Assignment Brief Introduction: This unit will enable you to provide advice on lifestyle improvement and plan a health-related fitness programme based on an understanding of the fitness requirements and major body systems in preparation for entry into the public services. Scenario: You are a fitness instructor for one of the UPS’s. You have been asked to produce information and guidance for new and existing recruits on how to measure current fitness levels and develop awareness of the body systems to help with training. You also need to give advice on lifestyle factors and strategies to improve overall health and fitness. Learner Tasks: 3 Hull College School of Sport, Public Services Travel & Tourism
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma Public Services APL Accreditation for Prior Learning: Unit 6 Fitness Testing: Collect Tasks 4 (Training cards) Task 2 (Training Diary) and Task 3 (Six week plan) from unit 6 and submit as part of this assignment. P1: Describe a fitness assessment for each of the major components of fitness (Task 4) P3: Undertake a fitness activity, (Task 2) record and identify the short-term effects of exercise on the major human body systems P6: Plan a six week health-related physical activity programme based on personal results (Task 3)
P2: Describe the structure and function of the muscular-skeletal, cardiovascular and respiratory system
Task 1: What’s in it and what does it do?
Attend the classroom sessions and complete the diagrams of the major human body systems to display to UPS members. Your diagrams should be clear and well presented to show how the systems work and what’s where (structure). Research and answer questions on the four body systems to complete a simple well referenced resource that describes to recruits the function of the main body systems. Completed diagrams and 4 answered questions
Date Due: w/c 13/10/14
P3: Undertake a fitness activity, record and identify the short-term effects of exercise on the major human body systems M2: Explain the short and long term effects of exercise on the major human body systems
Task 2: Why should I bother exercising?
Following completion of your body system resources produce a flow chart that records and identifies the short term immediate effects (there and then) of exercise on the major body systems. For higher grades explain the short term effects of exercise on the body systems (giving reasons why it happens). Look in detail at longer term effects (days, weeks, months and years) on each of the systems. Flow chart and additional information
Date Due: w/c 03/11/14
4 Hull College School of Sport, Public Services Travel & Tourism
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma Public Services P3: Undertake a fitness activity, record and identify the short-term effects of exercise on the major human body systems M1: Explain the results of the fitness assessment and measure against relevant public service entrance tests D1: Evaluate results of the fitness assessment, analyse strengths and recommended improvements
Task 3: Evaluate you now and your performance
How are you doing now you are in year two? Look at your results for the fitness tests completed and compare to year one. For higher grades you will need to produce a short bullet pointed report which explains your performance over the two years and relates your results to the UPS. For top marks evaluate your results and compare to norms analysing your strengths and areas to improve for each test. Fitness test results and bullet point report
Date Due: w/c 17/11/14
P4: Describe the lifestyle factors that can effect health M3: Explain the effects of identified lifestyle factors on health and fitness, when applying for public service and long-term employment D2: Evaluate the effects of identified lifestyle factors on health and fitness, when applying for public service and long-term employment
Task 4: Mind how you go
Complete a PowerPoint with accompanying notes that could be used as a resource for other fitness instructors in the UPS. The PP needs to look in detail at Lifestyle factors that can affect recruits when applying for and during their long-term employment within their chosen UPS. Your presentation need to be clear and simple to follow for another instructor to pick up and use. The Lifestyle factors you must cover are; Physical Activity, Alcohol, Smoking, Stress/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Drugs, Diet and Personal Hygiene . For higher grades you need to include information to allow the instructor to explain the factors (research, evidence, references) and evaluate giving a balanced argument and coming to a conclusion. Finally remember this presentation is for squaddies and sailors so make it interesting, eye-catching, fun and clear without too much information on the slides. Power Point Presentation
Date Due: w/c 01/12/14
P5: Provide lifestyle improvement strategies that can have a positive effect on health
5 Hull College School of Sport, Public Services Travel & Tourism
BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma Public Services M4: Explain lifestyle improvement strategies to justify their positive effect on health
Task 5: How and why do you make positive changes?
For each of the lifestyle factors identified in the previous task you need to provide a range of strategies to have a positive effect on the factor e.g. Physical activity (ways to increase physical activity levels such as walking, stair climbing, joining a gym). You will do this as a class to identify a large range of strategies. For the higher grades this information will need to be explained in more detail to give guidance and justify the positive effect on health. You will need to look at each lifestyle factor and explain at least two strategies which would improve the factor justifying their positive effects. Class display/Spider diagrams and report
