Homework 2: Warm Up
Before we take part in sport, we must warm our bodies up. There are three stages of a warmup:
1 – Pulse raiser, we need to increase the oxygen that travels around out body. Our hearts must
work harder for this to happen.
2 – Stretches these should be dynamic (moving), it is important to stretch our muscles before we
exercise to prevent injury.
3 – Sport Specific, this gets our body prepared to take part in the activity.
Plan a 3 stage warm up for a sport of your choice:
1 - Plan pulse raiser (this should last about 2 minutes). What would you do to get your heart rate
up?

Homework 3: Cool Down
Cooling down after exercise helps our body recover by allowing our heart rate to gradually
decrease back to its normal rate and preventing injury to our muscles.

We cooldown after ____________ to help reduce our _______________ back to its normal rate,
by doing a gentle job gradually slowing down to a walk. As part of our cool down we _______ to

Homework 7: Muscles
Now you have learned about several muscles, let’s apply them in sporting situation.
Use three of the muscles and explain when they would be moved in a specific sporting
movement
e.g. -The gastrocnemius is used when jumping up from the group when heading a ball in football
-The triceps is used when shooting a basketball.
Your turn.
Choose from: Biceps, Abdominals, Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Pectorals

3. How long should each stretch be held within a cool down?
4. Name the four muscles found in the upper body

Homework 10: The cardiovascular system
The Cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood
Complete the sentence using these words:
blood arteries muscle oxygen veins waste products
Your heart is really a . It's located a little to the left of the middle of your
chest, and it's about the size of your fist.

The average person’s heart beats at 72 beats per minute whilst at rest (sitting or lying down).
To find your pulse place your fingers on your wrist like the diagram shows:
Sit down: Find your heart rate and count how many beats you feel over a minute:
What is your resting heart rate:
What happens to your heart rate when you begin to exercise?
