For chapter 3 it was mainly about physical activity and your experiences with many types of physical activity. Through our personal experiences we are able to see what we like in terms of sports, going to gym, working out and etc. It can also relate to amount of time and practice we put in if we play a sport. To be able to perfect our craft to best of our ability. From our social environment to our personal circumstances, our experience really matters as we grow older. The one thing I’ve learned in this chapter is about our social environment as well as our personal circumstances. In which our social environment is how we let people, family, coaches, others effect our physical activity. Personally my family is very competitive as well as …show more content…
To be able to understand that some people like going to the gym, some don’t, some people like to run and others not so much. As a profession in training, need to understand other peoples needs and desires when it comes to any physical activity. For one I use to have a trainer before in which I would always be asked on what I want to work on and what are the things I don’t do as much. This can be related to our self development and how we learn to like a certain activity even if before we never used to like it. It is important to understand the customers circumstances as well as their drive to work towards an attribute or a goal of theirs. Our physical activity preferences can relate to our past experience, maybe people got injured and don’t like doing a certain workout again. There is also the idea in which the activity isn’t for them in all honesty, it just comes down to preference and our likes and dislikes. That is why it is huge for us to understand other’s perspectives on physical …show more content…
For staters capacity, in which our aspects of performance is improved with training. The way you are able to train at a high level translates into your performance for the next game or a showcase. Personally for me when I was on a dance team in high school, practice was the most key element in how I was able to perform and put on the best show to my fullest ability. Training and working out every little detail in the routine can go a long way in making for an excellent
Based on their evidence, the focus on athletics contributes to lower dropout rates and higher test scores; however, they do note that students participating in athletics are obligated to be extremely focused and dedicated. It is no secret that achieving in athletics and academics is challenging and demanding. Additionally, communities achieving success in the athletic field have a greater social capital. Social capital is “the norms, the social networks, and the relationships” that individuals have within one another (Bowen and Hitt). Social capital is pertinent for children growing up to be prosperous adults. These relationships help build academic success. Likewise, most schools have equal success in athletics and academics. This direct relation has been researched and speculated to prove that athletics do not take away from academics but rather facilitate
Students who participate in sports remain physically active. Student athletes have practice and must keep “in shape” to compete against other high school teams. Researchers have said the younger population has grown obese. Students who remain in high school sports have a lower risk of becoming obese. Obesity is growing rapidly in the nation and having kids participate in sports will help the nation’s obesity rate decrease. The reason students stay healthy is because the practice may involve running, weight training, and flexibility to help stay in “shape”. Students involved in sports are also encouraged to eat better to ensure the best body to perform at top level. Athletes have a desire to win and be the best. This forces an athlete to live a healthier
There are many definitions to theory. According to Akers (2009) “theories are tentative answers to the commonly asked questions about events and behavior” (Akers, (2009, p. 1). Theory is a set of interconnect statements that explain how two or more things are related in two casual fashions, based upon a confirmed hypotheses and established multiple times by disconnected groups of researchers.

One of the positives of youth participation in sports is that it is an effective way of children making new friends and developing social skills. Sports teams provide an introduction for children to talk to other children with whom they may not talk normally. This is a huge opportunity for overweight children that might not socialize with others very often. As Ann Rosewater – a spokeswoman for the organization Up2Us – puts it, “overweight children have reported that the best part of organized sports is making new friends” (13). Teamwork can create a strong bond between athletes who compete together. Working toward a common goal gives children a reason to become good friends in an attempt to reach their endeavor of winning. They learn to help other children when they see them having a tough time and learn to offer words of encouragement to them (Harle par. 3). Children are given a sense of camaraderie by playing a sport with peers and that sense can become so strong that they will go as far as considering each other a second family....
Another concept I have learned from my participation in running is teamwork. No matter how hard we try, we cannot live our lives without others' help or without helping others. We must work together to succeed on the road ahead. This is the essence of teamwork. I know that even my personal success in cross-country and track is not solely mine. I know that my three district titles, one in cross country and two in track, in the 800 meter and 1600 meter runs, could not have been accomplished without my team's unequivocal support and for that, I thank them.

DISCUSSION: This study investigated the barriers and enablers of physical activity in various workplaces. Thematic analysis that ensued provided relevant clues into understanding workers’ plight in the workplace with regard to actively participating in physical activity. Sedentary behavior settled in with time, given the amount of hours workers spent at work daily. It was equally important to bring into light factors that influenced workers behaviors so they could inform recommendations about physical activity for workers’ morale, motivation, and keeping healthy.
There exists various lifestyles and behaviours, ranging from amount of nutrition intake, mental well-being, to the amount of physical activity engaged individually. Weighing the abundance of factors, this essay primarily aims to focus on the aspect of physical activity in relevance to how it possibly affects one's lifestyle. By cross-referencing to other lifestyles and behaviours, this essay will also demonstrate the importance of physical activity in possibly alleviating the issues raised pertaining to other lifestyles as well. Throughout this essay, there will be frequent references to the socio-ecological framework in examining the aforementioned factors.
...e all need physical activity to become and remain healthy, and that physical activity will have a positive outcome on our life regardless of differences. I will ensure that all students become aware and accepting of others and differences because we all are different in our own ways. My students will learn to help those who cant help themselves and support those who are in need.

And working coope...

His problem is how he can lose weight without completely sacrificing his passion for food. In other words, John wants to decrease his body fat while still being able to enjoy his meals. For the
Psychology is useful within physical activity as it can be used to promote and influence one’s perspective on the benefits of health. This branch of study has become a gateway into many different careers in physical activity such as a fitness consultant, physiotherapist, and education. Psychology is used within the education system to help encourage all students, despite their physical ability, to participate in a healthy and active life style. In a recreation setting, psychology is used in advertisements to persuade people to want to become more physically active. The career of a fitness consultant uses the benefits to psychology to help their clients achieve their intended goals. Some useful strategies to help a client achieve their goals may include, goal setting, an enthusiastic instructor, or a variation in programs.
