Write a 1,200-word reflective essay that answers the following questions. An outline for how to organize your work is offered below. Avoid generalities in this essay; ground your ideas in concrete examples that resonate with your unique and central point of view. There is no “right answer” to this assignment. What you are being evaluated on is the depth and breadth of your exploration, your offering of this unique and centralized point of view, and how you set yourself up to succeed in your Unit 7 project with this interesting, personalized contrast point.

Prior to taking this course, what did you fundamentally believe about why people are the way they are? Consider nature and nurture aspects, the fluidity vs. stability debate, but don’t be limited by these factors – explore everything you’ve believed to be true about how we become the people we do.
How did your personality theory develop? What influenced it? Consider the effect of cultural factors, family upbringing, your education, etc.
How does that “personal construct” (your own personality theory) manifest in your own life? In other words, looking at your own personality, how does it reflect your beliefs about how people become who they are?
How have you “tested” this theory? What data did you collect? Were there ever any moments that did not fit? In other words, did your own actions or the actions of another person stand out because it contradicted what you knew to be true about the nature and development of personality?
How has your personality theory served you thus far in your life? In what ways have you used it to understand, predict, and control your own behavior or interpersonal interactions you’ve had?
Consider to what extent you are willing/able to add to, change, or shift your views on personality development to include ideas you learn in this course. What challenges might this create for you, if any? Or is it something you are excited to do?
As you look through our syllabus/course calendar or click through each Units’ content, what theories do you think are going to align with your personal personality theory? Which will diverge?

Assessment 1 Brief
Presentation 40%
Presentation – In pairs, you are required to deliver a presentation (10min per student), that describes the structure, function and movement of the musculoskeletal system for a specific movement. The movement will be chosen from one of the studied functional movement screening tests. The data collection must be recorded/photographed as supporting evidence of process

The presentation should include:
Introduction. Introduce yourself as a group, describe the structure and function of the musculoskeletal anatomy to provide context to the later movement test.

Method. Introduce the movement test. How did you set up the test. How was the test performed?

What equipment was used etc.

Findings/Discussion. With reference to your movement test and scores achieved by your participant, provide a detailed description of the musculoskeletal systems interactions to allow movement. This should include joints, movement, contraction types, muscles that are agonist/antagonist etc.

Summary. Provide some key take home messages, summarising the key points.

Assessment Specific Instructions:
The presentation is 10minutes per student (i.e. a group of 2 will deliver for 20minutes). Students will be advised when they reach the final minute and all students will be stopped at the maximum time (calculated as: Number of Students x 10minutes).
Students must submit their presentation by 6pm on Wednesday 9th October 2024. Once submitted, for marking and the deadline has passed students must not edit their slides.

Assessment 2 Brief
Written Report 60%
Working in small groups, learners will conduct a VO2max tests using methods of collection which are commonly used within Sports Science. Learners will then individually interpret a data set, compare their findings against quality published scientific literature and draw conclusions on the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and metabolic systems response.

Students will be graded individually on the content and quality of their written piece and their ability to:

Introduction à (Literature review). Review current literature to provide an understanding of structures and functions (respiratory system, cardiac muscle, blood vessels and blood, cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular) into your report. What was the purpose of your investigation?
Methodology à A scientifically written protocol for the physiological measures taken. (Which tests did you conduct? Number of participants? Who were the participants? How did you prepare participants for the test(s)? How did you conduct the tests / the protocol used? How were results collated and analysed?)
Results à Clearly display and interpret the results of your study using appropriate design (graph / table / chart)
Discussion à Consider your results against current literature to explore and discuss how the systems integrate to respond and perform under exercise stress. Were there any outside factors that could have influenced the results? Are there any considerations / recommendations should you repeat the tests?
Conclusion à Conclude your report, identifying the effects of exercise stress (VO2max) on the data you collected, summarising key physiological responses identified
This written piece is a 2000 word essay (the reference list is exempt from the word count).
Students must take part in the data collection in order to complete this essay and will evidence this within their ‘process of work’, which is submitted within an appendix.
All students are required to submit their essay as a word document by 6pm on Friday 1st November 2024 for marking.
