1-    What is strength as basic physical ability?

The strength as basic physical capacity is defined as the ability to generate intramuscular tension against a resistance, regardless of whether or not it generates movement. The most active people or those who continue to do strength training have a lower tendency to lose muscle strength.

1.1 How many types of strength are there?

• ·  Maximum strength. The maximum force is understood as the greatest force that the neuromuscular system is able to develop by means of a maximum voluntary contraction. The main objective of this training will be to increase the peak of maximum strength, muscle volume and intramuscular coordination.

Ø ladders

•   The explosive strength is a manifestation of the force that is based on generating as much force as possible in the shortest time without losing efficiency. For this reason this type of strength is predominant in most team sports and in some individual sports modalities

Ø Split Jerk

Ø Hang Snatch

•    Strength resistance is nothing more than the ability to maintain a force at a constant level during the duration of an activity or sporting gesture (Manso, 1999). Contrary to the thinking of many, the resistance force is present in an incredible variety of sports disciplines, thanks to the different degrees of specificity that can be achieved. 

Ø squats

Ø push-ups

Ø ABS

2- What is flexibility as basic physical capacity?

Flexibility in physical education can be defined as the range of motion of the joints and the ability of the joints to move freely. In addition, it also refers to the mobility of the muscles, which allows more movement around the joints.

2.1- What factors does flexibility depend on?

-Joint mobility is the second part of the warming and mobilization of all the   muscles of the body through the joints. Joint mobility is like flexibility and   involutive capacity, which we lose with age.

-Muscular elasticity: capacity for muscle enlargement and recovery of the initial position. Joint mobility: maximum degree of movement of each joint.

-The intramuscular coordination regulates the different degrees of muscular contraction thanks to a mechanism of summation of motor units. The muscle contraction can be regulated in two ways: Regulating the number of motor units in action (sum of motor units). Regulating the frequency of nerve stimulation (sum of waves).

3-What is endurance as basic physical ablility?

Resistance is one of the 4 basic physical abilities. Is the ability to maintain a physical effort for a long time.

3.1- How many types of endurance are there?

·       The aerobic endurance, also called organic, occurs when a long-term effort is made, but of moderate intensity and for which the amount of oxygen used is equal to that which is absorbed.

Ø  Jump rope (with the Velites Fire 2.0.)

Ø  Burpees (Resistance for the whole body)

Ø  Running

Ø "Lightweight Barbell Cycling"

Ø  Going by bike

Ø  Static movements

·       Anaerobic endurance occurs in efforts of greater intensity but of shorter duration. When the exercise is too intense, the amount of oxygen that the body needs to consume is greater than what it can provide, resulting in an "oxygen debt" that can be balanced once the exercise is over.

Ø Brief and intense races (sprints).

Ø box jumps                                   

Ø Bars and parallels                 

Ø squats

Ø push-ups

How can I improve my endurance?

Bike

Cycling with the elliptical bike (or with the normal and, incidentally, enjoy the outdoors) is also beneficial to improve endurance-and burn a few calories. You should spend a lot of time and, if you look strong, make high intensity intervals mixing low rhythm times with short periods (20 or 25 seconds) of high intensity. At the beginning, as in the case of the first point, you will not be able. But you must not despair. Patience. Calm.

Circuit

Another good system to improve resistance is to make exercise circuits. Although it is better that you do this when you already have a minimum base. That is, when you have done the above points for a few weeks. With the activities contained in this circuit you will work cardiovascularly and, also, you will burn fat. You can include push-ups, squats, burpees and abdominals. For example, to begin, 10 repetitions of each without rest between one and another and giving several turns to the circuit.

E. PROJECT II

- How would you describe the "program music"? (2 or 3 lines are enough).
Programmatic music is the one that aims to make the listener have ideas or think about what he has heard.

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

Video 1                                     Video 2                                    Video 3

The one I like most is the first one (Vivaldi's Four Seasons) because I like its rhythm and it represents well the message that it wants to send.

Vivaldi lived between March 4, 1678 and July 28, 1741, and was nicknamed il prete rosso ("the red priest") for being a priest (Catholic) and a redhead. Of the more than 770 works that Vivaldi composed, the most famous are The Four Seasons, a series of concerts for violin and orchestra. Work that is part of his opus 8 "Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione"

Do you believe the composer transmits the title meaning in a good manner? Why?

Yes, because as the morning progresses I am more awake and that is what it does but making the instruments sound more and that they go faster or that there are more instruments.

D. PROJECT I

1) In the classroom, the teacher will focus on some famous songs of the sixties, explaining some issues in relation to Music and Sociology (although not in depth). These videos will be uploaded by the teacher to the blog. 

Video 1                                      Video 2                                                  Video 3 

- Which one do you prefer? Why? (2 or 3 lines are enough).
I prefer the first song because it is the original and it is not a cover therefore I like the originals more than the covers. The one I like the least is the last one because it makes some very abrupt changes of rhythm at the end and that does not like.

- Who was Bob Dylan? (2 or 3 lines are enough).
Bob Dylan, registered at birth as Robert Allen Zimmerman, is an American musician, composer, singer and poet, widely regarded as one of the most prolific and influential figures in popular music of the 20th century and early 21st century.


- 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 summarize. (4 or 5 lines are enough).
In the 60s there was a lot of racism and machismo there was a big movement about racism to fight for their rights. The hippies started, they were people who consumed LSD, marijuana ... and they did not wear very common clothes. Some artists like Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones ... Finally the 60s end in 1969.

A. TO BEGIN WITH... (part I)

Does sadness or melancholy belong to music? Or must music always make you feel happy or glad?
Yes, because a song can make you feel sad. Not many times music makes you feel melancholy and sadness.

Vocabulary

Color is really a sensation or impression, it is believed that it has our brain when it receives information from the eyes. Travel electromagnetic waves through the air. These waves come from the light that reflects the surfaces of the object.The colors of the material, also called subtractive mixtures, are easier to understand and are all based on colored pigments mixed with a binder, both are the main ingredients of any painting.Harmony studies all types and classification of colors.

Surfing

Surfing or boarding is a water sport that consists of sliding and turning in a wave, standing on a board.
There is evidence of the presence of surfing for more than 500 years on the islands of Polynesia. The English explorer James Cook arrived in the Hawaiian Islands in 1778.
On the other hand in the north of Peru, local cultures left traces that show men climbing waves. The huacos are pre-Inca ceramics and one of them clearly shows a man on a tree or something similar in an attitude of sliding on a wave.4 This would indicate that everything started in South America, but it was the Polynesians in their constant swells between islands, who some centuries later, took the custom of sliding waves to places like Hawaii.
With the contact, the native cultures were repressed and the surf happened to lose height. James Cook was later killed by the natives. In the twentieth century, surfing recovered and with the influx of American tourists and military in Hawaii and the fame of the Hawaiian Olympic Duke Kahanamoku, surfing began to become popular on the coasts of California and Australia, creating the germ of a subculture in the environments in which it was practiced extending then to other countries.
This happened in the 50s and 60s. Then the boards were large solid wood objects and surfing was a simple practice. Later it became more difficult thanks to the audacity of pioneers like Óscar Rodríguez, patriarch of modern surfing of big waves. There was also an evolution in acrobatics and movements as well as an investigation into new designs and board materials that would allow other expressions. Currently, competitive surfing is fundamentally based on:
• The design and materials researches of aeronautical engineers surfers looking for a hydrodynamic optimization of the boards.
• The current of Australian evolution of style (broad and energetic movements).
• In recent years, it has included influences from skateboarding and snowboarding - sports in turn based on surfing.
Surfing was known in the 60s in many countries on different continents. Currently, it is practiced in almost the entire world, although the most buoyant tables and accessories industries have their headquarters in Australia, southern Europe and the United States. Among the destinations most requested by practicing travelers are Australia and Southeast Asia. Surfing is a thriving sport also in Latin America in some areas of Peru, Chile, Mexico or Brazil, with a large number of beaches suitable and ideal for this sport

STREET ART

Pointillism or divisionism is a pictorial technique that consists of representing the luminous vibration through the application of points that, when viewed from a certain distance, make up well-defined figures and landscapes. In the paintings all the colors are pure and never mix with each other but it is the eye of the spectator who does it.
  The points that make up the work have a similar size, so that the viewer can not fail to observe a perfection that makes one think of an idyllic frozen image, like a lasting vision of reality or image.
Pointillism is considered as the continuation of Impressionism, it moves away from it in the conception of forms and volumes, and that is in pointillism.

Pastels can be hard or soft. Soft pastels have more pigment and less binder, so they are easier to smudge and have brighter colors.Hard pastels can stay relatively sharp, so they are ideal for pastel artwork that requires tight detail. Hard pastels have less pigment and more binder than soft pastels.Pastel artwork can either be referred to as a “pastel”, a “pastel painting”, or a “pastel drawing”. 
                                                           MAKING 

1º Place powdered gum tragacanth into a glass jar, add water and mix to dissolve.  Close the jar and refrigerate it for at least 48 hours. The mixture will become a gelatinous solution

2º Place powdered pigment on a glass palette. Make a hole in the middle of the pile of pigment. Pour a very small amount of the gum tragacanth solution into the center of the pigment. Using a palette knife, mix the pigment and the gum tragacanth solution.

3º  Is necessary, add more gum solution. Mix thoroughly until the mixture reaches a doughy consistency.

4ºTo make a lighter shade of blue, add a pile of white pigment to the remaning blue pastel. Add a small amount of gum,  and repeat the mixing process.     

5º Mold the doughy pastel into a stick from. Place the pastel on absorbent paper, such as a paper towel. Allow the pastel to dry. You can create your pastels in any shape that you want, depending on what you might want to use it for.

PIGMENTS

Until the middle of the last century, when it was discovered that aniline dyes were being made from coal tar, most of the dyes were obtained from natural species in plants or animals called carmine lakes. . There are two varieties of lake carmine, both produced from insects, cochineal lake and lake kermes, and both are used as dye and lake.
Lake Cochineal comes from the cochineal, native to the New World, which was used by the Aztecs to dye and paint and was brought to Europe in the sixteenth century after the Spanish conquest.
