Procedure: We had to warm up according to what we had to do we were asked to warm up our quadriceps and our upper body. This test is specifically  used to train C.V endurance, Muscular Endurance, Flexibility and co-ordination.


In this training session we were as to complete an AMRAP in 3 minutes which was our working period after that we had a recovery time of 1 minute we had to complete this for 5 rounds . This type of training is more interesting at not as boring as just running.

This test is a test of C.V. Endurance, Muscular Endurance and Speed Endurance.
Periods of high intensity work interspersed with specific rest periods.


Aim: Our aim is to get above the anaerobic Threshold to test ourselves. The specific use of this task is to test our   different types of endurance to fell a 'burning' sensation. This sensation is caused by lactic acid building up in your limbs. Top athletes which train every day will be able to tolerate this 'burn' they will get used to it and be able to play through it.

Procedure: First we had to warm up. This is a continuous training exercise we have to go for a jog to raise our heart rate.

We had to run 150m each time, once we had done our 150m we were allowed to have a 45second break the girls had to do 6 runs and the boys had to 8.  


Equipment: 150m running space
                  coach
                  stopwatch


Conclusion: The fitter you are the faster you will run the the amount given.The fitter you are the quicker you              will recover and be able to run again.
