Daily / Total

10 Oct 2011 Today I was assigned to work on a fall prevention program for seniors living in assisted living. I will be presenting my program to the caregivers at the assisted living facility on 10/20.

I discovered that I really enjoy doing the research necessary to plan programs and presentations. I am having an issue with adequate work space but the supervisor is finding a desk for me.

12 Oct 2011 Today I was able to run practice so I drilled the team on 10m, 15m and 20m sprints with leg work in between.

I really enjoy finding new ways to make practice fun and interactive. The paperwork of putting down practice drills on paper is a little tedious but I’m sure it will get easier.

Example – NOT acceptable

Competency 1: Plan strategies, interventions and health education programs of instruction based on assessment of individual and community needs.

Course Experience: Required Core ClassesHE227 Community/Public Health, HE375 Epidemiology, HE385 Foundations of Health Ed, HE473 Biometrics, HE487 Assessment/Eval, HE471 Program Planning, HE419 Internship

1a. Access valid health-related data and use computerized sources of health-related information.

In classes I used computers and the internet to research health related issues, statistics and analysis.

1b. Use theory-based and/or evidence-based research results when planning programs and curriculums.

I looked at some programs that were to launch in the future and read about theory.

1c. Apply techniques to acquire qualitative and quantitative health data.

Example – AcceptableCompetency 1: Plan strategies, interventions and health education programs of instruction based on assessment of individual and community needs.

Course Experience: Required Core ClassesHE227 Community/Public Health, HE375 Epidemiology, HE385 Foundations of Health Ed, HE473 Biometrics, HE487 Assessment/Eval, HE471 Program Planning, HE419 Internship

1a. Access valid health-related data and use computerized sources of health-related information.

HE227: Accessed the CDC website to learn about disease outbreaks and the regulations and protocols in place to address them. HE471: Utilized the US Census Bureau concerning health equity in various demographics.

1b. Use theory-based and/or evidence-based research results when planning programs and curriculums.

HE385: Studied a variety of theory-based and evidence-based methods and results including the Social Cognitive Theory, Health Belief Model and Theory of Planned Behavior and worked with a client using a theory to facilitate behavior change. (See Behavior Change Project)

1c. Apply techniques to acquire qualitative and quantitative health data.

HE375: Collected and research quantitative data pertaining to epidemiological studies and the spread of disease.HE487: Evaluated quantitative research of food, volunteer hours, and overall growth of Food for Lane County as it continues to serve a growing population subject to inadequate food resources.

Example – AcceptableCompetency 1: Plan effective exercise interventions based on assessment of individual, environmental, and task constraints, and on assessment of interactions among constraints.

Course Experience: Required Core ClassesPE230 Foundations of EXSS, PE310 Motor Learning, PE371 Kinesiology, PE415 Lifespan Motor Dev, PE444 Adapted PA, , PE470 Soc & Psy of PA, PE473 Phys of Ex, PE483 Biomechanics, PE485 Exercise Testing & Rx, PE419 Internship

1a. Apply appropriate qualitative and quantitative measurement and analysis techniques in assessment of constraints and constraint interactions.

PE371 Kinesiology: We learned the structure and function of the human musculoskeletal system and how to apply movement analysis techniques to a wide range of fundamental and activity specific movement patterns.

1b. Determine intervention outcomes based on constraint and interaction assessment.

PE444 Adapted Physical Activity: We looked at problems associated with people with disabilities and the associations that help people with disabilities in the community and in the school system. We learned how to accommodate people with disabilities without them feeling like they are different. I was able to visit the Adaptive Riding Institute to learn what type of accommodations they make with horses for people with disabilities who want to ride horses.

1c. Demonstrate effective manipulation of individual, environmental and task constraints in intervention development.

PE485 Exercise Testing & Rx: I learned different methods and protocols for screening, evaluating, and prescribing exercise programs for healthy and non-healthy adults. There was an emphasis on exercise testing procedures and interpretation of results to promote a healthy, physically active lifestyle. This knowledge was applied to many case studies. With these case studies, there were several constraints and I had to make suggestions how to manage these constraints and work through them to have a successful exercise program. (See Competency 1 – Case Study Risk Stratification)
