Day of Track Meet

Teachers are encouraged to attend and possibly assist with wayward students.Students know which events they have chosen.Matt watches and scores high jump, long jump, shot putCherry watches and scores hurdles, 4X100 Relays, 100 Meter or 50 Meter Runs.Students assist in recording results on prepared forms.Students not presently competing practice their events, watch the others compete or assist with recording and competition.No more than 12 students are competing in each event (2 relay teams per homeroom).After class, all result forms are collected and transferred to overall grade level score sheets.Certificates are printed and presented at the next class.Teachers have kept their class certificates for years.

Study GuideImportant Concepts

Warm-up

Warm-ups are done for at least 5-10 minutes to prepare body for practice or competition Dynamic warm-ups are best because the muscles are stretched as the move – not held static Warm-ups should consist of exercises related to the activity for the competition or practice. Warm-ups should progress in difficulty from light to moderate in intensity. Warm-ups send blood to the muscles that will be used in the activity. Warm-ups help reduce risk of injury, soreness after competition or practice, Warm –ups get your mind focused on the activity, and may help improve ones competition or

practice level.

Anaerobic Exercise

Exercise that is high intensity (very tough on the body) and cannot be sustained for long periods of time.

Usually lasts 2-3 minutes or less. Anaerobic activities include power and sprinting activities. Some examples of anaerobic activities include: shot put, long jump, high jump, 100m sprint,

4x100 relay, 4x400 relay. THE MILE IS NOT AN ANAEROBIC EXERCISE IT IS AEROBIC (lasts longer than 2-3 minutes

and is not at high enough intensity).

Vocabulary

Lane-The path marked on the track for a race or that the runner must stay in a prescribed path. Anchor-The last runner on a relay team. False Start-Leaving the starting line before the gun sounds or when the teacher says “GO”. Blind Handoff-A sprint relay handoff technique where the outgoing runner does not look back to

take the baton. Scratch Line-Curved or straight line behind which throws and the long jump must be made.

How Points Are Counted at a Track Meet

1st Place = 10 points 2nd Place = 8 points 3rd Place = 6 points 4th Place = 5 points 5th Place = 2 points 6th Place = 1 point

On The SidelinesTrack and Field: On the Side Lines

Make – up work must be done for each non-participation class period. (Present or absent) You may choose one activity for each day missed from among the activities listed below. Resource information is available during class or maybe provided upon request. Twelve days of activities are listed below.

Skills analysis; complete one paper for each skill practiced during PE classes. One skill analysis = one PE class.

1. running form – explosive, powerful start

2. hurdles

3. relay

4. high jump

5. long jump

6. shot put

If you were the coach, how would you teach and lead a track and field unit? How would you assess (grade) the performances and work of your students? What is it they should know and be able to do? Complete a unit plan and create written tests to see if your students really understand how to participate in a track and field event. (Worth 4 days of class).

Using the Mountain Brook Physical Education Course of Study match track and field activities and expectations to the standards required for your grade level.

Track and Field E-DayPHYSICAL EDUCATION

E-SCHOOL ACTIVITY Name: _____________________________________________________ Class: __________ Print out and complete. Bring to PE class. Give it to Coach Thomas or substitute.

Track and Field Warm-up

1. Students are in side-by-side lines about 5 feet apart 2. Form running – “cheek to cheek” 3. Jog to line (40-50 feet) HIGH KNEES - emphasis on lift of knee, not speed 4. Jog to line BOODIE KICKS – emphasis on bend of knee, not speed 5. HIGH KNEE SKIPS – lift knee high up 6. Basketball slides – low level slides 7. CARIOCA – maintain bend in knee 8. 50% SPRINTS 9. 100% SPRINTS

Be able to describe why warm-up is so important to track and field as well as all physical activities.

Static stretches

1. Pike stretch – hold for 15 seconds hamstrings and lower back 2. Butterfly stretch – hold for 15 seconds hips 3. Torso stretch – hold for 15 seconds, both directions core 4. Camel stretch – hold for 15 seconds gastrox 5. Flamingo stretch – hold for 15 seconds, both legs quads 6. Slow ankle rotations – 20 each direction tendons, muscles of ankle

Do the warm-up above – dynamic and static stretches. Check off each exercise after you complete it.
