Sports Medcine 2 Midterm Shareout by Kristin Pila https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el Share what you have learned en-us 2020-03-09 17:40:36 UTC 2026-01-20 02:40:36 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3c6.png Stretching https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457095101 One thing that impacted me the most when coming to this semester was stretching. I say stretching because I never really realized the importance of stretching. I never really understood why it was so important and why it was very crucial to do before and after any type of activity. Stretching helps prevent injuries. It also it your body looser. That can cause more flexibility.]]> 2020-03-09 18:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457095101 Stretching 2003616 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457096621 One thing I learned in this unit is that there are multiple ways you can stretch to achieve different results. There's dynamic stretching that more focuses on bouncing movements such as skips. This helps with getting blood flow to the area before starting an event. Another type of stretch is called static stretching. Static stretching focuses more on relaxed stretching such as sit and reach. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457096621 Stretching 2003741 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457096793 2020-03-09 18:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457096793 Diet/Game Changers Documentary/Stretches https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457099721 Learning about different diets and foods really opened my mind and taught me that there are countless different diets to follow to achieve certain health and wellness goals. The game changers documentary changed the way I see food. Before watching the documentary, I thought vegans were crazy and full of BS, but all the health benefits and facts that the movie mentioned convinced me to practice veganism. I had no idea what the point of stretching was until this unit. I learned a handful of stretching methods that have helped me improve my wrestling and overall athletic ability. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457099721 Stretching 201686 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457100542 I learned a lot about stretching and different types of stretches. I know what kind of stretches to do now before and after I work out. I realized how tight I was and started to stretch consistently. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457100542 Diet https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457103353 This unit showed me how many different diets exist.]]> 2020-03-09 18:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457103353 BMI 2115381 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457106117 BMI is an interesting way to measure body fatness. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. A high BMI can be an indicator of high body fatness. BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems but it is not diagnostic of the body fatness or health of an individual.]]> 2020-03-09 18:47:42 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457106117 Documentary and diet https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457107153 I really enjoyed watching the documentary about what effects your body when you change it to a more healthier diet. It was very interesting to see the different people that did change there diet whither it was an athlete or not. I was able to see how becoming vegan helps you in many different ways. It gives you more energy and prevents a couple diseases. I had a lot of fun with our diet project because not only was I able to look at the different diets people made but I was also able to make my own. While I was researching for my diet project I was able to become more informed on the different benefits you get from different diets whether  they decrease your chances of getting certain types of cancer or reduce your risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol levels.]]> 2020-03-09 18:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457107153 Nutrition 2003616 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457107158 During the nutrition unit we looked over the many types of diets that are used for people with a variety of problems. One of the many diets we looked and researched about was a vegetarian and vegan. The movie Game Changer brought to my attention the benefits of switching from a meat diet to a vegetarian diet. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457107158 Sliding Filament Theory 2115381 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457108427 I found the sliding filament theory to be very interesting because I’ve always wondered how we can control different muscles when we want to and apply a specific amount of force when we want to. The sliding filament theory explains the mechanism of muscle contraction based on muscle proteins that slide past each other to generate movement.]]> 2020-03-09 18:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457108427 DIET https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457109855
I really enjoyed this unit as I was able to learn a lot more about different diets that are out there. Overall, I already knew that diets are best when they fit to the individual’s goals and standards. It was very refreshing when we were able to create our own diet plans to eat and live a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Most importantly, it was mind blowing when we watched the movie “Game Changer,” this movie literally CHANGED MY LIFE. This movie helped me learn more about foods that will benefit me to feel strong and energized throughout the day, especially as an athlete, without that lethargic and slow feeling. I actually changed my diet to be a bit more plant-based and, already, I’m seeing such good responses in my overall energy levels and training. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457109855 Stretching 2115381 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457110590 Another thing I found to be intriguing was the diversity of different stretches and their effects on the body. There’s different situations one should use different stretches such as dynamic stretches or static stretches. Dynamic stretching is a form of stretching beneficial in sports utilizing momentum from form, and the momentum from static-active stretching strength, in an effort to propel the muscle into an extended range of motion not exceeding one's static-passive stretching ability. Static stretching means a stretch is held in a challenging but comfortable position for a period of time, usually somewhere between 10 to 30 seconds. Static stretching is the most common form of stretching found in general fitness and is considered safe and effective for improving overall flexibility.]]> 2020-03-09 18:53:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457110590 Diet https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457112382 Another thing that was very beneficial learning was dieting. I am not very good when it comes dieting and knowing the right foods to eat. Learning about dieting helped a lot when it came to eat the right foods to help my body be healthy, strong and more. I also learned about the right foods to eat to build muscles. I always struggled with gaining muscle mass. Learning about dieting helped me get a better understanding about the right food to eat to gain muscle.]]> 2020-03-09 18:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457112382 2115381 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457112760 One final thing that was fascinating to me was the power of a healthy diet. There are so many different kinds of diets but what stuck out to me was a vegan diet. The effects of a vegan diet are so dramatic in comparison to a normal diet consisting of normal foods. If you switch to a vegan diet from a typical Western diet, you'll eliminate meat and animal products. This will inevitably lead you to rely more heavily on other foods. In the case of a whole-foods vegan diet, replacements take the form of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, peas, nuts and seeds. Since these foods make up a larger proportion of a vegan diet than a typical Western diet, they can contribute to a higher daily intake of certain beneficial nutrients. For instance, several studies have reported that vegan diets tend to provide more fiber, antioxidants and beneficial plant compounds. They also appear to be richer in potassium, magnesium, folate and vitamins A, C and E. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:56:00 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457112760 Hydration & Stretching https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457113035
We were learning a lot about proper hydration and stretching this unit as it was very interesting to learn about specific stretches to help whatever muscle we were focusing on. My group and I created a weVideo where we presented many different stretches to a specific sport, such as weightlifting/powerlifting. I learned more importantly the significance of water to balance the electrolytes in our bodies, and the importance of proper sleep to balance our hormones levels and improve our daily performance, whether it be in school or in a sport. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457113035 Dry Needling 201686 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457113488 At the field trip we took to Moraine we learned about many things. One of the more interesting topics was dry needling. When someones muscle is hurting the doctor pokes a tiny needle into the area of pain and it releases the pressure. ]]> 2020-03-09 18:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457113488 BODY COMPOSITION LAB https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457116990

I say this because learning the muscles and learning what they do and the functions of them helped me with working out. Knowing the muscle help me understand how I should work them out. The best way I should work them out. It also helped me learn the best way to relax them. And why it's important to realx them.]]> 2020-03-10 01:04:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457269741 Fitness measured 203410 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/457280122 Fitness measureament taught me hiw fitness is measured, The right way to wor out.

I also learned about how severe can concussions be and some of the most commons types of concussions.]]> 2020-03-11 00:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458025721 Diet/Game Changer Documentary https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458025816 The Game Changer Documentary and learning about new diets had a powerful impact in a way I see nutrition. To me the most powerful part of this documentary is when it explains the amount of water that could be saved only if the United States would to decrease meat consumption. This impacts the way I see nutrition because it helps me realize that by changing my diet to a vegetable based one I am not only helping my overall health but I am also helping reduce an unnecessary waste of water and cruelty against animals by not economically supporting the meat industry.

One area I had deficit in, was the shoulder mobility, and according to research , poor performance during this test can be the result of several causes, one of which is the widely accepted explanation that increased external rotation is gained at the expense of internal rotation in overhead throwing athletes. In addition, excessive development and shortening of the pectoralis minor or latissimus dorsi muscles can cause postural alterations including rounded or forward shoulders.

We were able to become more educated on this when we watched the video on you-tube video that contained information about the different cycles that happen in our body. My partners and I had lots of fun drawing out the pictures to talk about our steps. We were also able to talk about different vocabulary such as ;Action Potential, Sarcolemma, Acetylcholine, T-tubule, Sarcomere, Calcium, Sodium, Actin, Troponin, Tropomyosin, Myosin, ATP, Crossbridge, Power stroke. We also made a video where my two partners and I explained where these points and steps are which was so intresting.]]> 2020-03-11 22:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458767362 Hydration and heat injuries 2180124 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458774327 I personally think that heat injuries are very important and was very interested in learning more about them and all the different types of people that play a role when someone is effected by it. 
  • Heat stroke is a serious illness that occurs when the body is unable to control its own temperature.
  • Heat exhaustion is an illness caused by dehydration and salt loss, and can lead to heat stroke.
I think that it should definitely be brought up or discussed during a sports medicine class because i knew a little about it until i took sports med and understood what they were and how to help the person in the situation and the discussion we did helped me understand it much more efficiently.

I learned more about concussions from the video. Concussions are brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a violent shaking of the head and body. Concussions can be very dangerous if you don not do what the doctors tell you to do if you supposedly decide to not listen to the doctor and do the same thing you did to get that concussion you might end up with second impacts syndrome. Second-impact syndrome (SIS) occurs when the brain swells rapidly, and catastrophically, after a person suffers a second concussion before symptoms from an earlier one have subsided. This second blow may occur minutes, days or weeks after an initial concussion, and even the mildest grade of concussion can lead to SIS. I learned that you should always follow what the doctors tell you and no matter how important the game is and you don't want to let your teammates down, never break your doctors rules.]]> 2020-03-11 22:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458775730 body composition lab 2045571 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458826930 what i liked about the body composition lab was that we learned how to measure it and investigate the different and most accurate ways.]]> 2020-03-12 01:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458826930 meal plan project 2045571 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458827115 what I learned from the meal plan project was how to structure a diet and also having the opportunity to see other class mates their meal plan project.]]> 2020-03-12 01:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458827115 fms lab 2045571 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458827346 on the fms lab I could see what areas I was having most trouble with and got to learn how to score someone else's movements.]]> 2020-03-12 01:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458827346 stretches 2045571 https://padlet.com/chsd230/z4dep0xgk8el/wish/458828246 what i enjoyed about the stretching project was that we got to be more active at class and learn different types of stretches.

None have cholesterol. (Sauces or seasonings may add fat, calories, and/or cholesterol.)
Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folate (folic acid), vitamin A, and vitamin C.
Diets rich in potassium may help to maintain healthy blood pressure. Vegetable sources of potassium include sweet potatoes, white potatoes, white beans, tomato products (paste, sauce, and juice), beet greens, soybeans, lima beans, spinach, lentils, and kidney beans.
Dietary fiber from vegetables, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber is important for proper bowel function.
