Athena Health & Performance Clinic
The Athena Health and Performance Clinic is a health & fitness workshop, specifically designed for TY students. The clinic equips transition year students with the skills and knowledge they need to take ownership of their health and fitness.
Our clinics are carried out on-site and schools can mix-and-match between practical and knowledge-based sessions.
Our Knowledge Labs and Practical Workshops
Design your own clinic by combining knowledge labs and practical workshops. Information on each session can be found in the below.
Knowledge Labs (40-60 Mins Each)
1. Physical Activity for Exam Success
We explore the World Health Organisation’s physical activity guidelines for adolescents and analyse the positive effects that exercising can have on exam performance.
2. Health and Performance Related Fitness in Adolescents
We examine the components of physical fitness and look at monitoring practices used to assess adolescent fitness. We also examine how fitness testing data is presented.
3. The Elite Athlete Blueprint: Training, Psychology and Recovery
A deep dive into the advanced training regimens, psychological strategies, and recovery techniques used by today’s elite athletes to achieve peak performance.
4. A Comprehensive Overview of LCPE
We share a comprehensive overview of the LCPE curriculum, tackling the challenges students face and addressing some misconceptions about the subject.
5. Adolescent Nutrition for Health and Performance
We provide students with the nutritional knowledge they need to make informed nutritional choices. We also explore sports nutrition and nutritional strategies used by athletes.
6. An Introduction to Resistance Training
Students learn the theory that underpins resistance training and programme design. We explore factors such as exercise selection, manipulating intensity and training guidelines.
Practical Workshops (80-120 Mins Each)
1. FitnessMark Testing
Students complete aspects of the Athena FitnessMark testing battery to assess their fitness levels. We can generate individual student fitness reports, which students can compare to reference data.
2. Resistance Training Skill Development
We move beyond theory and provide practical advice, instructions and demonstrations regarding resistance
training. Students will develop their skill, confidence and competence in all aspects of resistance training.
