8. 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.

9. 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.
