The Importance of Intensity in Physical Activity

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The intensity of physical activity's important for our physical health. However, we will dive deeper and notice the impact on performance. Specifically, when it comes to basketball, we will begin to understand the improvements made in our own health as well as the skill of the game as it relates to the intensity in which we practice.

Replay It is a simple yet powerful real-time video analysis tool that helps you analyse and improve performance in physical education for your students. It records videos and displays them continuously with a time delay for quick and hands free visual feedback. This will help you teach students the skills associated with basketball and make the necessary adjustments to make them better.

This website defines the components of skill related fitness and how each one is used within the game of basketball. By knowing this and sharing with students, they can better learn how to play the game and be effective on the court.

The Components of Fitness is a term given to grouping of aspects relating to conditioning and attributes athletes can work on for sport. The components of fitness include Strength, Power, Speed, Endurance, Balance, Coordination, Reaction Time, Muscular Endurance, Cardiovascular Fitness, Body Composition and Flexibility. These are broad areas but help with categorising drills and activities as well as assisting in describing the different physiological requirements for a sport such as basketball.

It does not matter if you are playing in the NBA or running around your local gym one of the great benefits from playing basketball is it requires a high degree of fitness. At a professional level the physical demands of basketball are so high that pre-season training starts many months in advance to try and prepare athletes for the sports high requirements. In training for basketball many aspects are worked on making the players good enough to deal with the pressure and physical requirements of the game. It is this sports specific training that helps ensure that the players have good muscle endurance to enhance their technical skills.

There are two different groupings that help with our description of the Components of Fitness. The first area is Skill Related Components of Fitness. These component areas focused on the performance of technical and tactical activities involved in sports specific movements. The second area is the Health Related Components of Fitness. These components look at the physiological condition of the athlete. The health related components can expressed in general fitness and well-being.

For this discussion the Skill Related Components of Fitness are to be focused on. Skill Related Components are:

Agility refers to the ability to be able to change direction at pace while still remaining under control. In basketball when thinking of agility think of changing direction while in a defensive stance or the ability to create a lane to the basket while cutting.

Balance revolves around the concept of equilibrium and this describes the ability of an individual to remain in control of their body and maintain the desired technique. In basketball balance can seen in the performance and execution of a jump-shot or a defensive stance.

Coordination refers to bring all the body parts together in a purposeful movement. Commonly used terms are things like hand-eye coordination. In basketball, coordination can be seen in the shooting action where the whole body is utilised to achieve a very specific movement sequence.

Power is focused on short but extreme effort. In basketball activities, power can be seen when an athlete jumps and is also in the explosive acceleration needed in transition.

Reaction Time describes the time it takes an individual to act upon stimuli. In basketball this can be seen in the movements of players off the ball reading and reacting (or delay) to where the ball is and where their defensive assignment also is in relation to the ball. In this situation the better the reaction time the faster the player moves into the correct position.

Speed refers to the time needed to perform an activity. This can be overall speed of a player when sprinting or hand speed when a player is trying to steal a ball.

When speaking about fitness and conditioning an important aspect to discuss is fatigue. Fatigue gives a name to the time when players move past what their optimum level of output is and into a stage where they are unable to perform tasks as efficiently or to as high a standard as previously demonstrated. When you are tired, you will try to take shortcuts in the game and no game has ever been won using shortcuts. The quality of the play will become poor which highlights how fatigue will affect the Skill Related Components of Fitness. Areas which are first to suffer are technical skills like catching the ball in a triple threat stance, passing with accuracy or using basic movement principles such as change of pace. Being tired also means you are less likely to play defence and on the defensive end of the floor fatigue will affect rebounding as aggressively as needed. In general you will not play at your best when you are fatigued.

Basketball is a sport which demands a highly efficient level of competence and performance of technical skills found across all the Skill Related Components of Fitness. By taking this into account as a coach you can tailor your training sessions to include these elements and help your athletes become exposed to all these areas of development.

It is important to understand why we do what we do. Here is a closer look at the importance for understanding Heart Rate Monitoring during physical activity.

Students will wear Heart Rate Monitors as a way to understand the intensity of the sport. It will be important for each student to understand that the higher their heart rate, the more difficult it becomes to make a shot. The importance of being "fit" ensures that a higher level of performance is possible and will encourage them to become active and stay health.

Students will use Coaches Eye from the app store in order to break down and understand how to execute the variety of movements throughout the unit. They will be expected to be able to point out the cues for each movement and be able to provide their peers with feedback.
