Unit 7 was a detailed overview of the muscles, types of muscle fibers, joint movements, and performance enhancements. The themes of this unit were learning the effects of performance enhancements on our bodies and how the different muscles in our body will affect the movement and well-being of our bodies.
Throughout the unit, we took on projects to enhance our knowledge on the topic. Such projects include the chicken dissection and the muscle contraction video. The chicken dissection tested our knowledge on the muscles of the chicken- their location and anatomical parts. The muscle contraction video, on the other hand, tested our knowledge on the muscle contraction process, our drawing skills, and our walking skills.
What I wanted to learn more about were the different scandals professional athletes were involved in and which performance enhancements they used. I am really interested in the stories behind these drug scandals and also interested how the performance enhancements they used benefited and/or destroyed their bodies.
As a student, I think I am on the way to complete my New Year Goals. My goals were to stop procrastinating and sleep more often. So far, I sleep about six to eight hours, which was an improvement from only sleeping four to five hours. As to procrastinating, I started my homework earlier on the weekends instead of cramming all the homework on Sunday night.
