Permanent record
Transportable - can be taken to training so can be filled in immediately after
What are the benefits of retesting?
Evaluate progress in a range of sub factors
Easy to complete having done it before
Easy to interpret results
Easy to compare results to initial test

Example answer. Describe a training diary for 4 Marks (Could you do this?)
‘One method I used to monitor my progress was a Training Diary.’
‘My training diary was set out in a booklet and had a page for each session. At the top of each page it had the date and then it contained spaces for my session goal, a description of what I did, my feelings during the session and my next steps below.’
‘Immediately after each session, I wrote down exactly what I did in chronological order without missing anything out. I then recorded how I felt about my session. An example of this was that I felt very bored doing continuous training because it was tedious performing at the same pace for a long time. After doing this, I wrote down my next steps based on how I thought my session went. With the above example, I wrote down that I should change my approach to fartlek training because it would be more interesting with a varied pace.’
‘I finished by reading over the information I wrote down and used it to help me set a realistic goal for my next session.’
Example answer. Describe a retest of a PPW for 4 Marks (Could you do this?)
One method I used to evaluate my progress in the Emotional factor was a re-test. The method I re-tested was the Performance Profiling Wheel (PPW).’
‘I completed my re-test at the end of my development plan. I carried it out on my own in my bedroom like I did in my initial data collection. I made sure I did it when I was feeling similarly motivated to my initial data collection.’
‘The PPW collected information on a range of different Emotional sub-factors by comparing my performance to a model performer. It is a wheel containing 6 sections. In each section are 10 segments with 1 (inner) being the worst and 10 (outer) being the best.’
‘I labelled each section with a sub-factor from the emotional factor and then considered what a model performer from my class would be. If they were 8/10, I coloured in the inner 8 segments in red. I then thought about me. If I was 3/10, I coloured the inner 3 segments in blue.’
‘I finished by comparing my results to my initial baseline data. I identified new emotional areas for development and started to take them back through the cycle of analysis by collecting data on them.’
