The Drole Pineapple Company managers are always interested in the sizes of the pineapples grown in the company’s fields, because bigger and juicier pineapples means bigger and juicier wallets. As any company would, the Drole Pineapple Company is very conscious about maximizing its profits as much as possible, and for or Drole, advertising the succulent size of its pineapples is a key factor to its sales strategy. Thus, managers of the company are interested in finding the largest pineapples in its harvested batch to put into the market to uphold its reputation of having the largest pineapples in the business. The managers of Drole are currently trying to argue that the mean weight of the pineapples harvested last year is actually greater than the previously recorded 31 ounces; a greater mean weight would mean greater profits and advertising power for the company. So through various calculations, I will determine whether the company is correct in its claim and grant whether or not Drole deserves its title for harvesting the largest pineapples in the country.…
IV. Conclusion: I saw that the subject’s grip strength was weakening drastically towards the end of each trial, but it seemed that the continuous gripping was more tiring than the repetitive gripping. This supports my hypothesis that the muscle fatigue is greater in the continuous grip.…

Based on the checklist, my strongest area is responsibility. I demonstrate responsibility during group works; I complete all my assigned jobs on time and I take lead in the group such as reminding other teammates about their job and materials to bring. I make sure I complete my assignments before the deadlines, and I would give up the time going out to have fun to finish my work if I couldn’t finish them on time. I submit my own work and I would make sure to cite any references I used.…
This book review is on Strengths Finder 2.0. Written by Tom Rath, this book follows and elaborates on Donald Clifton's Strength Finder assessment created in 1998. Strength Finder 2.0 looks to dispel the outdated belief that only weaknesses need to be improved upon. The textbook Psychology Applied to Work describes this concept as positive psychology, "The aim of positive psychology is to shift the emphasis away from what is wrong with people to what is right with people" (Muchinsky & Culberson, pg. 384, 2016). With that premise on its head, Strengths Finder 2.0 looks to first identify the strengths of others and directs them to improve on what they already do so well. Even though the text can be applied practically, the book really focuses…
The advantages of the test are that it’s very easy to carry out and you can get an instant result, it doesn’t take up too much room, it doesn’t take too long to perform it and you can do it anywhere you want. A big disadvantage is that the grip dynamometer costs 110 pounds which is a lot of money and it’s not realistic that everyone will equip themselves with one of these just to see how strong there forearms are. However the test doesn’t represent our strength in all of the muscles in our body and I believe that a different exercise should be used to test the strength of someone.…
The muscles of the abdomen, back and pelvis compose the body's core. These large muscles are responsible for balance and support since they are located near in the vicinity of your center of gravity. In order for it to function well, these muscles should be strengthened. When you have a strong core, you are able to lift objects with ease, walk or run without falling or stumbling, have a good posture and are generally able to hold your body up for long periods of time without tiring. A powerful core also allows you to perform your workouts longer, allowing you to gain more from your regimen. With a well-developed core, you can exercise without fear of injury or strain.…
The strong person is defined as one who is able to exert great bodily or muscular power. Another component of muscular fitness that is crucial is muscular endurance, which is the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged period of time. For example, performing 50 squats with a weight of 50 kilograms on the shoulders requires both attributes, 150 squats without weight requires more muscular endurance while the ability to perform a single squat with a weight of 200 kilograms depends on muscular strength. Different tests are used for assessment of these different components of musculoskeletal fitness. To determine the strongest person in the group, multiple factors needs to be taken into account, including age, height, gender,…
This paper will address social support and self sufficiency values and how they relate to the strength based model. Social support means receiving assistance from outside resources these resources can be family members, friends, church but most often it is the assistance of government programs and self-sufficiency when one has the resources and capabilities to take care of themselves without the help or assistance of outside resources.

Strength based assessment is a tool that focuses on people 's strengths rather than their problems, with an aim to move away from categorising the person as the problem and to focus on their strengths and resilience by empowering the client to be the problem solver. It is important for the worker to assist in recognising, organising and enhancing existing strengths and resources. The worker needs to be optimistic about what people can achieve by focussing on the capacities of individuals to be resourceful in different situations. Dennis Saleebey states (Saleebey, 2002) I firmly believe that once committed you will be surprised even amazed, at the array of talents, skills, knowledge, and resources that you discover…
These tests all challenged different components of fitness. Such as the sit and reach measured flexibility, sit-ups, press-ups and plank tested muscular endurance and the sprints to determine speed. Other tests such as the step test and the 1.5 mile run challenged aerobic endurance.…
I rolled the bar forwards, once, twice, three times... I slowly began to extend my legs, and drive my hips forward. The bar began to bend as it cleared the platform, as it rose up my legs. Quickly, at first, but then... Slower, and slower. And slower. The bar reached a full stop as it hit my knees, and my body began to tremble from exertion. Cheers of reassurance, of confidence came ringing in from all sides, but I knew it was lost. I continued to try and work the bar up, as my body shook more and more... Until I collapsed downwards, the bar slamming into the wooden platform, making the old wood creak. The weight room spiraled into a stunned silence as I simply stared at the weights for a few moments. A few pats of reassurance came, but I waved them off. At first, I was as stunned as they were, but then I was angry. I was angry at myself for not getting the weight up, at my friends for not pushing me hard enough, at anyone I could be angry at. I couldn't understand why I the weight simply wouldn't go up, I had pushed myself to my limits and past them countless times - I couldn't have worked any harder. But then it hit me, and I learned my lesson from that dead lift. I learned to accept failure, probably one of the most important lessons I could learn, and I had the luck to learn it…
