Planning a Physical Activity

Assignment Questions
Part I: Beginning the Activity 1. Choose an activity such as walking, running, aerobics, soccer, basketball, or rollerblading. What exercise activity will you participate in?
Kickboxing

2. Why is the warm-up phase of your training program important?
Because, fighting is a forever contact sport and the human being is not made to fight that kind of length regularly so proper stretching and warm- ups is good because if your tight you won’t perform as good as you would if you were loose.

3. Why is the cool-down phase of your training program important?
Because the muscles will still be active and ready to go more rounds so just stopping out of the blue will cause a little trouble and that’s basically with anything that gets started you can’t just stop in the middle of something without finishing or relaxing the muscles.

4. Identify areas of your body in which you have experienced muscle soreness due to vigorous activity
My arms, and thighs big time because me being my size and weight I never got hit just to evasive, so with me working trying to land and escape incoming fire it often tires me out more than the workout.

Light sparring and grappling

A little intense grappling

Part IV: Practice What You Designed 1. Practice the warm-up you have designed.
I would just light sparr because the stretching has me to tight to the point where I hardly feel like throwing any punches.

Part V: Skills and Performance 1. Think about an activity you participate in and explain how each of the skill-related components of balance, reaction time, agility, coordination, power, and speed can enhance your performance levels in that activity.
This is fighting, I mean everything has to be 1 that what makes a good fighter I’ve been having so much success as a fighter because I have learned to be 1 with myself and when you get that the rest just falls in.
