E- Poster Design and Presentation Assignment

Assignment Task

Details

Throughout the module and the course of your studies, you will have started to appreciate that there are a myriad of training approaches which have been adopted by athletes and coaches with varying degrees of effectiveness. However, you will have also started to appreciate that there is an awful lot of material and information published both in the press and online from unfounded sources.

The aim of this assignment is for you to source a piece of mass-media material within the domain of training and critically evaluate its content using scientific rationale and knowledge.

You will take TWO key statements from the SAME article and critique them providing conclusions, recommendations and practical applications.

You will be tasked to produce an e-poster in a recognised scientific format and then defend your findings during a 5-minute live viva.

It is vitally important that your physiology centered e-poster & viva, and thus, the topic/theme/content of your assessment, relates to the material/content we have covered in this module and MUST fall within one of the below topics:

• Endurance training & pacing

• High intensity interval training

• Training for strength and power

• Training in the heat

• Cooling strategies

• Training at altitude

• Other:

  • Training for flexibility

  • Pollution & Jetlag

  • Microgravity

In order to be able to defend your approach you will need to have immersed yourself in the literature base and created a physiologically justified rationale for your choices. That means READING and citing peer-reviewed literature.

Questions during the 5-minute live viva will be centered around the PHYSIOLOGY associated with your topic, alongside questions related to the findings of your analysis, application and recommendations.

It is KEY that you understand the physiological responses, adaptations and mechanisms related to your topic and practice communicating this knowledge. 

Questions

• Explain why you selected this article and these 2 statements.
• Physiologically, how can these improvements occur?
• What are the fundamental mechanisms which lead to these changes?
• What sport is this applicable to?
• Why is this exercise so important? What does a critique of the literature help with?
• Can you provide an extended overview of your research that you have read?
• Why have you chosen this layout/structure to disseminate your information?
• Is this information applicable to the general public? Who are your target market?
• Can you elaborate more on a specific research study you have included, read and provide key reasons for using that data?
• Can you explain the physiological reasons/mechanisms which relate to your statements?
• What are the benefits/positives of your e-poster?
• What are the barriers/challenges/limitations of your e-poster?
• How have your critiqued your research?
• What makes a good research article?
• Do your analyses support or refute the claims/statements in your media article?
• What is the application of your findings?
• Why have you used a forest plot/bar graph to display your data?
• What are effect sizes? What are the criteria for small, medium and large? What references have you used to quantify your statistics?
• What is the normative data related to your key variables?
• What physiologically is causing the changes in your outcome measure(s)?
• What has/could lead to variances within your data set? What factors effect the outcome variable in the research studies you read?
• How did you search for applicable/appropriate literature?
