This will be an assignment for my doctoral health and human performance concentration:
There are two sections and you will be working on the 2nd part. Question 2 Research Study (10-13 pages, not including references). I will provide the first part of this assignment in the file section.
In your response to each section, please include the following:
1) Comprehensive exam question at the top of the page [Just state: Question 1 or Question 2 as headings]
2) Your response 3) Reference list
Page numbers are required and should be continuous for the entire document. Do not include your name in the running head. The comprehensive examination must be submitted as a Word document. You may not use previously submitted work for any portion of this exam. Content will be checked for originality.
Background Information and Audience:
Throughout your coursework, you learned about the specific physiology of the cardiovascular system, the neuromuscular system, as well as nutrient/mineral handling and the effect of training and disease on other common physiological systems. You were introduced to the non- pathological (normal) functioning of the physiological systems, effects of training on these systems, and some common clinical conditions that are reflective of abnormal physiology of these systems.
To understand changes from disease or adaptations to training one must first demonstrate understanding of “normal” physiology.
This knowledge will then be used to help formulate and design an original research study proposal (Question 2) within the context of your chosen system and population. Your hypothetical audience will include Physiology Faculty members and representatives of an Institutional Review Board.
For this research study, you will be discussing the impact of resistance training (specifically eccentric-specific resistance training) on the neuromuscular system
Question 2: Research Study (10-13 pages).
Your second task is to design an original research study implementing an exercise or nutrition intervention specifically designed to address the system you chose to discuss in Question 1 (cardiovascular, neuromuscular, skeletal, mineral handling). The target for this research study is the same population you reviewed within Question 1. This intervention study must be evidence-based and specifically address aspects of the physiological system discussed in Question 1. You may use tables and/or figures to help demonstrate your response. This proposed study cannot be a replication study and you must identify the need for the study around gaps in the literature [identified in the Question 2 Introduction]. This design cannot be educational in nature [i.e. education training/workshops, etc].
The following must be addressed, & organized in the same order, in your original research study:
a. Present a brief (2-3 paragraphs) introduction demonstrating the foundation, gaps in the literature, need, and proposed purpose of this research study proposal. Within this introduction, identify the specific Exercise or Nutrition intervention you will be using for your original research study proposal- this intervention must be evidence-based (i.e. you must support your choice with sources/gaps in the literature). You cannot use an educational/curriculum/workshop or seminar “intervention” for this proposal.
b. Outline the Purpose, Research Questions, and Hypotheses
* Clearly identify the Purpose of the proposed research study
* Outline specific research questions and associated hypothesis statements for this
research study proposal. Be specific and clear with what outcome measures you will be measuring to help you answer each research question. An outcome measure is a dependent variable. You will expand on your independent and dependent variables within subsection d. “Methodology”. Your hypotheses are to be directional in nature based on supporting literature.
c. Briefly (1-2 paragraphs) describe a theoretical framework that can be used to successfully apply this specific proposal to your chosen population.
d. Methodology [use sub-headings to organize content]
* Study design
* Participant information [population, target #, how did you select that target #, etc.]
* Outcome Measures
* Procedures
* Compliance
v. Proposed Statistical Analysis
Factors that need to be identified within the Methodology sections: What are the participant characteristics/inclusion/exclusionary criteria? What are the measured and manipulated variables? Specify, step-by-step, the intervention strategies for this research. How long is the intervention? What specific interventions are included? Who will implement the intervention? What is the instrumentation? What evidence is the intervention’s effectiveness based on? What is the reliability and validity for the instruments proposed? How will you determine compliance? How will you determine success of the study? What statistical analysis would be proposed based on your design, manipulated, and outcome measures?
Remember this study has not been done. You are to frame your response as a proposal. Do not make up data or conclusions.
I will provide the first part of this assignment within the next 24 hours.
Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward the peer-reviewed minimum. Connections to the peer reviewed references should be used throughout your writing with in-text citations and matching reference citations.
For your reference, I am a healthy, white 34-year old female from Kentucky. I am extremely active and spend a lot of time working out and eating healthy food. Also, I am a college professor in the Exercise Science department and own an online fitness and nutrition coaching business. My dissertation topic is the effect of daily vs. weekly check-ins for adherence in an online fitness & nutrition coaching program ). Please refer to this link for further explanation regarding my dissertation topic (https://docs.google.com/document/d/15iP494heIzm9H7gTWdo_Gs7Y3QErlDBWicy7Zdl51n0/edit)
I have attached the recommended resources, as well as the rubric, to elaborate on the assignment expectations.
