1.) Topic Selection:
Each student will choose a specific nutrition trend from the provided list or propose their own, ensuring it is relevant in 2023.
Possible trends include plant-based diets, functional foods, personalized nutrition, gut health, mindful eating, or any other emerging trend.
2.) Research: conduct research on the chosen nutrition trend. Utilize reputable sources such as scientific journals, articles, and expert opinions.
Consider the chosen trend’s history, benefits, potential drawbacks, and real-world implications. Identify any controversies or conflicting opinions surrounding the trend
3.) Reflection Paper:
each student will submit a reflection paper. Reflect on the nutrition trend you presented, addressing how it may influence your dietary choices and lifestyle. Make sure to include your reference page with sources and cite any information you used!

Weeks 5 the student will select three (3) articles from the weekly reading list. Each student will take the three (3) articles and write a critical analysis paper that should be a 3 minimum pages, not including title page. The paper should be written in APA format, 12-point font (Times New Roman or Calibri), and double-spaces. Points will be taken off if these items are not closely adhered. Each analysis must integrate the information provided in the readings. Examples will be given as well as what a critical analysis is.
Each analysis must have the following components:
Introduction – identifies, explain, and summarizes the main points of each of the three articles. Body Paragraph – should synthesize the main points by comparing and analyzing the particular components of each of the selected articles. For instance, in an analysis would provide specific examples of similarities and/or differences the author(s) discuss in the respective article. Conclusion– the main purpose of the conclusion should be to emphasize your assessment of the major points of the article and generate perceptions regarding the future direction the issue may take given the current state of the industry.

Step 2 (concurrent with Step 1) – Collect video examples of practice activities to develop a specific sport skill
Choose a specific skill that you are interested in exploring for this project. It could be single-leg takedowns in wrestling, serving in tennis, the front crawl stroke in swimming, block starts in sprinting, the jump shot in basketball.
Choose a skill that can be practiced in some degree of isolation or with its own focus during a practice. For instance, if you’re a basketball coach, you would want to focus on a more individualized and isolated skill like jump shots rather than a team/tactical aspect like running a zone defense. For the purposes of this project, it is more manageable this way.
Start collecting examples of the methods that coaches typically use to develop this skill. You can include the methods that you use, and you could include methods that other coaches use commonly in the sport. Find video examples of each method. This can be video you create yourself during one of your practices; it can also be “found” video from websites and video sites for coaches in your sport (just be sure to give attribution for where you found the video).
Ideally you will collect between 4-7 different options for developing this skill. For each video, classify the type of skill development method being used using the following criteria:
Implied theory of skill acquisition. Keep in mind that this may not be very clear. The person producing the video might not even be aware that there are theories of skill acquisition. Nonetheless, they have some implicit ideas or assumptions about how skill is acquired.
Types of instruction being used: explicit instruction, questioning, analogy-based instruction, or does it use almost no instruction and is instead guided by differential learning, implicit learning (game-based instruction), constraints-led approaches?.
Step 3 – Produce video
Choose three different videos for developing the skill from your list. These should be the three most-divergent examples, showing us a range of options to develop the skill based on the different constraints you might be presented with by different athletes or different game situations.
Produce a video where you give us a brief 1-minute introduction to the skill and where it fits in the sport you coach (or currently play). This will help me understand the skill and where it fits in the game. Then, present each of your three skill development options and with a voiceover, explain to us what is happening in the video. Explain the implied theory of skill acquisition and the specific sport pedagogies being employed. Each snippet should be no more than 1 minute. (I will do the voiceover and introduction myself.)

PICK ONE!!! of these to discuss:
Plant-Powered Revolution: Plant-based diets have been gaining traction, not just among vegans and vegetarians but also among those seeking a more sustainable and health-conscious lifestyle. Discuss the rise of plant-based eating patterns, the potential benefits, and any challenges associated with adopting this trend.
Mindful Eating and Intuitive Nutrition: In a fast-paced world, the concept of mindful eating is gaining attention. Explore how being present during meals, listening to hunger cues, and practicing intuitive nutrition can positively impact overall health. Share your thoughts on whether you find these principles realistic and applicable in your own life.
Gut Health Renaissance: The significance of gut health in overall well-being is gaining recognition. Fermented foods, probiotics, and prebiotics are taking center stage. Discuss the role of gut health in maintaining a healthy body and mind, and share your experiences or knowledge about incorporating gut-friendly foods into your diet.

What are your thoughts on the importance of a code of conduct for health professionals in ensuring ethical and responsible behavior? How do you believe adherence to such codes contributes to the overall trustworthiness and effectiveness of healthcare services?

This assignment aims to deepen your understanding of the ethical responsibilities of health educators and enhance your ability to apply ethical principles in real-world scenarios.
Case Study Analysis: Find a current, real, or hypothetical case study that involves a health education scenario. Please look at the case study considering the ethical principles of the code of conduct. Think about how the health educator in the case could navigate ethical dilemmas.

Facility Management class. I need to do a project on an Excel document about 3 different professional sports franchises. More specifically, need to research information about the facilities where they ONLY competed over the years (all of the facilities, not the ones where they just practice). No need for any knowledge about how to work on an Excel document (it is only to fill out the information you have found on the facilities). I attached a document with more specific instructions and the teams I need to research. Also, attached an example of how it is supposed to look like and added my 3 professional franchises. They all are supposed to be separate on different pages like. For example, if you find information about Phoenix Suns everything you find goes on the page on the bottom where you can find “Phoenix Suns”.
Additionally, you need to attach a Word document with references in APA style. The professor suggested using newspapers.com (https://www.newspapers.com/) to complete this project.
