Physiological Factors Affecting Performance Applied Anatomy and Physiology with Exercise Physiology With Alice Allen Monday 9th June 9.30am – 3.30pm

• A quality assured, power-packed day with 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 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?

Energy systems

• where to start and how to reduce information overload – intensity, duration and examples
• how to ensure students memorise energy system equations as they go
• practical application

EPOC

• teaching to the top on a difficult topic – extending and challenging all students
• using prior knowledge to activate new learning
• practical application tasks and memory frameworks

Break: 10:45-11.00

Session 2: 11.00-12.15 Exercise Physiology

Ergogenic aids and diet

• nutritional aids – giving them the information but doing something with it – focus on application skills
• comparing ergogenic aids – how to structure exam answers
• diet – engaging lesson hooks, justification and extension tasks – MasterChef, carousels

Aerobic capacity

• Continuous vs HIIT training
• Adaptations – using pictures to aid understanding and recall
• Exam question practice – but without the students’ realising!

Periodisation

• Streamlining cycles and phases
• Applying the information – AO2 skills

Lunch: 12.15-1pm

Session 3: 1-1.45 Making tricky physiology topics stick!

Cardiovascular system

• Intrinsic control

Respiratory Systems

• Oxyhaemoglobin dissociation

Environmental effects on body systems

• Exercise at altitude/heat

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

PNF

• Breaking it down into 3 easy steps

Plyometrics

• Understanding the process – yet to be examined!
• Comparing explosive strength weight training with plyometrics – intensity

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

Session 5: 2:45-3.15 Synoptic

• Writing responses – do it again but better
• Marking exemplar scripts – banded mark schemes

3.15-3.30 – chat will remain open
