Why Do We Know About Doing It?

Among these strengths, I have some weaknesses and challenges I will need to overcome. Foremost among these is the physical side of the Service Academy lifestyle. I lack upper body strength, and I seldom hold myself to any rigid or intense training regimen. Because of this, I will have to overcome the physical barriers presented by the candidate fitness assessment and daily physical training at an Academy. To prepare myself for this, I have begun working out almost daily at home, focusing on my own personal weaknesses and striving to overcome the challenges they

After that we have ten to twenty sixty yard sprints. Then go straight into 4 sets of doing an eight exercise workout with forty five pound plates. This is done in rotation with stance and hand fighting. Running this and doing the sprints and plait workout alone would be almost unbearable. Knowing that there are over twenty teammates going through it right beside you helps everyone push just a little bit more.

This means that I choose movements that feel good within my body as well as only exerting as much energy as feels good for my body. I never workout to exhaust myself completely. This workout took me about 25 to 35 minutes.

“We have PT five times a week. I generally get up around 5 AM, we start PT around 5:45 AM and that goes until 7 AM, with various exercises mixed in between,” Guerra said, “Then depending on the day I have a little bit of a break before I go to Cross Country practice at around 7:30 AM.”

In the final, and the most important section of the paper, the Concordia University Wisconsin Macrocycle is laid out with every detail, and generally workout concepts an athlete will participate in throughout the athletic year. After reading this portion of the paper, many parts of the macrocycle look very familiar to me, as I have already gone through them. What I took out of this that I felt was the most surprising aspect of the macrocycle, was how well thought out, and how far ahead the preparation is for the training of the university's athletes. The thing that I took out of this paper that I will try to take with me the rest of my athletic career, is that there is a lot of preparation and effort that goes into my training here, and these training programs are made for my benefit, so I should not waste the strength coach’s time by not giving it my all in the weight room, or not showing up at all. I will continue to follow the macrocycle for the rest of my career here at Corcyra, and hopefully it will take me to new heights in my athletic

California reported over 1.85 million veterans in September of 2014 and a large portion of these individuals suffers from a variety of disabilities, which requires them to need additional assistance in proper fitness activities (National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics [NCVAS], 2014, figure 2). There are several gyms, boot camps, and fitness centers across the nation, but what sets our facility apart from others is our ability

Upon getting approved for funding and recruited the needed participants, I then plan to bring the participants to do pre-test measurements. To begin the study, I would have all participants take five swings to determine their personal maximum distance. Next, I will have my participants travel to the Turner Center at the University of Mississippi to determine their maximum weight they are able to bench press and squat for the weight training aspect of the study. For the resistance training, I plan to utilize numerous exercises, among these include, but not limited to: bench press, squat, wrist curls, bicep curls, and leg press. I will require my participants to train three days a week. This will allow them to have a rest day in between work-out days so they are not causing too much stress on their body. There is also the risk of injuries that could affect how the participants are able to weight train.

“Sport is the force that unites and empowers us to be better, no matter how you look, what you believe or what language you speak.” These words of Olympian Simone Biles illustrate my life-long passion for sports and the science behind it. I had been an athlete all my life and planned on continuing my track and field career at the collegiate level before a critical injury switched my focus from athletics to academics. When I began my studies at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, I knew my future would involve helping athletes grow to their fullest potential in strength, athleticism, and overall health. Having majored in Health Science with a focus in Health and Wellness Promotion and a minor in Nutrition, I would now like to concentrate on Strength and Conditioning.

I grouped 4-5 exercises into a set and repeat each set 3 times with 1-2 minute breaks in between.

Active video games are also being marketed for adults. New Gaming companies have been turning their gaming systems into exercise machines (Recio 143). This new game keeps the player fit while watching television. One machine will incorporate a favorite show into an aerobic workout by broadcasting the selected show loud and clear during the exercise. Once the person starts to decrease their effort the volume will drop, and if they continue to decrease, the television will shut off leaving nothing to watch. This creates a good workout environment involving exercises and entertainment into a strict exercise agenda. Workout levels can range from heavy lifting or swimming (Recio 143). These workout levels are increasing stamina causing weight loss and health awareness. The new video machines can drastically change an adults workout routine.

This case of practice is a peer-coaching situation completed with the physical education/weight-lifting instructor at our high school. For the purpose of the assignment, the mentee will be referred to by the initials BK. The purpose of this practicum aligns with the following purposes from Carr’s Peer Coaching Study Groups (2005):
