Week 13 You can extend this practical activity by having different testers and
looking at the reliability of the results. There is also scope to look at
the correlation between distances for the more able students.
Week 16 This list can either be done on an individual basis or in small groups
based on the knowledge and experience of the students. This list
can become a central document that all students can use in their
assessments.
Week 15 This task can be used as either as a discussion task or research
task for homework for the more able students. To complete this task
they will need a good level of Exercise Physiology knowledge. You
may want to link into the physiological units to support their
learning.

Outcome 4. Be able to analyse the results of fitness tests
In this final outcome of the unit the students will need to complete the evaluation process and analyse fitness testing results. They will be expected to use normative data for the
specific population and provide feedback to the athlete, client or individual they have tested with consideration of strengths and areas for improvement.
6.19 Introductory
activity – the
use of
normative
data
6.20
Case study –
verbal and
written
feedback
6.21 Role-play –
Verbal
feedback
about the
outcomes of
assessment
and an
estimate of
levels of
fitness
Week 16 This discussion can be supported by work performed within
Learning outcomes 1 and 3. For example, when assessing
individuals’ fitness levels in the practicals you should highlight
issues surrounding normative data.
Week 18 To aid the students with this case study you can give it to them for
homework so that they bring the information to the session, which
can lead to a discussion thereby supporting their knowledge. You
will be able to use this case study for a full session and it covers a
range of topics and wider issues.
– – 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.
