Physiological Factors Affecting Performance Applied Anatomy and Physiology with Exercise Physiology With Alice Allen and Wes Davis – Wednesday 12th June – 9.30am – 3.30pm

Tutors: Alice Allen and Wes Davis (see Allice and Wes’s profiles at end)

• A quality assured, power-packed day with a supremely experienced and
  knowledgeable presenters
• increased knowledge and confidence – whether starting out or upskilling
• stacks of powerful tips, tools, techniques and ideas to equip, motivate and inspire
• links to exam questions and essential exam technique throughout

Session 1: 9.30-10.45 (ALICE) Applied A&P:
Muscular system

• Movement analysis – simplifying and reducing the volume of content
• Fibre types – modelling how to apply the information
• Eccentric contraction essentials – getting students’ heads around it!
• Exam question practice – what’s the question?
  Cardiovascular system
• Conduction cycle – breaking it down into small steps and checking for understanding as you go
• Neural control of HR – diagrams which will be repeated
• Exam question practice – retail therapy
  Energy systems
• Starting point – intensity, duration and examples
• Demonstrating understanding – card sorts with verbal explanations, connectives game
• Making connections – 4×4 post it grids

Break: 10:45-11.00

Session 2: 11.00-12.00 (Alice) Exercise Physiology
Ergogenic aids and diet

• Giving them the information but doing something with it – HGH vs anabolic steroids
• Justification and extension tasks – MasterChef, carousels
  Aerobic capacity
• Tests to evaluate aerobic capacity – comparing these
• Adaptations – use of pictures
• Exam question practice – but without the students’ realising!
  Flexibility
• Types and factors affecting – ‘waking up’ the right neurons
• Applying the information – AO2 skills

Lunch: 12.00-12.45

Session 3: 12.45 -1.45 (Wes) Making tricky physiology topics stick!
Muscular system

• Motor unit and muscle contraction – using the MAN-SAYS- ALL framework to provide a hierarchical response

Respiratory System

• Gaseous exchange – using the GASPDD framework to recall and apply knowledge
• Mechanics of breathing – exam technique when moving from rest to exercise – I do, we do, you do

Energy for exercise:

• Energy systems – using the FAAST I/D framework to provide a streamlined approach
• Energy continuum – Using the FIDR framework to explain the interplay between energy systems during intermittent exercise

Strength and flexibility

• Making adaptations to training accessible for all students

Stretch / Screen Break: 1:45-1.50

Session 4: 1.50-2.35 Making training types accessible (Alice )

Aerobic capacity

• Continuous vs HIIT training
• Adaptations – using pictures to aid understanding and recall
  PNF
• Breaking it down into 3 easy steps
  Plyometrics
• Understanding the process – yet to be examined!
• Comparing explosive strength weight training with plyometrics – intensity
  Weight training
• New terms and numbers – summary tables

Stretch / Screen Break: 2:35-2:45

Session 5: 2:45-3.15 Synoptic (WES and ALICE)

• Applying the Assessment Objectives (AO1, AO2, AO3) – apples and pears
• Writing responses – do it again but better
• Marking exemplar scripts – banded mark schemes

3.15-3.30 – chat will remain open
