PE - Kent University Trip
Mr Shingleton sent this report:
A selection of Year 9 and Year 12 students had the opportunity last week to go over to Kent University Sports Labs in Canterbury for some lab testing.
Upon arrival, students were given a talk about the facilities and what the testing would entail.
The day started with some muscular strength and power tests followed by the VO2 max test. Students measured different aspects of performance with these tests with some really pushing their limits on the VO2 max test.
In the afternoon students had the opportunity to conduct research using Kent University’s facilities.
The research they chose was based on the effect of an isometric exercise before an aerobic performance test.
Again, students worked hard on this exercise with some interesting results. It was a great day all round and we are very grateful to the university for hosting us for the day.
