A sustained running test where students run shuttles between markers for 5 minutes, focusing on pacing and endurance

Teams of 2-4 students complete the multi-stage fitness test by taking turns running shuttles, requiring teamwork, communication, pacing strategy, and shared cardiovascular effort

A progressive warm-up combining dynamic movements and stretches while monitoring heart rate changes to understand cardiovascular response to exercise

Progressive cardiovascular warm-up incorporating jogging, dynamic stretches (arm circles, high knees, butt kicks), walking lunges, leg swings, and ball familiarisation activities to prepare the body for vigourous circuit training

A progressive warm-up sequence that prepares the body for circuit training through pulse-raising and dynamic stretching

Strategic team relay where students complete a circuit of five fitness component stations, assigning team members based on their tested strengths for optimal performance

Students analyse their fitness test results by comparing to normative data, identify personal strengths and development areas, and discuss which fitness components are important for different sports

An 8-station circuit combining football skills with fitness exercises, using 30-second work and rest intervals to develop sport-specific conditioning

Structured assessment activity where students complete self-assessment and peer assessment using a Head/Hands/Heart matrix with four performance levels (Emerging, Developing, Secure, Mastering) covering knowledge, physical skills, and attitude

Progressive cardiovascular endurance test where students run 20m shuttles in time with audio beeps that progressively increase in speed until they can no longer maintain the pace

Progressive maximal cardiovascular endurance test involving 20-metre shuttle runs at increasing speeds until unable to maintain pace

A cognitive activity where students analyse, evaluate, and design sport-specific circuit training programmes applying principles of overload, progression, and specificity

Standardised fitness test measuring leg power through maximum horizontal jump distance from standing position, with accurate measurement and recording

Students perform circuit training sessions designed by peers, rotating through 6-10 stations targeting different fitness components with work/rest intervals, while developing leadership and performance skills

Student-led cool-down combining static stretching for flexibility development with structured reflection on unit learning and SMART goal setting for future fitness development

Student-led cool-down featuring gradual cardiovascular reduction through gentle jogging and walking, followed by static development stretches for major muscle groups (overhead stretch, quadriceps, hamstrings, shoulders) to aid recovery

Students work in pairs to create and demonstrate their own warm-up sequence to prepare the class for physical activity

Small groups plan and lead warm-up routines for the class, developing leadership skills and movement knowledge

Small groups design and lead their own warm-ups incorporating pulse raisers and dynamic stretches while demonstrating leadership skills
