What do I Know? | What do I Want to Know? | How will I learn the Information? |
I know that sports and exercise are good for your body. It helps you by when you exercise you are burning fat and building muscles which are 2 great things to do. But I also know that while you are exercising or doing sports you tighten your muscles. While this is happening you can put a muscle or even more seriously snap a muscle. I also know that people like to play sports because they know that they are getting stronger and better at whatever they are doing. | I want to know how you build muscles while you are exercising or doing sports. I am really curious on how the muscles form. Do they just come out thin are? How can you "build" muscles? Do dells help form them? If you don't exercise for a while and you lose muscles what happens to them? Do they turn into fat? Is that why when you don't lift weights, or whatever, your triceps turn flabby? | I will look at websites that talk about health and fitness. That will show what can happen to your body when you play sports. I will also use a lot my background knowledge, knowing that I have a lot. I might even ask some friends, that I know are serious in sports. I will ask them if they have had any injuries that are still make them a little "rickety" in areas. Like if their knee pops from falling on it or your ankle hurts still from a sprain. They will warn me about injuries (like I have had before) and I will write what they said on my website. |
What did I Learn? | What Action did I Take? | What Questions do I still have? |
I learned that there are so many ways that sports can effect your body in good ways and bad ways. For example you can break a leg. Or a good thing would be to make a new friend or learn something new in that sport. I personally think that sports are really rewarding when something good turns out of them. Like when I learn a new move I get really happy. I also learned that if you think that when you are the only one that is injured, don't worry you are not alone. Think of all the other famous athletes with so many injuries and he/she has to sit on the sidelines when they don't want to. Think of Derek Rose! | The action that I took was I told people, who read my website, that they have to be aware of all the things that could possibly hurt them. Like a broken arm, a sprained ankle, and much, much more. I think that it is also cool how MANY things can hurt you. Some are minor and some are major. That is technically what I made my website for too. To remind people that sports can be dangerous but they can be really fun too! | Some questions that I still have are what happens when you get hurt and you can't heal? What will you do to stay in shape? Eat healthier? What if you get so unhealthy that one day you "pop"? What if when you don't like sports anymore and you have nothing to do in your spare time? Sit around and watch t.v.? That sounds like a boring life to me! |
I really liked doing this passion time project because I got to figure out what can happen to your body when you might hurt it during playing sports. It was fun when I got to see different opinions of people on different websites. They were all a bit different, and that was what really cool about it. I also got to ask one of my friends about her experiences on injuries. She plays basketball and soccer and she messed up her left knee and right ankle. These were in basketball and soccer. Her knee pops when she straightens it out all the way. This is just showing the bad side of sports. The good side of sports is pretty much everything else. I mean that sports really are fun for most people. I really liked doing this topic because sports and exercise interest me a lot. It has been really fun!
