Elite sprinters can often have a makeup of up to 90% of fast twitch fibres, it helps them to be so fast. Incredibly long-distance competitors can have a make-up of up to 80% of type I (slow twitch fibres). It enables them to conserve energy and allows them to perform at such high intensity for long periods of time without getting tired quickly.

Fast twitch fibers can be an aid to sprinter to quickly engender a lot of force (BUT can switch from fast through increase of training)

According to the textbook, “skill learning takes place through a predictable and consistent sequence. It is also similar to that of growth and development by how the rate of learning a skill is different across people and depends on a person’s environment as well as their previous experiences” (Hastie, 2012).

People start learning from birth and there are many factors that affect it. For example attitudes affect an individual way of learning and handling.

Introduction Patricia Benner’s Model of Skill Acquisition in Nursing Despite our level of expertise or achievements, we all to some degree remember what it was like to be at the beginning of our career.

Another few aspects I learned were my learning styles, personality types, and temperaments. These aspects of being a peak performer shed light on the inner workings of your mind to see how you handle different tasks. Some personality types include a visual learner; a person who prefers to see information and read the material, so they have a better understanding of the information given. An auditory learner; a person who prefers to rely on their hearing sense, to focus on different things such as lectures or audiobooks and summarize information out loud to process the information given.

Today’s skill development session covered motivational interviewing and the model of change. It covered client disengagement, understanding client motivation and the role of denial. It also covered motivational interviewing key principles and initial practice consideration in assessment. There was a question asked at the beginning of the session; “is poor engagement a worker problem?, I thought the answer was no, because I thought the service user was responsibility for changing their situation with help from a worker.

Muscular endurance is very important for people playing sports and who have to sustain an activity for long periods of time. Muscular endurance is determined by how well your slow twitch muscle fibers are developed. In case your wondering what slow twitch muscle fibers are, I will explain. There are generally two types of muscle fibers in your body, slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch muscle fibers cannot exert as much force as fast twitch, but can sustain an effort over a much greater period of time. Fast twitch muscle fibers can exert a great amount of force but for a very limited amount of time. Therefore, slow twitch equals endurance, while fast twitch equals strength.

After researching and interviewing professionals in the accounting field, I have honed in on my four soft skills I will develop to look more attractive to companies. I will be develop my skills in verbal communication, written communication, building relationships, and leadership.

A leader also has to build relationships with the community, so the leader knows how to handle each situation when leading the community.

Three skills that are important for a good instructor to possess are good public speaking skills, a creative approach to teaching, and an overall enthusiasm for the subject he or she is teaching.

According to the skills identification worksheet, I have a grand total of 21 skills, mostly through job and school experience. While some of these skills I gained in the military, I consider military experience as job experience, so I did not mark them as “other experience”.
