The additional nourishment that people are obtaining is not quite clear among everyone. People are taking these add-ons, not knowing what benefit it has, or if it even has one. Also, individuals are taking these additional supplements when they are not needing them. It is seen that men and/or athletes are more likely to consume the add-ons to increase physical stability (Goston and Toulson Davisson Correia, 2010). 5) In your own words
, briefly summarize
the Conclusion of the study in the scientific article. (2 pts) It is concluded that most individuals who work out at facilities/gyms consume additional nourishment without any information on whether to consume it, or if it really has a positive effect. However, these individuals take the add-ons to consume better nutrition without eating certain foods. As a result, it is a major key to take any information or help before consuming these additional nourishments (Goston and Toulson Davisson Correia, 2010). Refer back to the reference page at the end of the Goston, et al. paper, notice the number of references that were used. You can imagine how much total information would be contained in all those articles, just the sheer number of pages alone is quite substantial. Now, notice the
overall length of the article you read, it takes some skill and well executed planning and thought to incorporate all those references into that limited space.
This next exercise demonstrates how other sources are used in scientific writing. When writing scientific articles, it is important to provide context for your readers of how your work fits into the larger knowledge base of the topic. This is done by assimilating information from other scientific articles to support your claims, hence, citations. Read the next article Saidi, et al. posted in eLC.
6)
Refer to reference #14 of the Saidi article, that should be a familiar name. Now, locate the sentence(s) of the Saidi article, that use that reference and write the sentence(s) here (the exact sentence(s), not paraphrased): (1/2 pt)
“PCS are sold in gyms, drugstores or via the internet without advice from a nutritionist or physician.”
“The use of supplements most often results from suggestions in magazines, on websites, or through conversations with other people attending gyms.”
