Critical Research Evaluation 

Locate a scientific, strength and conditioning journal article. The article should ideally have some relationship with a performance outcome as it pertains to athleti s, athletes, or athletic performance. Try to avoid studies that are only biochemical in nature. Human studies as opposed to rats etc, are preferred. I encorage you to look for something in your interest range. Only QUANTITATIVE investigation should be used for this evaluation.

The journal article you find should have a PURPOSE, METHODS, RESULTS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RESULTS. Most of the time, they also have an abstract near the beginning of the paper. If it doesn't have these key components, it is NOT something you can use for this assignment. DO NOT use a review paper that analyzed many other papers, it should be an original study. You can use a review paper to find a paper in which you are interesested. A journal article is a scientific study in which a group of subjects were subjected to a treatment of some drawn. You aren't looking for an article in a fitness magazine, blog, vlog, or website. You are looking for the original study.
