I always have followed the saying “if you work hard in life now you will not have to work as hard later.” This saying applies not only to how I work during school now, but how I participate in activities outside of school. To excel in what you want to achieve in life, I believe you need to put in the best effort and try your best in whatever you do. Living by this idea has helped me become a leader in the things I do. It has helped me put others at the same standard as myself and it helps me…

PACE Speech The problem I researched for this experiment was to see if the weight of a ball affects the speed that ball in travel at when shot or thrown. While researching this I found out that many different sports involve arm strength to throw an object far or at high speeds and many athletes don’t have enough arm strength or maybe don’t have much at all, but for every sport there is always a workout plan to increase what is needed. To increase your arm strength, the weight of a ball is a…

“You must expect great things from yourself before you can do them” ( Michael Jordan). Did you know most sports are based on running? Mostly every sport has to involve running, so why not just do it daily without any sports equipment? Here are the three basics steps that would make you into a decent runner, or somewhat close to a runner. Everyone knows that a good runner has a great formation. Therefore, formation would be one of the important steps on becoming a good runner. Formation is…

The day started the same as any other. The sun was hot, it must have been almost 100 degrees, which isn’t out of the ordinary for Brasil, but on this particular day the heat seemed as though if you threw an egg on the street it would fry right on the pavement. I took my usual route through Bento Rodrigues to get to work. Stopping at the corner store by the farm to get my favorite candy before going to work on the docks. I had stopped there every day for the past seven years before work, it was…

When we think of Summer, often we are concerned with how to keep ourselves and our pets cool. The blistering heat and fierce humidity in the Midwest are prevalent weather trends and make it difficult to reside outside. Our community warns us to stay hydrated, wear sunscreen and a hat and stay out of the sun when the heat is at its peak. When it comes to our pets, we are told to put out extra bowls of water for Fluffy and Fido and provide them with shelter and shade. In the heat of the…

The final results of the experiment showed that the area under the graph of the absolute values of the EMG is a linear relation to the strength of the muscle contraction. This is due to the amount of force a muscle produce. As I squeezed the bulb in my hand harder, the duration of the burst of activity increases with the duration of the muscle contraction. So depending on the amount of fibers participating in the contractions this can contribute to the graded contractions. As my grip became…

Although not as immediately critical as the availability of oxygen and glucose, it is important for the nervous system of ectothermic humans to maintain normothermia for effective cellular functioning (Morrison, 2011). The principle source of heat originates from the body. Temperature control mechanisms in humans consist of both core and peripheral processes. Responses elicited occur in a feed-forward manner. Changes in thermoreceptors in primary sensory nerve endings distributed to the skin are…

1. What factors should be considered to provide maximal protection when people are exercising in the cold? To avoid excessive heat loss, our bodies use peripheral vasoconstriction, nonshivering thermogenesis, and shivering, which is usually not enough. Peripheral vasoconstriction We must also rely on behavioral responses like huddling behavior and putting on more clothing to help insulate our deep body tissues from the environment. During aerobic exercise, clothing insulation and exercise…

Comparison of the (EMS) 1rst Hypothesis: we believe that High Frequency has more energy than low frequency. Explanation: For this hypothesis, we found that our calculations were wrong and we tested this by using the electromagnetic spectrum: radio wave, microwave, radiation, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. We went outside and made a simulation by walking and each group was one of the spectrums and we looked at how many more laps one group did than the other and we…

Harold’s eyes slowly start to flutter open. His blue eyes search around the ground for something he knows that’s not there. His tummy grumbles in dissatisfaction. He slowly gets to his feet and takes stock of the situation. He glances to the east and he sees the sun starting to slowly work its way up in the sky. If he wasn’t homeless and stark raving hungry he would be happy, the sky was a perfect blue and not a cloud in the sky. The early morning rush hour has started where people start to go…
