The learner must prepare a 6-week fitness training programme for a selected individual. The learner must collect any information they need to plan the programme, including the performer’s: aims, goals and targets, current stage of performance cycle, medical information, injuries, current activity levels and lifestyle.
The learner must plan the 6-week programme using the following principles of training overload, specificity, progression, individual differences, variation and reversibility.
The learner must consider FITT (frequency, intensity, time, type) when planning the training sessions.
The learner must plan the 6-week programme to fit the individual’s macrocycle. The 6-week plan should fit the individual’s mesocycle and the learners must provide details of the individual’s micro cycles.
The learner must make reference to research within their training programme and should justify the content of the training programme. This could include their use of research on the principles of training and the FITT principles and how it has informed the structure of their training programme, as well as the training methods used within the training programme.
The learner must monitor the individual’s progress during the 6-week programme. A training diary could be used to log the individual’s progression, motivation levels and goals achieved.
