Strength

Ability to carry out work against a resistance.

Strength

What it could look like:

  • Push-ups, pull-ups
  • Squats and lunges
  • Lifting weights

Pre-foundational - Stage 0

I have the potential to learn through movement and physical activity.  At this stage I have limited movement capability and require support.

Foundation & Exploration - Stage 1

Establishes a foundation of strength and explores how to apply greater force.

  • Using light weights to complete a beginner's resistance training program
  • Lifting, pulling, pushing, resisting and moving objects

Acquisition & Accumulation - Stage 2

Demonstrates strength to lift, pull, push, rotate, resist or move body and/or objects.

  • Using weights that are appropriate for an intermediate resistance training program
  • Lifting, pulling, pushing, resisting and moving objects with safe and correct technique

Consolidation & Mastery - Stage 3

Optimises strength to meet the demands of participation in diverse movement and physical activity.

  • Using heavier weights to complete an advanced resistance training program to increase strength for improved performance
  • Lifting, pulling, pushing, resisting and moving heavier objects with safe and correct technique

Transfer & Empowerment - Stage 4

I am empowered by movement and physical activity. I continually transfer my skills, knowledge and feelings to different movement and physical activity contexts.  I use combinations of elements from all four domains, and apply my learnings through movement and physical activity to other aspects of my life.

  • Being an accomplished tennis player, you know that determination and regulating your emotions is an important part of the game.  To complement your cardiovascular fitness you complete gym sessions several times a week as you know building muscular strength is an important factor in preventing injuries. You enjoy the physical and mental demands of tennis and decide to further your knowledge by taking part in a coaching course. You hope to influence the culture of your tennis club by becoming a coach and being a role model for others.
