Assignment: Unit 1 Food research project
For this assignment you are to research specific different cultures foods. The topic, however, should also relate to topics found in your textbook. The purpose of the assignment is to provide information and enhanced knowledge of your topic and ways in we can understand a culture through food. Use images and vivid descriptions of food. Use real world examples of cultures. Be sure that all the information in your project is fact based and can be backed up by educational materials (textbooks, books, encyclopedias).
PowerPoint /poster/media element example:
You may want to create a PowerPoint on your topic. If this is the case you would likely provide information on the cultures food practices. What is the lifestyle of the culture towards food? What kind of technology goes into producing the food? Describe the geography of the area where the food comes from. Does the food relate to any ceremonies or events? Include video/images and presentation should be 4-5 minutes and include a handout/worksheet for the other students in the class.
Format:
· Should be presented in class.
· Can include multimedia elements.
· Handout/worksheet
Topics and food cultures can include:
China
Creole and Cajun
Ethiopia
German
India
Japan
Italy
Mexico
1.How many muscles does the human body have?
2.What are muscles made of?
3. Name 3 places in the body where you would find smooth muscle.
4.Is the heart a muscle?
5.Describe how a muscle knows how to contract
6. What is the busiest muscle in the human body?
7.What is the largest muscle in the human body?
8.Name the muscle that bends the arm.
Type 1
This is predominately the muscle fibre that is used when you perform endurance type of activities such as running or weight sessions where you are lifting in the 25 plus rep range. Generally if you are ever lifting in this fashion you are not looking to gain strength but rather hoping to improve the muscle fibre's ability to deal with lactic acid build-up. This type of training should only be utilized by endurance athletes such as marathon runners or cyclists however as it is not really that beneficial for other athletes.
Type 2a
These are much more focused on generating strength than the type 1 and have a rapid contraction rate. When you are performing typical strength training exercises in the 6-8 rep range this is predominately the muscle fibre type you are going to call upon. They have a high capability of generating ATP (high energy compound), which is the prime source of fuel for short duration activities.
Type 2b
These types of muscle fibres generate the most force and are used predominately in activities that require an all out burst of effort. They rely exclusively on ATP for fuel and are very large in nature. They have a small number of mitochondria and fatigue very rapidly.
These types of muscle fibres are going to be seen in highest proportions in athletes such as sprinters or power lifters. Since these athletes are rarely performing activities that last much longer than 60 seconds in length they simply do not need to develop their slow twitch muscle fibres.
Questions:
1. What is meant by the terms muscle endurance and muscle strength?
2. What is meant by the terms absolute and relative strength?
3. How does skeletal muscle differ from smooth muscle and cardiac muscle?
4. Muscles can contract while extending a joint or flexing a joint. What is the name for these types of movements?
5. There are two types of isotonic contractions – eccentric and concentric. What
movement action is described by each of these terms?
6. What is the difference between an isotonic and an isometric contraction?
Required Textbooks:
The course focuses on the study of human movement and of systems, factors, and principles involved in human development. Students will learn about the effects of physical activity on health performance, the evolution of physical activity and sports, and the factors that influence an individual’s participation in physical activity. The course prepares students for university programs in physical education, kinesiology, recreation and sports administration.
