Exploratory Correlative Study

The first study to be considered is a qualitative study which spanned a 25 year period and looked at 131

In the study, the between-groups design and the cross-sectional design were used for research. There were 243 participants between the ages of 18 and 39, and the majority were females and Caucasians. The average age was about 21 years old.

Within the study, the demographics of the participants were made available, including gender, age, race and ethnicity, marital status, and educational and employment status. Special consideration and statistical analysis was conducted for those in the High

3. Sample Population: Who exactly was used in the study? How many? (Be as specific as possible.)

The field of exercise science is facilitating and understanding of links between fitness exercise, diet and health. There have been many studies that show how exercise and the human body interact. My main interest is being a physical therapy and showing how exercise can help the human body when used effectively. If you over exert yourself, it can cause your immune system not to function correctly. In this exploratory essay a comparison of a journal article and news article to find out that intense exercise can cause the immune system not to recover after exercise.

___IV. Practical Aspects - This book tells who the test is intended for and its standardized representative sample

Results: The study evaluated 22,599 samples representing 503,374,648 weighted individuals nationally from 2005-2008. Average age was 49 years, female 57%, Caucasian 83%, and the greatest percentage were from the South region of United States of America (36.8%).

The people in the studies must also be randomly assigned a "treatment" or a "placebo" (Kishita & Laidlaw, 2017, p.126) After these criteria were applied, the number of studies decreased to "15" (Kishita & Laidlaw, 2017, p.127). Information on "participants' age range and mean age, the type of treatment condition, the type of control condition, format of the therapy, the number of sessions, the primary outcome measure,the type of analyses, and means,standard deviations, and sample size for the primary outcome measure in each condition" was recorded for each study (Kishita & Laidlaw, 2017, p.127)

At first, it would be easy to assume that it was a cross-sectional research because the article said that it was over a 48-hour period. After reading more into the article, I believe that they used the longitudinal research design. To begin, a longitudinal study is where someone takes a group of people of the same age range and studies them over the course of several years or more. All the children tested were initially monitored prenatally and later on in life at age five, before they started school. For it to have been considered a cross-sectional study, the researchers would have used a variety of people from all different age ranges in a much shorter timeframe of a few weeks or months.

As an undergraduate, I initially majored in exploratory studies so that I could better assess my skills and interests to see which major would be best fit for me. It did not take long for me to decide on a major of movement and sports science because of the focus on the biomechanics of the human body. I did not know that I wanted to become a physician assistant right away. Initially I thought about becoming a physical therapist or personal trainer, since I was interested in exercise. However, it didn’t take long for me to realize that my interests were more widespread than that. I was interested in the diagnostic aspect of medicine, so I knew that I did not want to become a nurse. Of course, I considered medical school but found that the PA

A total of 4219 studies were identified. After removal of duplicates and after exclusion criteria were applied, there were 13 studies to be included. All 13 were case series with controls.

This study is quantitative because it looks at a large group of people based on scale based on observed indicators. It is also observational because, as I previously stated the scale is based on observed indicators, and looks at independent and dependent variables. Lastly, this study is also longitudinal because, it repeatedly observed the independent variables over time.

129 adults participated in this study. There were 64 young adults ages 18-24 and 65 older adults ages 61-89.

The study is Prospective cohort study that all the consecutive subjects meet inclusion criteria. The study is designed to collect both safety and effectiveness information.

The objective of this chapter is to describe the procedures used in the analysis of the data and present the main findings. It also presents the different tests performed to help choose the appropriate model for the study. The chapter concludes by providing thorough statistical interpretation of the findings.
