SELF ASSESMENT

In this first term I have learnt some new things as how to use past perfect. The thing that I liked the most was making the project about a social media because I prefer doing that type of activities than regular classes. In my opinion I did well many things but I have to improve my vocabulary.

Sometimes I am confused about countable and uncountable nouns. Outside class I listen to music in English and sometimes I watch films in English. From my point of view I have to improve Vocabulary and Listening.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

P.E PROJECT

WHAT IS FNP? EXPLAIN ALL ITS PHASES AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE FOR THE QUADRICEPS AND ANOTHER FOR HAMSTRINGS

FNP (PNF in English) means PROPIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION and it is a stretching technique used to improve muscles elasticity and has been shown to have a positive effect on active and passive ranges of motions.

4 Phases are mainly differentiated:

A first passive stretching during 20 seconds

Followed by an isometric contraction of 8 seconds

A rest of approximately 5 seconds

And ending with a new passive stretching for 20 seconds

EXAMPLES:

Hamstrings: FNP of hamstrings consists of sitting on the floor and trying to touch your feet at the same time your partner is pushing you.

Quadriceps: FNP of quadriceps consists on lying down on the floor while our partner pushes our back with his arm and takes our leg to our waist

EXPLAIN THE GENERAL SYNDROME OF ADAPTATION AND ALL ITS PHASES. GIVE AN EXAMPLE

The General Syndrome of Adaptation (GAS) is a three stages procces that describes the physiological changes the body goes through when is under stress.

The three stages in which it is divided are:

1. Alarm reaction Stage: The Alarm Reaction Stage refers to the initial symptoms the body experiences when is under stress. This natural reaction prepares you to either flee or protect yourself in dangerous situations

2. Resistance stage: After the initial shock of a stressful event, the body begins to repair itself. It releases a lower amount of cortisol, and your heart rate and blood pressure begin to normalize.

3.Exhaustion: This stage is the result of prolonged or chronic stress. Struggling with stress for long periods can drain your physical, emotional and mental resources to the point where your body no longer has strenght to fight stress.

EXAMPLE:
- Failing an important exam
-Losing a close familiar
-Feeling lonely


EXPLAIN THE THRESHOLD LAW BY ARNOLD SCHULT. ILLUSTRATE WITH AN EXAMPLE.

This theory starts from the existence of a minimum threshold or stimulus necessary for somebody to produce, improve or adapt in the organism

It is a very personal issue. There is also a maximum tolerance or point from which only the fatigue and overtraining. According to this law,adaptation occurs as a result of physical efforts proposed in a consistent and appropiate manner so that the organism assimilates them progressively.

1 In the first case is very far from the threshold so neither the training is given nor improvements

2 In the second case at best if you could give the training if the job was repeated several times, but what would be achieved more that nothing would be fatigue and decreased performance.

3. The third case would be the ideal, in the musce, technical, organic, improvements are achieved

4 In the fourth case is not achieved any improvement and leads overtraining and fatigue.

EXAMPLE:

WHAT IS THE TRAINING LOAD AND WHAT ARE ITS COMPONENTS? EXPLAIN THEM AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF EACH ONE

In sports training load is a central phase through which performance of a sportsman is improved.
Every sports training consists of physical exercises which cause fatigue. Fatigue is directly a product of training load which helps in the process of adaptation.

Therefore training load and fatigue are important for any kind of sportsman performance.

COMPONENTS:

Volume: Training volume is the amount of work done.

 EXAMPLE: If I go to the gym for 1 hour, the volume 1 hour

Intensity:  Training intensity is how hard you train.

EXAMPLE: If I do a Farleck the Intensity is the type of Farleck (Low, Medium, High)

Frequency: Training frequency is how often you perform certain move, practice certain exercise or train certain muscle.

EXAMPLE: If I go running 2 times per week the frequency is 2 times per week

Density: Training density is the relation between work and each pause.

EXAMPLE: Reduce fatigue having breaks.

Duration: Is the repetitivity of the stimulus

EXAMPLE: If I do 20 push-ups the duration is 20.


EXPLAIN THE PRINCIPLES OF TRAINING ACCORDING TO THE CLASSIFICATION OF OLIVER (1985) AND ZINTL (1991)

Oliver establishes the following categories to classify the different principles:

-Principles related to the stimulation of physical conditioning:

• Variety

• Continuity

-Principles related to he systems to which the stimulus is directed.

• Specificity

• Multilaterality

• Specialization

-Principles related to the response to the stimulus.

• Individualization

Zintl classifies his proposed principes in three groups:

-Those who initiate the adaptation

• Effective stimulation of the load

• Progressive increase of the load

• Variety of the load

-Those that guarantee adaptation

• Optimum relationship between load and recovery

• Repetition and continuity

• Periodization

-Those who exercise specific control of adaptation.

• Indivualization

• Progressive specialization

• Alternation

LAST YEAR AT SCHOOL

SELF ASSESMENT

Well, from my point of view I have worked in a good way this year. Maybe I could have participated more at the moment of talk in class or ask questions. Now I have improved my oral skills and I have learnt much new vocabulary. In my opinion this blog portfolio is a less boring way of realising activities and projects and I hope the next year we will continue using it. Talking about my skills I think that I have improved almost all of them but I have to improve a lot my listening skills.

MY MUM TELLS ME OFF

I get on well with my parents most of the time and I think we have a good relationship. When I have a problem, they are the first people that I turn to for help. For example, if people at school pick on me, they will always be very sensitive and helpful.My parents also put up with me when I'm moody or lazy.Luckily,we don't fall out very often, but when we do, we make up and forget about it quickly! I really look up to them and respect them, but there's one thing that really annoys me. My mum always tells me off when I do something wrong,even for small things like leaving my shoes in the wrong place. The worst thing is that she tells meoff in forntof my friends. It's so embarrasing. What should I do?

Now I have learned more vocabulary and I can talk conversations in english in a better way and I have learned how to use past perfect. Outside class I sometimes listen to music and movies in english.

Eating healthy fare doesn’t require an all-night cookathon that leaves every pot and pan in your home stacked ceiling-high in the sink. Leave those endeavors to Gordon Ramsay. But we’re not saying you should toss all ambition aside for a frozen pizza, either. (Put the DiGiorno down now!)

. This salad, which contains these five main ingredients—corn tortillas, black beans, corn, chicken, and spinach—and can be ready in about 15 minutes. It will pack a punch on your palate but leave your waistline intact.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 176°C. Place tortillas on a baking tin. When oven is hot, heat tortillas until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Prepare corn according to package directions.

2. Divide spinach, chicken, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and cooked corn among serving plates. In a bowl, whisk together sour cream, olive oil, lime juice, chipotle chili powder, and a few pinches of salt.

3. Break tortillas into 1" pieces and sprinkle over salads. Drizzle sour cream dressing on top.
