Concepts
Duration: (40 - 50 minutes)
This portion aims to provide thorough and comprehensive insights into the main athletics events, their rules, and techniques. By delving into each event, students can identify the specifics and understand the physical consequences on the body, enhancing their knowledge and appreciation of the sport.
Relevant Topics
1. Sprints: Discuss the different types of sprints, including short distance (100m, 200m, 400m), middle distance (800m, 1500m), and long distance (5000m, 10000m, marathon). Cover key rules such as the start techniques, lane usage, and running methods.
2. Race Walking: Outline the features of race walking, including the rule that necessitates one foot to be in contact with the ground at all times and the supporting leg must be straight when the foot strikes the ground. Mention common distances like 20 km and 50 km.
3. Throws: Introduce the primary throwing disciplines: shot put, discus throw, hammer throw, and javelin throw. Explain the essential techniques and rules applicable to each event, such as the throwing area and correct throwing form.
4. Jumps: Describe the jumping events: high jump, pole vault, long jump, and triple jump. Clarify techniques for each jump, the fundamental rules, and the significance of the take-off and landing phases.
5. Impacts on the Human Body: Discuss the physical consequences of various athletics events on the human body, such as enhancing cardiovascular endurance in long-distance races, building muscle strength in throws and jumps, and requiring technique and coordination in race walking.
To Reinforce Learning
1. 1. What are the primary differences between sprints, middle distance, and long distance races?
2. 2. Can you explain the crucial rule of race walking and why it matters?
3. 3. How do the techniques in long jump and triple jump differ from each other?
Feedback
Duration: (20 - 25 minutes)
This segment's goal is to review and solidify the content covered, ensuring students comprehend the main athletics events and their respective rules. By discussing their answers and engaging the class in reflections, the teacher reinforces the knowledge gained and encourages a more profound, meaningful learning experience.
Diskusi Concepts
1. Question 1: What are the primary differences between sprints, middle distance, and long distance races?
Explanation: Sprints (100m, 200m, 400m) emphasize on rapid acceleration and muscular explosiveness, focusing on quick starts and maintaining high speeds. Middle distance events (800m, 1500m) require a blend of speed and stamina, employing tactical pacing and position. Long distance races (5000m, 10000m, marathon) demand significant cardiovascular endurance, energy management, and consistent pacing over extended distances.
2. Question 2: Can you explain the crucial rule of race walking and why it matters?
Explanation: The key rule of race walking is that at least one foot must always touch the ground, and the supporting leg must be straight upon contact. This rule helps differentiate walking from running, preserving the specific technique of race walking and preventing disqualification for infractions.
3. Question 3: How do the techniques in long jump and triple jump differ from each other?
Explanation: In long jump, an athlete runs and executes a single jump following take-off. The technique emphasizes speed in the approach and maximizing power during take-off. In triple jump, athletes perform a series of three jumps (hop, step, jump) before landing. The technique in triple jump requires precise coordination and control during the transitions, utilizing both speed and strength from the approach.
Engaging Students
1. 📣 Questions to Engage the Students:
- Which athletics event do you find most challenging? Why?
- How do you think athletes train to build the stamina and skills required for long distance events?
- What pros and cons exist for each jumping event (high jump, pole vault, long jump, triple jump)?
- Which elements of race walking do you consider most challenging to master?
📖 Reflections:
- Reflect on how athletics can be incorporated into your workout routines. Which event would you be keen to try?
- Think about the physical attributes needed for each event. How might these attributes influence an athlete's choice to focus on a particular event?
