Period 3 Weight Training Blog # 8

People are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and unfortunately are starting to shut it down early instead of picking up speed and running towards the light. What I mean by that is we are not working as hard in class as we should be. Share with the class one thing that has worked for you in the past to get you refocused when you start to slip.

Period 5 Football Blog # 8

Football is a lot of fun and we are looking for a more authentic sport experience, so we will reveiw the rules, responsibilities of the Refs and look for any modifications to make the game flow more smoothly.

Rules:5 Mississippi Rush or 1 Blitz every four downs!
Quarterback may not advance the ball. Whoever says "Set - Hike!" is the quarterback and must receive the snap from the center.
No Offsides for the Offense. When quarterback says "Set - Hike!" Defense is allowed to start their rush count or blitz even if the ball has not been snapped. If an offensive player leaves before the "Set - Hike!" has been called, just start the play over. If this continues to be a problem, player comes out of the game.
All players must be on the line of scrimmage except for the quarterback and possibly one running back.
Players may spin when trying to avoid a tackle, but, may not flag guard by pushing player away from thier flags.

Period 3 Blog #7 Weight Training Metabolic Pathways

There are three biochemical means in which energy is provided for all human action. They are phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative. In other words your body gets energy in three ways depending on the demands of the activity you are participating in. We call these energy sources metabolic pathways. Wether you realize it or not we have been training in all three.

The phosphagen pathway provides the bulk of energy used in high powered activities, those that last less than ten seconds.

The glycotic pathway provides energy for activities that last up to several minutes.

The oxidative pathway provides energy for low-powered activities, those that last in excess of several minutes.

There are a lot of complex process that go into energy production and we will skim across that in future blogs but, for this blog I want you to give me an example of an activity for each of the metabolic pathways listed above.
