HISTORY OF RUGBY

Rugby is a tough game play by gentleman. Rugby, a type of football game, taking its name from the English public preparatory school. Derived from soccer or association football, rugby in turn was the forerunner of American football. Kicking and dribbling with the foot are a part of rugby. However, continuous passing of the ball is its most characteristic feature. The game enjoys greatest popularity in Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and France.

Rugby developed through an infraction of the rules by a Rugby School boy, William Webb Ellis, during a soccer match in 1823. The ball-carrying play by Ellis spread to a number of other English public schools, and in 1839 student at Cambridge University gave it a trial during an intramural game, which they called "Rugby's game". By the 1860's two distinct types of football had developed- handling and nonhandling. In 1863 supporters of the nonhandling game formed the Football Association ( association football or soccer. In 1871, 21 amateur clubs established the Rugby Football Union and drew up the original laws of the game.

The amateur game is played with 15 men on each team and is called "Rugby Union". The professional game is called "Rugby League", and although it resembles the amateur game in many respects, there are difference in the laws or rules and only 13 players on a team. The object of the game is for each side to attempt to ground the ball beyond their oppenent's line and score the greater number of points within two 40-minute periods of play

ME, MYSELF AND I

Assalamualikum and good evening.

My name is Nik Mohd Fauzan Bin Nik Abdullah.I'm tall person but not a short person. I am twenty years old boy of medium height.I am a cheerful person. I love to smile and laugh. When I come across an interesting thing, sometimes other people may think that it is not funny but I still laugh and laugh without reasons. I was born in Kuala Lumpur in 1991. I don't have any memory living in Kuala Lumpur because I was still baby on that time. My family moved to Kelantan when I was 1 year old.

After the UPSR examination, I've continue my secondary school study at Sekolah Menengah Sains Tengku Abdullah, a boarding school which is situated in Pahang state. I'm active person at that school. I've represented the school in many sport event such as ragbi, badminton, athletes and football.I am also a prefect at my school and the leader of yellow sport house. Maybe because being so active, I don't feel interest in my study. My SPM result was not realy good.

Next, I continue my study at Kolej Matrikulasi Negeri Sembilan. Study here is very tough for me especially in Biology subject. Since my primary school, my Science subject result is not stable. Sometimes good and sometimes not good. Nevertheless, I'm not give up and will give my best for the final exam because I will be satisfied even my result is not good because I have done my best.

Finally, now I've continue my study at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris as a physical educational student. My target when I will be a sport teacher at any school after finished my study, I want to born many quality sport student so the will be the best among the best. InsyaALLAH. Thank you :)

MUSCLES

Today I would like to share about some topic that I've study in Anatomy and Fisiology lecture. It's about muscle. What is the major function of muscles?. Do you know what make some athlete cramp their muscle during their training and performance?. The major function of our muscle is to produce motion. There are three type of vertebrate muscles, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle and cardiac muscles are involuntary muscles whereas skeletal muscle are called voluntary muscles because they are under voluntary control.

Smooth muscle lines the walls of hollow organs such as arteries and veins, the digestive tract, the urinary bladder and the uterus. Each muscle fibre consists of a single, elongated spindle-shaped cell containing one centrally located nucleus. The muscle fibre do not contain visible cross striations. The contractile protein filaments are not arranged in the same pattern as in the skeletal or the cardiac muscle.

Next is the cardiac muscle. Cardiac muscle are the tissues that make up heart. It cells have a single nucleus, many mitochondria and are striated. The muscles cells are connected to one another by intercalated discs. The muscles fibres branch and form bridges with one another to form a network like arrangement. The cardiac muscle bring about the continuous, rhythmic contractions of the heart and pump blood around the body. Do you know that our heart size is about our fist size?.

Lastly is the skeletal muscle. It is normally arranged in antagonistic pairs and mostly attached to bones by tendons. They bring about movement of the skeleton and organs such as the eyeball and the tongue. An individual skeletal muscle contain several bundles of fibres bound by connective tissues. The nuclei peripherally located beneath sacrolemma.

Thats all I can share with you guys for now and I will continue talk about this later on about how athletes gain muscle cramp during their training and performance. Thank you for spending your time read this. I hope you can gain useful information about what I have wrote :)

A Busy Week

The first week I was a little bit busy because of my credit hours are still inadequate. I have to move to find the lectures for their signature. I'm now no longer live in resindential colleges but has rented a house at Taman Sri Indah which is situated near to the campus.

 Actually what makes me realy tired this week is because I still don't have my own transport that could facilitate my journey to college, so I have to go to college by walking and sometimes has to ask my housemate to send me to campus by their motocycle.

 What makes me unhappy is because the university side who is responsible has lock the door of the side of the gateway at northen side which before this become the way student who rent houses in the area of the campus to get into the campus. Now we have to walk a little bit far to the door on the east or the west to go to the campus.

 I was lucky because my parents will send my bike next week, so I will no longer trouble my housmate to send me to college after this again except for emergency. I hope the responsible person will take action about the gate for the good of the students who lives near campus.

Welcome TO MY Blog Post!

I'm so happy that I have already created a new blog in Blogger.com. In this blog, I will share my life as an UPSI student in second years. This is also part of my assignment that has been given from Miss Fairus Bt Ahmad Daud, my English Communication II lecture. Thanks to her for making me an afford to create my own blog.
