P.E Circuits Assessment P7/S1

This week, being the last week of term, we have been completing our circuit training block with the boys in P7/S1 P.E.
The circuit is as follows:

Cardiovascular warm-up

Stretch off

Timed Circuit:
Level 1: 5 shuttle runs, 10 step-ups, 5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups, 8 'burpees' for 1 week
Level 2: 7 shuttle runs, 15 step-ups, 10 push-ups, 10 sit-ups, 12 'burpees' for 2 weeks
Level 3: 9 shuttle runs, 20 step-ups, 12 push-ups, 12 sit-ups, 15 'burpees' for 2 weeks
Level 1 Assessment

The idea of the block is that the boys get a time each week for their own performance. The circuit builds up over the block and in the final assessment week we go back to the first level. All the boys notice an improvement in their time and hopefully their level of fitness has improved over the 6 weeks. At the same time we have been discussing diet, exercise and sleep as components of fitness.

The block has been as great success, all the boys improved their times and tried very hard. Euan S1 received a brick for his house for his efforts in the circuit assessment week.

Well done!

Here are some snapshot videos of the boys doing the assessment circuit.
