Joint Mobility and Flow Movement

On Thu Morning, students of 3B were given a session in Joint Mobility and Flow Movement by Mr Lloyd de Jongh.

Lloyd was part of a team of 3 presenters here in Singapore to talk to our students on safety and awareness. Having worked as a bodyguard before, Lloyd shared with the boy's how to achieve a full-body workout in just 15min, integrating all the various muscles groups in the body through their full range of motion.

As we can see from this photo, the student that enjoyed it the most was Mr Dilip Thapa:
The extreme range of motion through which Dilip can move his gluteus maximus is simply astounding. He must have taken some belly dancing classes back in Nepal!

If we see his funky leg work, we can definitely see Dilip as a contender for the next season of "So You Think You Can Dance?"

GCE PE- Weight Training for Fitness (Week4)

We are now into Week 4 of Term 1
The boys are now engaged in their Weight Training.
Today we see them beginning to work on the breakdown of performance, starting from:
1) Starting Position
2) Action
3) Finishing Position

In this session, the boys are working in groups to give their partners feedback. First group, we see Marcus filling in the assignment worksheet while Hong Kuang films and gives feedback to Ernest Ong:


In this next clip, Izzat is given Eugene feedback on the Chest press:


To assist our boys, we have capitalised on the prevalence of mobile phone technology and used their video phones to help them capture footage of each other during the performance of weight training. This will help them in reviewing each other performance.

Skill Test Circuit

With our GCE PE program on the way, Sec 3B was engaged in exploring various domains of skill related fitness.
We had a Skill Test Circuit today where students were tested on:
Agility
Co-ordination
Power
Reaction Time
Balance
Speed

Some outstanding performances were seen at the Agility station. Students were required to do the most number of consecutive double-leg jumps in a criss-cross fashion without stumbling or knocking the marking poles. Dilip Thapa amazed us with his incredbile Nepalese break-dancing.

Dilip's streak of 66 consecutive jumps seemed unbreakable until the determined attempt by Amsyar Omar who inched his way in and took him by 67 jumps to 66. Baik Amy! (oops, I mean Amsyar)

In the Reaction Test, participants were to lay on the floor. A partner releases a tennis ball over their stomach and the participant has to move his body away from the ball.
Naren showed us some hip wriggling in his attempt:

Maybe next time I will use bowling ball..... hmmmmm.
