PAF 301 Written Performance Task
1. The two fitness tests I’m most proud of is my full sit ups in a minute and beep test results. The exercises I did in my three week fitness program to help me accomplish my 55 sit ups in a minute included a variety of core exercises. I’ve done side planks, sit ups, planks, russian twists, hollow holds, running mans, v-snaps, mountain climbers, plank jacks, wood chops and tuck extends. As I have worked various parts of my rectus abdominis such as my obliques and transversus abdominis, my body has gained an overall stomach toning. This overall toning and exercise lead to an increase of 15 more sit ups in a minute from my first fitness test results. Moving forward, running 50 lengths of the gym on Friday, January

My upper body goal was to achieve overall arm toning and the specific exercises I’ve done were bicep curls, tricep extensions, medicine ball slams, push-ups, man makers and tricep push-ups. All these exercises were done as an endurance workout so targeting several different muscle groups in my arm helped me get toned. Next, my lower body goal is to lose weight in my upper thighs and tone my gluteus maximus. The specific exercises that helped me achieve this goal were squat jumps, side leg pulses, donkey kicks, lunges, squat kicks and fire hydrants. These exercises worked my adductor longus, gracilis, gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus. My rectus femoris and bicep femoris have also received some toning because these exercises also targeted those muscles. Since those muscles are used in my endurance workouts, I have been able to see visible results in not only my fitness testing results, but my own body as well; I’ve lost some weight in my legs and I’ve got a more firm gluteus maximus. To continue with my third goal of toning my rectus abdominis, I chose to complete an endurance workout because a strength workout would result in gaining muscle mass, which does not achieve my goal. In order to accomplish this, I have done planks, v-snaps, tuck extends, wood chops, side planks, russian twists, hollow holds, running mans, mountain climbers, crossover sit ups, banana rolls and windshield wipers. These exercises fit in with my goals because increasing reps and weight in my core workouts lead to a stronger and tighter core consequently leading to a toned rectus

This tests ones endurance. Advantages of this test is that you don’t need a lot of equipment, it is simple to set up and do so this won’t take up too much time.

Running is one of the most taxing forms of exercise. While it may seem that the legs do most of the work, running requires the whole body to be fit, toned and strong. More importantly, a tremendous amount of core muscle strength is needed for one to run in top form. Not only does it keep you strong and stable, a strong core also prevents lower back pain and hamstring injuries. Thus, any ab workout for runners must focus on strengthening the muscles of the abdominals, back and pelvis.
Step 5 Pass a physical exam that includes push-ups, sit-ups, and a step test. In your first fitness test you will need to complete 20 push-ups under 1 minute, 25 sit-ups under 1 minute, and 120 steps per minute for 5 minutes. Note: If passed there will be a second physical test. This test will consist of running 220 yards under 46 seconds, 20 push-ups under 1 minute, 25 sit-ups under a minute, and finally be able to run 1.5 miles under 15 minutes.

Therapeutic goals for the fourth phase of rehabilitation include using full range of motion and strength capabilities of the entire affected arm, pain-free participation, and restore their functional abilities to pre-injury level. The previously stated isotonic elbow activities should be continuous to maintain strength in the surround musculature. More complex plyometric activity, such as push-ups, BAPS board, UE ladders, and UE step ups, can be used to progress upper extremity stability. Maintaining core strength while injured is a vital key for transitioning back into the desired sport. Ways that core strength can be achieved is by planks, Russian twist, crunches, and leg lifts.

We lost in the Regional Championship game on a comeback. We played a great game, but that wasn’t enough. If I would have passed a second earlier, if I would have taken the shot, if I would have taken the defender one-on-one could that have changed the game? I saw tears coming from the whole team and realized the my team was feeling the same frustration and disappointment that I was. This would be the last time I was on the field with my senior teammates.
As contained in the guidelines of the assignment I must participate in the activity for 30 minutes and record my results. For this, I decided to go through a chest workout which is my favorite weight training workout. Like any other workout, I take about 10-15 minutes to properly warm up by doing what 's called a dynamic warm-up. A dynamic warm-up gets me focused on what 's to come and it also helps mitigate the risk of injury while lifting. Before this workout, I was very stressed about all of the studying I have to do before the term is over.
