THEORICAL EXERCISES FIRST EVALUATION

STRENGTH

The strength is the physical ability to perform a physical work or a movement, as well as the power or effort to hold a body or resist a push.

There are 3 types of strength:

·The static strength: is one in which you exert tension against a resistance

 without displacement of muscle fibers. 

 This strength is reflected in judo, weightlifting and rowing.

·The explosive strength: is to make the greatest amount of force 

  in the shortest possible time without losing the power. 

  This strength is reflected in sports like boxing, taekwondo and karate.

· The absolute strength: refers to the ability of an athlete to

  exert maximum strength regardless of their body weight. 

  This strength is reflected athletics and jump.

                                                 FLEXIBILITY

It is a physical ability that consists of a body bending without having to break.

Factors on which flexibility depends are:

·  Muscular elasticity

· Joint mobility

· The genetics

· Age (younger age plus flexibility)

· The degree of muscle fatigue

· The degree of flexibility worked over the years

As a general rule, women tend to have more flexibility

than men for physiological reasons.

 ENDURANCE

The resistance is the ability to keep an effort effectively for as long as possible. 

There are 2 types of endurance:

·Aerobic endurance: It is the ability of a person to develop an 

effort of reduced intensity or medium for a long time. 

This capacity depends on oxygen management.

·Anaerobic endurance: is the ability to make a very intense

 effort for a short time with an environment that lacks oxygen.

HOW CAN I IMPROVE MY ENDURANCE

This are some of the exercises you can do to improve your endurance:

· High intensity bicycle

· Running long distances at a moderate pace.

· Jump rope

· Climbing stairs

· Training circuits.

· Swim for a moderate time

This are two excersises to improve your aerobic endurance: 

· Make burpees

· Make static movements

PROJECT 2

 How would you describe the ``program music´´?

Música programática es la música que tiene por objetivo evocar ideas e imágenes en la mente del oyente, representando musicalmente una escena, imagen o estado de ánimo. Al contrario, se entiende por música absoluta aquella que se aprecia por ella misma, sin ninguna referencia particular al mundo exterior a la propia música. 

Choose one of the next examples (worked alredy a bit in Music classes) and do some research about the composer.

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.

PROJECT 1

Which one do you prefer ?

I prefer the latter because I like the rhythm, how he sings it and also how he plays the guitar. I do not like the first one because I think it's a little slow and I do not like the second one because there are several voices

a)



b)

c)

Who was Bob Dylan ?

(Robert Allen Zimmerman, Duluth, United States, 1941) American singer and composer of folk and rock, one of the great figures of contemporary music, whose musical production made him a reference among the singer-songwriters.His admiration for the poet Dylan Thomas led him to adopt the artistic surname for which he became popular.

-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 to summary.

The 1960s began on January 1, 1960 and ended on December 31, 1969.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 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, Jimmy Hendrix.

TO BEGIN WHIT...(PART 1)

When you are sad, you understand the lyrics, and when you are happy, you enjoy the music. Why is this true?

When you are sad you look for someone to relate to your feeling. 
lyrics of a song gives you the composer's emotions with which you can relate your current state of sadness.
Maybe that why its called that saddest songs are the ones that are closest to your heart.
When you are happy you relate to music more as music is generally associated with joyfulness by a person.
