Carolina Marín

Carolina María Marín Martín. He was born 15 of June, 1993, in Huelva. He started with badminton at age eight thanks to a friend, Laura, as well as school and flamenco. At age 12, he left flamenco classes and focused on the racket. He signed for the Recreativo La Orden and became a national champion for the first time at 13 years old. With 14, he moved to the Blume Residence in Madrid, where he met one of the key people in his career: his coach since then, Fernando Rivas. At 25 years old, she only has gold medals in individual absolute category: two as world champion, three as European champion after her success in Kolding and one as Olympic champion. In addition, it has been number one in the ranks and accounts with two majors: the All England and Malaysia. In this category he lacks Indonesia, Denmark and China. She has been Olympic champion in Rio de Janeiro 2016, three times world champion, in the years 2014, 2015 and 2018 and four times champion of Europe, in 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 .. In addition, she has achieved two Super Series Premier, El All England and the Malaysian Open, both in 2015. Winner of the National Sports Prize for the best Spanish athlete of the year 2014 and with the Bronze Medal of the Royal Order of Sports Merit (2014) and the Gold Medal of the Royal Order of Sports Merit (2016) .18 In December of 2016 the Sports Palace of Huelva was renamed as "Palacio de Deportes Carolina Marín" in his honor. In February 2018 he was awarded the Andalusia Medal. She is the pioneer of badminton in Spain, the first time we reached the highest odds of her sport, but I have always said that value was much much more: The racket that Carolina uses is made to measure, with a weight less than 100 grams, carbon fiber and a price around 300 euros. The blows to the steering wheels shoot over 300 km / h: the maximum speed in the discipline of the racket and the fastest sports.  

 

Theorical exercises first evaluation

-What is strength as basic physical ability? How many types of strenght are there? Explain them and give an example of each of them.

Strength is the ability to overcome, endure or face a muscular effort. Strength is a basic physical quality, along with flexibility, endurance and speed.Although it seems only linked to Locomotor apparatus (muscles), it also has a relation with the Nervous System, Cardio-vascular and respiratory system.To practice this force you will doing 30 seconds and rest 90 seconds.
Types:

•  Maximum force: It is the maximum weight that we can mobilize.It is the ability of the muscle to develop the maximum possible tension. Large loads are mobilized regardless of acceleration. The speed of movement is minimal and the repetitions that are made are few. Example: Halterofília

 

• Explosive force: It is the maximum weight that we can mobilize.It is the ability of the muscles to have a maximum possible acceleration load.The speed of movement tends to be maximum.It determines the performance in activities that require an explosive speed in their movements: volleyball when jumping and finishing, handball when throwing to goal, athletics when sprinting, soccer when hitting a ball... Example: A long jump  

 

• Strength of resistance: is the ability to maintain strength for a prolonged period of time. It is the muscular capacity to withstand fatigue caused by a prolonged effort in which many repeated muscle contractions are performed. Neither the load nor the acceleration are the maximum, neither the speed of the execution nor the great number of repetitions. It is the kind of strength necessary for activities that require a long and continuous effort: long races, rowing, swimming, cross-country skiing...Example: Alberto Contador uploading a port.

 

 -What is flexibility as basic physical capacity? What factors does flexibility depend on?

Flexibility: the ability of the joints to perform movements as widely as possible.Flexibility does not generate movement, but makes it possible.There are 2 types of flexibility: active (lonely) or pasive (with a partner).

The structural amplitude can be altered by several factors

    -Intrinsic factors:

• Type of articulation: each type has a different internal endurance, varies from one joint to another. 
• The bone structure: the bony stops of different bones that are part of ab articulation limits the movement of the same.
• The elasticity of muscle tissue: the endurance to elongation of the connective tissue of the muscles that are part of a joint. If the muscle is fatigued or the muscle tissue has scars from previous injury its elasticity decrease.
• The elasticity of the ligaments and tendons: they do not stretch much because they have a low elastic tissue and, consequently, limit the flexibility of a joint.
• Muscle mass: if a muscle is highly developed it can interfere with the ability of a joint to achieve maximum range of motion.
• Fatty tissue: an excess of fatty tissue can limit.
• The muscle relaxation and contraction capacity: allows the muscle to reach its maximum range of motion.
• The temperature of the joint.

    -Extrinsic factors:

• Inheritance
• Sex: woman are more flexible that men.
• Age:during childhood a child can be very flexible, but that capacity decreases progressively until old age.
• Sedentary lifestyle: lack of physical activity decreases mobility of the joints.
• Time of day: most individuals are more flexible in the afternoon than in the morning
• The ambient temperature : a warm temperature facilitates the amplitude of the movements
• Hydration: some authors suggest that drinking plenty of water helps increase the body ´s flexibility

 

-What is endurance as basic physical ability? How many types of endurance are there? Explain them and give an example of each of them.

Endurance: The ability to resist fatigue, maintain an effort effectively for as long possible. Repeat an activity many times. To perform any type of physical exercise the muscles need oxygen that reaches them through the blood, the respiratory system and the training level

Types of endurance

• Aerobic endurance: When the oxygen that reaches us it is sufficient for the exercise we are doing. It allows us to maintain uninterrupted and prolonged efforts of medium or low intensity. The amount of oxygen the muscles need to perform an activity is sufficient. When the activity ends and it is at rest, the heart rate, which was high, drops to normal levels in a short space of time. Example: Efforts of low intensity and long duration, such as fast walking.

 

• Anaerobic endurance:When the oxygen that reaches us is insufficient, it allows us to maintain a high intensity effort for as long as possible.The activity performed is very intense and needs more oxygen than the respiratory and cardiovascular system is able to provide. In this situation there is an oxygen that will have to be paid once the exercise is finished. The cardiac pulse takes time to normalize. In this category there are efforts of great intensity and short duration. Example a 100 meter race. 

 

-How can I improve my endurance? Explain two exercise to improve aerobic endurance.

      -First is to improve the cardio-circulatory system by increasing the size of the heart and reducing the number of heartbeats and improve the functioning of the venous and arterial network.
      -The second objective is to increase the lung capacity and the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen, slow fibers of the  muscular system.
      -And finally, activate the slow fibers of the muscular system and stimulate the other fibers at the same time.
      -You need to do the exercise 1 minute and rest 1 minute.
      -To know if you are in aerobic endurance , you calculate the high range keystronkes (220 minus your age) and you need stay between the 60% and 80% of you high range keystones.
The activity will vary depending on our physical form of departure.
Examples :

• Walking:Going for a walk at a medium and high pace is a good way to improve our physical endurance. Walking is an activity indicated for those people who are not used to exercising. 
• Swimming helps us to improve our resistance and we will not load our whole body on the back and legs, avoiding that they suffer joints like the knees or the ankles.

`Blowin´in the wind

BLOWING IN THE WIND

The bullets lost in the far west

And it hits people cry.

How many fish are die in the sea?

Pretending say something to,

 How many times can you get to the top?

Before falling so many times.

How many seas they have to disappear?

Before they exist in the sky,

How many hours they have to spend?

After losing his life.

How many dreams do I have to have?

To be able to fly high.

E. Project II

- How would you describe the ``program music´´? (2 or 3 lines are enough).

Programmatic music is one that is conceived to express ideas or images beyond music, for example, a trip, a landscape or a battle. Its differs from absolute or pure music or one that explores aesthetics from the sonorous and musical.The rule is the convergence of the arts and motivation outside of music. Programmatic music is always instrumental. This acquires popularity in 19th century with Romanticism.

- Choose one of the next examples (worked alredy a bit in Music classes) and do some research about the composer (4 or 5 lines are enough).

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was a violinist and a composer, businessman and Catholic priest. He was born in Venice (Italy) on the 4th of March 1678 and he died on the 28th of July 1741.He was called the red priest.He composed more than 770 works , approximately 400 concerts (in which he had reflected his mastery) and 46 operas.He is known for being the author of violin concert series and The Four Seasons.

-This is the musical piece we are playing in the class. Do you believe the composer transmits the little meaning in a good manner? Why?

Because it has a calm and smooth rhythm. As it progresses , the melody increases the volume and it's faster, simulating the dawn and the beginning of the day.

D. Project I

-Which one do you prefer ? Why? (2 or 3 lines are enough).

I like the first song because it is slow and I like the rhythm, I don't like the second song because  two voices sing, one higher than the other voice and I don't like the third song because the last stanza is very fast unlike the other stanzas of the song.

-Who was Bob Dylan? (2 or 3 lines are enough). 

Bob Dylan is an American singer , musician and composer. He was born in Minnesota (E.E.U.U), on 24th of May 1941. His real name is Robert Allez Zimmerman. He has six children. He is an important figure in popular music of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Much of his work was in the 1960s. The most important songs are ``Blowin ´ in the wind´´and ``A hard Rain´s a-Gonna Fall´´.

``A Hard Rain´s a-Gonna Fall´´

 

-In Music classes I have told you about the sixties and the music of that period, including some videos. If you paid attention, you will be capable of writing down a summary. (4 or 5 lines are enough)

In the sixties in America they wore rather strange clothes.Women and Afro-Americans began to fight for their rights. There was a counter-cultural, pacifist movement that was the hippies, the V was invented which means victory or peace.  Hippies had a reputation for taking drugs (marijuana, LSD...) and they used to wear colourful, flowery clothes, paint using very colorful colors .There was a war ( the Korean war) between Russia and the United States. The USA supported South Korea and Russia supported North Korea. Some famous groups were: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Mamas & the Papas, Jimmy Hendrix.

A.To begin with...(part I)

Does sadness or melancholy belong to music? Or must always make you feel happy or glad?

No, the music bisides to like us feel in many ways :sad, happy, angry...It will depend on what the author wants to convey to us and how he make us feel.
