Tapping Into Expertise via Skype. Posted on November 10, 2011 by mrrobbo As my students are busy studying for their final examination, I was fortunate enough to be able to complete a brief interview with Exercise Physiologist Dr Grant Abt. In the interview I sought clarification for my students about how creatine supplementation can enhance performance. Now, given that my students are actually no longer at school, (currently studying for exams), I decided to send the MP3 file in an MMS message to the students mobile phones ensuring that they could listen to it wherever they were.
To make this possible I used the excellent www.smsglobal.com.au Although the conversation was short, it proved to be highly valuable and emphasised the breaking down of barriers that have held back learning for years.

A trial run was completed using a year 7 rugby lesson this morning ready for a full analysis of an extra curricular match next week. The pictures in the post show the criteria they created using the EasyTag panel. This was a trial run so the panels will need to be modified to best suit what exactly they should be looking for in an official.

Most athletes know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many still over train and feel guilty when they take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest athletes. Rest days are critical to sports performance for a variety of reasons. Some are physiological and some are psychological. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen. For recreational athletes, building in rest days can help maintain a better balance between home, work and fitness goals.
In the worst-case scenario, too few rest and recovery days can lead to overtraining syndrome - a difficult condition to recover from. What Happens During Recovery? Building recovery time into any training program is important because this is the time that the body adapts to the stress of exercise and the real training effect takes place. Short and Long-Term Recovery. P.E. Goes High-Tech. Digital Tools Getty By Jennifer Roland Jumping jacks, team sports, and laps around the school yard are still primarily how kids are getting physical exercise at school, but the use of technology is seeping into P.E. class too.
Beyond just bringing Dance Dance Revolution to P.E., some schools are integrating gym-style circuits, heart-rate monitors, and pedometers to encourage students to develop a sense of being physically fit. Plugging kids into their own physiology, veteran P.E. teacher Betty Ann Fish from Springside Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia is using heart rate monitors and software for circuit-training workouts. The new devices are relatively new in Fish’s teaching repertoire. For assessment, Fish uses TeacherPal and a spreadsheet to track student performance. Palek says the goal of the system is “to get kids more active and to teach kids how to take care of themselves.” Related Explore: P.E. K-5 iPad Apps According to Bloom's Taxonomy | Edutopia.
