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.

Anaerobic and Aerobic Contributions to 800 M and 8 Km Season Bests Julia C
Short Communication Anaerobic and aerobic contributions to 800 m and 8 km season bests Julia C. Blumkaitis, Christopher L. Sandefur, Christopher A. Fahs, Lindy M. Rossow Objective: Both anaerobic and aerobic factors contribute to distance running performance. How these factors relate to middle and long distance running performance in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) runners has not been previously determined. The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between anaerobic and aerobic assessments and two sea- son best race times (800 m and 8 km) in NAIA runners participating in track and cross-country at a small Midwestern American college. Design: This study employed a cross-sectional design. Data was collected from a lab visit as well as from season best running times. Methods: 11 subjects (f = 4) completed a graded exercise test for VO2max and ventilatory threshold assessment, a 40 m sprint, a standing long jump, and a vertical jump. Correlations were performed between 800 m and 8 km season bests and the afore- mentioned tests. Results: 800 m run time correlated only with VO2max (r = -.600; p = .044). 8 km run time correlated most strongly with vertical jump height (r = -.823; p = .011) but also with 40 m sprint (r = .704; p = .039) and VO2max (r = -.670; p = .047). Conclusions: Anaerobic and aerobic contributions to season best race times in NAIA runners were slightly different than expected based on previous work in different populations. This information may be useful for NAIA track and cross-country coaches interested in determining tests that best relate to running performance in their athletes. -

Further reproduction prohibited without permission. PERFORMANCE PREDICTION IN TRACK AND FIELD Ted James Dabbs, Jr., M. A. Western Michigan University, 1992 The study investigated the degree to which predicting performance in track and field relates to individual performances of track athletes. Predictive scores were determined for 26 male and 14 female athletes using prediction equations and test procedures developed by Henson, Turner, and Lacourse (1989a; 1989b). Predictive scores were compared to athletes' individual event point scores published in International Amateur A.thletic Federation (IAAF) men's and women's multi-event scoring tables ("Scoring Table for Men’s," 1962; "Scoring Table for Women's," 1971). -
