For this assessment you are required
to write a three page* essay on
the physiological measures 1) ventilatory threshold (VT) & 2) maximal
aerobic oxygen consumption (VO2MAX). This essay will be structured
around the content and activities you covered in the practical laboratories in
weeks 7 & 9. In your essay, you must demonstrate; a deep understanding of
the physiological mechanisms that underlie ventilatory threshold & VO2MAX,
an ability to use data collected during breath-by-breath treadmill maximal
exertion graded exercise tests to determine a subjects VT & VO2MAX,
and an understanding of how this information can be useful to coaches and
athletes. To complete this assessment, you must work with the Excel data set provided
to you on Canvas (see file ‘Lab Essay data set’ under Assessments). This
simulated dataset comes from a breath-by-breath treadmill maximal exertion
graded exercise test. In order to make comparisons to norms (which is part of
how you will demonstrate your understanding of how VT & VO2MAX
can be useful to coaches and athletes), pretend the test was done on
yourself and use your own demographics for comparisons to norms and the
literature (i.e., use your own height, weight, age, training status etc. as the
subject information).

Students will create a Wikipedia entry for the selected topic. Each entry must include (A) an introductory overview, (B) three subsections, (C) one legacy section, and (D) references. The minimum word-count for each entry is 1000 words. The photographs should be used to enhance the sections. Provide all relevant citations.
Opening Overview
This section introduces the topic. It should succinctly summarize all major points and milestones.
Subsections
Each entry must include three subsections. The subsections should cover the important information relevant to the topic.

References
Each entry must include at least five references (including ones from each source gallery and the photo gallery). Sources may be footnoted in Wikipedia format or hyperlinked in text.Links to an external site.

The topic is who has it harder in the pro sports industry
The claim is that women have to work much harder than men in order to succeed, therefore, they have it harder
The reasons are:
-unfair pay
-They are held to a higher standard
-only judged insex appeal
After the three bodywork options to be a counterclaim paragraph
They each sound of the conclusion paragraph that said something About how it boils down to sexism and how Women are viewed less, because they aren’t respected in the industry

Each author summarizes them with “keys” to coaching, rules of coaching, Pearls of Wisdom and short bullet points. Here are six “Observations” that I’ve developed over the years.
Rules/Pearls of Wisdom
Referees are out to ruin your day… Deal with it!
Get your bench players into the game early. Don’t wait until late in the game when the outcome is on the line and the tendency will be to not play them.
It’s not about the coach; it’s about the players.
Keep post-game comments to a minimum. Nothing beneficial comes from long monologues. No one is really listening anyway and everyone wants to get home.
Play, referee, and coach games that have a clock. You want to have a life and be able to plan around your sport.
Parents care a lot more about winning than their child does. Parents have gone from being “Helicopters” to being “Velcro.”
Always take the wind in the first half of a game. If you wait until the 2nd half…the wind always disappears.
The bus picking your team up is always late after a loss, especially if it is raining.
The weakest players has the most obnoxious parents.
Finding a great “team mom or team dad” is almost as important as having a great assistant.
Develop your own 10 “Rules/Pearls of Wisdom”. First, list these out and then explain and clarify each in a brief paragraph or two each. Have fun with these!!! This is NOT your Philosophy but rather observations and hints to help you coach better. This assignment should be at least two pages in length and include at least one reference from either the text or an outside library source that supports your “Rules/Pearls of Wisdom”.

Perform the following data analysis using MS Excel using the data provided. Your submission document should be a single Excel file. 
Please use the data attached in files below and create a plot graph and follow instructions below 
Quantify the correlation using the the Rank-Difference Correlation method.
Interpret the correlation using the descriptors provided in the lab handout. Write in a complete sentence
Create a plot in MS Excel of leg strength (y-axis) vs. body weight (x-axis) using the data provided (see link below). Use a scatter plot and make sure to label your axes.
Add a “Trendline” (linear).

Metabolic equations lab activity uses the screenshot to answer questions
Biodex_isokinetic lab form uses everything named biodex to help
Muscle fiber type and concentric  vs eccentric both need a summary written
only do ch. 7 review questions in the textbook

The NCAA has made various reform efforts in recent years. For example, the following article,
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnists/2022/01/13/college-football-playoff-system-needs-reform-help-student-athletes/9158192002/
, addresses the need of reforming the College Football Playoff with regard to its revenue distributions.
In your opinion, what kinds of reform (change) effort would bring most (desirable) impact in the collegiate athletics? Why do you think that?
