A maximum single spaced 2 page summary of
purpose of research
• Be sure to include sufficient detail, described in terms
that do not require extensive field-specific knowledge.
The content has to include:
a) the rationale behind the research via review of
selected literature and a concise statement
regarding the significance/importance of the topic,
b) clear purpose of the study or a research
question, and
c) resulting hypotheses, where applicable.
Introduce the topic…….
In this section you will introduce the topic of interest by specifically
outlining the key constructs and concepts related to your future work, and
providing a background on the topic in a broad way
When introducing constructs make sure to operationalize them explicitly
along with a corresponding reference.
Also, you may introduce the key dependent independent variables, which
may be explicitly stated or implied
provide rationale behind the research via review
of selected literature
Here you will have to report more specifically on what is known about the topic of
interest based on previous literature. Here you will consider literature that is
relevant to your topic of interest….
However, and more importantly you will have to build an argument as to how you
will expand on what was done before, by either testing the issues with different DVs,
or manipulating different IVs, or by examining the issue in a different population.
Thus, you not only reporting on what was done, but also on how your
research will enhance the knowledge base
Your introduction has to be based on at least 10 references related to the topic
of interest.
The references can only be journal articles or textbooks. Website or other
informal sources are not permitted.
The degree to which you report on previous work really depends on what you
are doing and how, thus sometimes you may be just mentioning the studies
and their general results, whereas in other instances you may give a reader
more detailed information about what was done, how and for what reason
At the end of the document you will put forward
your “purpose” which needs to be concise and
include the key constructs, concepts, and DVs
and IVs, where applicable….
• Note that in your purpose you may include all of
the above, or just constructs and concept
Marking scheme
• Title page with a title for your study (note that the title has to include key
concepts / constructs /IVs and DVs…where relevant)
• 2 marks
• Introduction to the topic
• 5 marks
• Rationale behind the research via review of selected literature
• 10 marks
• Concise statement regarding the significance/importance of the topic

* Term Paper Topic:  Use of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs)
IMPORTANT****Please Download the Attachments to Order and Follow Instructions Carefully*******IMPORTANT
Term Paper: Every slice of sports content we read, watch, and listen to can be an opportunity to evaluate
ethics and ethical behavior. By this, I mean that ethical issues are constantly emerging as players, coaches,
sporting companies, organizations and fans make decisions related to sports.3
One of the best ways to gain a grasp of these ethical issues is by actually researching these topics, discussing
them and allowing others to read your thoughts. In this class you’ll be asked to ‘publish’ your own ‘articles’
on sports ethics.
You’ll use your own understanding of ethical systems and moral dilemmas in sports to produce analysis
and criticism concerning happenings within the sports ethics landscape, which are relevant to the content of this
course. Each student will be required to develop a proposal, rough draft, and final draft of their ‘articles’ (due
dates are listed on the week’s ‘notes’ in the course schedule), in which they will identify a
topic germane to the field of sports ethics, take a stance on that ethical dilemma, and persuade their
readers that they, in fact, hold the ‘correct’ position.
I expect a rather thorough analysis and critique of issues and developments relevant to sports, ethics, and
society. A more detailed description of what I’m looking for from your term papers, including a rubric, will
be provided on Canvas. Long story short…this should be an exercise in developing your sense of how
ethics and morality operate in your lives, in sports, and in your future careers, as well as honing your
writing and argumentative skills in the process. Have fun with this project, and let your passion guide your
research.
*****THE TERM PAPER MUST BE FROM THE PROPOSAL WHICH I UPLOADED INTO THE FILES.*****

For this assignment, you are to conduct a thorough exploration of a specific topic related to childhood obesity. This may revolve around a discussed line of research, a policy intervention, a novel evaluation technique, or a comorbidity. Please select from this list of potential topics provided below.
Clinical Severity of Childhood Obesity
Screening of Childhood Obesity New Clinical Guidelines for the Treatment of Childhood Obesity
Strategy/Strategies for Combating Stigma
Intergenerational Transmission of Obesity
Linking Childhood Obesity to T2DM, PCOS, Heart Disease, or another condition
Interventions Addressing Schools Interventions Addressing Home Life

Deep Dive into an Anti-Obesity Pharmaceutical or Surgical Technique
Instructions
Your task is to carry out a comprehensive literature review of your chosen topic and compile your findings into a 20 slide powerpoint presentation.
Your presentation should be organized into the following segments:
What is known? Begin by providing a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge base around your chosen topic. Present the current facts, understandings, and consensus in the field.
Why do we know it? Discuss the supporting evidence and research studies that have led to the current understanding of the topic. Include key studies, researchers, or methodologies that have contributed to this knowledge.
What remains unknown? Identify and discuss gaps in the current understanding or limitations in the existing research. What questions remain unanswered? What areas require further exploration?
How does it change the outlook and/or perception of childhood obesity? Finally, discuss the implications of your findings for the overall understanding, perception, or treatment of childhood obesity. How does this knowledge contribute to our approach to managing, preventing, or understanding childhood obesity?

This research project culminates in the submission of a research paper, presented in APA 7th edition format. Each student must submit their own paper to Canvas (convert from Word to PDF before submitting to preserve your formatting).
Within the paper, there are several sections which are written and graded as a group. These group elements contribute 40% of the assignment grade and are the:
– Abstract
– Method
– Results
The individual sections contribute 60% of the assignment grade and are the:
– Title page
– Introduction
– Discussion – References The group sections are expected to be the same between group members. However, the individual portions are to be written individually and should not be the same between group members. Checklist

Log into this website and go to “Critical Issues of the Body” and find 3-7 articles that are on Canvas and follow directions listed below to complete the essay: 
FINAL ESSAY
First draft due for peer review on 11/29/22, 11:59pm
Final draft by 12/6/22, 11:59pm
100 points
NOTE: Before starting to write anything, make sure you outline your answers to these questions in bullet point form or using a visual word map (it helps to use a big piece of paper or a blackboard here). Then, discuss your ideas with a friend, classmate, family member, or colleague before re-organizing the outline for your paper.
PROMPT
Explanation of Issues
Using your own definitions of the body, mind, spirit, and soul (Unit 1), and using your self-perception of your body at the beginning of the class as a baseline for comparison, critically reflect on how your views on the body changed/stayed the same throughout this course.
This essay should be at least 2000 words, 12 point Times New Roman font, and double-spaced. No late submissions will be accepted.
Statement of Position
Make sure your paper is organized around a clear thesis.
Following are some questions that you should consider in the process of your critical reflection. You do NOT have address every single question listed here, but you should address enough of them to demonstrate not only your comprehension but also mastery of the ideas therein. Sample papers from former students, and which illustrate what I mean by comprehension and mastery, can be found under the appropriate link on Blackboard.
Use of Evidence
What course materials in this class spoke to you most, and why?
Given what you now know, what do you think the body means/symbolizes/signifies in society? In your own community, how do you see the body being used/abused and/or alienated from its “species essence” (Marx), and how can the body be a force for liberation from pain (Scarry) and the pursuit of a quality life (“flow”, Nakamura and Csikszentmihalyi)?
What do you think of the gendering (Fausto-Sterling, Wacquant, Knapp), racializing (Hartmann and Wiggins) and “disabling” (Wolff, Benshoff and Griffin, Rubin and Zupan), of bodies, as well as the future cyborg-ing of bodies? How do you think these different ways of understanding the bodies of others may impact your future professional practice, particularly in terms of the treatment of bodies?
Alternative Viewpoints
Choose at least 3 but no more than 7 course materials to draw on deeply to answer these questions and support your thesis. Next, in a “refuting the potential counterarguments” section of your paper, imagine how at least 2 contrasting theories might have impacted your definitions of body, mind, spirit, and soul and how your views have changed/stayed the same throughout the course. Why didn’t you choose these two contrasting theories? For example, if you chose to draw on Marxism, but didn’t draw on ideas of “flow”, say why/. How would your perspective be different if you had? Be explicit about what you are arguing against, and why.
Note: If you choose fewer sources, I will expect more depth than if you choose more sources. I grade primarily on how your paper coheres – that is, how each part of the paper fits with the other parts of the paper, not necessarily that you answered every question on this list.
Context, Assumptions
What assumptions did you have about the body, mind, spirit, and soul before you enrolled in this course? What assumptions do you make about the body, mind, spirit, and soul now that you have finished it? Now that the class has finished, and you have digested the course materials, how do you “see” the body, mind, spirit and soul, and how does that view compare to when you started the course?
Conclusions, implications and consequences
How did our history of the “normalized body” (Unit 2) impact your understandings and assumptions?
How did our cross-cultural and sociological studies (Unit 3) impact your understandings and assumptions?
How will you view your body, and the bodies of others, going forward? Will you take a more or less scientific perspective of the body, and why?
What does the expression “quality human body movement” mean to you now? What do you think future students in KIN 305 should know about the body, mind, spirit and soul, and what should know about this course?

THIS IS THE “INTERNSHIP” COURSE: Also, complete discussion boards 3-6 and respond to 2 other classmates responses based off of this information of me as a Physical Therapy aide at Vibrantcare Rehabilitation: 
I was a physical therapy aide at Vibrantcare Rehabilitation.
I assisted the physical therapists with healing clients by teaching them exercises to help them recover their conditions, performed electrical stim and placed ice or heat on certain patients, cleaned the clinic, ensured that all the equipment was put back in its rightful place and also did the laundry.
I also multitasked as a receptionist at Vibrantcare Rehabilitation. 
I dealt with the patient’s insurances, authorizations for getting more appointments approved, discharging patients no longer needed physical therapy, arrived patients on the online schedule when they came to their appointment, collected copays, created new patient’s paperwork, scanned the new patient’s photo IDs, insurance cards and new patient paperwork on their first appointment, pulled patients charts for the next day’s appointment schedule, did patients reports, and contacted new patients to recommend physical therapy at our clinic.
