Legal+and+Illegal+Performance+Enhancement

This work sheet is to be filled out by the students, it is to be done firstly by either student centered learning, or by expert jigsaw, using the websites and videos linked below. Then the answers are on another tab of the excel document, which are to be gone through in class as a whole, to make sure al students have the relevant information.

Powerpoint:

Student Centered Learning: Through the use of websites (The links down below) and their text books, students research to fill out the table of the ergonic aids, both legal and illegal.

Expert Jigsaw: Expert jigsaws allow students in each group or team to take on specific responsibilities regarding the design task. Once the design brief and the design criteria have been discussed, students in each group are numbered 1–4 (or whatever the size of the grouping used in the classroom) then expert teams can be allocated one aspect of the task. For example, all the 1s will work together to develop ideas about their aspect, all the 2s will develop ideas about a different aspect of the task, and so on. Members of the expert teams will then re-join their home team and share their information. This strategy is very useful for exploring and defining the task.

Here are some videos to aid students learning: Altitude training in Kenya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZeWGHUWW3E Tyler Hamilton, 60 minutes Interview about Lance Armstrong doping, talks about EPO and Blood Doping: http://www.cyclingtipsblog.com/2011/05/tyler-hamilton-60-minutes-interview/
