 * Once the students have chosen a sport (eg swimming), they will narrow it down to a certain event, for example a 1500 metre swimmer. The students will then think of the type of training needed for this event, ie short training (anaerobic), long training (aerobic) or both forms.

 * Students initiate, plan and participate in a physical activity program designed to improve an identified area of weakness. (SACSA, KC3, KC6).
 * Students analyse the health benefits of regular vigorous activity as it relates to the many components of the mind and body functioning. (SACSA, KC1).

**MIND MAP**
Therefore students identify the key training components that they think a 1500m swimmer might need. Importantly this reflects on the previous weeks work of muscles and bones, and also introduces the new areas of energy systems. For example students can determine whether a better aerobic or anaerobic energy system is needed for a 1500m swimmer and why? = __**HOMEWORK EXERCISE:**__ =
 * Students are to research 5 training principles and write a paragraph on each.

For example: - Weight Training - Muscular Endurance - Aerobic Training - Interval Training - Core Stability - Yoga

There are many different types of training that the students can research, and give reasons for why they would be useful, and how they would be implemented.
