Week 11 Often students struggle with role-plays due to a lack of confidence
and practice. If you have students who are unable to use this format
you can ask them to write the interview down on paper in the form
of an interview.
Week 11 This task can be used to check the student’s classroom and
research notes as they will need to review their previous work. The
more able students can peer review each other’s to highlight
strengths and areas for improvement.

Outcome 3. Be able to prepare for, and conduct, appropriate fitness tests
Within this learning outcome there is a heavy practical emphasis on the learning. The students will be expected to put into practice the knowledge they have gained from
Learning outcomes 1 and 2. It is important that the students are exposed on a practical level to as many tests as possible whilst supported by appropriate theory linked to how to
conduct a fitness test.

Week 12 This introductory activity is designed as a learning check from
Learning outcome 1 to refresh the student’s knowledge of fitness
tests. You can extend this by getting the more able students to write
an equipment list and protocol for the tests they identify.
Week 13 This practical activity supported by results analysis is designed with
differentiation in mind. The more able students will be able to tackle
questions 4 and 5. The less able students may need support on
producing the graph in respect of plotting and labelling.
Week 14 The same principles apply for the activity as with 6.14. In addition it
is vital the students have a quiet room for body composition
assessment and discussion of the results, which can sometimes be
a sensitive issue.
