1. Choose a sport and athlete for your assignments (ex: 16-y female gymnast). You will use the same athlete for all of your assignments. If you choose an endurance sport like triathlon, cycling, or running, choose a specific situation (Olympic distance triathlon) or population (Masters level swimming). 2. Find a claim, advertisement, or product marketing material related to your sport. For example, if you chose a sport where the athlete’s figure or weight is important (diving, gymnast, wrestling), you may look for ads that market weight loss supplements.

Include PDF abstracts that either support or refute the claim made in the advertisement. 4) Draw personal conclusion based on the evidence found (If you cannot find articles related to your claim / advertisement, you will need to choose a different claim/advertisement. Submit a paper (Word or PDF) (250-300 words) that includes: – why you chose the sport/athlete – how the claim relates to the sport/athlete – your personal conclusions related to the topic based on the evidence you found………………………
