KINE 4323 University of Texas at Arlington Kinesiology Paper

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

 Guidelines for the paper in KINE 4323/5323:

? Why? This paper is designed to help you create a link between scientific information and evidence-
based practice in your career.
? What matters in this assignment? Good writing (grammar, spelling), following the structure, and
content/critical thinking of your future profession and the connection with the articles.

STEPS:
? Choose a topic in motor learning or control and/or disease. If disease, it must be about motor
learning and control aspects. Examples: mental imagery for training in stroke, motor skills in
ADHD, action preparation in basketball, etc (there are many possibilities!).

? Find TWO* EXPERIMENTAL articles (> 2016) that have explored aspects of your topic. Please
note that the papers have to have an experiment to be appropriate for this paper. (A review,
systematic review, opinion, proposal, etc are great ways for you to understand more about the
topic and even use it for your Introduction and Discussion, but are NOT good for this paper).

? Outline:
o Cover page
o Introduction 1 page (at least one full page)
o Studies: 2 pages
o Discussion of the implications and applications (applied stuff!): 2 pages
o References (if any)
o Image of the first page of the pdf version for each article

? Use Times New Roman 12, spacing 1,5.
? There is no structured format for citation and references – as long as you are consistent, I am ok
with any format. If you need a suggestion, use APA (it is the easiest and I use it in the template).

Part 1I- Critical thinking and analysis.

Although we will not do any experiments ourselves we will read a research paper which describes many experiments done on the Glycemic index. We will then pretend that we have the important duty of interpreting the results by bringing our knowledge of carbohydrate metabolism to bear in interpreting the information to answer the questions below, and those that I  have sprinkled throughout the article in red.

3. Describe the structure of glycogen paying particular attention to discussing the bonding involved.

4. Where is glycogen stored in the body? In what relative proportions?

5. What is the function of glycogen in the body.

6. How does glycogen metabolism serve to regulate the blood glucose levels and provide a “reservoir” of glucose for strenuous muscle activity?

TEU Public Health Diabetic Management Research Paper

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

To Prepare for this Discussion:

  • Determine possible types of      data you will gather for your research
  • Determine possible sources      of that data (e.g., public databases, published research results, surveys,      interviews, etc.)
  • Determine potential ways to      analyze that data
    • The type of data you obtain       and how you analyze those data is often stipulated by the research method       you chose. If, for       example, you chose a quantitative method, you will use statistics (e.g., MANOVA,       logistical regression, etc.) to analyze your data. The statistics you       use will depend on the type of data (nominal, ordinal, interval, or       ratio) and number of variables in your study. If you chose a       qualitative method, your analysis might consist of coding your       interview responses, organizing descriptive information into a story,       creating concepts, or identifying themes.

Note: The inclusion of possible analytical strategies is optional in your Prospectus Form, but it is an important dissertation consideration currently.

Post a brief description of the research method and approach you selected, along with your research question(s). Explain the type of data you plan to use for your dissertation, and how you plan to collect that data. Describe a type of analysis (t-tests, ANOVA, Chi-square, open coding, concept analysis, etc.) you might use to analyze your data and explain the reason(s) for your selection. Be specific and support your selections with references to the literature.

Research Question(s) and Hypotheses

Research Questions

RQ1 What is the connection between healthcare disparities and diabetes treatment?

RQ2: Is there a relationship between diabetic management and sociodemographic factors?
