Read the article How to construct, conduct and analyze an exercise training study (pages 1-7, up to Exercise Training Interventions) and answer the following questions: 1. What are three different methods for allocating subjects into a research study? Describe what each of those methods entails. - Random Allocation: This is when the researchers randomly select participants for 2 different groups, controlled and treatment. With this method, there is no regard for the participants' or researchers' conditions and preferences. - Group Allocation: This is when participants are not chosen at random and are instead minimized. The researchers choose and decided which participants will receive the treatment in the experiement. This is a bias study, but it has some benefits of minimizing any imbalances and a smaller group makes it easier to be closely monitored. - Stratification Allocation: This is when the researchers will place participants with a certain or particular characteristic to balance the study. These characteristics gender, age, medical condition, etc. 2. Describe what a randomized cross-over trial is and why it may be used. - A randomized cross-over trial is when all participants receive an intervention in a randomized order. This may be used to help reduce bias and help examine a cause-and-effect relationship between the intervention and the outcome of the trial. 3. What elements need to be considered when designing your research study? - The elements that are needed to be considered when designing a research study are; The reliability of the study, Generalization, Neutrality, Validity of measurement of the analysis, The hypothesis, The independent and dependent variables, The timeline, and The purpose of the research study. Read the article Page (2012) Research Design in Sports Therapy.pdf and answer the following questions: 1. What are 3 things about experimental design that you learned from this article that could help you with designing your own research study? Explain how this information can help you. - Cause-and-Effect: This is where you manipulate the independent variable in a controlled environment. This can help with our study and research because we can control and monitor a variable that could be affecting the dependant variable. - Repeated Measures: This is where any measurement is repeated on a group of participants in the study. This can help with our study and research because there can be measurements and exercises repeated after a certain time frame to evaluate the differences. - Statistical Anaylsis: This is where something (piece of equipment) that is heavily relied on to collect data and look at patterns and trends between two groups. This can help our study and research to gather appropriate data to show a pattern of results.

2. What are 2 non-experimental designs that you learned about that you think you could potentially use for your own research study? Why? - Surveys: This is where participants answer a series of questions in open-ended or closed-ended question to get an appropriate sample of what a certain population has interest in. This could be helpful to our study and research because it gives personal feed back on how the participant is feeling overall suring it. - Observational: This is where it evaluates certain behaviors in a specific group of participants. This could be facial expressions, body language, interactions, etc. This could be helpful to our study and research because there might be different changes in behavior once started and to make sure that person is in good health (not in pain) during the study.
