  • Lesson Plans Introduction the Following Section Provides Twenty-Seven Ready-To-Implement Lesson Plans for Teachers
    Lesson Plans Introduction The following section provides twenty-seven ready-to-implement lesson plans for teachers. The section is divided into four smaller sub-sections. • Early Stage 1 (5 year olds) • Stage 1 (6/7 year olds) • Stage 2 (8/9 year olds) • Stage 3 (10 years and LAANSWabove) ASAP Level 3 Each sub-section contains lesson plans suitable for children in these age groups. The lesson plans assume classes of up to thirty students and a time limit of 30-45 minutes, however a teacher can adapt the ideas to suit their particular circumstances. Each lesson plan generally follows the same format, being: Aim; Equipment; Warm Up; Skill Development; Games. In relevant places, topics such as safety aspects and various hints that will help the teacher organise and conduct a successful lesson are included. The lesson plans at times assume prior learning, ie. that the children have participated in the skill development activities contained in preceding lessons designed for the earlier levels. The activities featured in the lesson plans are based on fun, skill development, maximum group participation and a sound, logical progression. The lesson plans form the foundation of a class athletics unit. 3 29 Early Stage 1 Lesson Plans • Running - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 • Jumping - Lesson 1 - LessonLAANSW 2 ASAP Level 3 • Throwing - Lesson 1 - Lesson 2 30 Early Stage 1 Running Lesson Plan Lesson 1 Introduction to basic running technique Introduction to relays Ground markers x 30 Relay batons x 5 Warm Up 1.

  • Evolution of the Hurdle-Unit Kinematic Parameters in the 60 M Indoor Hurdle Race
    applied sciences Article Evolution of the Hurdle-Unit Kinematic Parameters in the 60 m Indoor Hurdle Race Pablo González-Frutos 1,*, Santiago Veiga 2, Javier Mallo 2 and Enrique Navarro 2 1 Faculty of Health Sciences, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain 2 Health and Human Performance Department, Technical University of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain; [email protected] (S.V.); [email protected] (J.M.); [email protected] (E.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-659-83-26-09 Received: 16 October 2020; Accepted: 30 October 2020; Published: 4 November 2020 Featured Application: Coaches and athletes should implement their training programs to have an impact on some of these variables according to the specific demands of each hurdle-unit phase and gender. Abstract: The aims of this study were to compare the five hurdle-unit split times from the deterministic model with the hurdle-to-hurdle model and with the official time, to compare the step kinematics of each hurdle-unit intervals, and to relate these variables to their respective hurdle-unit split times. The temporal and spatial parameters of the 60 m hurdles race were calculated during the 44th Spanish and 12th IAAF World Indoor Championships (men: n = 59; women: n = 51). The hurdle-unit split times from the deterministic model showed a high correlation (r = 0.99; p < 0.001) with the split times of the hurdle-to-hurdle model and faster split times were related to shorter step and flight times in hurdle steps for both genders. At the first hurdle, male athletes tended to increase their flight and contact times while the tendency of female athletes was to decrease their contact and flight times.

DeMeester Dear Seb, I am writing you because of three press releases issued by the International Olympic Committee last week. First of all, congratulations on your nomination to join the IOC as a member whose candidature is linked to a function within an international federation. Whatever structural flaws the IOC may have (you were elected President by our member federations; the IOC is a handpicked closed group), athletics deserves an ex officio seat at the table. Second, in light of the Black Lives Matter movement, the IOC condemned racism in the strongest terms, citing the non-discrimination rights and freedoms set forth in Fundamental Principle 6 of the Olympic Charter. This Olympic constitutional provision prohibits discrimination of any kind, including race and sex, among others. This principle formed the basis for the legal challenges against the exclusion of women athletes from the 50K Race Walk Event. World Athletics, under your leadership, deserves credit for having included the Women’s 50K Race Walk Event at top IAAF level starting with London 2017, and for having urged the IOC to include women 50K walkers in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

  • THE VETERAN ATHLETE ACT VAC: Rosemary Parker, P.O
    Records crash in NSW State Titles Fred Turner hits top form with 200/400 metres double and Fred O’Connor grabs nine gold medals. NSW athletes have set a cracking pace for the national championships and the World Games later this year. The State championships in Sydney over the weekend of March 21-22 yielded no fewer than 46 records — yet to be ratified — and some excellent performances from both men and women. They were also timely, in that they coincided with the centenary year of the NSW Amateur Athletic Association and were marked by a record number of entries. Officials estimate that the total entries were up by at least 100 on the previous best figure. An appreciative crowd at Sydney Athletic Field lent its support as new marks were set throughout the two days in warm, sunny weather marred only by a stiff breeze at one stage which troubled the sprinters in the home straight. The championships ran like clockwork and gave officials — many of whom were recruited at the last minute because NSWAAA officials were busy elsewhere — a golden opportunity to rehearse their skills for the Sydney-based Nation^ Champ­ ionships over the Easter weekend. Many of the athletes seem to feel the new spirit of determin­ ation which marked these championships and performed accord­ ingly. Midway through the second day the 800-metre men appeared to have a mortgage on fast times and three State records toppled in quick succession. Paul Critchley set the pattern by smashing the State record for M45 with a time of 2min 0 .10s, carving a massive 8s off the existing record and just 1.60s outside the Australian record.
