Ultimate Frisbee training

Hello everyone, today I'm going to show you a training session that I prepared for some of my classmates in high school. As you can see in the title, it is about Ultimate Frisbee, so, here we go.

WARMING UP

• Run two laps around the pitch.

• Rotate your ankles, knees, hips, arms, wrists and head.

• Stretch your legs, arms and shoulders.

FITNESS TASK

The two most used throws in Ultimate are the backhand and forehand, so we did an exercise to practise them. This consists in changing our positions so that we are able to practise every type of throw. The black point has to throw the disc using backhand to the blue point, this one has to throw it using forehand to the purple point and the purple point has to throw it with a long pass to the black point. Afterwards, they have to change their positions as it is shown in the picture. They have to run while doing this
.

TECHNICAL TASK

In groups of four, a person will start running slowly and he will pass the disc to the first person using backhand, to the second one using forehand and to the third one with a long pass, subsequently they will change their positions.


INDIVIDUAL TACTIC TASK

In groups of three, one person will be the defender, another one the thrower and another person has to be the one that receives the disc. The thrower has to throw it and the task of the defense is to force a bad pass, to get a block so the disc is not caught; or to get an interception outright.

COLLECTIVE TASK

Personally speaking, this is my favourite part of the training. You have to divide into two groups and play a match.

COOLING DOWN

• 5 to 10 minutes static stretching exercises

Static stretches are appropriate to cool down as they help muscles to relax, realign muscle fibres and re-establish their normal range of movement. These stretches should be held for approximately 10 seconds.


Hope you liked it. See you soon!

ENDURANCE

Hello, it's me again.

As I told you in my last post, I wanted to improve my endurance. Today, I'm going to show you my training session. In this session I am going to do a continuous run.

Continuous running involves working for a sustained period of time without rest.

First, I warm up.

I run a little bit and I strech every part of my body to avoid getting injured. Remember that warming up is really important and you always must do it.

After warming up, I run for about 20 minutes without rest. 

Here is a video of myself practising the continuous running.

Other days I practise Interval running, which is alternating periods of hard excersice and rest.

Here are two videos of myself practising the interval running.

Now, it's time to cool down. You should keep walking and strech a little bit to relax.

I really hope that you've liked this post. 

You can comment below if you have any doubt.

See you soon.

FLEXIBILITY

Hey, It's me again.

Before I start, I want to tell you a llitle bit about the project I had to do. It is called Personal Training Project or PTP. I have six weeks to create a training programme and to improve my flexibility and my endurance.

So today, I am going to share with you some of my training sessions.

First, I am going to tell you about a flexibility training session.

By increasing your flexibility you can improve your ability to move around. It is involved in every type of warm up and it is true to say that better flexibility results in better fitness. 

To warm up, walk a few minutes . Stretching your muscles before they are warmed up may result in injury.

Now, you should strech every part of your body (neck, shoulders, arms...)

Here are some excercises that will help you to improve your flexibility.

And that's it. If you follow this, you will see the results soon.
Keep moving.

SMARTPHONES APPS

Hello, It's me again.
Having a Smartphone is not going to improve your physical health but, it can help you. We're living in a techonological world so, it is obvious to think that there are some ways to make our fitness training more enjoyable.
Today I'm going to talk about apps.
Here are my favourites fitness apps.

HELLO EVERYONE!

First of all, I would like to present myself. My name is Nuria and I'm from Spain. My P.E. teacher has told my class to do a Project about fitness. So, the aim of this blog is to encourage you and help you with your fitness training.

After this explanation, I'd like to share with you some websites that I've found really interesting and useful. All of them are about fitness tests, so, here we go.


This website is dedicated to all things concerning fitness testing, with over 300 fitness tests described, information about conducting and interpreting assessment results, plus much more.

 This second website gives several examples of different fitness tests that you could do, as they can easily be reproduced away from a lab.
