We were given the task to research a hypokinetic disease of our preference and apply that knowledge to a poster of which we would then answer the following topics: definition, symptoms, negative impact on quality of life, which health component of fitness it impacts, activities that lower your chances of getting this disease, and the impact that the disease has on a national level.

Hypokinetic Disease: A disease that is brought on by a deficiency of exercise or movement.

Coronary Heart Disease: Damage or disease in your heart’s major blood vessels and plaque builds up, narrowing your arteries.

Heart Attack: An unforeseen occurrence of coronary thrombosis.

Plaque: A substance in your body that is predominantly made up of fat, cholesterol, and calcium.

Angina: A condition causing severe or acute pain in the chest. This pain commonly spreads to the shoulders, arms, and neck due to insufficient blood supply to the heart.

This project was a great addition to our class because it allowed those who strive better in the project based and academic portion of school to feel more comfortable in physical education. Alluding to the six C's, I think I played a great part into critical thinking and overall, being a conscientious learner. Not only did I put in a great amount of effort into succeeding in this project, but our team was also able to finish our poster with time to spare at the end due to an abundance of time management. Although, I believe that there is still room for growth in collaboration and communication. I found this an issue because I prefer working individually at times.
