Sports Nutrition
For week 1, I find a peer-reviewed research article about a particular study. This week the topic is wide open, but the paper you pick must be related to nutrition and exercise, i.e., sports nutrition. You may not know how to tell a peer-reviewed research article from other types of peer-reviewed scientific articles. This discussion is meant to help you do that.
A peer-reviewed research study has these sections: introduction, methods, results with figures and tables, and a conclusion. The sections may not be labeled with these exact words, but the paper is designed to report the results of a research study.
For this discussion, I want you to post a summary of the article. Be sure to state the specific aims of the study as well as the study design and methods, the results, and conclusions. Then provide at least 3 tips you used to find the article. For example, how did you start that process? Where did you go to find the journal? What keywords did you use? How did you find the specific article? What problems did you encounter along the way and how did you solve those problems?
