Recommended: Introduction health assessment

According to the data collected compared to the standards set on www.exrx.net my average health is poor to average. My Muscular Endurance is average at 24 Curl Ups, frankly, this was disappointing knowing in high school I was able to do 80 Curl Ups during testing. During the Cardiovascular Endurance test in 12 minutes, I ran/walked 1500 meters. Which was a score of 0 and a poor rating, this is not surprising as I have asthma, and this year pulled multiple muscles during track and was unable to work out for months causing me to lose my endurance. In Flexibility, I had an excellent rating and was well over the population average with my score of 25. I did dance up until my senior year of high school which explains my flexibility. During high school, I helped teach my women 's weightlifting class so under Muscular Strength I was surprised to have a poor rating with 21 pushups. I would like to point out I did ‘men’ pushups with my knees off the ground, so I wish there was a way to somehow convert ‘men’ pushups in the exrx to ‘female’ pushups. Finally, my BMI was 24.2 which falls under the Healthy Classification, I am not surprised as I am very fit for my age especially as I was a varsity athlete in high school. …show more content…

During this term and further this year my goals are to achieve a good/average rating in the areas I am lacking; Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, even improving my curl ups, and furthering my skills already at the appropriate

The increase in drills a multi-sport athlete adds to their training regimen increases the chances that an injury is likely to occur due to the constant use of various bones, muscles, and tendons. Joel Brenner in his article Overuse Injuries, Over-training, and Burnout in Child and Adolescent Athletes stated, “The growing bones of the young athlete cannot handle as much stress as the mature bones of adults.” With many sports including football, swimming, lacrosse, baseball, and various other sports that constantly use the arms and upper body it is extremely important that you pay attention and to the best of your ability replicate proper technique. Incorrect repetition of these movements can cause harm if not severe damage. In my high school

My passion for track and field began with a Nike advertisement. At age ten, I opened the newspaper to a two-page spread of the hometown distance running legend Steve Prefontaine overlaid by a paragraph of inspirational copy. It concluded asking, “Where is the Next Pre?” The story of his small town Oregon roots, gutsy racing style, and ambition to be the best resonated with me like nothing ever had before. I told myself I was the next Pre, and then tore off for my first run through the streets of Eugene, Oregon – “Tracktown USA”.

As a student, I always find myself stressed about things like homework, tests, due dates, grades, rent, and all other sorts of college-related problems. When I start to feel overwhelmed by all of the noise of being a young college student, I turn to the one thing that gives me the greatest sense of purpose and inner piece; weightlifting. For me, a weightlifting session is a form of meditation, a time when I can be by myself and truly find inner peace. There is no better feeling to me when I enter a gym with a planned and detailed workout in mind. The feeling of anticipation and readiness to vent out my stress gives me the motivation to hit a workout hard.

Fantastic Fitness is a place of “public accommodation” whose services are generally open to the public. Fantastic Fitness is demanding an exemption from the law because women have expressed a religious and private desire to exercise in a private room separate from men. Additionally, Fantastic Fitness has a policy of restricting special fitness equipment to men over the age of twenty-five so that “. . . no one is injured using the special equipment.” A three-tiered analysis will be applied to examine whether the law (1) is generally valid to businesses open to the public, (2) if the law is a legitimate use of Columbia County’s police powers, and (3) if Columbia County is obligated to exempt Fantastic Fitness from the law based on age, sex, privacy, and religious grounds.
