=Week 2 Narrative= Over the weekend I edited the Blood Cooler Storyboard page. It took me a hours to update the page with more correct knowledge, previous experiences and sample workouts for 4 different sports.

I did not get to film the Blood Cooler in action during one of my own workouts as planned because I showed up to the athletic center only to find that the weight room as well as the track had been closed for the spring breaks. My next steps will be to records some footage this week an record how the Blood Cooler will affect:


 * Weight room performance
 * Sprint Performance
 * Hammer throw distances
 * Shot put throw distances
 * Discus throw distances
 * Javelin throw distances

I will have to come back a different day to make 6 separate videos for each event.

As an aside I have also came up with new names for the blood cooler to be voted on in the next class. They are:


 * Temp Changer
 * Game Changer
 * Refresh
 * Instant Refresh
 * The Go Long

I have also spent some time writing a new workout for the weight room that can be easily measured. As my sport requires absolute strength and power, my training is geared more towards heavy and explosive lifting without many reps. The new workou I have written for the project video is more cardio based and is completed for time which makes the changes after the blood cooler more apparent.


 * 10/10/40 .. I see one edit on the story board page ... lots of detailed work ... last three sections of the storyboard need to describe screens or the video ... not just what is said on the video --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 16:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

=Week 3 Narrative= Over the weekend added more details to the storyboard describing in detail the plans for the video.

I also created the youtube channel HERE to hold the demonstration videos coming this week for the blood cooler.

Lastly I updated a few slides from our presentation to be uploaded to the team page HERE.


 * 10/10/10 ... what is next? --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:56, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

=Week 4 Narrative= This weekend I spent my time learning to use the labquest and creating a demonstration video for the blood cooler which is uploadedHERE.

I found that the labquest takes between 27 and 30 seconds to record a persons temperature and based my experiment off of that.

In the video,I recorded my partner Nick preforming Hang power snatches, an incredibly demanding full boy exercise which is not typically done for higher reps. The goal was to take his starting body temperature, time him during his first set, record his temperature again, have him rest 5 minutes while using the blood cooler, and then record/time him again

Here are my results:

-Starting Temperature: 37.7 C -1st set time: 39.2 seconds -Ending temperature: 29.2 C -Temperature after Blood cooler: 33.5 -2nd Set time: 33.2 seconds

I found that our Blood Cooler reduced his need for rest and increased his work capacity. After using the blood cooler, his time per set dropped by 6 seconds...which is a huge drop.

The problem I soon became aware of was the temperature. The Labquest records temperature through the hand via squeezing the sensor. I did not take into account that his hand would be colder than the rest of his body because of the colder temperature of the barbell he held onto. I will need to find a better method of recording temperatures for a better test.

One other problem I was forced to work around wer my Q balloons. One of the 2 remaining popped during the presentation on projects day and today while recording I noticed that the last balloon had a pin hole in it and was leaking. Because of this, Nick was not able to experience the full results of the blood cooler because he did not have a strong enough seal to allow the pressure to pass 5. I was lucky because his forearms were naturally big enough to fit the blood cooler`s reducer.


 * The objective is to show recovery time between sets decreases .. not that the reps are completed quicker .. I don't see a story board for this ... so there is no foundation for a conversation about the goal of this video ... good video demo of the unit working ... why take the temp of the hand versus .. where on the body did you take the temperature? otherwise is a long narrative ... 10/10/20 ... --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 13:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

'Mr. Forester, the objective was to show the cooling of the body and a increased work capacity as a result of that. And that exactly what this video did. On most occasions, someone wouldn't go above 1-3 reps in this due to exhaustion. And the BC allowing him to do that 2nd set of 10 with better form and more quickness is a prime example of increased work capacity.'
