Inquire about the factors that: a) motivate them to exercise b) hinder exercise participation Answer: Spoke to a colleague at work, goes to the gym regularly for weight training and cardio workouts a) Is motivated to go each day because he likes the way he looks and feels. He knows that if he stops exercising he will start to put on weight and doesn’t want to have the troubles associated with been overweight. b) The main issue that hinders his exercise routine is long work hours. If he is working 12hr shifts, he finds it very difficult to get to the gym after work. When this happens he tries to get out early in the morning for runs with his dogs and a quick workout a home before leaving for work, but this is definitely not his preferred way of training.
Student athletes need to manage their time productively by not being able to waste the limited time they have and to plan ahead with daily schedules that organize their time as necessary to fulfill each of their responsibilities. These responsibilities include classes, study time individually and/or with a tutor, practice, individual practice and games. “On an average day for a student athlete is spent with 1 hour of lifting weights and/or individual practice and about 2 hours of mandatory practice. Without including any games and travel time, these practice times can easily add up to 15-20 hours a week. Along with these practices each day, an average student takes 4-5 classes during a semester, which add up to 10-15 hours of class time per week.” There are just as many hours spent practicing as there are spent in class.
Yes, normally I would think that this is a good number to be working for, but I would have thought that I would work off my energy than that by exercising so hard like I have this week. Currently at this time, I am exercising three days a week. I try to alternate my exercises so I do not become burned out with them so quickly. I am following an exercise

Children must be physically active at school and learn ways to stay healthy through exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. All of this can be easily accomplished with the right fitness education program in an elementary school. A quality physical education program should consist of a school physical education class, recess, classroom physical activity breaks, after-school extracurricular activities and sports, highly trained physical education teachers, and a variety of equipment and space for students to use for physical fitness (Campbell, 2009). One of the many reasons why this type of program is so important in elementary schools today is because of the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States alone. According to the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association (2009), as these obese children get older, they are more likely than their healthy peers of having or dying from chronic diseases.

I believe long jump would be a suitable sporting event for my fitness type after analysing my profile. The reasons for this is because it requires my basic strengths and uses the muscle groups that I am more than average in on the scale. The fitness components that important in this event are power, for when you jump as you need to push your body mass over a larger area and to run and gain force to allow that. The second component is balance, so that you land the jump correctly and stabile. The last component is speed as when you do this event you must have speed before reaching the jumping stage.
Three principles of training are overload, progression and recovery. It is a fact that a body must be overloaded above its normal level when exercised. This overload helps the body to adapt to the new “most-difficult” conditions. Therefore, the person’s fitness will increase. Let us say that a person can only run for 20 minutes; that person should run for 25 minutes to overload his muscles.
