In this paper I will start out by talking about 4 tests from my freshmen year. One baseline test I took was the 12 minutes swim test; during the baseline I got 17 walls in the allowed 12 minutes. On the post 12-minute swim I reached a total of 21 walls. I can see visible progress/improvement during the 12-minute swim; I gained a total of 4 walls during the posttest. There was a change because I was constantly doing physical activity through hockey on and off the ice. Outside of school and hockey I did not do any other physical activity. I had a great attitude toward doing these exercise I was not on a healthy eating choice but exercising a lot helped. I was not ill and did not have an injury during this time. My short-term goal is to keep exercising …show more content…
My short-term goal is to go to the gym through out high school and college to stay in shape. My long-term goal is to do this exercise at least once a week. During freshmen year I also had a 1-minute plank during the baseline testing. On the post plank test I had a time of 2 minutes and 15 seconds. I had an improvement of one minute and fifteen seconds. There was a change in times because I was in sports during the time of these tests. There was also a change because I was in school gym, which made me more fit to be able to do these exercises. I had a great attitude during the time of work out which helped me to do better during the plank test. I was not making healthy choices or eating nutritious meal that could have increased my time even more. I was not injured or ill during this time. My short-term goal is to keep trying to increase my time on the plank test and keep working at it because in my opinion it is one of the harder tests. My long-term goal is to get into a work out program at the gym in Sartell to stay fit. During my 10th grade baseline 12-minute swim test I got a total of 19 walls. During the post 12-minute swim test I received a total of 21 …show more content…
I was also working on my wall sit at home hoping to achieve my goal of five minutes. I was trying to eat healthier during this time and I was in hockey. I was not injured or ill during this time. My short-term goal is to keep being active and to eat healthy. My long-term goal is to keep at fit as possible and to keep my family in shape and healthy. During 10th grade I had a baseline score of 20 push-ups. On the post push up test I had a total of 21 push-ups. This is an improvement of 1 push-up. There was little change because at this time I was no longer in hockey. I think this factor changed my endurance a little because I was not working out everyday anymore. I also was not doing any other workouts outside of school. I was in the motions of eating healthier so that could have helped a little. I did not have a very positive attitude because I did not think I would be able to do that many. I was not injured or ill at this time. My short-term goal is to do some club sports at college to stay fit and in shape. My long-term goal is to get other people to be fit and to work out in a group of people. During the front plank baseline test I received a total time of one minute and 30
Looking at my post test scores from the past two years, my results have fluctuated. In 9th grade, my push-up baseline score was 30 and my post test score was 40. This year, I started out with only 20 push-ups for my baseline score, but I ended with 40. In both my 9th grade and 10th grade baseline tests for the 12-minute run, I ran 2200 meters, and improved to 2500 meters at the end. My baseline score in 9th grade for the 12-minute swim was 38 lengths and I achieved 41 lengths for my post test. This year, I started out by swimming 40 lengths and eventually completed 41 lengths for my post test score. My front plank was only 2:00 for my 9th grade baseline test, but I was able to get 5:00 at the end of the quarter. This year, I started with 2:15
Prior to designing the training program, fitness testing was completed. This tested the main fitness components that would be applied in physical activity. It was important that this was done in order to find my strengths and weaknesses
Lab 2.1 consisted of an assessment that evaluated my overall health and whether I was healthy enough to begin a fitness program. Based off of the information in this lab it was determined that I have no physical or health related conditions that prevent me from beginning a fitness program. I determined from this lab that since I am already active I would benefit the most over the course of this class from increasing the duration and intensity of my activities (Fahey, Insel & Roth, 2013, pg.48) and to maintain an overall healthy diet. The area I saw that needed a change was the amount of alcohol I consumed over the weekend. I have since cut that down to 1-2 drinks per week. I still workout five days a week and maintain a healthy diet. The changes
Honestly the past couple of days, I did not work out. Stayed indoors most of the time completing unfinished work and studying for upcoming tests. However, the reason for not working out is because there is a theory I want to attempt this week. Challenges I faced over the past couple of days were visuals for Marching Band. Okay, there are some people in the world who says that Marching Band ain't a sport. In my opinion, a sport is defined by physical exertion output (endurance), skills, rules, and competition. Though that is just my opinion, others have their own definition of what is considered a sport. Overall, since I have done absolutely nothing for the past week. Adjustments are necessary for the upcoming week. Requiring me to exercise daily and comparing the data I have collected from the past couple of days. The progress that I and Wendy have remarkably benefited us in terms of physical appearance. Our endurance and determination to keep pushing forward have increased exponentially.
I began the baseline measurements on a Wednesday, timing and recording the length each time I exercised for 14 days. I graphed the results, and determined the average length of each session. With this information, and professional guidelines, I set my goal to a minimum 30mins per session, and at least 3 sessions per week. I determined the goal was realistic, based on the baseline results, and my exercise history. I then implemented the program for a further 14 days, using reinforcers. When I achieved my daily goal, I allowed myself time to play my computer game; and when I achieved my weekly goal, I went out with my friends on the weekend. On the days I didn’t achieve my goals, I did not allow myself to play the computer, or go out with friends.
I achieved my goal by mostly working on my plank and holding it for a longer period of time. When I first did my testing for holding a plank I got 27 seconds. When we redid the testing I achieved one minute which was a big improvement for me. I also had an improvement in my muscular endurance when I did my push ups, when we first did the testing I got 2 pushups in 1 minute but when we re-did the testing I achieved 6 pushups in one minute. This was a big achievement for myself. So in conclusion I believe
My physical activity, which is swimming will enhance my participation in physical activity, and help reach all of the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines. The physical activity is the best choice for my lifestyle, as it not only is for me, but also helps me in two physical activity levels; aerobic activity, and active sports and recreation. By adding swimming to my physical activities, I will achieve all Australian Physical Activity Guidelines. This is two more than before I added swimming to my daily physical activity. My new physical activity helps me reach the Australian Guidelines because it’s an aerobic activity, and it is a vigorous intensity activity. Swimming also helps strengthen my muscles and bones. By swimming 40 minutes a day
During the fitness testing, I did 20 push-ups. I reached the 50th percentile of 12 push-ups, and I could have reached the presidential goal of 24 push-ups if I had put in more effort during the testing, because I know I have the upper body strength from working out on my own. To maintain and improve my upper body strength, I will continue to do push-ups and strength
“Sigfusdottir (2007) found that body mass index and physical activity were responsible for as much as 24% of all differences in academic achievement. Dwyer et al's (2001) evaluation of nearly 1 million students in grades 5 through 9 found that those with higher levels of physical fitness (particularly aerobic capacity) achieved higher scores on standardized tests (this effect was strongest for mathematics tests). Shepherd (1997) found that reducing academic class time by 240 minutes per week and replacing it with physical activity increased scores on standardized math tests.”
Even though my goals for school were specific, measurable, attainable, and relevant, I needed more time to enhance my aerobic fitness enough to score 9.1 for my beep test. In addition, I also noticed significant improvements in all components of fitness for my cadet personal fitness goals, but I did not reach my goal for the 20m shuttle run. I would like to note that I was extremely close to achieving it, and I had been given slightly more time. Again, I will infer that I simply needed a maximum of one or two more weeks to reach my aerobic fitness goals. As for performing 50 push ups in one minute, we were not consistent with the style of push ups done between the testings (we varied between the method where you bend your arms to 90 degrees and the method involving lifting your hands from the mat between every push up) so it is likely my score was negatively affected by having to switch to the more intensive and time-consuming push up method, instead of doing the push up style I had been
The sport I have chosen to do for this task is swimming. In this task I will be identifying my strengths and weaknesses as well as what fitness tests I can undertake to help my fitness training.
When I was in 9th grade ran 2400 meters on the 12 min run but at the end of the 9th grade year ran 2600 meters on the 12 min run. So as you can see I made some very big improvements on my 12 min run. I also got a 14 laps my 9th grade baseline and I got 17 for the post test and in 10th grad I got 17 for my baseline and 18 on the post test. I got a 35 on the pushup test for my baseline in 9th grade and for the posttest I got a 40. I got a 120 on the bench press in 9th grade and a 130 for my post rest in 9th and 10th grade. I got a 30 in 9th grade for my 1 min sit up and a 32 for my post test and I only got only a 25 for my post test in 10th grade.
For the past three days I have gone to the Payne Center for at least forty-five minutes. During this time, I did twenty minutes of cardio and about 25 minutes of weights. For cardio I either did the bike or a few laps around the track. The past three days of weight I switched up my routine a little. The first day I focused on my arms and back, the second day was mainly legs, and then the third day was dedicated to my core. When I went to the Payne today I did a two mile ride on the bike and concentrated on my arms and back. In the next two days, I will continue my cardio. Tomorrow I will focus on my legs and then the next day I will do core exercises. Saturday will be a day to rest and rejuvenate my muscles. During the week, I have also walked
When I first looked at the physical criteria I needed to complete for this assignment, I thought it was going to be easy and I would be excellent in every category. I was an athlete since early elementary school and was always running and lifting in high school, as well as going to school volleyball practice, school track practice, and club volleyball practice. When I got to college I decided it was time to give up my passion for sports and focus on school. I never thought doing a push up would be challenging for me until I tried to do multiple in a row for the push-up test today. Once I got to college I stopped working out as much, only going three times a week max. As my classes grew more challenging in the beginning of my first semester I found myself not going to the
The first thing I would like to talk about would be the amount of exercise. The total amount in a week was to have 150 minutes. Well within 3 days, I had over 900 minutes. I actually bet there was more than that, but that’s all I could remember. That is also including Wednesday me being sick with strep throat (as for this whole week actually.) It is kind of crazy even though I was sick, I still managed to get 900 minutes in 3 days. For logged time on Wednesday, I included a 35 minutes walk I take everyday with my dogs down the road. That is all I did Wednesday as I said, I was very ill with strep throat, as well as for all week and as I am writing this paper. Next is Thursday. Of course I took the usual 35 minute walk with my two pups. I was farming most of the day, and I only put 200 minutes of vigorous activity when actually now thinking of it probably was much more than that since we were unloading hay bales and I was feeding the baby calves. If you have ever fed over 150 baby calves twice a day, it is very exhausting work. On Friday I also did the daily 35 minute walk with the puppies. I did go to work on the farm for a little while, but I sat
