Answer 1

EQ: What is the best way for a boxer to be remembered by future generations of boxers?

1. A unique fighting style that attracts an audience is one way for a boxer to be remembered.
2.
  • Service Learning: My instructor was at a pro gym once and he was watching a Colombian fighter. This fighter threw his hooks like a windmill, one after the other, and he was winning. The crowd loved it. There were famous fighters in the gym, but everyone wanted to see this fighter with the weird hooks. 
  • Inside Boxing(book): Sometimes a fighter doesn't even need a specific way to punch or move, Sugar Ray Robinson was just an all-around perfect fighter. ESPN named him the the greatest fighter of all time in their 2007 50 greatest boxers of all time.

Science Fair Proposal

1. If the human body under goes shock, then the RR intervals on an EKG reading will be closer together.
2. Dependent: Heart rate and blood pressure
Independent: The initial shock
Control: How the shock is applied
3. My experiment has to do with activating the baroreflex. This is the reflex that controls your blood pressure. So maybe if a boxer allows himself to get hit a few times at the beginning of the fight, it will cause his blood pressure to increase and this will get blood into the places he needs it quicker and the adrenaline will take affect faster. This can help the boxer take control of the fight earlier because his body as already ready to fight even before the first round ends. My experiment can help give boxers tips on how to warm up and get their body to prepare for the fight. 
4. I'll gather at least 22 people. I'll have them sit on a recliner chair. Then I'll hook the subject up to a sphygmomanometer and a heart rate monitor(or something like that) and tell them to relax. I'll record the "relaxed" values on the two monitors. Then I'll apply the initial shock, which is to make them almost fall backwards. Then record the "shocked" values on the monitors.

ESLR Blog

The two ESLRs I think i fulfilled are effective user of technology and life-long learner. I'm an effective user of technology because I beginning to understand how to use Logger Pro to save and organize data and I'm starting to use an EKG with the logger pro to record the movements of the heart. I'm a life-long learner because I've applied techniques I've learned at I-poly, like note taking, presentation skills, and working in groups,  into some of my college classes.
