PE 1

For our Hypo-kinetic Disease Project, me and my group were assigned the disorder of Obesity. Me and my group had to include our explanation of obesity, which component of fitness it impacts, activities that directly impact the disorder, and identify obesity on a national level. Me and my group split the work up evenly and my role was to identify obesity on a national level. After research, I added the information attached in the bottom. I also helped organize the poster. Two things I think did well during this project was communication and critical thinking. I showed this by communicating to all of my group mates which individual role we all had, and I also showed critical thinking by finding the most correct and up to date information. Two things I could have improved on this project are Conscientious learning and cultural competence. I could have set more goals for myself during this project and not try to rush myself. I could have also seeked multiple different perspectives on the work. I would sometimes catch myself not opening myself to other ideas.

Our group was assigned obesity. Obesity is a condition in which a person has an excessive amount of body fat. This excess fat can lead to a variety of health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Obesity is typically caused by a combination of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, and diet. People who are obese may have a diet that is high in calories and low in nutrients, and they may also be physically inactive. Obesity can be treated through a combination of diet, exercise, and behavior changes. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to help a person lose weight and improve their health.
