The aim of this unit is to give learners the opportunity to explore the essential fitness requirements and training methods used to achieve successful sports performance.
Learners will explore why certain physical and skill-related fitness components are necessary to achieve excellence in specific sports. Learners will also gain an understanding of why different sports performers require different training methods in order to reach their full potential.
The unit also explores lifestyle and psychological factors and the effect they can have on sports training and performance. Learners will be able to investigate their own levels of fitness by participating in a series of fitness tests.
Unit 1 Fitness testing and training is a mandatory unit that must be taken as part of the BTEC Certificate, Extended Certificate or Diploma in Sport. This is a 5-credit unit and can be taught in 30 guided learning hours.
On completion of this unit, learners should:LO1 know the fitness and training requirements necessary to achieve excellence in a selected sportLO2 know the lifestyle factors that affect sports training and performanceLO3 be able to assess their own level of fitnessLO4 know the effects of psychological factors on sports training and performance.

1. Also known as cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiorespiratory endurance or aerobic fitness. It is the ability of the cardiorespiratory system to efficiently supply nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity. VO2 max (ml/kg/min).
2. Skinfold testing using skinfold calipers. Standard protocol is followed and certain sites are selected depending on gender. A nomogram can be used to determine the percent body fat of the individual.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), which is conducted using a BIA machine. Electrodes are placed at specific sites on the hand and foot of the individual and a weak electrical current is passed through the body. The higher the resistance reading, the higher the percent body fat of the individual.
3. Balance, power and reaction time.
4. A positive form of stress that can occur when a sports performer enjoys testing their own ability and pushing themselves to reach their full potential.
5. When someone smokes, carbon monoxide enters the body and this results in less oxygen being available for working muscles. Smoking can reduce aerobic endurance levels by up to 10 per cent, reducing efficiency.
6. Fartlek training involves varying pace, from a fast sprint to a slow jog, and is beneficial in sports that involve using both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. ‘Fartlek’ comes from the Swedish word for ‘speedplay’ and is a training method that is used to enhance both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.
7. Any three from: liver disease, certain forms of cancer, fluid retention, infertility, hardening of arteries, skin disorders.
8. It’s important to have documented evidence that shows that participants have been consulted and provided with all the necessary information to undertake the test. Informed consent confirms that the participant is able to follow the test method, knows exactly what is required of them during testing, has fully consented to their participation in the fitness tests, knows that they can ask any questions relating to the tests, understands that they can withdraw their consent at any time.
9. Intrinsic motivation is the desire to challenge yourself and the enjoyment gained from sports participation and your sporting achievements. Examples: to develop personal fitness, or to get a personal best.
Extrinsic motivation relates to receiving external rewards. Examples: receiving praise from a sports coach or winning a trophy.

Support for Assessment activitiesCriteria P1, M1, P2 – Fitness and training for sporting excellence
Meet the pass criteria and:
M1: explain the fitness requirements for achieving excellence in a selected sport. Learners should think about both the physical and skill-related components of fitness. They need to explain how and why the fitness components are needed for successful performance, providing examples to show what they mean.
Criterion P3 – Exploring lifestyle factors
P3: describe four lifestyle factors that can affect sports training and performance. Learners should outline their four factors and then point out how each factor can affect sports training and performance – examples should be provided.
Criteria P4, P5, M2, D1 – Assessing fitness levels
Meet the pass criteria and:
M2: explain their test results and fitness levels, identifying strengths and areas for improvement. Direct learners to the published data tables in the Student book (pages XX – XX) to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. Encourage learners to use the full references for the data tables (Activity Sheet 9). They should compare their results to normative data tables and data for elite performers, pointing out the similarities and differences. Learners need to explain in detail what their test results mean, giving reasons.
D1: evaluate their test results and personal level of fitness, considering the level required to achieve excellence in a selected sport. Learners need to review in detail their personal fitness results, bringing the information together to form a conclusion. Learners should give evidence for their views. To consider the level required to achieve excellence in sport, direct learners to look at their own data results versus data results for elite performers. Learners should relate their fitness results to their sport and consider what improvements are needed to enhance their own performance.
Criteria P6, M3, D2 – Exploring psychological factors
Meet the pass criteria and:
M3: explain the effects that psychological factors can have on sports training and performance. Learners need to provide a detailed account of the ‘how’ and ‘why’, and give their reasons.
D2: analyse the effects of psychological factors on sports training and performance. Learners should give careful consideration to how motivation, personality, concentration, arousal and anxiety can affect sports training and performance. They should provide details of how they are related and how they can contribute to an effect on sports training and performance. The short-term and longer-term effects should be included.

Definitions/descriptions: 1. BMI: Body Mass Index, A measure of body composition. Used to check if a person is overweight (1
point).
The test can determine if a person is at increased risk of developing Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and other cardiovascular diseases. BMI is measured in kg/m² and desirable BMI is 20-25 kg/m² (2 points).
2. Calibration: checking the accuracy of fitness testing equipment before it is used, by comparing it to a recognised standard (1 point). If equipment isn’t correctly calibrated it could lead to inaccurate (invalid) results (2 points).
3. Validity: how accurate results are (1 point). This means whether the results recorded from the fitness test are a true reflection of what you are actually trying to measure (2 points).
4. BIA: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), conducted using a BIA machine and is a method that can be used to determine percent body fat (1 point). Electrodes are placed at specific sites on the hand and foot of the individual and a weak electrical current is passed through the body. The higher the resistance reading, the higher the percent body fat of the individual (2 points).
5. Reliability: the ability to carry out the same fitness test method again and expect the same results (1 point). Reliability is repeatability – the consistency of results (2 points).
6. Consent: participants need to be consulted and given all the necessary information before they undertake any fitness tests and their consent is documented using a consent form (1 point). Informed consent confirms that the participant is able to follow the test method, knows exactly what is required of them during testing, has fully consented to their participation in the fitness tests, knows that they can ask any questions relating to the tests and understands that they can withdraw their consent at any time (2 points).
