain 2 ways you can improve on these areas. Be honest in your rankings, and if you need a second opinion ask me.

1. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance – The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.

2. Stamina – The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store and utilize energy.

3. Strength – The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.

4. Flexibility – The ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.

5. Power – The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units to apply maximum force in minimum time.

6. Speed – The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.

7. Co-ordination – The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.

8. Agility – The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.

9. Balance The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base.

10. Accuracy – The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity

My Personal Ratings:
Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance: 6
Stamina: 7
Strength: 4
Flexibility: 8
Power: 5
Speed: 9
Coordination: 9
Agility: 10
Balance: 7
Accuracy: 6

I believe I can improve my cardiovascular endurance by jogging long distances but somewhat slowly. This will increase my ability to continue strenuous activity for a long time. Also, I could play sports that require more running back and forth than plain force like soccer.
I could improve my strength by lifting weights and exercising more often in my free time. Also, even though I currently drink lots of milk, I could buy protein shakes to drink after exercising.
Finally, even though I consider myself very coordinated, I could spend time focusing on ball control. I enjoy playing soccer very much and I used to practice dribbling very often. Also, I could practice dribbling in basketball as well, improving my hand-eye coordination.

To improve my cardiovascular endurance, everyday I can run, or use step blocks. I can improve my flexibility by stretching everyday, and touching my toes. lastly, I can improve my balance by practicing standing one leg, or using a balance beam.

1)Stamina: To improve your stamina, you could run a mile everyday at a pace and gradually increase the amount. You could also do a plank for increasing amounts of time
2)Co=ordination: To increase my coordination, i could dribble a soccer ball everyday to better my feet and dribble a basketball to better my hands.
3)Strength: To increase strength, i could do push-ups and sit-ups everyday until some soreness is present.

My power and strength both could be improved by doing pushups and sit-ups daily to improve by core and muscles ability to apply force. Another area of physical fitness that needs work is my flexibility which I can work on by stretching everyday and by trying to access my muscles full range of motion by swinging them as far as they will go.

I believe that I could improve my strength by doing more push ups and sit ups. I think I could improve my speed by doing more sprints and exercising more overall. And finally, I believe I could improve my coordination by working on my throwing and catching.

Endurance- Jog or other exercise daily, increasing the lasting time and pushing myself further with each time.
Strength- This also can be improved with more, and more vigorous exercise, especially focusing on upper body strength which I lack, by doing such things as pull ups.
Power- Do more push-ups and sit-ups to strengthen and power-up the core.
