Anaerobic Exercise Essay

Superior Essays
I found this particular project very challenging since I’m not that really ‘active’ when it comes to exercise. Don’t get me wrong, but I like to work on my pace; weightlifting allows me to do that. Basketball and other team sports were never a go to exercises for me just because there’s a lot of running that has to be done. I always play as the ‘team manager’, looking out for the players and getting what they need. Although I have a big body built, I never tried to push myself too far because of my fear of getting hurt afterwards. Now with this project, I’m hyped to be back in the game and push myself beyond my limits. My knees hate running so I picked swimming instead because knee pain was never an issue and it doesn’t make me sticky after swimming.
The current generation is too vain with their current looks and styles. They’re willing to try everything that would seem “effective” on popular media sources to be able to attain the perfect sculpture of Greek Goddess/Gods. We’re given to test this fitness hypothesis and put them to the test by ourselves to see if it works or not. Also, dieting is restricted to see if it would be effective without changing our regular diets. To make it more interesting, we

Swimmers need to clear out their lungs and fill in the air as fast as they can while keeping their rhythm. As we’ve discussed in class, this type of exercise is good for improving one’s lung function and capacity. Proper rhythmic breathing is a must in order to complete a lap in the pool. Clients with respiratory disease that needs an aerobic exercise can benefit from swimming or other aquatic activities because the water moistens the air they breathe. An example would be a young patient with asthma, they still need to be in a healthy state without worrying about any attacks that might happen. The water moistens up the air so that it isn’t so dry and doesn’t irritate the lungs when the patient is

    During the three nights of tryouts, I was always the first one to finish the sprints, I hustled on every play, and left everything I had on the court. Confident in the way I played, I checked the results when they came out–I had been cut for the second year in a row. My heart dropped and millions of thoughts ran through my mind–I should stop playing basketball, I wasted all my time on something useless, hard work does not pay off. After pondering on these thoughts for several days, I decided to rededicate myself to the sport; I found a more competitive AAU team to play for, IYB Basketball and Wayne PAL Wolfpack, and found myself a trainer. Everyday after finishing my schoolwork, I either went to the gym to lift and play basketball or went to an AAU practice or game.…

    3.3.1 Barriers and Enhancers towards Swimming The barriers towards swimming at FLSHS are that most students don’t enjoy the sport mostly because they haven’t done it before as the school only provides a swimming carnival once every year which only a low percentage attends, there are classes that provide swimming to HPE extension students and years 11-12 only and some students suffer from paranoia about their body image. However some ways to enhance the attendance to swimming carnivals are to provide swimming lessons to core 10 HPE classes so they can experience how enjoyable, healthy and social the sport is. Another enhancer; while the students have a swimming class, is to separate the students who know how to swim and the students who don’t know how to swim, so that the students who don’t know how to swim, don’t feel embarrassed and intimidated by the students who do know how to…

    The aforementioned training regime was a necessary price to pay if I ever hoped to improve and outperform peers, and I stayed dedicated to it from the beginning. Because of this, I grew accustomed to the ring of the victory bell and the satisfying validation that came from it. However, after many years of relentless training and competition, what has taught me most is not the split-second touch of victory, but the long stretch of perpetual failure. At the age of sixteen my athletic improvement became halted without explanation in a sport in which the sole purpose is to outperform the athlete you had been in the race before.…
