Fitness Weight Training: the use of progressive resistance exercises to improve performance in a sport or activity. Weight lifting is a sport that can be recreational or competitive.

Terminology Repetitions: the number of times the resistance is moved through the whole range of motion. Training Load: the amount of weight being used for a specific exercise. Circuit: a series of exercises done in succession for a specific training purpose. Range of motion: when a joint of the body moves from full flexion to full extension. Repetition maximum: the maximum amount of weight that can be lifted for a certain amount of repetitions. Most programs use a percentage of this weight as the training weight/load.

Principles Overload: as a muscle increases in size and strength, the load against which the muscle works must get progressively greater. Adaptation: the body will respond and adapt to the kind and amount of physical demand put on it. Specificity: the effects of exercise are specific to the type of activity engaged in. RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION (RPE): A 1-10 Scale used to show how hard one feels that they worked out during a session

Physical Qualities Developed by Weight Training Strength: the ability to exert force, usually done with heavy weight and low reps. Power: the rate at which force is produced, usually done with a combination of fast and heavy repetitions. Endurance: the ability to perform a movement many times without undue fatigue, using low weight and high repetitions. Flexibility: the ability to move a joint or a series of joints through a full range of motion, which should be carried out with all weight lifting exercises.

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Aerobic: activities, such as walking, running, and stretching, which require a constant supply of oxygen and focus on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. Anaerobic: activities, such as heavy weight training and sprinting, which require so much oxygen that they cannot be carried out for long periods of time.

FITT Principle Frequency: how often an exercise is performed (3 times per week) Intensity: how hard the person works (incline level on a treadmill) Time: how long the exercise is performed (20 minutes) Type: the specific exercise performed (bench press)

Crossfit A form of fitness training, developed by Greg Glassman, to prepare an individual for any type of physical demand. It provides the individual with a variety of high intensity, functional movements across a broad range of muscles and muscle groups. CrossFit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy sport (kettle bell training), calisthenics, Strongman, and other exercises. Participants work to a Workout of the Day (WOD) at their own ability level, while being constantly pushed to improve their muscular strength and muscular endurance. The benefits of Crossfit are an increased knowledge base regarding safe, effective, and efficient training sessions. Also, CrossFit can be competitive against yourself or others, should you choose. Yoga The practice of Yoga began in India and aims to connect one’s spirit, mind, and body. Yoga postures are used to reduce stress, strengthen the body, and help alleviate health problems. There are many different forms of Yoga practiced in modern society. Yoga is a form of lifetime exercise that can be practiced by anyone, regardless of gender, age, fitness level, etc.

Football Objective: To carry or pass the ball into the opponent’s end zone, while preventing the opponent

from taking the ball into the end zone that your team defends. Teams: Each team will have 6 players. On the offensive team there will be at least 2 players on the

line of scrimmage. The offensive linemen are not allowed to move until the ball is snapped. The defense can line up any way they wish and move around before the ball is snapped.

Safety: No charging, no pushing, and no tackling. The ball carrier may not run through a defensive player, they must evade the tackler.

PositionsQuarterback: Leader of the offense. Decides what plays will be run and tells the other players. Offensive Linemen: The offensive blocker who may only use the standing block (feet in contact with

the ground), with hands in contact with the body. No part of the blockers’ body, except feet will be in contact with the ground.

Running Back: Player who runs out of the backfield. They run, block, and receive passes. Receiver: Runs pass patterns to receive passes and block during running plays. Defense: Defensive players are restricted in the use of hands to pushing the shoulders and body of

blockers. Slapping and striking are not allowed. No Charging, Pushing, or Tackling! Once a defensive player touches the ball carrier, with two hands, the play is over.

TerminologyBlocking: Offensive skill used by a player to protect a teammate. Center Snap: Putting the ball in play from the line of scrimmage after a down. Conversion: After a team scores a touchdown they can try for extra points. The offensive team has

one down to score from the 3-yard line; 2 pts for a run and 1 pt for a pass. Down: One complete play or attempt to gain yards on the ground. Offense has 4 downs minimum. End Zone: The area between the goal line and the end line, where all points are awarded. Forward Pass: A throw that moves the ball towards the opponents goal. Handoff: Exchange of the ball that is not airborne, instead it is handed directly to the running back. Holding: Grasping of a players clothes or body during play. Huddle: Group of players on the field conferring between downs. Interception: When the defense catches a pass that was intended for the offense. Lateral Pass: A pass throw to the side or behind the thrower. Line of Scrimmage: Imaginary line across the width of the field that marks where the previous play

ended; marking where the next play must start. Pass Interference: After the ball has left the hands of the quarterback, the defensive player pushes,

blocks, or holds an opponent to prevent them from receiving a pass. Penalty Values: Off sides, Holding, Illegal motion = 5 yd.; Pass Interference = from the spot of the

foul; and Unnecessary roughness = 15 yd. Safety: A score counting as 2 points made by tagging a ball carrier behind the goal line that the ball

carrier is defending. Throw Off: The throw used to start each half of the game, or to start play after points have been

scored. The scoring team throws to the team that was scored upon. Touchdown: A score counting 6 points made by carrying the ball over the goal line or throwing the

ball to a teammate in the end zone.

FRISBEE Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-moving, competitive, non-contact sport played by two seven-person teams. The object of the game is to gain points by scoring goals. The Frisbee may only be passed, and a goal is scored when a player successfully passes the Frisbee to a teammate in the endzone which that team is attacking. Each goal is worth one point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. The official Frisbee of Ultimate Frisbee is the Wham-O 175g.

The ideals of SPORTSMANSHIP and fair play (Spirit of the Game) are the utmost importance in the game. Teams will call their own fouls and infractions of the rules. Contact is not allowed. A foul occurs when contact is made. When a foul disrupts possession, the play resumes as if possession was retained. If the pass is completed then the foul is automatically declined and play proceeds without stopping. If the player committing the foul disagrees with the foul call, the play is redone. Players are responsible for their own foul and lines calls. Players resolve their own disputes. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players and adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of the game. BEGINNING PLAY: The game begins with the defensive team throwing off to offensive team. The team throwing off must all be on or behind their goal line. The person doing the throw-off must call out FRISBEE before releasing the disc do as to let the other team know to be ready. The receiving team must be at least behind the midway line of the field. The receiving team has the option of catching the Frisbee or allowing it to fall to the ground. The team that threw off is not allowed to touch the disc until the offensive team does. The first point of contact with the ground is the spot where the team may start their play. If the receiving team attempts to catch the Frisbee and then drops it the team that threw off will gain possession at that point. If the Frisbee goes out of bounds the receiving team will bring the Frisbee perpendicular to the out of bounds line and begin play there. Do not play out of bounds. GAME PLAY: The Frisbee may be passed in any direction. However, handoffs are not allowed. A person passing the Frisbee may catch his or her own throw only if another player has touched the Frisbee while it is in the air. In order to score a player must have established contact with both feet in the endzone prior to catching the Frisbee. The lines are considered to be in bounds. Teams will switch ends of the field after each goal. No player may walk, run or take steps while in possession of the Frisbee. The momentum of a player, however, must be taken into consideration. When a player takes too many steps to stop, a foul is called and that player must return to the point where the catch was made. This is not a turnover. A person’s momentum may never carry them out of bounds or into the endzone. DEFENSE: Only one defensive player may guard the person with the Frisbee. The defensive player must be at least one arms’ length away from the offensive player. The Frisbee may not be wrenched or knocked away from the offensive player. The defensive team gains control of the Frisbee whenever the offensive teams throw is incomplete, knocked down intercepted, or goes out of bounds. Stalling is also a turnover. The defensive player must call out stalling and then count to Ten, if the Frisbee has not been released it will go to the defense.

Soccer History

The original form of soccer began in 1609, during the Roman times. The United States was the first British colony to play soccer style games. In 1827, Harvard began an annual intramural futbol contest. This game, however, was nothing like the modern game of soccer that we know today. The modern game originated in England in the early 1830’s. Soccer was seen as a good way to release tension and stress, to keep kids out of trouble, and to help them learn the value of teamwork. In 1862, the Oneida Soccer Club from Boston was the first club to have official rosters and play games. The first intercollegiate game was played on November 7, 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton. This game was very different than the modern game of soccer. There were 25 players on the field, a 24- foot wide goal, all parts of the body were legal, and the first team to reach 6 points won. Rutgers won this game 6-4. The English Futbol Association established a set of rules in 1871, which are still used today. The United States first competed in Olympic soccer in 1904.

Definitions Control Dribble: a slower, closer type of dribbling using few steps between touches. Corner Kick: used to put the ball back into play when the defense kicks the ball over the end line. Dribbling: a way of advancing the ball on the ground by using different parts of the feet, while maintaining control.

Goal Kick: used to put the ball back into play when the offense kicks the ball over the end line. Heading the ball: can be used to shoot, receive a pass, or to pass the ball. Midfielders: players who are located in between the fullbacks and the forwards. Passing: the motion of advancing the ball to a space or teammate in the air or on the ground. Red Card: given for major infractions, the player is ejected from the game. Shooting: the act of striking the ball towards the goal with the intention of scoring. Speed Dribble: a faster dribble that uses more steps in between touches of the ball. Sweeper: the player who plays directly in front of the goalkeeper. Tackling: denying an opponent the ball to regain control. Throw-in: used to put the ball back into play when it goes out over the sideline. Trapping: a way of controlling the ball that is in the air, on the ground, or bouncing; using the foot, thigh, head, or chest. Yellow Card: given for minor infractions, player must come off of the field but may re-enter the game.

TENNIS History The game of tennis is the same everywhere, however, the name given to the game differs in different countries. In Great Britain it is called Real Tennis; in Australia it is called Royal Tennis; and in France it is called Jeu de Paume (game of the hand). The various names throw light on the development of the game. Tennis originated in France before the 12th century. The game became very popular and in the 13th century it is said that there were as many as 1,800 courts in France. Mary Outerbridge brought the game to the U.S. from Bermuda in 1874. The first National Championship tennis tourney for the United States was held in 1874 in Newport, Rhode Island. Racquet

Head: part of the racquet above the throat that includes the frame and strings Face: the hitting surface of the racquet Throat: part of the frame just below the racquet head Handle: the part of the racquet gripped by the hand Sweet Spot: center of the racquet face, where the ball should be hit

Grips Eastern Grip: Used for forehand stroke and the serve (V of hand on midline) Continental Grip: Used for the backhand stroke (knuckles on midline)

Service - Both feet must be behind the baseline, inside of the center mark, and inside of the singles sideline - Must toss the ball into the air and strike it before it hits the ground - Must serve to the diagonal service box - Must start serving to the right of the center mark every game - After the first point, alternate serving from left to right service box - Any ball that hits the line is “in” - The server has 2 chances on each serve to get it into the correct service box - May not serve until the receiver is ready - Call out the score, servers score first

Faults - Foot Fault: this occurs when the server steps on the baseline while serving - The ball is sent outside the boundaries of the opposite service box or into the net - The server missed the ball (catch a bad toss) - Double Fault: two faults in a row, which results in a point for the opponent

Game Scoring - When calling out the score always say the server’s score before the non-serving score.

# of points Score Zero Love One 15 Two 30 Three 40 Four Game

A game tied at 40-40 is called deuce. You must win each game by 2 points. The point after deuce is called “advantage.” If the server wins the point after deuce the score is “add in” and if the non-server scores the point after deuce it is called “add out.” If the person/team who had the “advantage” loses

Page 17: Physical Education Handoutswhs.schoolsofwestfield.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server... · plyometrics, powerlifting, gymnastics, girevoy sport (kettle bell training), calisthenics, Strongman,

the next point the score goes back to deuce, if the person/team who has “advantage” scores then the game is won by that player/team. SET: To play a set in tennis one player must win 6 games to win the set. However, to win a set you must win by at least 2 games, so a games score of 6 -5 results in another game played. If the score after the game is 7-5 then the set is over, but if the score is 6-6 then a tiebreaker game is played. MATCH: A match is played by winning a predetermined number of sets. High School matches are the best 2 out of 3 sets. Professional women play the best 2 out of 3 sets. Professional men play the best 3 out of 5 sets. Professional men play best 3 out of 5 sets in grand slam matches. Terms ► Ace- Serving the ball past your opponent with no return. “A serve that cannot be returned.” ► Alley: area between the singles sideline and the doubles sideline. ►Backcourt: the area between the service lines and the baseline. ►Backhand-Hitting the ball on the non-racket side of body. ►Break point: Point which, if won by the receiver, would result in a break of service; arises when the score is 30–40 or 40–ad. A double break point or two break points arises at 15–40; a triple break point or three break points arises at 0–40. ►Center mark: Small mark located at the center of the baseline. When serving the player must stand on the correct side of the mark corresponding with the score. ► Dink: Shot with no pace, usually hit close to the net. ►Double Fault-When 2 consecutive serves do not go into the correct service box, the other person/team gets a point. ►Drop Shot: the ball is hit relatively softly, and lands just over and close to the net. ► Fault- Serve that does not go into the correct service box. ►Foot fault: Type of service fault in which a player, during the serve, steps on or over the baseline into the court before striking the ball. A foot fault may also occur if the player steps on or across the center mark and its imaginary perpendicular extension from the baseline to the net. ►Forecourt: the area between the service line and the net. ►Forehand- Hitting the ball on the racket side of body. ►Grand Slam: Winning all four Major tournaments in a calendar year. Since it happens so rarely, "Grand Slam" is commonly misused to refer to any one of the four most prestigious tournaments (Majors): the Australian Open, the French Open (Roland Garros), Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. ►Left service court: the area between the left singles sideline, the centerline, the service line and the net. It is also used on all odd scored. ►Let : “Let the ball be served again” A let occurs when the ball hits the net on a serve and goes over (into the correct service box), there is interference from another court, any time play is interrupted, or you cannot agree on what happened in the last play. ►Lob: A defensive shot, where the ball is returned very high in the air and into the opponent’s backcourt. ►Rally: Hitting the ball back and forth between opponents. ►Right service Court: the area between the right singles sideline, the centerline, the service line and the net. It is also the court served into to begin each game, and used on all even scores. ► Serve: Used to begin play. Also called a service. ►Service line: line that a server must be serve from behind.

Volleyball History

Volleyball was invented at the YMCA in Holyoke, MA by William G. Morgan. He invented the game in 1895 as a less strenuous activity than basketball.

Nature of the game

Volleyball is played by two teams of 6 players on a court that is 60’ by 30’, divided into halves. The net is 8’ high for men and 7’ 4 ¼” for women. Volleyball games are played to 25 points, but teams must win by 2 points.

Skills Overhead Pass/Set: contact of the ball is made with the pads of the fingers making a window, and above the head. Forearm Pass/Bump: the ball is hit off of the forearms with the lift coming from the legs. Used to return low hit balls, spikes, and serves. Spike: a powerful offensive play that drives the ball downward with great force. Dink: a fake spike. Instead of spiking the ball, it is gently tapped over the opponents’ hands. Serve: used to begin play of each point. There are two types: overhand and underhand. Block: the act of jumping with the arms extended upward to stop a spiked ball. Kill: a spike that cannot be returned. Dig: a pass made with cupped hands for the difficult, out of reach plays.

Terminology Body Fault: when the ball touches any part of the body below the waist. Carry: an illegal hit in which the ball rests momentarily on the players’ open hands. Double Fault: a violation in which two opposing players commit a violation at the same time, the point is replayed. Foot Fault: when the server steps on or over the baseline when contacting the ball. Point: a point is scored when one team fails to return the ball legally. Rally Scoring: scoring system where a point is scored when the ball cannot be played legally, every time the ball is served a point is scored. Rotation: players shift clockwise after a side out is called on an opponent. Side Out: the term used by the official when the serving team legally plays the ball and loses the serve.
