Log Five: Modified Touch

Last week Friday during the game of Modified touch the two factors that

influenced my participation is pushing my body to physical limits, being

able to go at my own pace.

Pushing my body to physical limits influenced my participation, I was

getting tired to a point where I wanted to give up but my team kept me

going because they needed me. Knowing that my team needs me , I push my body to further limits.

Being able to go at my own pace influenced my participation, the game was going to fast and as soon as I got the ball I slowed down the game down by jogging. By slowing the game down it made the game more enjoyable.

Log Four: King Dodge ball

Last week Tuesday during the game King dodge ball the two factors that

influenced my participation is fun and enjoyment, Sense achievement.

Fun and enjoyment influenced my participation because before we started playing the game I felt like it would’ve been boring but I ended up

participating anyways, I had so much fun it brought me closer to my

classmates.

Sense of achievement influenced my participation because I was one of the

last ones standing, they tried getting me out but I ended up getting the last

person out on the other team before they got me out. I had a lot of pride out

of getting the last person out made me feel like I achieved something.

Log Three: Modified Touch

Yesterday during the game modified touch the two factors that influenced

my participation was Challenge and Sense of achievement.

It was a real challenge for me because I couldn’t find a solution to get pass

my opponents, also it was hard taking control because my team mates

weren’t listening to what I was saying, it really did make me try even harder.

Sense of achievement influenced my participation because I knew I would

get a lot of pride out of completing modified touch by coming second

instead of last. Participating through the whole thing and not giving up made me feel like I achieved something.

Log Two: Ki O Rahi

Last term on Tuesday during the game of Ki O Rahi the two factors that

influenced my participation were being able to go at my own pace, also fun

and enjoyment.

Being able to go at my own pace influenced my participation because

everyone else was moving the game abit too fast and I was getting tired so I

went at my own pace.

Fun and enjoyment influenced my participation because of the previous

experience, I’ve done it before and I love playing Ki o rahi. Running and

twisting at the same time was enjoyable about it and this game brings me

closer to my peers.

Log One: Island ball

On Tuesday during our game of Island ball the two factors that influenced

my participation were Challenge and Well-being.

Challenge influenced my participation because my opponents were

competitive which made it a good challenge for me. It was hard trying to

find a solution to get pass competitive opponents.

Well-being influenced my participation because I know if I was to

participate for a whole lesson it would build my fitness level up and I would eventually become fitter.

Preparation Phase

To generate maximum force I need to contact as many segments as possible. I know I am contracting segments in my preparation phase because my knees are bending, the more segments I use the more force I put into my shot. I know I am following the principle of sequencing because I am contracting my lower muscles, I can see I am contracting my lower body muscles because my knees are bending.

In the preparation phase I am contracting my lower body muscles. This means that I am using my Hips, Knees and Ankle joints in this phase.The first joint I'm using is my Hip joint. My hip joint is classified as a Ball and Socket joint, I can see that I'm flexing my Hip joint because I'm in a stance. My agonist muscle is my Quadriceps. My antagonist muscle is my Gluteus Maximus. My second joint I'm contracting is my knee joint. My knee joint is classified as a Hinge joint, I can see from my picture that my knees are bent therefore my knees are flexed. The agonist muscle is my hamstrings. The antagonist muscle is my Quadriceps. My Last joint I'm contracting is my ankle joint. My ankle joint is classified as a Hinge joint, I can see that my ankle is facing down which means that my ankles are Dorsiflexion. The agonist muscle is my Tibialis Anterior. The antagonist muscle is my Gastrocnemius. The differences between myself and the ideal athlete is I am leaning a bit forward and my legs are more flexed.

In the preparation phase I am using Newton's laws. The Newton's laws that I am using in this phase is his 1st law. Newton's 1st Law states a body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it. I am using newton's first law in my lower body by flexing my knees this means I am creating force to shoot the ball.

In the preparation phase balance and is important when performing a sporting movement. Line of gravity is defined as the vertical line that passes the centre of gravity to the ground e.g To be stable the line of gravity must fall within our base of support. Base of support is defined as the area that is in contact with the ground e.g The larger the contact area with the ground the greater the stability. My line of gravity is located. I can see I have base of support because my legs are shoulder width apart and both of my feet are on the ground, Therefore I am stable which allows my body to produce enough force in the preparation phase. The differences/Similarities I can see in my balance and stability compared to the ideal, we are both flexing our knees and both our feet are on the ground.

Log Six: Multi Sports

Yesterday during Multi sports, I demonstrated the interpersonal skill Solving problems.

I demonstrated this interpersonal skill by calming down a couple of our teammates and
telling the coach to do the right thing. For example: Monu wasn’t really playing
the game fairly, He was just choosing sides so I told him to play the game fairly even
though he was on our side, I said “Play the game fairly, cause if you really were
on the other team and we cheated what would be going through your head?
What would you feel?” and that made him think twice.

This had a positive impact on my team not because we won fairly after I talked to him,
but because I couldn’t hear anyone arguing and we all enjoyed ourselves in the end.
