Log 6 - Volleyball

During the game of volleyball, the two factors that influenced me in participating in volleyball was Social Factors and being able to go at my own pace. The reason as for why Social Factors is one of my factors is because I was able to participate more in volley knowing that I had a friend that was in the same team as me. And to have a friend on the same team as me, it makes me feel more comfortable/ confident in myself. Being able to go at my own pace was another factor of mine because since I wasn't able to do volley properly, I was able to learn how to play/hit the ball. I was also allowed to go at my own pace because when it was my turn to hit the ball, I wasn't pressured to hurry up and hit the ball. Being able to go at my own pace made the game for me a little bit more fun because having the feeling that I didn't have to rush made me feel more at ease with participating in volley.

Log 5 - Volleyball

The two factors that influenced me in participating in volley was sense of achievement and social factors. The reason as to why sense of achievement is one of my factors that influenced my participation is because knowing that I wasn't that good at serving the ball, I was still able to hit the ball back over to the opponent's side to try at least score a point for my team. Also knowing that I tried my best to push myself into getting out of my comfort zone, I still stood my grounds and participated in volley so that I was able to help out my team and that made me feel like I had achieved something. Social factors influenced my participation because as I said above, I tried my best to push myself out of my comfort zone is because I had had one of my friends be in my team which made me relax a bit more and made me feel more comfortable to join into the game as much as I wanted too.

Log 4 - Volleyball

The two factors that had influenced me by participating in volleyball was Social factors and Well-being. Social factors impacted my participation in volleyball because I was able to be on the team that I wanted. The team where I knew I would feel most comfortable in because my friends were in there. Knowing that I was able to be on that team, it made feel more relaxed/comfortable and participate more in the activity. Because I know that if I was to be on a team where I didn't feel comfortable, I wouldn't have joined as much in the game. Well-being had an influence on my participation in joining volley, because of me moving around during the whole game, it would have benefited my physical well-being, causing me to be active and to hope it would have made me fitter.

Log 3 - Ki O Rahi

In the activity Ki O Rahi, The two factors that influenced my participation in the game were Challenge, fun and enjoyment.
The reason as to why 'challenge' was one of my factors is because I wanted to push myself into seeing if I was score as many points as possible and to see if I was able to participate myself into playing the whole way through the game. It was also a challenge because to push myself out of my comfort zone and socialize with my team and the people around me. Fun and enjoyment was another one of my factors because even though I was pushing myself out of my comfort zone, I still had fun playing Ki O Rahi and the enjoyment it bought to be by chasing after the opposing side to take the flag off of them and all the laughter that was happening at the same time. Because at the end of the day, If I wasn't able to score as many points as wanted too or get out of my comfort zone, I was still able to have fun, which all that matters to me.

Log 2 - Turbo Touch

In turbo touch, the two factor that had an influence on me by participating in turbo was Sense Of Achievement and Social Factors.
Sense of achievement influenced my participation in turbo touch because, at the end of the game, I knew that even though I may have not gone after the ball like the rest of my team did, I still stayed back guarding the mat trying to make sure that the opposing team doesn't score a try. And doing something instead of not doing anything felt good knowing that I still did something to help out my team. Social Factor influenced my participation in Turbo Touch because since one person that I knew and talk to the most in practical and theory was in my team, I was able to participate more in the activity that we were doing knowing that there is someone that I know is on my side. And if she wasn't on my team, I know that I would have not participated that much or even not at all.

Log -1 Multisports

In 1 sport, the two factors that influenced my participation in doing multisports was challenge, fun and enjoyment.
My first factor (challenge) influenced me participating in p.e because I wanted to challenge myself by seeing if I was able to contribute myself to play all the activities. My second factor ( fun and enjoyment) influenced my participation because even though I didn't want to join 1-3 activities in multisports, I still had fun participating in the activities that I did do and also had fun joining in the games that I didn't really want to participate in.

Follow - Through Phase


In the follow-through phase, I still need to contract certain segments. To make sure my shot is effective I need to contract my smaller muscles in my arm. I know that I am still following the principle of sequence because my smaller muscles are the last one to finish off. 

While in the follow through phase the joints that are being used are my shoulder joints (ball and socket) and my elbow joint (hinge joint). From the execution phase to the follow-through phase, my shoulder and my elbow are still continuing to be fully extended as my shoulder is going towards the ground and my elbow is not flexing. Another joint that is In the follow-through phase, is my ankle joint and my hip joint. The working muscle that is contracting for the shoulder joint is the latissimus dorsi and the antagonist muscle in this movement is my pectoralis major. The agonist muscle in the elbow in this movement is my triceps and the antagonist muscle in this movement is my biceps as my elbow is extended. As my hip is in the extended formation, The contracting muscle is my quadriceps and my Maximus is the relaxing muscle in this movement. As my ankles in plantar flexion, the agonist muscle is my gastrocnemius and the antagonist muscle is my tibialis anterior. The similarities between mine and the ideals joints are that we both are using the same joints as the ones I have listed above.

In the follow-through phase, I am using Newton's third law. Newton's third law states "Whenever a force is applied, there is an equal and opposite reaction". I am applying Newton's Third law in basketball by the more I flex my joints and contract my muscles, the more force I create causing it to be the action and the reaction is the force that I have created, the further the ball will travel.

In the follow-through phase balance and stability is still important in producing a well-executed shot. To be balanced in this phase I need to make sure that my line of gravity is within my base of support to give me the balance and support I need. I know that I am balanced because my base of support is still in contact with the ground. I can see that my balance and stability is the same as the ideals as we both have our center of gravity located in our body.
