Period 2 Blog 1.2 Skill Related Fitness

Next week we will be performing our post test for skill related fitness. You may remember earlier in the semester we tested our agility with the shuttle run, our balance with the stork test, our coordination with the alt. hand ball throw, our power with the vertical leap, our reaction time with the ruler drop, and our speed with the 20m dash. Next week we will redo these tests ans see if our scores have improved as a result of your daily participation in physical activities.

For your blog question this week, I want you to tell me what effect improved skill related fitness will have on your overall health. In other words how can improving your skill related fitness improve your health.

Improving skilled related fitness will help me in many ways. One way is that improving speed will help me run to class! Also, reaction time can help me with volleyball or if I am about to drop something on the ground. If I continue to improve my skill related fitness, then will remain healthy until I'm old.

Improving your skill related fitness will greatly benefit your health because when you're better at running, have better reflexes, balance better, or have better coordination, it will help you with daily activities and sports activities. It will also prevent your body from getting hurt. For example, with better balance and coordination, you'd fall less and therefore be better on your body and could concentrate more on school.

In improving your skill related fitness you can often become more fit in general and therefore more healthy. Gaining better reflexes can keep you from getting injured, just as can the regular exercise can also prevent injury by keeping you flexible and in shape. also, usually the activities that you do to get and keep skill related fitness reduce stress.

if you have good balance and reaction time then you wont get hurt and then you will stay healthy.
ex. balance - if you have good balance the you wont fall down and then you wont hurt yourself
ex reaction - if you have good reaction time, then if someone chucks something at you, you will be able to dodge it and not get hurt.
and not getting hurt is part of staying healthy.

Improving our skill related fitness can greatly help our health in many ways. For example, 20 meter run (running) can help us to improve our respiratory and cardiovascular system. With good reaction time, we can preserve our health by blocking or dodging any harmful object that is on our way. Agility with the shuttle run can help us improve our leg muscles (especially endurance) which is really neccesary when we want to walk and move around in direction we want. Also, balance with the stork test can help us by letting us keep position that we want without falling or getting into trouble. Our coordination with the alt. hand ball throw help us by letting us locate an object. If it is harmful we can avoid it but if it is what we want, we want to be able to catch it. Our power with the vertical leap can improve our leg muscle,(epecially strngth) which can help us also when we walk and insert force with leg. These skills also help in our daily lives such as when we are playing sports.

You will be healthier overall as a person.
You will be able to exercise better overall and stay in shape at all times.
If someone tells you to run to get something, you'll be able to. If someone asks you to help them out by lifting something healthy, you'll be able to. All because your skill related fitness is good.

Improving my skill related fitness can help me in sports throughout the school year. So that I can actually do the core work during the track especially sit ups...being physically healthy can keep you in shape so that you don't get exhausted from climbing stairs to class and you don't gain as much weight from an extra huge piece of cake after dinner...

Improving my skill related fitness will allow me to improve my speed, strength, endurance, and flexibility. All of these will help me with my everyday life. For example, if I can touch my toes, I can also grab something from off the floor without crouching down or bending my legs. If were flexible I can kick someone in the face if he were trying to kill me. If i can run fast, I can also run away from a bear attack; and finally, if I were stronger, I could fight back in a bear attack, or even jump over the bear (not really).

(I accidentally posted a comment on your 3rd period blog. So, you can disregard that blog.)

Improving your skilled related fitness also helps to help your health related fitness. Skills help a person in everyday life as well as in sports and activities. If a person's skills drop, it is known that that person's health also drops. Coordination and balance helps with basic walking, moving and running. Sharp reaction time will allow a person to act quickly in sudden and unannouced situations. Power helps in rough sports and defense. Speed also helps in sports that requires the person to be quick. Besides helping a person's physical health, it also helps a person live a healthy life.

Improving skill related fitness will make you a more healthy and active person. If you have good balance and coordination, you will be able to hold yourself and use the right foot to step on and not fall over. Coordination will help you aim for something more to the target, like throwing a ball, our hitting it back, etc.

Improving your skill related fitness will benefit your health. One example of that is that by practicing your shuttle run score, you are increasing how much oxygen your body takes in at a faster rate. Another example is that by training your reaction time, you are making your brain less stressful because it doesn't have to work as hard, and since stress is unhealthy, you are therfore making your body healthier with less stress.

Improving skill related fitness can help you in many ways in real life. One way is that if your balance is good, you'll be able to stand and walk and run without the fear of falling. If you're fast, it helps you do things faster with less effort. Having good reaction time is also helpful, for example if someone punches you or if you are about to drop something.

skill related fitness will not directly make you a healthier person. skill related fitness helps you improve on skills. these skills, however can make you better at what you do. any sport, excercise, etc etc etc. By this, you will be able to get your maximum from excercise and may in turn maximize your ability to become a healthier person.
