Explain how Rachel could use her knowledge of training zones to help improve her performance in cross country running.
Cross country is an aerobic activity, so should work between 60-80% of her MHR at a low to moderate intensity to improve her cardiovascular endurance. She can also train anerabically between 80-90% of her MHR for uphill running and sprint finishes.

Explain how Rachel could use her knowledge of training zones to help improve her performance in sprinting.
Sprinting involves only anerobic respiration, and so she should train between 80-90% of her MHR for 60 seconds maximum at a high intensity. She should structure this training like her sprint events to improve the most.

Explain how Rachel could use her knowledge of training zones to help improve her performance in netball.
Netball requires most aerobic endurance, and so she should mostly train between 60-80% of her MHR at a moderate intensity for 15+ minutes to improve her overall stamina, which would help her to fatigue later in netball games. She can also train

less often anaerobically (80-90% of MHR at high intensity for max of 60 seconds) which would improve her ability to continuously sprint during games to reach lose passes or get into space.
Explain how Rachel could use her knowledge of training zones to help improve her performance in football.
4 of 5
Football requires almost equal amounts of aerobic and anaerobic respiration so she should train in both zones. Sometimes at 60-80% of her MHR at a low intensity, and sometimes at 80-90% of her MHR at a high intensity for a shorter time.
This will improve her performance because when she is not involved in play she will jog around her position using aerobic respiration. But also when sprinting to 50-50 challenges or running beyond the defence repeatedly she will need to train
