1.) I need and want to know this:
I need to know the different injuries that swimmer's face from their training. I also need to know how chlorine can affect your skin and hair. I want and need to know how to avoid these injuries, since I swim myself. It would also be interesting to know if there are certain home remedies or herbal ways to heal your dry skin and hair after they have been damaged by chlorine.
2.) What is your essential question?
My essential question is "how can I predict health issues that may affect a competitive swimmer, and how can these be avoided?"
3.) How do you envision using technology to best show case your project?
I would like to use some sort of computer program that I could do a web kind of design on. That way I could state the injury, and then branch off showing how to avoid the injury and how to fix it once it has occurred. I will need to do research to find different kinds of presentation programs, maybe something like Prezzi would work well!
4.) What will you do for your "real inquiry"?
I will most try to find time to ask one of the nurses at the Surgery Center if they know anything about the more common injuries that I research. Maybe if it is something more general and something that may need to be operated on, they could help me with the costs and the procedure and all that kind of stuff. To find out how best to avoid the injury or ways to rehabilitate it, I could also go to my swim coach. When I have had swimmer's ear or shoulder problems, he has always known the best way to heal it fast, he would be a good person to talk to!
I really like how you have combined your sport with your field of interest for your final project. I also think it will be very interesting!
ReplyDeleteI really think you'll have something 'good' here - something that will really help others. You could even do a brochure to distribute to swimming coaches. Or, you could post things on the different schools' websites (with the coaches' permission).
