Fitness testing & the said principle

9/21/2020

EXERCISE EVERYDAY!

Today students completed a writing assessment to see where their writing is at. I will use this information to guide my planning and teaching as we start our personal writing unit. After teaching, and lots of practice studnets will be able to compare their final writing pieces to this sample to see their growth as writers. Students also completed the second portion of our first round of fitness testing. Students will use their fitness testing data to set a personal fitness goal for the next few months.

IMPORTANT- Bring a device to school tomorrow

1)PHYSICAL & HEALTH EDUCATION: Think about what component of fitness you would like improve on for you fitness goal

2) WORD WORK: Unit 2 word analysis. Start studying spellings and learning the meanings for test.

3) ART/COLLAGE: Bring materials for your personal collage

4) POST A RESPONSE:

In PE we learned about two an amazing principle called the SAID Principle.
LEARNING INTENTION: I can write a paragraph explaining the SAID Principle
SUCCESS CRITERIA:
1.) Paragraph format (intro, body, and conclusion)
2.) Includes at least 2 examples
3.) Check for givens being (spelling, grammar, sentence structure, capitals, and punctuation).
4.) Read one other student's paragraph and ask them one question (reply to their comment)
5.) Reply to any questions received.

The SAID Principle stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand. It means that when the body under some form of stress, it starts to make adaptations that will help the body to get better at withstanding that specific form of stress overtime. You have to put the stress in the right amount, meaning not too much and not too little. If there isn't enough stress, there will be no adaptation, and if there is too much stress, you will get burnouts or injuries. If you want to see adaptation in running for example, you can't go ahead and start doing a hundred push ups a day, you need to have the right training. So if you are training running, you should set a goal for running how far each day and increase it by how far each day. And that is exactly what Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand (SAID) means.

Good paragraph, Gabriel! You gave very good examples and explained clearly. I think you should look back at the success criteria and edit your grammar next time (Hint: look carefully at your second sentence).

Hi, mr fisher for the collage project are we allow to print/ cut any pictures that we like?

9/21/2020 06:20:29 pm

Yes. We are allowed to print images.

9/21/2020 07:46:48 pm

Ok thx Jeffery!

Shirley, this is just a suggestion, but if you would like, you can print out pictures in black and white, then colour them in.

The SAID principle stands for "specific adaptation to imposed demand". To know the meaning of this, you can break down the words. You should have a SPECIFIC routine(your ADAPTATION) that will eventually IMPOSE, or reach, your DEMAND. For example, if you want to do 10 proper push-ups in a row, a specific adaptation may be to do 2 push-ups every day, then 4 push-ups, and so on. That way, you will keep a steady pace of progress, and in the end, you will reach your demand of doing 10 push-ups. Another example is if your demand is to swim 20 laps, your specific adaptation might be to swim 2 laps a day. Once you can swim 2 laps with ease, you can move on to 4 laps, then 6, etc. This is what the SAID principle is.

Maybe don't use the last sentence. It seems to obvious. it doesn't tie a perfect knot to end the paragraph. Nice paragraph though!

OK, thanks!

The SAID principle is to get more vital for the body part you want by doing the specific sport or practice method.

SAID stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand. For example, If I want to run fast, then I will practice sprinting every day. But if I want to run continuously for a long distance, then I will practice controlling my breath and my speed to keep going and not stop. Following this principle will give the user a clear goal to achieve to know precisely what to do. The famous sports players and celebrity sports stars all do this. Here's another example: These people you see on TV that look like they have a lot of muscles, but their main goal isn't to get strong, their goal is to have a fit body. Like no one has all body parts muscular. That is why you don't see weight lifters have that much muscle because they focus all their strength on the arms. It is also the reason you see the men from moving companies are not ripped with muscles. Anyway, Following the SAID principle is extremely important to fitness.

Hello Bob, I wanted to ask, do paragraphs usually have more than one example?, just wondering (not saying you can't write more than one).

9/21/2020 08:49:39 pm

Oh...uh...I don't know...

9/21/2020 09:02:55 pm

I think they do. There should be as many supporting details to the topic sentence as possible.

SAID stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand. That means the more we do something the better we are at it. This is why if you swim, you might not be as good in speed biking. Another example is if you play basketball, you might not be good at archery. When you do an activity, parts of your body start getting stressed. When you continue experiencing it, your body adapts to it, and over time it makes it easier to do the same activity. When I first started doing Taekwondo, I had to do 5 push-ups for my yellow belt test. Every belt the number of push-ups increased. 6 years later I got better at doing push-ups. Now I can do 100 push-ups in one setting because my body has adapted to the stress of doing push-ups. That is why if you want to get better at an activity, then you should just keep doing it. That is the SAID principle.

9/21/2020 07:32:54 pm

Hi Kai,
Nice explanation! Instead of writing "This is why if you swim, you might not be as good in speed biking. Another example is if you play basketball, you might not be good at archery.", maybe you could write
"For example, if you swim, you might not be as good in speed biking. Another example is if you play basketball, you might not be good at archery." That will make things flow better. Nice work!

Today in the gym we learned about the Said principle. The SAID principle stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. The Said principle is when your body is trying to get better at something you're practicing.
For example: if you're trying to get better at running and you want to run 5 miles. Every day you would try to run for at least 1 hour. On the first day, you would run 1 mile and when you think running 1 mile is easy then, you would start running 2 miles. After you would read for 3 miles, 4 miles etc. You would keep running till you reach your goal 5 miles. Another example is to hold the plank for longer than 3 minutes you would have to practice doing a plank every day. The first day you would hold a plank for 30 seconds and next day 40 seconds then, 50 seconds and so on. You would keep trying until you achieve your goal.
The Said principle is great if you want to achieve a fitness goal. It will help you get better at your activity every day.

I like your paragragh and writing but instead of using the same way to explain your examples, one of the way can be like telling us what should do and what shouldn't we do. Example: My goal is to bike 1 mile in 4 mins. Then you can say you shouldn't be doing fitness in the gym. Instead, you should practice your biking skills everyday.

All species of animals adapt to different environments and needs. SAID stands for "Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand". It means that with specific training, any living things can change according to what they want. Most people do this everyday whether they know it or not. Any sort of practice is a representation of the SAID principles at work. For example, if a biker wants to get faster for the big race next week, he is not going to be practicing the piano to get faster. He probably will choose to go to the gym to boost the muscles in his legs. Another example of SAID at work is specialties. Figure skaters will have thin bodies and strong legs. They will not have the strength to take on a sumo wrester. On the other hand, the sumo wrestler will not be able to make the thin and nimble jumps the figure skater is able to make. These examples show how the SAID principle is used. We are made to adapt so why not see what you can achieve?

Hi Jeffrey, your paragraph is very well-written, but may I suggest that you add a comma in the last sentence?

9/21/2020 07:34:58 pm

The SAID principal stand for "Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand" This SAID principal means your are praticing the right thing to get better. For Example, you are a basketball player and you want to practice to jump higher. You won't go and practice swimming, you will go to a basketball court and practice basketball and jumping skills. Another example is if you are a fencer(like me) you want to make your legs stonger, then you will be doing wall sit for a long time to train your legs muscle. The SAID principal will help you practice in the correct way andd you should follow.

The SAID principal stand for "Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand" This SAID principal means your are praticing the right thing to get better. For Example, you are a volleyball player and you want to practice to jump higher. You won't go and practice soccer skills because they are not the same skills! Another example is if you are the basketball player (like me) you want to make your arms/hands stronger and you will be training for a long time because every works you want to make very good you always to train for a long times! And The SAID principal will help you practice in the correct way and you should follow.
Cuz that is good for you!!!

The SAID principal means Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand. It can help you get better with something you are bad at. Like if you are bad at soccer you can practice your running and shooting instead of practicing you throwing. Also if you want to get better at hockey you have to practice your skating instead of practicing your running.
These are two examples of the SAID principles.

When doing sports or physical training, it is important to set a goal for oneself. That is when the SAID principle comes in. SAID stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. An example would be if I set a goal to do 15 pull-ups in a row, I would train for that skillset but would only excel in that field but not any another skill range because I would only have trained for that specific need. My body would have specifically adjusted to that specific demand or need, so my body would have adapted to doing pull-ups and other activities using the upper body strength. Another example would be if set my goal to do more sit-ups in a row for longer, my body would adapt and adjust to fit my demand, which would be to do more sit-ups. Completing this goal would mean that I would only have a strong core. The SAID principle is very helpful to make a goal, and make sure to follow it when making a goal for physical activities!

I wasn’t there but uh lemme give it a try-

SAID stands for Specific Adaptations to Imposed Demands. Which means you would need to do specific things to get better at what you would like to do. For example if you want to run faster, then don’t lift weights, if you want to lift heavy things, then don’t run! If I wanted to be able to jump really high then jump a lot. If I wanted to run faster then I’ll run laps and increase my speed over time. If you want to get better at a specific thing then you can google what exercise could help you, and start doing it!

9/21/2020 08:45:42 pm

Yeah... I was away on that day too

The SAID principle stands for Specific Adaption to Imposed Demand. Basically, this means to do a specific training to part of your body, like in a few days, we will have the Terry Fox Run marathon of hope, so someone might want to train to be the fastest runner there. But they wouldn't train their arm muscles, would they? No, they would train their legs, because training for a marathon means running, and running means using leg muscles. Sometimes, you need to train two or three parts of your body to excel at it; basketball, swimming, gymnastics etc. So it really depends on the sport or exercise you want to do.
Sometimes, when I am determined to do something, I sometimes succeed, without much training or watching any tutorials. I hope this coarse helps me, I've never really liked sports, but this coarse will most likely help me complete my fitness goals and have a good start in high school!

People get confused when it comes to training. They don't know what to train. If you're in that case, the SAID principle will help guide you into having success in your sport. SAID principle is Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand. For example, if you play basketball, you would use arm muscle more then leg muscle. Using this principle, you would train your arms by doing push-ups or planks. It doesn't have to be the examples I listed but do exercises that strengthens your arm. This applies to every sport. This principle does not refrain you from exercising other muscles, the point of this SAID principle is to make you train the specific muscles and try to decrease physical activities not associated with your sport.

SAID stands for Specific Adaption to Imposed Demand. That means if you keep on practicing you will get better. For example, let's say I want to run for 15 minutes everyday. Of course when I first start running, I won't be the best at it. But, if I keep on running and running every single day, I will eventually be able to run 15 minutes everyday easily, maybe even be able to run more. It also means that if you do one thing that's not really that much alike from another thing, you won't be able to do it as easily as another person who practices that one thing a bunch and vice versa. For example, if you practice trying to swim a certain distance as quickly as possible, you might not be able to swim for that long because you only practice swimming as fast as you can to the other side of your pool. and same with the other guy who trys to swim for as long as they can.

The SAID principle

The specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID) means that the body will specifically adapt to whatever demands are needed at the moment. For an example, somebody that plays the piano for a long time may have their fingers adapt to make playing the piano more natural. Or, if the person walks a lot, their legs may adapt to their walking position. This principle can also be applied to exercise. Such as, if the person lifts weights a lot, the arms will adapt to help lift the weights. However, the SAID principle doesn’t overlap much with other exercises. Say if a person was lifting weights, they wouldn’t be better at anything other than that because the body was only adapting to lifting weights, not anything else. The SAID principle can be applied in many different ways, one common way is to help an injured leg. The injured person could do exercises specifically for that leg to help it heal. In conclusion, the SAID principle is a type of exercise meant to focus your body to do one task.
