Description
Physical Activity: Training Module (12-Week) by Dr. Sheetal S. Shirke is a practical resource designed to support structured physical activity training through a progressive, week-by-week approach. The module combines endurance, strength and flexibility training with sports practice, making it suitable for physical education students, teachers, coaches and fitness-oriented learning environments.
The programme is organised around alternate-day, one-hour training sessions. Each session incorporates a warm-up, specific physical activities, sports practice and a cooling-down phase, providing a clear framework for conducting regular training. The 12-week progression develops through different running levels, cardio and aerobics activities, targeted strength exercises, stretching routines and yoga practices.
The book includes dedicated sections on warm-up and cooling-down exercises, explaining their role in preparing the body and supporting recovery. It also presents endurance activities such as progressive running, aerobics and cardio exercises, along with strength exercises organised into full-body, upper-body, core, gluteal, lower-leg and lower-body categories.
Flexibility training incorporates static stretching, dynamic stretching and yoga, supported by structured schedules and exercise demonstrations. The concluding instructional material also introduces a Traditional Teaching Method using demonstration, observation, imitation, guided practice, feedback, progressive integration and safety-focused instruction.
With its structured schedules, exercise guidance and practical orientation, this module can serve as a useful reference for organised physical education and training programmes.
