Achievement Devise strategies for a physical activity outcome.
Achievement with Merit Devise in-depth strategies for a physical activity outcome.
Achievement with Excellence· Devise comprehensive strategies for a physical activity outcome.
Student Instructions
Students are required to develop, trial, and adjust the devised strategies with the intention to achieve their physical activity outcome rather than evaluating these strategies.
A specific outcome should be considered for the physical activity rather than a range of outcomes.
The strategies most relevant to achieving the physical activity outcome should be considered. This will allow for more depth in the student responses. Strategies that have been selected and explained should match those being trialled.
Student responses must provide an explanation that includes:
clearly identifying the intended physical activity outcome
clearly identifying each strategy to be developed
how and why they are intending to apply each strategy to meet their intended physical activity outcome
specific examples of how they would apply each strategy.
It is expected that strategies are trialled and adjusted before the physical activity outcome is completed rather than evaluating these strategies after the event/experience/ performance programme.
Student responses must provide:
evidence of the strategies being trialled, with supporting examples
an explanation of how and why adjustments are required to be made to each strategy after the trialling process to achieve the intended physical activity outcome. These adjustments should align with the student’s reflection.
if no strategies require adjustment, this needs to be reflected in the explanation relating to the physical activity outcome.
Introduction (copy and paste)
Our touch team aims to compete at the touch Nationals in December 2025. This writing will focus on strategies our touch team has developed, trialled and modified over the past months. Specifically, it will look at attack, defence and yard patterns. I will also identify physiological strategies, developed and trialled, that underpin and inter-relate with the physical strategies.
Yardage pattern as a strategy
Explain why having a yardage strategy is essential and why it was the first strategy we learnt and trialled.
Explain the initial settle pattern that we trialled and used at nationals. What were the pros, what were the cons.
What adjustments have we made to the settle pattern in 2024
Evaluate if the adjustment of the settle pattern will be beneficial to achieving the goal at nationals in 2024
Defence
Explain our initial strategy on defence, which was man on man and avoiding mis-matches of boys attacking girls.
Explain the adjustment we made and why we had to adjust from man on man to corner and shut.
Evaluate the adjustments to corner shut defence and what defence is better suited to our goal at nationals.
Attacking strategies
Explain exactly what you did and how you did it. explain the adjustments you made. Why did you make them? Did they work? pros/cons. what were the outcomes. Each adjustment you discuss needs to be a new paragraph.
Psychological strategies
Explain the physiological strategies you have trialled and adjusted to improve your self-efficacy and self-esteem, or someone else's self-efficacy and self-esteem. Where you can inter-relate these to the other strategies that you are using.
Esteem
Esteem is your own judgement of your personal value or worth in a social group.
It affects what you settle for in your life, how high you set your goals and the quality of your relationships.
What does self esteem mean?
Why is having high self esteem important in our touch team?
Evaluate your self esteem in this touch team this season. - Be specific about this. Why is it like this?
What are strategies you can use to improve your self esteem in this touch team?
Efficacy
Efficacy is your own judgement of your ability to make things happen and be successful.
It affects your willingness to set BIG goals, sacriffice, overcome setbacks and how much accountability you accept for your decisions, behaviour and outcomes.
What is self efficacy?
Why is self efficacy essential to happiness and success?
Evaluate your self efficacy in relation to this touch team. - Be specific in relation to this.
What are strategies you can use to improve your self efficacy in this touch team?
Optimistic self talk
Thinking of past experiences and success
Thinking of others success
Accepting compliments people give you
Recognising when people give you compliments
Imagining and visualising success
Affirmation statements
Pick an invasion sport you are interested in and have had experience coaching or participating in.
Consider all the strategies we have learnt
Defensive
Offensive
Psychological
What strategies proved to be the most effective and why?
What were the least effective and why?
What inter-relation is their between these strategies?
Can you apply these strategies to your sporting interest and how would you do that!

Level 3
Evaluate the effectiveness of a performance improvement programme
Credits 4
The Event – Training for a purpose
Achievement Evaluate the effectiveness of a performance improvement programme.
Achievement with Merit Evaluate, in depth, the effectiveness of a performance improvement programme.
Achievement with Excellence Critically evaluate the effectiveness of a performance improvement programme.
This assessment activity requires you to evaluate the effectiveness of a six-week training programme that you will take part in.
Your evaluation, which will be in the form of a written report, will be assessed on the extent to which you critically evaluate the effectiveness of the programme. This will involve: making coherent, insightful judgements by questioning and challenging assumptions about the effectiveness of a performance improvement programme; and using those judgements to identify and justify what modification(s) may be made to improve the effectiveness of the programme. You will not be assessed on the quality of your training programme.
1 Biophysical principles may include:
· functional anatomy
· biomechanical principles
· skill learning
· sport psychology.
2 Socio-cultural factors may include:
· societal
· political
· economic
· environmental
· ethical
· cultural
· historical.
The biophysical principles and socio-cultural factors used must relate to the student’s actual programme improvement programme being evaluated. The weighting between the evidence provided for the biophysical principles and socio-cultural factors may not be equal, however evidence of both is required.
It is expected that more than one biophysical principle and more than one socio-cultural factor should be used in the evaluation. Refer to Explanatory notes 5 and 6. Methods and principles of training could be considered alongside other biophysical principles.
Student responses need to provide clearly identified judgements about the effectiveness of the performance improvement programme using relevant biophysical principles and socio-cultural factors. These judgements should be justified and supported with specific examples from the training programme experience.
For Excellence, coherent and insightful judgements should be clear, connected and show deeper understanding. The judgements should be used to make clear and reasoned modifications to improve the effectiveness of the programme.
Student responses must provide a critical evaluation that includes identifying clearly assumptions that relate to the students’ actual performance improvement programme, and these should be questioned and challenged.
The two training methods we will focus on are stretching strength and aerobic.
Stretching is essential for flexibility. It enables muscles and joints to move freely, increasing the range of motion. This allows more force to be applied to the ground in the correct direction. the ground then applies equal and opposite force, propelling you forward.
Strength also enables more force to be exerted, increasing speed.
Aerobic training enables the body to increase the amount of oxygen that enters it and is then transported to the muscles to use as energy. Being aerobically fit means you stay fresher for longer, an essential advantage in a game of touch.
The training principles will need to be applied in each of these training methods to get the best possible results.
Explain why stretching is essential for touch performance.
What type of stretching do you use? What muscles are important to stretch
How did you apply principles of training to your stretching?
What physiological adaption occurred from your stretching?
evaluate the overall effectiveness of your stretching routine?
Explain why resistance training can improve touch speed.

Discuss how many sets and how many reps of the exercises you are doing and why. - The exercises, resistance you choose and the amount of repetitions you do should be specific to your fitness goal
How did you apply principles of training to your resistance training?
What physiological adaption occurred from your resistance training?
Evaluate the overall effectiveness of your resistance training routine.
Explain the Physiological adaptions that have happened to muscles as a result of your training - Discuss the different fibre types and how your type Fast twitch A fibres adapt as a result of training - explain what is happening to your Fast Twitch A fibres
Explain how your training has been specified for your fitness goal. Explain why and how and give examples
Discuss the methods you are using to overload your aerobic systems
Explain in detail the adaptions that occur in your respiratory and circulatory systems as a result of the overload under which you place them.
Discuss in detail the advantages of the adaptions in making you a more effective touch player
Discuss the need to progress your training. How have you progressed and why is progression necessary to continue the overload?
Efficacy
Efficacy is your own judgement of your ability to make things happen and be successful.
It affects your willingness to set BIG goals, sacrifice, overcome setbacks and how much accountability you accept for your decisions, behaviour and outcomes.
