Continuous Training
200m Alternates
Run 200m at a slightly faster pace than your fastest 2.4km lap time, then slow down
so that it takes you 10 seconds longer to complete the next 200m. Continue
alternating at this speed until you complete 8 laps.
Fast-Finish
Run the first 1.2km at a pace youd do on an easy run. For the second 1.2km, pick up
the pace by 10 seconds per lap. Once you get used to this, 2.4km will seem very,
very short.
Training To Improve 2.4km Run
Training 2
400m Repetitions
Set a target to complete 6 sets. Go all out for every 400m set, and take a 1 to 1 rest
ratio in between each set to let your heart rate settle but not too much you go into
recovery mode. The idea is to run with depleted legs and continue pushing when the
going gets tough.
200m fartlek
Fartleks is Swedish for speed play, which means that you alternate between running
slow and fast. Run 200m at a fast and sustainable pace, transit to a 200m slow jog,
and then switch back to the fast 200s.
100m strides
Strides are as important as those long 400m repetitions. You can easily slot them in
after every 3km easy run, as this is a workout that simulates the last lap of the 2.4km
run. Put in 5 sets of 100m after your easy runs, and making sure to walk in between
these sets as this is an explosive workout meant to tire you out
Fitness Testing
Cooper Test
Tests VO2 max
12 min walk/ run
Types of Fitness Tests
Beep Test
Measures endurance and aerobic energy
Maximal Test, for fit people.
20m shuttle run
Run to and from each cone according to recorded beeps
Interval between beeps get shorter = run faster
Types of Fitness Tests
Step Test
Assesses your fitness level based on how quickly your heart
rate recovers after exercise.
The fitter you are, the quicker your heart rate will return to
normal after exercise.
Studies have shown that better results can be obtained with 2 or 3 sets of
each exercise
Weight Training
Weeks 1-4
The beginning of this workout plan will focus on shedding fat, building lean muscle and
increasing your endurance.
Monday: Toning and Cardio
5 minute warm-up on cardiovascular equipment of your choice

intensity level of 6. This should cause slightly labored breathing, but you are able to
maintain this pace for some time.
5 minute cool-down
3 sets of bicep curls
3 sets of tricep pulldowns with rope
3 sets of lateral pulldowns on cable machine
3 sets of front raises with dumbbells

HPB Guidelines for Moderate Aerobic Training
The HPB PA Guidelines promote a culture of active living including lifestyle, aerobic and
strength activities which can be done at home, at work, during commuting and during
leisure time.
To achieve substantial health benefits, the minimum physical activity session should be
at least 10 minutes. The 10-minute sessions can be accumulated throughout the week
to achieve 150 minutes of moderate intensity, or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity
physical activity a week. (One minute of vigorous intensity physical activity = about two
minutes of moderate intensity physical activity).
A moderate intensity aerobic activity causes a noticeable increase in breathing and heart
rate. For instance, adults should still be able to talk but do not have enough breath to
sing while engaging in brisk walking at low-impact aerobics at 5-7 km/h, or dancing, etc.
A vigorous intensity aerobic activity causes a large increase in breathing and heart rate.
For instance, adults should still be able to say a few words but are not out of breath
while engaging in jogging, swimming, etc. (Please refer to HPB for details and examples
of moderate- and vigorous- aerobic physical activity.)
INJURIES
Wound, an injury in which skin is torn, cut or punctured (an open wound),
or where blunt force trauma causes a contusion (a closed wound). In
pathology, it specifically refers to a sharp injury which damages the
dermis of the skin.

TYPES OF INJURIES
Re-Injuries
Recurrence of an injury before or after it has healed
Can occur from an Acute or Overuse injury
SPORTS INJURIES
Sport Injuries & Rehabilitation
Sports injuries can be broadly classified as either traumatic or overuse injuries.
Traumatic injuries are most common in contact sports such as soccer, rugby and
basketball because of the dynamic and high collision nature of these sports.
The most common traumatic sports injuries are knee and ankle ligament sprains, calf
and hamstring muscle strains, quadriceps muscle contusions (dead leg), Achilles tendon
injuries, fractures and dislocations. Sports injuries left untreated can lead to further more
complex and chronic complications down the line so it is important to seek help.
Sports injuries cause damage to the soft tissues which then release chemicals and
initiate an inflammatory response. Small blood vessels are damaged, producing
bleeding within the tissue. In the bodys normal reaction, a small blood clot is formed in
order to stop this bleeding and from this clot fibroblasts begin the healing process by
laying down scar tissue.
Sport Injuries & Rehabilitation
The inflammatory stage is therefore the first phase of healing. However, too much of an
inflammatory response in the early stages can mean too much scar tissue is formed and
a return to sporting activity is delayed.
If too much scar tissue is laid down during healing, there is a loss of movement and
weakness which predisposes the athlete to future injury.

ADVENTURE EXPERIENTIAL ACTIVITY
RISK ASSESSMENTS
Identifying risks
To deal with risk in an activity, you must first identify the hazards. Having
identified the hazards, you must then identify the causal factors which lead
to those risks becoming a reality. Causal factors are dangers, and can be
grouped into three key areas: people, equipment and environment. Some of
the factors in these three areas which you as a leader need to consider
include:
Peopleskills, knowledge, level of confidence, fitness, moods, fears,
tiredness, experience.
Equipmentclothing, tents, skis, communication devices, ropes, vehicles.
Environmentweather, terrain, remoteness, snow conditions, shelter.
Origin of Ancient Olympic
The statue of Zeus at Olympia was counted as one of the seven wonders of
the ancient world.
WHY DID THE ANCIENT OLYMPICS END? The Romans invaded Olympia in 85 BC. The Games
continued under Roman rule, but were disrupted by a Germanic invasion around AD 300.
The Games became part of a pagan festival until the Christian emperor Theodosius I ordered the
closure of all pagan events in 393.
Although the ancient Games were staged in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BC through 393 AD, it
took 1503 years for the Olympics to return.
The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The man responsible for its
rebirth was a Frenchman named Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who presented the idea in 1894.

ADVANTAGES OF SWIMMING & RUNNING
Swimming
Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body
against the resistance of the water.
Swimming
Drowning can happen any time and surprisingly even in shallow water. Knowing what you are required
to do to rescue a drowning person safely helps save lives.
Dial 995
Call the rescue emergency number, can also scream to attract the attraction of people who can join to
assist in rescuing the victim.
Reach
quite risky and a lot of care should be taken. You should ensure that you are in a safe position and
cannot be pulled in by the victim; lying flat on the floor and stretch your hand towards the victim or
use objects.
Throw
Most of the swimming areas have safety rings that are attached to a long rope. Throw the ring towards
the victim and ask him/her to grab it then pull it towards the shore.
After the rescue
Give first aid to the victim immediately after rescuing him or her. Feel for the pulse on the neck side or
the wrist, if he is still breathing feel for the air coming through the nose and ensure it is open.
