- 8. Describe whether the tests show that progress is being made as planned? • In terms of flexibility Rob has improved his score from initial testing as his best score was 21. After the four weeks of training it had increased respectively to 24. • Rob’s test results scored 28 for anxiety, which is high on the normative scale. His previous results scored 29 so although there has been an improvement it is very minimal. I thought there would have been more of an improvement as Rob feedback suggested that he thought that the imagery and relaxation/stress management techniques were more beneficial. Even though the score hasn't really improved I am pleased with the progress.
- 9. Does the mid point review show that weeks 5-8 need to be adapted? Describe How you will adapt your sessions? • The mid point review has shown that the 5-8 week plan does not need to be adapted as Rob has made progression in both his flexibility trait and his control of anxiety, I will continue to monitor Rob’s progress and make sure that for the last 3 weeks of training that I continue to take into account the FIT principle by sticking to my 8 week training plan. I think that my plan for the next 4 weeks is suitable and will assure that progression continues. One consideration I have to take into account is to assure Rob doesn’t become too flexible, especially in the shoulders as this can cause injury. Another consideration I have to take into account is that Rob doesn’t control his anxiety too well as it may cause him not have high arousal levels which may affect his performance.
