Every student that is studying Sport and Exercise Science will have to do a project or dissertation which will involve numbers or interviewing for example. It what we do with this information which will help us decide how effective a training program or mental skills technique is The use of research methods is also becoming popular in the fitness industry and helping people achieve their potential. Scenario – The 3rd year student has been impressed with your commitment and carrying out the testing and training programs with him. He would now like you to help him analyse the results and see how effective his dissertation study has been. The sports department would like you to relay this information to the 1st year students in a written format with particular emphasis on the different types of research that can take place and what it would be like to work in a university setting Task 1: In a Poster format you should describe (P4) two ethical and legal procedures associated with research in sport and exercise sciences In order to achieve M2/D2 then you will need to explain (M2)/analyse (D2) the implications of not working ethically and legally when conducting research in the sport and exercise sciences P4, M2,D2Task 2 A) In written format describe (P5) the three main stages of qualitative data analysis in the sport and exercise sciencesData Reduction (coding)Displaying Data (network, radial or cycle diagrams)Drawing Conclusions & Verifying Data (Triangulation)B) For a selected research-based example, justify (M3) the most appropriate research design and techniques for qualitative data collection and data analysis including areas such as:Match analysis (Observation)Sport marketing research (Interview)Drugs in Sport (Focus Groups)(C) Describe (P6) two contrasting quantitative data analysis techniques used in the sport and exercise sciences using an example of Microsoft Excel calculations & print screens:T TestPearson’s Correlation Coefficient (D) For 2 selected research-based examples, justify (M4) the most appropriate research design and techniques (Null, Alternate & Directional Hypotheses) for quantitative data collection and data analysis such as:Pre & Post Test Design: Fitness test result before and after training programmesComparative Design: Relationship between two fitness tests e.g. BMI and Resting heart rate P5, P6,M3,M4P4 describe two ethical andlegal issues associated withresearch in sport and exercisesciencesM2 explain the implications of not working both ethicallyand legally when conductingresearch in the sport andexercise sciencesD2 analyse the implications of not working both ethicallyand legally when conductingresearch in the sport andexercise sciencesP5 describe the three mainstages of qualitative dataanalysis in the sport andexercise sciencesM3 justify, for a selectedresearch-based example, themost appropriate researchdesign and techniques forqualitative data collection anddata analysisP6 describe two contrastingquantitative data analysistechniques used in the sportand exercise sciencesM4 justify, for a selectedresearch-based example, themost appropriate researchdesign and techniques forquantitative data collection and data analysis.TIPS P4 requires a description of two ethical and legal issues associated with research in the sport and exercise sciences.For P5, learners should provide a description of the main stages of qualitative data analysis. For P6, learners will need to describe two contrasting quantitative data analysis techniques; one being a parametric test and the other being a non-parametric test.Grading criterion M1 builds on P2, and requires learners to expand on pass level work by explaining and analysing (D1) the key issues. They should consider here the different types of validity, e.g. internal validity, external validity. Relevant examples should be provided to support their work.Grading criterion M2 requires an explanation and analysis (D2) of the implications of not working ethically and legally when conducting research. In their analysis, learners should consider the implications of not working ethically and legally, and say how they are related and how each one affects research in the sport and exercise sciences. Learners should provide examples where appropriate to support their analysis.Where justification is required, learners will be expected to explain why a particular research design and technique is suitable for a particular practical qualitative (M3) or quantitative (M4) research-based example.Learners will be expected to have identified specific areas or topics within the sport and exercise sciences that they could research using a qualitative perspective and areas they could research using a quantitative perspective.Assessment and Grading Criteria DescriptionWhen you see describe you should try and paint a picture in words to the reader. It is useful to always think that the reader of your script knows nothing and therefore you have to teach the reader the knowledge that you have through your assignment.When you are asked to explain you should describe the point and then give details and reason of why. For example, if you are describing sporting injuries to explain the injury you would provide an example from the world of sport of an athlete who has had the injury and explain the causes of this injury to the player, you may also explain the treatment to the player. When you are asked to analyse you should select the key points that you have been asked to look at and explain each point providing reasons for each point and possible impacts. e.g. if you where analysing the recent success of Chelsea Football Club. You would pick out the key factors behind Chelsea’s success; Money; Manager; Key Players – Frank Lampard, etc. you would then explain the contribution each person has had on the success of the club and what the club could do in the future to continue their reign.
