Consider the one-week competition phase training plan.
| Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AM session | Interval training | Rest day | Fartlek training | Rest day | Interval training | Competition day | Recovery |
| PM session | Resistance training | Circuit training | Circuit training |
Select Monday, Wednesday or Friday from the training plan. Using the identified training methods for that day, develop two conditioning phase training sessions, specifically referencing specialised movement sequences within a physical activity that you have engaged with during Unit 4.
Justify by applying the features of the conditioning phase of a training session and the aims of the competition phase in your response.

To successfully complete a pass over a tall defender, a netball player will
decrease the angle of release and increase the height of release of the ball.
decrease the angle of release and decrease the height of release of the ball.
increase the angle of release and increase the height of release of the ball.
increase the angle of release and decrease the height of release of the ball.
Reveal Answer
decrease the angle of release and increase the height of release of the ball.
Decreasing the angle of release results in a flatter trajectory, making it easier for the tall defender to intercept the ball despite the higher release point.
decrease the angle of release and decrease the height of release of the ball.
Decreasing both the angle and height of release creates a low, flat pass that a tall defender can easily block or intercept.
increase the angle of release and increase the height of release of the ball.
Increasing the height of release gives the ball a higher starting point, and increasing the angle of release creates a higher parabolic trajectory, both of which are necessary to clear a tall defender.
increase the angle of release and decrease the height of release of the ball.
While increasing the angle creates a higher trajectory, decreasing the height of release gives the tall defender a better chance to block the ball right as it leaves the player's hands.
