SELF-ASSESSMENT

I think that I have improved my expresion in english and I can understand better when someone talks to me. Now, I can watch "game of thrones" in english without subtitles! I listen to a lot of english music and I feel like i can understand the lyrics better tan before.

My weaknesses is the transalation, For me, it is very hard to study I think that my problem is that for me, sometimes is hard to find the concrete expression that you want and I think for me is hard because I don´t use to translate the vocabuary or for example there are some words that I know how to use because of the context but I don´t know the exact meaning in Spanish.

The thing that I liked the most was the music video Project  I had a great time filming it, and I obviuslly loved the result of all of our work. I also like the days that Clarisa come to our class. It is very interesting to know someone from that far and to learn a Little bit more about other cultures.

I think my strength is speaking, I love comunicating with other people and this is another way tan brings me the opportunity to comunicate with more people. I think I have lost the shame in case I make a mistake. Making mistakes is also a way to learn!

These are some music quotes I want to share with you.

Phisical education activities

The principle of tranference:

 The principle of transfer is the influence of one type of exercise on the performance of another type of exercise. There are three types:

• Positive transference: when one exercise improves the performance of another one.
• Negative transference: when one exercise makes the performance of another more difficult
• Neutral transference: when one exercise doesen't have effect on the performance of another

Examples of each training principles:

• Principle of effective charge: Let's suppose that we have a person "A" this person want to work strength by doing weightlifting. A has proved that the maximun weight that he can lift is 100 kg. A is a begginer so he must start working at his 40%. He must lift 40kg. We have a person "B" that has proved that the maximun weight that he can lift is 170kg. He has been working in weight ifting for 3 years and he want to improve his strenght, to archieve it he must work at his 60%. He must lift 102kg.

• principle of progression of the load: We have the same person "A" who workout 2 days per week. If he wants to improve he shoul at first increase the days of workout for example he should start working out 3 days per week. Next he should increase the repetitipons of the exercise. let's suppose that at first he did two series of fifteen repetittions. If hr wants to improve he should do two series of twenty rpetitions. At last he should increase the percentage of his working (instead of working at his 40% he shuld start working at his 50%)

• principle of variety: A is doing deaweight weightlifting, in this exercise he is working quadriceps, abs and bíceps. He should do strength exercises for those muscles and their antagonists (hamstings, lumbar muscles and tríceps). Some examples are squats, situps and push-ups. 

• principle of optimal relationship between load and recovery: A start working out 2 days per week, he does that for 3 weeks. then he has one week of rest. After that he should start working out 3 days per week for three weeks. Then he has one week of rest and so on.

• Principles of repetition and continuity: A has to work out 4 days per week. If he start working out only 2 days, the progression wouldn't be effective.

• Reverse action principle: A is in his 10th week of work out when he has a vertebral fracture. He has to rest for three months what means that he is going to lose all of his improvement.

• Principle of periodization: For A I have designed a mesocycle of 3 weeks of work out and 1 week of rest. After 3 mesocycles A sould take a rest of two weeks.

• Principle of individuality: the training designed for A wouldn´t be useful for B (B is a profesional weightlifter) B should train way harder than A with different and more especiffic exercises and different cycles.

• Principle of spececialization: For any weightlifter like A, endurance athletics aren't a good option because in each sport you use a different type of muscles and with endurance athletics you would lose muscle mass.

• principle of transference: A type of exercise that would be good for a weightlifter would be swimming as it makes your back stronger wich is very good if you don´t want to injure yourself while working out.
