Actlaa Best Performance Records
ACTLAA BEST PERFORMANCE RECORDS Note: Due to the use of Electronic Timing at ACTLAA carnivals held at Bruce Stadium, the following Track Event Records have been standardised. This means that where only a Hand Held record performance is available, this result is standardised to Electronic Timing by adding 0.24 seconds up to 300metres and .14 for 400m (ie 10 seconds Hand Held is equivalent to 10.24 seconds Standardised - "10.24s/S").

Many Strags are well into their marathon training and the latest initiative from the club’s training group – improve your 5k – is proving popular. The cross country season has one more set of league fixtures with our men’s team well placed for promotion. This issue has a roundup of recent XC activity for men, ladies and juniors. We’re also already turning our attention to the summer relays, with Green Belt and Welsh Castles teams already being organised. Having completed profiles of committee members, I’m now focusing on members who make an important contribution to an aspect of club life and with Welsh Castles in mind it’s the turn of men’s team organiser Malcolm Davies. -
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.

Keymaze 500 Keymaze 700 Documentation
KEYMAZE 500 KEYMAZE 700 DOCUMENTATION 1 / Getting started 1.1.Product description USB cable connection. When plugging in the cable, be sure to turn the connector round the right way. The metal cable guide pin must be able to slide freely into the hole to the bottom-right of the socket. PC-Keymaze connecting cable Heart strap (Keymaze 700 only) Changing the strap Equipment needed i The strap and tool may differ slightly depending on the date when you buy your Keymaze. 2 - Procedure Using the tool supplied, remove the strap. To do this, you need to release the pins connecting the strap to the Keymaze casing. Insert the tool between the strap's attachment points and the strap. You need to lever down so that the spring in the pin compresses: the strap detaches. Take the new strap and put the pin into the casing at the top of the strap. Position the pin in one of the holes in the watch. Using the tool, compress the spring in the pin and position the pin in the other hole. If the pin is correctly positioned in both holes, the strap is correctly attached. You can then pull gently on the strap to check that it is firmly attached. i If you have trouble changing the strap, we advise you to visit the workshop at your nearest DECATHLON store. A technician will help you to change it. 1.2.first use 1.2.1. Charging your Keymaze This wrist GPS uses a 750 mAh Lithium-Ion battery. You should charge it fully before first using it. -

Swim Serpentine Training Plans
Swim Serpentine Training Plans To swim one mile in a 25 metre pool you'll need to complete 64 lengths. If you're new to swimming, or are looking to improve, find out if there are any adult swimming sessions in your pool, perhaps a triathlon club or ‘Masters’ training session. These sessions are often welcoming and a great way to progress quickly. Often they also have a swimming coach on the pool side to provide set sessions for you, which can help with your technique. A swimming session should consist of a Warm up, Main Set, Contrast Set and Warm Down: Warm up: Gradually warm up your arms and lungs as you increase your pace over some short distances. Main Set: Typically a target distance broken down into shorter distances with short recovery times to help you work on your pace. For example: the target may be 1000 metres, so a simple session would be to swim 10 x 100 metres with one-minute rest between each four lengths (in a 25m pool). This way you can swim faster for the duration of the 100 metres than you would be able to over a straight 1000m swim. Contrast Set: After a main session the contrast set throws in some drills with perhaps some kick or stroke work. Warm down: A reverse of the Warm up, reduce your speed and think about technique. At other times you may go into the pool to complete a long distance swim, for example, to swim one mile non-stop and time yourself. One-mile pool training plan Train for Swim Serpentine using the following sample sets and drill suggestions. -

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. -
