Olympic Participation Skills Worksheet

Explore how to prepare for physical activity, use movement skills safely, support others and plan for improvement. Write clearly. For open-ended tasks, more than one response may be appropriate.

Prepare to Move

1.Harper is getting ready for a school athletics session. Choose three suitable warm-up movements from this list: easy jogging, arm circles, dynamic leg swings, gentle skipping, long static holds, or sitting still. Name each movement and explain briefly how it helps prepare the body.

Movement Skills and Technique

2.During a 100-metre sprint, which set of actions best supports effective and safe technique?

Lean back, look at the ground and take short steps.
Keep a tall posture, look ahead, drive the arms and run within the lane.
Turn to look at other runners and cross into another lane.
Begin running before the start signal to build speed.

3.Amira is practising a standing long jump in a marked area. State two technique or safety actions she should use, including one action for landing.

Fair Play and Participation

4.In a relay practice, Dylan is running at a different pace from the rest of the group. Some teammates are becoming impatient. Give one practical response that helps the group participate fairly.

5.A student is unsure when to pass the baton and keeps missing the exchange zone. What is the most helpful response from the group?

Explain and demonstrate the exchange calmly, then practise together.
Tell the student to leave the relay.
Ignore the confusion and continue at full speed.
Make fun of the mistakes so the student remembers.

Training Ideas

6.Match each training term with the definition that best describes it.

Warm-up
Cool-down
Hydration
Progressive overload
Recovery
Goal setting
Safety
Teamwork

Light movement that helps the body settle after exercise
Replacing fluid by drinking enough water
Increasing training demands gradually over time
Deciding what you want to achieve
Co-operating with others towards a shared outcome
Rest and repair time between training sessions
Gentle activity that gradually prepares the body for exercise
Using suitable rules, equipment and techniques to reduce risk

Plan and Reflect

7.Create a personal activity plan. Write one realistic movement or fitness goal, two ways you could practise, one way to record progress, and one likely barrier with a practical solution. Your goal should be specific enough to check later.

8.Explain one way to make a PE activity more inclusive, and name one action you can take to help classmates feel welcome during the activity.

9.Choose one movement skill you would like to improve. Describe one small step you could take to practise it safely.

Extension Challenge

10.Choose one challenge. Either design a short athletics-style team event with a name, three safety rules, a scoring method and one inclusion feature; or adapt an athletics event so participants with different abilities can take part. For the adaptation, name the original event, describe changes, list equipment and include a safety measure.
