skill related fitness project
My client is Sarah Laker. A retired ballet instructor, her career came to an end early when she broke her left ankle 4 years ago. She since then has gone to rehabilitation classes and her ankle has healed to the point where her doctor said she can go on her trip to Utah and go skiing with her husband. Before she is cleared to go though she has a training plan she has to pass.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best 1 the worst. These are my clients abilities:
Agility: 4/10
Balance: 3/10 (favoring the right ankle)
Coordination: 9/10
Power: 5/10
Reaction time: 10/10
Speed: 7/10
The course Sarah will complete consists of balance, agility, power, and speed tests.
First she will play tennis, moving to hit the ball and turning to hit the ball will not only improve her agility but also her speed and playing with a ball shooter will help her increase the rate at which she can return volleys. Next Sarah will stand in the center of a trampoline and try and balance on her left foot lifting her right leg behind her, gradually increasing the height as she is able to. Her finally test is Jumping up on said trampoline and gradually increasing her height adding power every time she drops down.
After her tests are complete she will have a level of these:
Agility: 9/10
Balance: 8/10
Coordination: 9/10
Power: 9/10
Reaction time: 10/10
Speed: 10/10
For Sarah's trip she will need to wear knee pads and ankle braces for protection while she skis. She will wear them under her warm clothing but they must be worn, or the risk of rebreaking her ankle could occur.
