          Methods of Instruction

          • Laboratory
          • Distance Learning

          Lab:

          1. Instructor will facilitate a class discussion on the various aspects of the main sport-specific training strategies, with in-class practical application of students working in small groups on workout scenarios. (Objective 1)
          2. Through instructor facilitated lecture and directed study, students will analyze, compare, contrast and write 10 offensive and 10 defensive drills for intercollegiate players. (Objective 4)
          3. Instructor will facilitate small group discussions in which students will summarize specific reading assignments and develop offensive charting strategies to be shared with the class. (Objective 6)
          4. Instructor will model, and then divide students into small groups to create, write and present five sport specific exercises. (Objective 4)

          Distance Learning

          1. The instructor will lecture on how to design a sport-specific workout program. The students will design and personal sport workout program. (objective 4)

          Typical Out of Class Assignments

          Reading Assignments

          1. Read assigned pages from the textbook on explosive movements and be prepared to discuss in class. 2. Read current article regarding circuit training techniques, and be prepared to discuss the findings in class.

          Writing, Problem Solving or Performance

          1. Design a sport-specific training program including speed, agility, strength and cardio-pulmonary exercises. 2. Students will write a report on the benefits of target heartrate training.
