any session that makes up a group of sessions. Eg: 10-week boot camp class that runs every Wednesday after school.
In terms of planning a session, As an instructor it is important to
understand each of your participants and/or clients so that you can plan sessions for them that achieve their aims, satisfy their needs as well as offer an opportunity for fun and enjoyment
Example of Activities of up to a day’s duration –
hiking trips, surfing days.
Example categories could be:
Experienced, Inexperienced, Adult, and Children.
What can some questions be about the participant (5
Age, experience, motivation, how will you work with them, their aims.
Competition or performance targets –
the aim of a session for a club, team, group or individual that competes may be to achieve performance targets and win games or matches. Eg – getting 40 team tackles a game (performance targets) achieving a number of wins for the session (competition aims)
Self-improvement –
the aims could be related to a dimension of health (physical, social, mental or spiritual health) as well as having cosmetic benefits (weight loss, muscle tone and improvements in skin health. Exercise releases endorphins – endorphins make to happy – people whom exercise are more happy
Fitness targets –
the aim of the session is to improve fitness. Eg – running 10km in under an hour
Lifestyle adjustments –
the aim of this session is to achieve health benefits. People often make lifestyle adjustments after putting on weight or having a health scare. Eg – walking 30mins every day and cutting back on fat intake.
Technical –
the aim of this session would be to learn or refine a specific skill. Achieving technical aspects of an activity may also help participants measure their success. Eg – beginner surfer learning how to stand on the board

In additional order to conduct a successful session you should:
(9
positive social environment
Be punctual and equipment ready
Have equipment set up prior to participant arrival
Inform participants of session aims and objectives
Clear and varied communications skills (whistle, one on one, group, demonstrations)
Check for participant understanding (ask open and closed questions)
Cater of visual and audio leaners (demonstrate + explanation)
Safe and appropriate warm up
Provide positive feedback (increases self-esteem and self-confidence)
Modify session for participants that are struggling.
Tests and assessments are helpful for (4
check whether a person is physically able to participate in the session.
Checks for: pre-existing medical conditions, recent injuries and/or are they taking any form of medication that could affect their ability to participate.
Identifying these medical issues is important not only for the safety of the participant or client but also to protect the instructor from any form of litigation. (lawsuit)
Information is the key when planning any sport and recreation session, the more info, the more likely the session will be a success.
Types of tests and assessments are (3
Interview: - Past performances: - Medical History: - Physical ability tests:
What does an Interview involve and what is it good for
An interview involves an instructor speaking and questioning a client about their health, medical history, previous experiences, goals and objectives. It is an opportunity for an instructor to learn about their client, the expectations, needs and goals for the session.
What are Past performances used for and what are they important for
used to determine the plan of a session.
Important in having a bench mark stat to see improvement
What is Medical History used for
whether or not they should be participating in the session.
What are Physical ability tests important for
assist an instructor to confirm a client’s current fitness level as well as further investigate possible medical concerns that may require referral to a GP.
What are the types of physical ability tests (5
> range of movement: analyses whether a client is able to freely move limbs/parts of body. >blood pressure: a measurement of the force blood applies to the artery walls. >strength: the quality or state of being physically strong. >anthropometric: the study of human body measurements especially on a comparative basis. >cardiovascular response: best tested through Vo2 Max. (Maximal Oxygen Consumption Test)
What are Physical demands
Demands that are placed on the body.
Cardio vascular systems and muscle systems – fitness, power, coordination, speed, agility and endurance.
What are emotional demands
Easy or difficult to gauge?
If a client is emotional, what should the instructor do?
Relate to the feelings and emotions of participants (self-esteem, body image and confidence)
Emotional depends are often difficult to gauge.
If a participant has an emotional response the instructor should try and make the client feel comfortable, let them talk about their feelings and find a way to help them.
What are psychological demands

What are they influenced by
Demands that relate to mind and thought processes (mental attitude)
Psychological demands can effect motivation
Psychological demands can be influenced by competition, coaches, peers and financial gain.

Groups need to find a balance between individual and group needs.
Groups that place pressure on individuals to perform, can lead to low self-esteem and poor self-confidence.
What are individual demands within a group
Who is it controlled by
What can it result to
Relate to the stresses that individuals place on themselves within a group to perform at a level beyond their abilities
This is controlled by the individuals and not the group
Can result in individuals trying to perform at a level beyond their abilities – can result in injuries.
What are the 9 Organisational Policies And Procedures
- Work health and safety
- Confidentiality
- Assessment procedures
- Referral procedures
- Using, checking and storing equipment
- Emergency procedures
- Risk-analysis procedures
- Time constraints and scheduling requirements
- Budget allocation
What is work health and safety
And what should be done when planning a session
- ensure the safety and health of employees within the workplace
- make it a priority to identify hazards and potential hazards in a workplace, when planning a session it is important to foresee any potential hazards or accidents that can occur
What is confidentiality
What happens if there’s a breach in confidentiality
Confidentiality dictates that no information should be used for any purpose than what it’s collected for.
A breach of confidentiality may have many consequences including: loss of revenue for the organisation, loss of reputation, loss of clients and breach of legal/ethical obligation-
What are assessment procedures
Is is the strict set of policies and procedures that should always be followed to ensure safety of participants.When performing tests and assessments, This will ensure consistency when comparing results.
Eg: when recording a client’s body weight they need to take off their shoes and look straight ahead
What are referral procedures
• a set of procedures that should outline the steps taken when referring a participant or client to health professionals
Eg: documentation given to clients form a sports trainers referring them to a physio – this documentation should outline their injury, previous injuries and any other relevant info.
What is using, checking and storing equipment policy
Equipment should be checked after use to see if there are any damaged items.
What do employees need to be aware of in emergency procedures
In the event that an emergency situation does occur all employees should be
Employees in any workplace environment need to be able to recognise emergency and potential emergency situations
In the event that an emergency situation does occur all employees should be aware of all policies and procedures regarding the action that should be taken
Wherever possible these procedures should be practiced through mock emergencies
What are risk analysis procedures
A risks analysis procedure would need to evaluate the:
Risk analysis is the process of evaluating risk for a planned activity
A risks analysis procedure would need to evaluate the environment being used, the equipment and resources being used
Time Constraints and scheduling requirements –
it is an instructor’s responsibility to plan a session that runs for the correct amount of time whilst still covering all content required. Eg. If you were running a first aid course procedure may dictate that the first hour of the course should be used to cover the topics:
What is first Aid?
Responsibilities of a first aider?
First response – DRSABCD
A session plan should be designed to
meet the identified needs, abilities and risk factors of participants according to relevant legislation and organisational policies and procedures
Key elements to a lesson plan (4
Aims
Dates and times
Activity stages and structure
Logistics
Activity stages and structure in the lesson plan
What should it contain
How the session will run and what structure will be chosen
Once aim and all other relevant information is known structure should be easily determined
Structure may be warm-up followed by main activity with cool-down after that
Each section should be allocated a duration of time in which to be completed
Should contain a step by step description of activities to be completed
Appropriate tasks and activities should be chosen according to the aims, participants as well as resources available
Logistics in the lesson plan
Should include
Management and running of the session
Involves organisation of people facilities and supplies
Should include all details surrounding the coordination and running of the session as well as incorporating info about the venue, equipment needed, resources and support personnel needed
External factors can..
Examples of external factors
Cannot be controlled but can be planned for and thereby reduced in the event that they arise.
They have the potential to disrupt and influence the delivery, value and outcome of a session.
eg.
Weather
Time of Day
Environmental Factors
Condition of site of Location
Participant Abilities
How can weather impact an activity
WitH an example
Poor weather can cause danger and increase the likelihood of accidents or injury.
Heat can cause dehydration, heat exhaustion and in some cases heat-stroke.
How can the time of day impact an activity
With example
May impact weather conditions, for example, the mornings in winter are quite cold and in summer quite cool.
The afternoon in winter is often raining and in summer it is the hottest part of the day.
What should an instructor do to analyse the environment
And what does that allow
Should always check the condition of the site a week before or on the day and check the accessibility of the location.
Allows for safe planning.
At the end of conducting a Sport and Recreation session it is important that
you allocate sufficient time for ‘cooling down’ and discussions with participants
Review any skills or content learnt in the session through the use of open and closed questions
Collect all equipment and check for any possible damage and wear, which may affect the ability of the equipment to be used again safely
If an equipment issue is identified it should be reported to the appropriate person in accordance
All equipment must then be returned to the storage facility in a condition that would be acceptable for future use
To ensure your duty of care, it is your responsibility as an instructor to supervise all participants’ departures in a manner appropriate to the situation
How can an evaluation be conducted
questionnaires or surveys, observations, interviews and data collection
When constructing a method of evaluation, whether it is a survey or interview questions, the following criteria must be considered:
(5
