Element 1.1 Describe and apply physiological and biomechanical concepts related to skilled movement, physical activity and fitness.
Artifact: German Biomechanics web page and description.
Date: Spring 2013
Reflection: While I was studying abroad in Germany, I signed up and participated in a biomechanics research project. My artifact is the web site and explanation of the web page that states the intended goal of the project and my work as a laboratory assistant in the research. It states that I worked along side German biomechanics engineers to help take measurements, record data, be used as an initial test subject, and also aid in the process of setting up for various experiments. The artifact goes on to state that the research was used to determine that with proper technique in movement and strengthening tasks. Overweight female subjects of about 40-70years of age could actually relieve joint pain after eliminating a "waddling technique".
This artifact relates to element 1.1 in the following manner:
Not only was I learning about past findings in the field of biomechanics in Germany but I was on the forefront of the vastly growing field, in German Sport University. This research got me deeper into the field then I would have been sitting in a classroom. I needed to apply the skills and knowledge I was learning about to become effective.
Element 1.3: Describe and apply motor development theory and principals related to skillful movement,physical activity, and fitness.
Artifact: Motor Development Lab Blog
Date: Spring 2012
Reflection:
During the spring of 2012, I began going out into the field for the first time (through SUNY Cortland). I did this through an introduction class Motor Development(PED 201). In this class my peers and I were taught how to create and use a blog. This blog is a good representation of my field experiences throughout semester at a school called St. Mary's. The labs at this small elementary school taught me so much, I was taught to view and assess children's motor skills and development in pre-k through 5th grade.
My motor development Lab Blog relates to element 1.3 in the following manner:
It is based on the motor development of students in the 201 lab.
