Goldstone PE Buddy Project - Final Reflection

1. What adjustments and improvements did you make in your lessons (structure, activities, organization, instructions) from the first lesson to the last one?

 

From the first lesson to the last lesson some adjustments we made were how we explain the instructions IE. Loudness of voice, simplifying the rules...

After week one we saw how the kids behaved and we based our lessons on their behaviour.

2.  What was the biggest challenge for your group?  For you?



For my group the biggest challenge was stepping up and taking a leadership role and having loud enough voices.
For me, my biggest challenge was not stepping over my group mates and taking full control.



3.  Describe your favourite moment as a leader and explain why.



As a leader my favourite part was just seeing the kids being active and happy. I like this because seeing kids happy and having fun makes me happy and it makes me want to go to school and become a teacher even more so I can work with kids every day.




4. What do you still need to work on?  What improvements would you make if you were continuing teaching for another month?



If we were to do this for another month, I think that we could plan out all of our lesson plans so the can be all connected to a greater goal. I would also try to remember to bring my whistle every day.




PE Buddies -


1.  What are some of the things that you learned being a PE buddy?



Being a buddy, I learned different ways to teach kids of different ages from the other groups of leaders. I also learned what it takes to make a kid want to participate in the class, if I did not match their energy then they looked bored and not really excited to be there.





2.  Did your comfort level change over the course of the month?  Why or why not?


With already working with kids every week I was very comfortable with them so my comfort level did not change. I always love working with  kids no matter how old they and or how annoying they may be.







3.  What was your favourite part of being a buddy?  Be specific.


My favourite of being a buddy as getting to know the kids and watching them have lots of fun with the different tasks/ games they played. I love seeing the kids happy and having fun without PE the kids would not be able to be as active as they are.

Shin Splints

SHIN SPLINTS ( Medial Tiblial Stress Syndrome. MTSS)

I have shin splints and have no idea what they are. So here it goes this is what I found,

First off what are shin splints?

Shin splints are the inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue near the Tibia. Usually one feels the pain on the inner part of the shin bone, where the muscle attaches to the bone.

Shin Splints can be caused by many things. For one, they can be caused by having flat feet our not normal arches in your feet. Flat feet can increase stress on muscles in the lower leg during exercise.

Many gymnasts get shin splints from tumbling and vaulting!

This is caused by the amount of pressure/ stress put on the bones and muscles in the legs.

A gymnast's time spent tumbling and vaulting can be damaging. The landings and take - offs cause the Tibilalis Anterior to contract and relax at a very fast speed. Over working of this muscle can being to cause it to tear away from the tibia. It can be very painful, but not in all cases.

Not just gymnasts are affected by MTSS, many runners and other athletes are affected by the syndrome every day. 

Some times MTSS can allow the tibia to actually crack slightly, they are called minute cracks.

Shin splints can cause a person a lot of pain and discomfort which could result in them quitting their passion or worse getting seriously hurt because of the MTSS.

My shin splints have been so bad that I haven't been able to vault for days on end. But now that I have better shoes and orthotics my shin splints haven't really been a problem lately.

Muscle movement and origins

Triceps Brachii	Longhead: infraglenoid tubercle of scapula Lateral Head: above the radial sulcus Medial Head: below the radial sulcus	ulna	Extends forearm
Biceps Brachii	Short head: coracoid process of scapula Long head: supraglenoid tubercle	Radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis into fascia on medial part of forearm	Flexes elbow, flexes and supinates hand
Deltoid	Anterior border and upper surface of lateral third of clavicle, acromion, spine of scapula	Deltoid tuberosity of humerus	Shoulder abduction, flexion and extension
Latissimus Dorsi	Spinous processes of vertebrae T7 –L5 thoracolumbar fascia iliac crest, inferior 3 or 4 ribs and inferior angle of scapula	Floor of inertubercular groove of the humerus	Extends and adducts shoulder and arm dorsally( pulls arm across back)
External Obliques	Ribs 5 – 12 (lower ribs)	Iliac crest, pubic tubercle, linea alba	Compresses abdomen and rotates trunk
Trapezius	External occipital protuberance, nuchal ligament, medial superior nuchal line, spinous processes of vertebrae C7 – T12	Posterior border of the lateral third of the clavicle, acromion process, and spine of scapula	Extends head; raises and adducts shoulders dorsally (shrugging shoulders)
Pectoralis Major	Clavicular head: anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle. Sternocostal head: anterior surface of the sternum, the superior six costal cartilages and the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle	Lateral lip of the bicipital groove of the humerus (anteromedial proximal humerus)	Flexes and adducts shoulder and arm ventrally(pulls arm across chest)
Gluteus Maximus	Gluteal surface of ilium, lumbar fascia, sacrum, sacrotuberous ligament	Gluteal tuberosity of the femur and iliotibial tract	Extends thighs( forms buttocks)
Sternocleidomastoid	Clavicle	Mastoid process of the temporal bone	Turns head to side; flexes neck and head

Effects of Drugs on the Human Kidneys ( nephrotoxicity)

Nephrotoxicity - a poisonous effect of some substances, both toxic chemicals and medications on the kidney


This is not to be confused with the fact that some medications have a predominantly renal excretion and need their dose adjusted for decreased renal function. An example of this is Heparin.


Heparin:

A sulphur-containing polysaccharide, it is used as an anticoagulant in the treatment of thrombosis. Used on patients who are suffering from kidney failure.

Drugs cause approximately 20 percent of community-and hospital-acquired episodes of acute renal failure. Drugs are a common source of acute kidney injury. Compared with 30 years ago, the average patient today is older.

Some patient-related risk factors for drug-induced nephrotoxicity are age older than 60 years, underlying renal insufficiency (e.g., glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL per minute), volume depletion, diabetes, heart failure, and sepsis.

Among older adults, the incidence of drug-induced nephrotoxicity may be as high as 66 percent. Compared with 30 years ago, patients today are older, have a higher rate of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, take multiple medications, and are exposed to more diagnostic and therapeutic procedures with the potential to harm kidney function. Although renal impairment is often reversible if the offending drug is discontinued, the condition can be costly and may require multiple interventions, including hospitalization.

5 week fitness plan

Here is my fitness calendar




https://onedrive.live.com/redir?page=view&resid=CE21DC73F4BF5F76!925&authkey=!AMcn48j4WHdsQKY



To view just copy and paste the above link and to see page 2 just click the 2 at the bottom in the left corner


Overall my fitness plan worked out well I was able to keep up with my exercise over the 2 weeks of work experience. Before I started I could only do 4 minute plank and now I can do a 7 minute, and I can now do 100 it ups in a row and before I could only do 60.
 After doing this I feel a lot stronger in my core and it has also helps with my back muscle strength because your back muscles can be controlled by your core.
