Kinesiology means ‘the study of movement’. The term is also used by complementary medicine practitioners to describe a form of therapy that uses muscle monitoring (biofeedback) to look at what may be causing ‘imbalances’ in the body and attempts to relieve these imbalances.

Student Exercise:
1. Can separate ever be equal? Does the segregation of girls and women on separate teams from boys and men perpetuate the idea that they are inferior athletes?
2. Would creating teams without regard to gender-for example, having a single, coeducational basketball team at school-do more harm than good? Explain your reasoning.
3. If gender-specific teams are retained, should outstanding female athletes be allowed to join boys’ and men’s teams? Conversely, should unusually small men be allowed to join a female team?
4. Since popular sports such as American football, basketball, and soccer favor the male physique, should new sports be developed that are more gender neutral or even favor the female anatomy and physiology?

So we have a group project for one of my sports classes. I am going to attach a document with the directions, an example, and a copy of the paper we are working on. I am doing the personality and job satisfaction/design. You can find what’s needed for both of those in the directions. Our budget is listed at $189,400. We have around $70k left to spend on my two parts so plan those out accordingly. The directions should be a fine enough guide for what to do. The school our project is on is Penn State University. If you have any questions let me know.

The goal of this assignment is to help you become familiar with categorizing locus of control (Internal versus External), defining if the individual is being influenced by their perceptions of a powerful other, and analyze if there are motivational or external constraints present in each case study.
The format of the assignment will be:
150 to 200 words per case study answer
12 point, times new roman font
APA citation and referencing were appropriate
For this assignment you will label each case study related to locus of control in the following areas:
What locus of control is the client demonstrating (internal or external)?
Are powerful others available to influence behavior positively or negatively?
What internal and external constraints are these clients observing?
Case Study 1Tammy works for the restaurant, Arnaud’s in the French Quarter. She has noticed lately that she has not felt like going into work or serving with her normal lively style. A promotion promised to her was not awarded and she felt like she could do nothing to change that. Although she perceives her work ethic to be stellar, she is often late for her shift, sometimes texts on her phone during her shift, and sometimes has a wrinkled uniform. Her boss has spoken to her about this but she feels like he will lighten up when he gets to know her better. Tammy feels mistreated and hopeless about her prospect of getting a promotion.
Case Study 2Jerry has been working out all summer for his big shot at college swimming. He focuses on his technique in the pool and his times have steadily been going down. Lately, he has noticed his body feeling strong and more ready for the challenge of each workout. His coach has asked that he not overtrain this summer but he is feeling ready to start increasing his mileage in the pool. Mastering each phase of his swim has motivated Jerry to drive to the pool at 5:00 a.m. and begin workouts before all other swimmers are in the pool. His teammates think he is crazy, his significant other encourages his drive, and his parents are concerned that he might hurt himself.
Case Study 3Alice is a mother of 5 children with a heart condition. She often discusses with her friends that she is worried about dying before her children reach college. Her friends are extremely supportive and she has doctor’s visits regularly when she is not shuttling the children. Sometimes she feels like just driving away from everything and sparing the children the agony of her death, which she perceives as inevitable. Currently, she has started dating a younger man, Antonio, and he has stated he would like to meet the children.
