There are several parts to the homework which you will need to do for Monday in order to be able to do a good job on the assignment, which is designed to challenge your capacities of analysis and research.
- Read the background material to last Wednesday’s and next Monday’s class: pp. 341-342; pp. 343-351; p. 356. Bring any questions you might have on new concepts to class.
- Find and bring to class a like to a website with practical training information for your chosen sport – it should have examples of workouts for each of the training factors important to your sport (strength, endurance, speed, etc.).
- Using the Sport Discus database (you will find the link on this page) available at the Smith College Library website, find at least five, and download at least one (full text) refereed journal article on either a time-motion analysis or the physiological profile of your sport. Read the article a least once and bring any questions you have on new terms to class. Below you will find a document describing search strategies for the database.
- Find and bookmark, a YouTube video with at least 3-5 minutes of “game” action (those in a cyclical sport will need at least 2-3 different clips of different events). You will need to access these clips in Monday’s class for our time-motion task.
- Review the assignment and example assignment posted on our Exercise & Sport Physiology to make sure you understand the assignment. Bring any questions to class.
