ULTIMATE FRISBEE




Hi everyone!
We have done a new activity. It was a training session of Ultimate Frisbee with a group of classmates. We chose this sport to practice the tactics, the throws and to improve our quality in the game.

To make a good and complete workout, we followed different steps:

-First, we started running about 4 or 5 minutes and, after that, we stretching and rotation our joints to warm up.

   

-Next, a fitness task to develop the physical ability.
In groups of three we played a fun game that consisted of: One person has the disc and the others have to assign a number (1, 2). Then the thrower says a number and throws the disc to the goal area, so the player with this number runs to catch it.





















                                       
-Afterwards, the technical task for the technique of the movements. 
We realised an easy circuit in groups of three. Two of us had to stand   aligned and the other person had to run slowly and pass the disc to the first partner using “back hand”, and to the second partner using “flick”; so we worked essential throws. At the end of a round, positions changed in the direction of clockwise.




-Then, an individual tactical task.
With three people in each groups; one person was thrower, another was the receptor and the other person had to break the pass defending one side. After each pass we were changing the positions as a braid: the receptor became the thrower, the old defender had to catch the disc, and the old thrower had to defend.















-Later, the collective tactical task. The best form to realise this task is playing a Frisbee match, so we separated in two teams and we were playing having a great time.


                  

-Finally, we did the cool down walking (during aprox a minute) and doing some stretches. That’s very important; nevertheless a lot of people don’t know it.

SMARTPHONE APPS
Smartphone apps are very useful to develop your training methods. Some of them are very good, for example:

-Nike + Running. It is an application specifically designed to run and take statistics of your exercise. You can find the distance you march,  you rhythm, and the time you take.

-FitNotes Gym Workout Log. It includes a database of exercises to help you to classify your workouts correctly, and it can save your training records so you can track what you're doing, and give you the possibility to create routines and exercises adapted to yourself.



-RunKeeper.
This application is as a follower of performance for runners. You can create running routes, track your performance, make a health plan...
