Interm

Hi Mom and Dad!
This is my interim report for the Human Kinetics Coop.

So far, the highlights for me have been: Doing practical work using hands rather than all theory work and I believe this helps me do my work and learn more. Having good friends in the class which make my learning experience more fun


I am the most proud of: Most proud of my ability to perform well in Super fit and push my self to my limits


The most interesting things I have learned about are: The heart and all the components inside the heart especially the dissection


An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is: On the beep test and the plank. I pushed my self to keep on going and making sure that I do not give up.


I could make improvements in: Focusing better in class and making sure I listen to the teacher better


I am really looking forward to: More field trips and more practical work

Our trip to the Grouse Grind

At the beginning of the grouse grind I felt confident yet I was really sore from the workouts and practices that had been done in the previous days. As I started, my mindset was that "this is going to be really hard". As I progressed I made sure to never stop and keep moving even if it is in slow paces. I ended up only stopping one time and that was to take my shirt off due to the heat and sweat I was feeling. I ended up with a time of 52 minutes, much better than my previous 1 hour and 6 minutes. I though I would do bad but I ended up finishing amongst some of the first!

Heart Presentation

My VO2 max

After calculating my VO2 max according to the beep test, I found out that it was 54.3
This means that I have physically fit and able to run in high intensity 

Heart dissection

1. The most surprising thing was how thick the left ventricle was compared to the right ventricle.

2. The Atria are smaller then the ventricles because the ventricles have to pump the blood to the body/lungs rather that just having to collect blood and pass it through to the ventricles which is what the atria do. 

The ventricles are muscular whereas the atria are flimsy and thin.

3. The left ventricle is thicker and more muscular than the right ventriclebecause it pumps blood at a higher pressure. The right ventricle is triangular in shape and extends from the tricuspid valve in the right atrium to near the apex of the heart.

4. As the heart muscle contracts and relaxes, the valves open and shut, letting blood flow into the ventricles and atria at alternate times. The following is a step-by-step description of how the valves functionnormally in the left ventricle
