Group work
6-10 participants
The participants lie on their stomachs, form a circle and hold hands (or interlock arms). Depending on the size of the group, two to four "farmers" are nominated who now have to grab as many of the participants lying on the floor (carrots) by the feet and pull them out of the circle (time limit may apply). If they succeed in doing this with one of the participants, this person automatically becomes a "farmer". The aim is to have harvested all the "carrots" at the end.

Move your arms upwards while standing
Power
Individual work
Standing upright, hold two dumbbells at the side of your body with your arms hanging down, grasp the dumbbells with an underhand grip (palms facing forwards), raise your practically straight arms upwards in a circular motion so that your almost closed arms are pointing diagonally upwards in front of your head (first raise the dumbbells sideways before bringing your arms together slightly above head height at about shoulder height). While raising the dumbbells, turn your arms in so that the backs of your hands are pointing upwards in the end position. Then move your arms back to the starting position in the reverse sequence of movements.
Attention:
Keep your shoulders lowered and your back straight; always keep your arms under tension (do not let them hang completely or bring them fully together).
Lighten:
Without/less weight.
Harden:
More weight or additional weight (on the arms).
2 dumbbells
2 weight cuffs ► Make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
Move the arms forwards and backwards in a prone position ► W-extension / W-raise / W-Y-extension
Power
Lying on your stomach with your upper body slightly raised, feet shoulder-width apart, arms bent beside your body (hands at head height - palms facing inwards or downwards - W position), stretch your arms out diagonally forwards as an extension of your body and bend them back to the starting position.
Attention:
Do not lower your upper body and arms completely.
Lighten:
Lower your upper body/arms after each repetition or every now and then.
Harden:
Additional weight on the arms/in the hands.
Note:
The position of the hands is important for the target muscles and the position of the joints.
Palms facing down (pronated grip) = muscle activation: emphasizes the upper trapezius and the external rotators of the shoulder (e.g., infraspinatus, teres minor) / shoulder position: shoulders are more externally rotated / advantage: good posture correction, strengthens the back of the shoulders / disadvantage: can be uncomfortable or restrictive if you have shoulder problems.
Palms facing each other (neutral grip) = muscle activation: activates the middle trapezius, rhomboids, and rear deltoid muscles more strongly / shoulder position: less external rotation, easier on the joints / advantage: often more comfortable for the shoulder joints, better control / disadvantage: less targeted external rotation if that is the goal.
When to choose which: Shoulder health/rehab = neutral (palms facing each other)/focus on external rotators = pronated (palms facing down)/improve posture = both options are useful/keep movement pain-free = neutral is preferable.
Conclusion: The hand position during the W extension influences which parts of the shoulder muscles are used more and how stressful the movement is for the shoulder joints. Both variants are useful – depending on the goal or how it feels, both can be used (or even alternated during training).
Variation I:
Alternately raise one arm (instead of both at the same time).
Variation II:
Position on a flat bench or an incline bench.

Nordic Walking
Running training
Together in a group or individually
In a group or as an individual runner, a route defined by the sports leader is completed.
- Intensity level: 1-2
- Heart rate: 60-80%
- Speech rule: sing - chat
Variant:
The sports leader can specify the form of movement for certain sections of the route (e.g. marked with fanjons/trass tape).The sports director can specify the form of movement for certain sections of the course (e.g. marked with fanjons/tracing tape) (from fanjon 1: double pole, 2: diagonal stride, 3: hop run, 4: relaxed running stride).
Participant:
1 pair of Nordic walking poles

Nordic Walking (aktive Regeneration)
Regeneration
Together in the group
Active recovery is better than lying on the couch and doing nothing. However, it should be moderate exercise, i.e. easy cycling, jogging or Nordic walking in a more leisurely form.
In the group, a route defined by the sports leader is completed at a moderate pace.
- Intensity level: 1
- Heart rate: 60-70%
- Rule of thumb: Singing
Participant:
1 pair of Nordic walking poles
Number run
Orienteering
Single run or 2/3 groups
In the terrain, the sports director distributes posts in advance, which the participants then run to individually or in small groups during the numbered run. For this purpose, the participants receive a control overview and a running map. All even or odd-numbered controls are run according to the 1st marked control. Depending on the time available, the 3-person rule could also be an option. The numbered run is carried out as a form of exercise, as the different running routes vary. In this variant, the participants can be sent on the course without staggering, as they do not start in the same direction. The control overview with the running map is handed out together with the start signal. For the numbered run, each participant/group has a defined amount of time to find as many or all of the controls as possible. Under certain circumstances, several runs can also be carried out (e.g. even and odd controls).
Variant I:
Prepare the control transfer point: The participants do not receive a map on which the controls are already marked, but must mark the controls themselves at a control transfer point (e.g. using coordinates, azimuth or measuring point method). The control sheets remain at the start even after the transfer. Before the participants set off on the course, the sports director checks the marked controls.

Basic training
Group work
Groups of 4 (possibly integrate new group formation)
Form groups of four and number the participants within the group. The participants run behind each other in single file with a certain distance between them and at a normal basic pace (number one at the very back, number four at the very front). Number one catches up with number two, then number two catches up with number three, before number three catches up with number four. The number four now runs back to the number one before catching up and replacing the person in front starts all over again. According to the time specified by the sports director, the participants continue to move at the basic pace and the respective pace changes without interruption.
Variant I:
Change the distance of the participants.
Variant II:
Change the basic pace.
Variant III:
Change the group size (3-8 participants).
Variant IV:
The number one picks up the number two. The pair catches up with number three together, number three now takes over from number one, etc.

Groups of 4 (possibly integrate new group formation)
Form groups of four and number the participants within the group. The participants run behind each other in single file at a certain distance and at a normal basic pace (number four at the very back, number one at the very front). Number four overtakes all the other participants and continues to run at a faster pace until the distance to the person behind (number one) is approximately the same as the distance between the other runners. The number three then starts to overtake the runners in front (possibly with a shout from the new leader). According to the time set by the sports leader, the participants continue to move at the basic pace and the respective pace changes without interruption.

Orienteering
Orienteering
Single run or groups of 2/3
Send participants/groups onto the course in staggered formation (note the distance to the first starter/starting group on the run card)
In the terrain, the sports leader distributes the control points in advance, which the participants then approach individually or in small groups during the orienteering run. Participants receive an overview of the posts and a route map. The participants decide for themselves the order in which they mark off the controls (or the order can also be defined). The orienteering run can be carried out both as an exercise and as a competition. It is worth staggering both variants so that each participant/group has to work independently and does not simply follow a forerunner/group (note the time intervals/difference to the first start time on the run card for the evaluation). The control overview with the running map can either be handed out together with the start signal or distributed to the runners/groups a certain time before the start. For the orienteering run, each participant/group has a defined amount of time to find as many or as many controls as possible.
Variant:
Prepare the control transfer point: The participants do not receive a map on which the controls are already marked, but must mark the controls themselves at a control transfer point (e.g. using coordinates, azimuth or measuring point method). The control sheets remain at the start even after the transfer. Before the participants set off on the course, the sports director checks the marked controls.

Passport stress
Forms of play / exercises
Partner work
The pair stand opposite each other (facing their partner). A distance of approx. 3-4 metres is maintained between the binomial. The binomial tries to string together 10 successful passes as quickly as possible. A pass is successful if the throwing disc (the frisbee), the ball (with the playing equipment) is caught or the shuttle (ball) is returned correctly. If a mistake is made (the disc or the ball/shuttle falls to the ground), the count starts again. The distance can be varied as desired after a successful attempt.
Variant I:
Multiple groups of 2 compete against each other (2 rows). The winning binomial is the one that is the first to string together 10 successful passes after the sports director's start signal. After each pass, the distance is increased (one row moves back 1-2 steps).
Variant II:
The sports leader specifies a throwing/striking/passing technique, provided that the individual techniques have already been practised.
