SELF ASSESMENT

The end has come and I can't realise that four years have passed since I entered for first time in this high school. In this four years I have learnt a lot of new grammar and vocabulary but in my opinion I've specially improved my listening. It has been four wonderful years learning here and hope that next years will be similar. Happy Holidays and goodbye Tomás Bretón

MEMORIES OF MY SCHOOL DAYS

First grade

I remember that my first day at Tomás Bretón wasn’t very enjoyable for me, because most of my friends were in another class so I spent most of the time thinking about my bad luck instead of paying attention to the teachers who were introducing theirselves and explaining their subjects.

As the days passed I started talking with new people and making new friends so everything turned better, but I hated to leave class later than at primary school so of course I also hated the seventh hour.

 The most remarkable project of this course was the performance of the Shakespeare’s play: A midsummer night’s dream.

Second grade

The first course finished and after summer, the second one started. I was really looking forward to the English week but it was passed to the third grade so I was really disappointed.

In this course we created our own blogs to upload the projects that we made in class and at first I thought that it was a bad idea but actually it has been very useful.

Third grade

The third course started and in the first weeks during the clases I was thinking all the time: This class was better last year. But finally it has been one of the years that I’ve enjoyed the most.

In this course I started with a bit of fear because in my case I noticed that there were some subjects that were quite difficult comparing them with the previous year, but finally everything went ok.

This year the English Week couldn’t be done because there weren’t enough teachers, but luckily I could go to France with the French class and it was great.

Fourth grade

The fourth grade had arrived and I couldn’t believe that so much time had passed since I started in this High School and I hoped that it would be a great course and it is being a great course.

We’ve finally gone to Ireland in the English Week after so much time of waiting and I enjoyed it a lot because it was a new and different experience-

We’ve gone to Malaga of end-of-school trip

And in spite of it is a difficult year because the contents of some subjects are quite hard, I wouldn’t change anything of what I’ve done.

This has been my experience in Tomás Bretón and I think that it has been incredible to be here during this four years next to all my classmates and I hope that the following years will be similar.

Thanks

Comment:

In order to adapt my daily intake of food to the healthy parameters

that were ordered, I've add firstly the five pieces of fruit that were

neccesary and then I've replaced the food that had many fats such as

fried potatoes for other healthier and with more carbohydrates and proteins 

instead of so much fats. All of this considering the reference values of 

the amount of calories that I need to consume.

SELF ASSESMENT

In my opinion this term I've worked hard but I think that I can do it much better and improve in a great way my skills much more than now. In the future if I continue in this level I think I will be able to travel to other countries and don't have problems of communication.

Aerobic and Anaerobic metabolism

Anaerobic metabolism is the creation of energy through the combustion of carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. This occurs when your lungs cannot put enough oxygen into the bloodstream to keep up with the demands of your muscles for energy. It generally is used only for short bursts of activity, such as when you go for a sprint when running or cycling or when you are lifting heavy weights.

Aerobic metabolism is the way your body creates energy through the combustion of carbohydrates, amino acids, and fats in the presence of oxygen. Combustion means burning, which is why this is called burning sugars, fats, and proteins for energy. Aerobic metabolism is used for the sustained production of energy for exercise and other body functions. Examples of exercises that use aerobic metabolism include walking, running, or cycling with sustained effort.

In the aerobic metabolic process, the human body uses a molecule of glucose to produce 36 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules. ATP is what fuels your muscles. Anaerobic metabolism, which is used for vigorous muscle contraction, only produces two ATP molecules per glucose molecule, so it is much less efficient.


Your body will often switch between aerobic and anaerobic metabolism during sports and exercise activities that require short bursts of sprints as well as sustained jogging, such as in soccer, tennis, and basketball.

Difference between Aerobic and Anaerobic metabolism:

• Anaerobic metabolism is not as efficient as aerobic metabolism.

• A molecule of glucose can only produce three ATP molecules under anaerobic metabolism, while it produces 39 with aerobic metabolism.

• Anaerobic metabolism can only use glucose and glycogen, while aerobic metabolism can also break down fats and protein.

VOCABULARY UNIT 3

Kinetic: Related to or caused by motion

Mechanical: Operated or produced by machinery

Wireless: Having no wire

High-tech: Technologically advanced

Computer Generated: Something that is created using a computer

Solar powered: Something that works using power derived directly from the sun's rays

VICTOR'S BLOG VIDEO COMMENT

In my opinion it is a very useful video because it speaks about an interesting topic, Aerobic vs Anaerobic exercise, and it explains it not only speaking , it also uses images and that help people to understand it. From my point of view we should watch more videos like this in class because for example, in my case I didn't really know nothing about ATP and how it is created and I think it is very useful

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.

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. 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAVE A GOOD SUMMER!!!!!!
