Game Of Touch

The Mickey Mouse Monopoly documentary reveals the obscure social messages behind the animated films created by the Disney Company. Although we are conditioned to believe that these movies are pure forms of entertainment, further examination has proved that there are hidden messages concerning gender, race and class that Disney is instilling in the minds of children. The speakers in the documentary argue that Disney is extremely political and hides its ideas behind innocence, magic and fun. When masked by features that are appealing to a younger audience, it is difficult to realize these ideas without taking a closer look.

At the begging of this system it reacts quite slowly, however after certain duration of time it produces a large amount of ATP ready for the Cycle of the 3 energy systems to endure. The aerobic system does not contribute greatly to a game of touch football as the activity does not last up to duration of 5 minutes. In relation to my performance in a game of touch football, I have found that my energy systems are coping rather well, as I am able to continuously carry out fast wrucks most of the time, therefore producing the right amount of ATP in my body.

Evaluation of the Components of Fitness and an Analysis to Their Relevance of Touch Football

D1 outline the relationships between the cardiovascular, respiratory and energy systems before, during and after a sporting activity

This term in PE we have been focusing on energy systems and exercise physiology principles in Touch Football. In touch there are three positions: middle, link and wing. My fitness results, when compared to an Australian Touch Association player (ATA player), are only satisfactory. My speed and cardiovascular endurance were within range of ATA players but my agility was not, therefore, I have chosen wing as my best-suited position as the key fitness components for this position are speed, agility, power and cardiovascular endurance. In order for me to improve in my least acquired skill, agility, I must incorporate agility based skill exercises into my Dingo Flats training program. The purpose of this presentation is to present and evaluate the

A game of touch requires the use of all energy systems at once but in varied amounts. The body will automatically choose which energy system it requires the most based on the fitness components used. It has been identified above that the three main components used by a middle are; Aerobic capacity, muscular endurance and coordination. In figure 12.5 it shows the relationship between components of fitness and energy systems. Both aerobic capacity and muscular endurance relate to the Aerobic system. The aerobic system uses oxygen and is generally one of low-mid intensity and/or of a longer duration. Middles utilise this energy system because they continuously require energy production at an almost equal rate.

Touch is fast and skilful game attracting participants of all shapes and sizes, genders and backgrounds. Touch began as a training game for the two rugby codes during the 1950's and 60's it was never seen as a sport in its own right.

This term in PE we have been focusing on energy systems and exercise physiology principles in Touch Football. My fitness results, when compared to an Australian Touch Association player are only satisfactory. I have chosen wing as my best-suited position for Touch Football. The purpose of this presentation is to analyse a generic touch training program, the “Dingo Flats Training Program” and evaluate whether it is suitable to improve my touch football specific fitness needs and then present a reinvigorated program that will aim for me to achieve a high level performance of touch football based on training principles and my experiences.

For this term’s HPE unit, we have learnt about core physiological principles as well as fitness and training concepts, and how this would relate to touch football. This knowledge was then utilised to design, evaluate and modify an individual one week training program (microcycle) to enhance performance in touch football. The task of this assessment is to analyse the training program upon completion, by evaluating its strengths and weaknesses and finally modifying this ‘microcycle’ to rectify any weaknesses that may have be identified.

Three laps around the gym, minute long planks, crunches, sit-ups, and pushups in a matter of thirty minutes. As a dancer, experiencing and realizing the strength that needs to be present in order for an athlete to grow is vital. We go through long hours of choreography sessions, pain and strain on our bodies, and vigorous training. Many people will disagree on the status of if dance is a sport or not. Both Mary- Elizabeth Esquibel, in her article “Why Dance Will Always Be a Sport” and the infographic entitled “Is Dance a Sport?” attack this controversial dilemma. Even though these arguments use different formats, they use rhetoric similarly.

“Dancer’s are the athletes of God,” Albert Einstein said. Dance has many structures to it; there is modern, ballet, contemporary, and tap just to name a few. Dancing should be recognized as a sport. Dancing has the same components as a sport does; dance improves memory, balance and coordination, and it provides a mental escape.

The increase in cardiac output is therefore a result of an increase in stroke volume huge enough to slightly outweigh the decreased heart rate in the equation. As a result of training a touch football player would experience a higher cardiac output, meaning that the body’s cells are replenished more regularly, thus improving the performance of the touch football player.

“Impulse” is a quick-playing space-themed board game for 2-6 players. Although it is rated “E” by ESRB, it would not be very interesting for children because of quite complex rules.

Physical fitness has two main classifications-performance related and health related. People have different performance related requirements in accordance with their occupation but all people have the same health related requirements (The World). Then there are two types of exercise that helps tone a person’s body while increasing its endurance. These are aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic exercise is exercise that uses the muscles and bones. Cardio activities are a good example of this, such as running or biking. This type of exercise increases the strength of a person’s heart and boosts their lung capacity. Anaerobic exercise is an intense but short amount of exercise (Payment). Since it is only for a brief amount of time, it does not require the amount of oxygen aerobic exercise does. Instead it uses glycogen which comes from the sugar in a person’s blood. An example of this exercise is weight lifting or sprinting. A person’s requires both anaerobic and aerobic exercise for good health. Simply doing a cardio work out is not healthy, and for a person to see real results there must be some activity like weight lifting (“Anaerobic”).
