Our Goal/The Proccess

Our goal during this project was to create a poster which helped inform people about a type of hypokinetic disease. My group, consisting of Marie Fehring, Kyle Favre and Maggie Dawsari took a lot of time considering what disease we wanted to focus on.

We threw around the idea of presenting diabetes (type 1), obesity or lower back pain. But in the end, we decided to present diabetes (type 2). After picking our topic we started researching it, and picking out what information we wanted on our poster. Lastly we wrote down the information in pencil and rewrote it in pen, while adding two small drawings to help further explain our information.

Content

Hypokinetic disease: A disease brought on, at least in part, by insufficient movement and exercise.

Type 1 diabetes: a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin

Type 2 diabetes: A long-term metabolic disorder that is characterized by high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin.

Cardiovascular fitness: The ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen-rich blood to the working muscle tissues, and the ability of the muscles to use oxygen to produce energy for movement.

Aerobic: Relating to or denoting exercise that improves or is intended to improve the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.

Aerobic Exercise: light-to-moderate intensity activities that are sufficiently supported by aerobic metabolism can be performed for extended periods of time.

Body composition: the proportion of fat and fat-free mass in your body.

Muscular endurance: the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.

Muscular strength: the ability of a muscle group to develop maximal contractile force against a resistance in a single contraction.
