Demonstrate correct pacing strategies for middle distance running (800 m equivalent) by completing a timed run without stopping to walk.
Perform the standing long jump using proper take-off, flight, and landing technique, recording their distance in centimetres.
Execute an overhead throw (shot put style or javelin style, using adapted equipment) with correct grip, stance, and follow-through.
