    D.C. v. Heller (2008) case which held that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual’s “right to keep and bear arms” for private use.
    Nixon v. United States (1993) challenged the procedures the Senate used to impeach a federal judge, Walter L. Nixon Jr. The entire Senate did not try the case; instead, a special twelve-member committee heard it and reported to the full body. Nixon argued that this procedure violated Article I of the Constitution, which states, “The Senate shall have the sole power to try all Impeachments.”   
    Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey (1992) the Court’s lead plurality opinion upheld the constitutional right to have an abortion in  Roe v. Wade but lowered the standard for analyzing restrictions of that right, invalidating one regulation but upholding the others.
    Coy v. Iowa (1988) the high court maintained that the right to face-to-face confrontation was the essential intended element of the framer’s Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause.
    McDonald v. Chicago (2010) the Court reasoned that rights that are “fundamental to the Nation’s scheme of ordered liberty” or that are “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition” are appropriately applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
    Wallace v. Jaffree (1985) the Constitutional Founders expected to build the ‘wall of separation’ but the greatest injury of the ‘wall’ notion,” continued Justice Rehnquist, is the mischievous diversion of judges from the actual intentions of the drafters of the Bill of Rights.

  • “Improving Mental Health and Reducing Anxiety through Diet and Exercise: An 8-Week Plan”

    • Introduction
    o Within this section, you should be clear to the assessor about where you are going with your goal. o Explain your current situation – you have already had a crack at doing this in workshop one assessment (but this time, with references)
    o Current exercise – what are you doing? Are you meeting guidelines?
    o Current dietary habits – as above.
    o What are your barriers? This should help link in with the goal, so it flows nicely when we get to the next section. • Choose one goal that you want to achieve over eight weeks.
    • o This can be a performance goal or a goal to reduce a chronic disease/condition.
    o For example – Improving mental health by reducing anxiety levels through changes in diet and exercise. From here, you could state you completed the GAD-7 Anxiety Scale and scored “moderate anxiety” levels and would like to reduce this to “mild anxiety”. o Another example is reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing resting blood pressure through diet and exercise. Potentially stating your current blood pressure would be helpful here. o A performance goal – Improve cardiovascular fitness by reducing 10km time by 15 mins. o Another example is reducing the impact of fatigue during social soccer by increasing cardiovascular fitness. I can’t perform for more than 60 minutes and would like to improve my ability to stay active on the field for 90 minutes. o Strategies (choose 3).
     Can be 2 x diet related, 1 x exercise-related or 2 x exercise-related, 1 x diet-related. Up to you!
     Strategy to improve mental health: Find research to demonstrate what exercise is beneficial for this. Engage in 30 minutes of moderate-intensity training five days per week.
     Then you write a paragraph on the research behind the impact of exercise on anxiety, the type of training, and duration – essentially, any strategy you choose must be backed with scientific research.
    • Diet Plan
    o One-week plan
    o You need to demonstrate you are meeting guidelines.
    o Detail the food consumed for EVERY MEAL & SNACK. o Based on your strategies you will provide extra detail. For example, if one strategy is to ensure you are consuming 2g protein/kg body mass each day, you would need to demonstrate and calculate where this is coming from in each meal.
    o Or, if a strategy was to consume med diet, you could potentially calculate the med-diet score for the week and have that as a summary at the bottom of your table
    • Exercise Plan
    o 8-week plan
    o The key here is to stick to the FITT principle.
    o Again, you must show that your program meets guidelines (australian diet and exercise) as a minimum. o Duration, intensity, type o Progression is also essential. I will explain this in a little more detail when I complete a recording next week
    • Conclusion/justification
    o Bring it all together, summarise the above information.
    o Explain why you choose exercise intensity, duration and type of training. 
