Teamwork Fitness

Read the scenario and complete the activities. Think about how teamwork can make physical activity safer, more inclusive and more effective.

Read the scenario

A class is completing a team fitness circuit. At each station, the group works for 40 seconds, then has 20 seconds to move and recover. The stations include shuttle runs, partner medicine-ball passes and step-ups. The group agrees to rotate roles: one person leads the movement, one watches safe technique, and one encourages teammates. When a teammate struggles, the group slows the pace, offers a choice of lower-impact movement and keeps everyone involved. After the circuit, they notice their breathing and heart rates are higher than at rest.

1.Which action from the scenario best shows inclusive teamwork? Choose one.

Keeping the pace fast so the strongest person gets the best workout
Offering a lower-impact option and keeping the teammate involved
Letting the leader do every station
Skipping recovery so the circuit finishes sooner

2.Explain one reason the group rotates the leader, technique-checker and encourager roles.

3.During the circuit, breathing and heart rate rise above resting levels. What is one reason this happens?

4.Match each teamwork behaviour with its best description.

Clear communication
Constructive feedback
Respect
Shared responsibility

Suggesting one specific way to improve safely
Taking turns leading and checking technique
Accepting another person's chosen movement option
Giving a teammate a useful cue before a pass

5.True or false: Recovery time between stations is part of training because it can help participants prepare for the next effort.

TrueFalse

6.A teammate is finding shuttle runs difficult. Write one encouraging, practical comment that supports them without putting them down.

7.The group wants to make the circuit more challenging next week. Give one sensible way to progress it while keeping it safe.

8.Choose the best response if you disagree with a teammate about the circuit plan.

Ignore them and do your own plan
Listen to their reason, explain your view calmly and agree on a safe option
Tell the rest of the group to exclude them
Argue until they change their mind

9.Name one sign your body is working harder during the circuit, and one action that can support safe recovery afterwards.

10.Reflect on a team fitness activity you have taken part in or could take part in. Describe one contribution you could make to help the group work well, and explain why it would help.
