Describe whether the tests show that progress is being made as planned?

• The trait of excellence muscular endurance is improving steady but not as much as Stamina. The top result of the Wall Squat test before the program was 75 seconds (average), the top result at the mid point testing was 80 seconds (above average). This shows a small but steady improvement. All three of the retesting results improved to above average. Dave was present for this retesting and said he can see the improvement from before the first week and now, he hopes the progress will continue then the effects on this improvement will be felt by the team in games and training. Will make small adjustments to the program but not dramatically.

• The trait of excellence stamina is definitely showing improvement, He’s best result to the Astrand treadmill test was 44 VO2 max (fair) after 4 weeks on the training program it has improved 46.73 VO2 max (good). This shows a define improve. All three test results where in the ‘good’ range, showing this was a one off but it is a consistent improvement. This result similar to what I expected would have happened, as throughout the 4 weeks Sam was doing really well and found if fairly easy. Dave was present to witness the retesting and thinks a definite improvement has been made but there is still progress to go. Due to the result from these week 4 retesting, I believe I will have to alter the program for weeks 5-8 to make them harder.

Does the mid point review show that weeks 5-8 need to be adapted?

• The mid point review has flagged up that improvements need to be made to the muscular endurance plan for weeks 5-8. I will adapt the sessions by increasing the amount of reps by 2 for each exercise. If this seems like it isn’t increasing that extra strain on Sam, ill add another 1 or 2 reps.

• The mid point review has shown me that significant changes need to be made to the 5-8 weeks program. I will need to change the speed of the fast intervals, the duration he will be running at maximum intensity for and shorten the time for rests between each. Hopefully this will make it more challenge for Sam as he found the first 4 weeks fairly easy. Also increase the intensity and frequency of the training program should hopefully then make Sam improve even more which will be tested at the end to the 8 week training program.
