Collapsed Lungs

Pneumothorax is what its called when your lung is collapsed.

Definition: Pneumothorax is a collection of air or gas in the chest or pleural space that causes part or all of a lung to collapse.

Descrpition: The pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space, but when air enters the pleural space the pressure in there becomes greater than in the lungs causing the lung to collapse. It can happen randomly or from trauma, like in car accidents. When it is a spontaneous pneumothorax it is most common to happen to men tall and thin between the ages of 20-40.

Interim Report

Hi Mom and Dad!
This is my interim report for the Human Kinetics Coop.

So far, the highlights for me have been:
Doing the Grouse Grind and doing a good job, in my opinion, on the Blood Flow video.

I am the most proud of:
My time on the Grouse Grind which was 51.04.

The most interesting things I have learned about are:
How are heart rate has a max and  how our body has different energy supplies for different types of workouts.

An example of when I really pushed myself in SuperFit is:
During the Grouse Grind I was trying my best to get the fastest time I could get.

I could make improvements in:
My effort level on getting work done in class and doing on my blog posts on time.

I am really looking forward to:
To more field field trips and fitness testing to try and improve my records like on the beep test.

The Basics - WORK HABITS:

Attendance (classes missed and why) - 0

Participation in field trips (woo kim, grouse grind, rock climbing) - I went to all three and lots of fun!

Lates (how many & reasons) - 0

Preparedness for class (gym strip &/or supplies) - I always have gym strip and my supplies.

Class time management (are you using your class time to complete your work?  engaged in class discussion? participating? following along? doing your best? or talking too much? ) - I can focus more in class, but I participate in everything and follow along all the time. I can try a bit harder and could talk a bit less.

Blog assignment completion - (out of 8 assignments) Comments? I think I might still be missing one and I really need to work on getting them done right away.

Grouse Grind Post

The Grouse Grind made my legs feel like they were on fire and had big lumps of burning coal in them. It came to a point where my body felt so use to the pain that it didn't hurt anymore like I got immune to it. My heart rate was off the charts, that's what it felt like, and my breaths were really quick. I really enjoyed the Grouse Grind and I would definitely do it again. My exertion level was definitely in level 5.

VO2 Max

My highest ever VO2 has been 57.5 which is really good for my age, the highest I got to on the last beep test was 54.0 which is still good but not my full potential. VO2 Max is the highest point your body can go to and it is your ml/kg/min.

Asad drew the pictures and helped with the script and Clay helped film and I came up with the script and helped with the labeling and different colors.
