Physical Evidence in the 1st and 3rd Evaluation

Resistance

In the first evaluation, I achieved a mark of 8 periods, which was exceeded in the third assessment, reaching 10.5 periods. I believe this improvement is due to my increased physical activity during the course of this year. I usually ride a bike every afternoon I can, and I think that's one reason why I have increased my level of resistance. The test conducted to measure our endurance was a series of periods, which were measured by sounding beeps.

Abdominals

On this test, which involves performing as many sit-ups as possible in a minimal amount of time, I cannot say much because I don't even remember my mark on the first evaluation (17 abdominals). I do not show that... Continue reading "Physical Education: Tracking Performance Metrics" »

Flexibility and Joints: Types, Benefits, and Training

1. Flexibility

Flexibility is the physical quality that enables us to perform large-scale movements with any part of our body. It depends on:

  • The ability to stretch the muscles
  • The ability to move the joints

There are two types of flexibility:

  • Dynamic: Exercises performed in motion. The movements should be broad and relaxed.
  • Static: Maintaining a stretched position without movement. After taking the position, we should relax, breathe, and maintain that position for a moment.

2. Joints

Joints are connections between two bones that allow relative motion between them. They consist of:

  • Articular surfaces of bones: Zones of contact between the bones forming the joint. They are covered with articular cartilage, which prevents chafing and allows slippage of

Clearly different, with examples, the concepts of sensation and perception. Different types of sensation in terms of modality.

Perception is a more complex process than sensation. Sensation is merely a receptive process, the body's response to a stimulus. Perception is the degree of knowledge and sensory discrimination of those responses.

Through sensations, we get the sensory information needed to make adaptive responses compared to the surrounding world and about ourselves.

Understanding Resistance, Oxygen Debt, and Flexibility

Classified in Physical Education

Written at on English with a size of 3.59 KB.

Resistance: The ability to sustain muscular effort for an extended period, delaying the onset of fatigue.

Oxygen Debt: The amount of oxygen that muscles should consume but haven't, directly related to the intensity and duration of exercise. Higher intensity and longer duration lead to greater oxygen consumption and debt.

Lactic Acid Concentration: Forms when there is an oxygen debt.

Ability to Absorb Oxygen: The capacity to breathe in, retain, and effectively utilize oxygen during muscular work.

Types of Resistance

  1. Aerobic: Moderate intensity efforts of long duration, with a heart rate between 130 and 170 bpm. There is no significant oxygen debt.
  2. Anaerobic: High-intensity efforts of short duration, with a heart rate exceeding 170 bpm, resulting in

Written at on English with a size of 2.94 KB.

The Playing Field

The volleyball court is a rectangle 18 meters long by 9 meters wide, divided at its center by a net. The playing area extends into a free zone outside the court, provided the ball doesn't touch the ground or any other object. This free zone is at least 3 meters wide, but in international competitions, it's increased to 5 meters on the sidelines and 8 meters at the baselines. The free space above the court must be at least 7 meters, and up to 12.5 meters in international competitions.

A line 3 meters from the net in each court defines the attack zone, where actions are restricted for players in defensive roles (defenders and libero). These lines extend beyond the court with broken lines. All lines are 5 cm wide.

Players maintain... Continue reading "Volleyball: Court, Net, Ball, Attire, and Match Rules" »

Basic Volleyball Rules and Gameplay

Volleyball is a team sport that can be played both outdoors and indoors.

The Game

The ball is put into play through the service, which is not to touch the net but must pass between the rods and fall within the opponent's court. Upon completion of the service, each team can carry out a maximum of three hits. The first is called reception and is usually done with a forearm pass to the setter. The second is the placement, usually making a pass of fingers, and the third is the spike.

It is a foul if the team performs four hits (if the ball touches first on the block, you can still make three hits). Only the team that owns the service can score points. So, if you make a point without having the service, there is a... Continue reading "Volleyball: Rules, Techniques, and Positions" »
