Discussion 3 Careers in Kinesiology

Due: Friday, February 20 @ 12:00 PM

Worth: 25 pts

Choose ONE career path related to kinesiology

(examples: Exercise Physiologist, Athletic Trainer, Physical Therapist, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Physical Education Teacher, Health Educator, Sport Manager, etc.).

Discuss:

• The primary responsibilities of this career
• Why this career interests you personally
• One concept, topic, or principle from KINE 1301 that connects to this career
• The education, certification, or training typically required
• Whether this is a career you could realistically see yourself pursuing (and why)

Requirements:

• 150-word initial post
• 150-word peer reply
• Must reference course material (lecture, chapter, discussion, or module content)

• Individual OR Group (up to 3 members)
• Major Option A: Narrated Presentation (PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Canva)
• Major Option B: Written Paper

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This final project is the capstone of KINE 1301. You will apply everything you learned in Chapters 19 to complete a full kinesiological analysis of one human movement.

Your movement may be:

• a sport skill
• an exercise
• a functional daily-life movement
• a rehabilitation or fitness task

Examples:

• Squat
• Throwing motion
• Vertical jump
• Push-up
• Gait cycle
• Overhead press
• Kicking a soccer ball
• Picking up a box
• Climbing stairs
• Lunge
• Tennis swing
• Passing a basketball

Your job is to describe the movement, analyze it anatomically and mechanically, identify errors, and then prescribe corrections just like a practitioner (coach, PT, trainer, biomechanist).

PROJECT FORMATS (Choose One)

OPTION A -Presentations (Individual or Group of Up to 3)

• 2025 slides (not counting title or reference slide)
• Narrated (audio required)
• Submit digital copy to Canvas
• Post to the Final Project Discussion Board
• Title your post with your project movement
• All group members must participate in narration
• OPTIONAL: If hybrid section live presentation March 5 @ 11:00 AM

OPTION B -Written Report (Individual or Group of Up to 3)

• 68 pages (not counting title page/reference page)
• Double-spaced, 12pt font
• Follows same content outline as the presentation
• Submit PDF or Word document

DETAILED PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Below is the full outline your presentation or paper must follow.

Movement Description

• Name of the skill
• Primary purpose
• Simultaneoussequential classification
• Rationale for classification
• Brief overview of what the movement accomplishes

Movement Phases

Break the movement into phases (example: preparation, execution, follow-through).

For each phase include:

• Starting position
• Key motions
• Joints/patterns involved
• Ending position
• Where the next phase begins

Anatomical Analysis (Chart Required)

Create a chart/table including:

JOINT

JOINT MOTION

SEGMENT MOVED

PLANE

AXIS

PRIME MOVER(s)

CONTRACTION TYPE

Use as many rows as needed.

Neuromuscular Components

Facilitatory reflexes

• Identify each reflex involved (ex: stretch reflex)
• Describe how it contributes to the movement

Inhibitory reflexes

• Identify the reflex
• Explain how it limits or modifies movement

Motor unit function

• (Optional but recommended)

Mechanical Analysis

• Forces acting on the body
• Internal forces (muscular)
• External forces (gravity, ground reaction, load, equipment)
• Mechanical purpose of each phase
• Mechanical principles used
• Moment arms, torque, stability, efficiency

Identification of Errors

Choose 3 potential errors someone might make performing the movement.

For each error describe:

• What the error is
• What causes it (anatomical, muscular, mechanical, neural)
• How it affects performance

Prescription for Improvement

For each error, give a correction strategy:

• Cues
• Strengthening
• Flexibility
• Technique corrections
• Motor learning strategies

This mirrors Chapter 1s Describe Evaluate Prescribe model.

Conclusion

Wrap up the importance of the movement, mechanical efficiency, injury prevention, and key takeaways.

DiscussionM6 Transfer of Learning Discussion Based on the instructional materials we have explored this week, and from your own research, which teaching theory (or theories) do you believe would boost transfer of learning? Explain your reasoning and provide examples. What is bilateral transfer, and how does it work? Have you had a chance to work with someone on a bilateral skill? In which instances would you, an athlete, client, patient, or student benefit from the training of a bilateral skill? What is learning how to learn, and how is it important to transfer of learning? Do you think the concept of learning how to learn is more beneficial to performance than learning a specific skill set? Why or why not?

read the article and follow the description step by step please and thanks

After reading the article uploaded, each student needs to submit a 2-3 page summary-critique assignment (Format: 1-inch margins, single space, no line space, 12-point Times New Roman, line numbers restarting each page, and no cover page).

**Do not include any other information (such as the title of the article, the author’s information, course number, your name, and so on). If you include such information, you will get a 2-point deduction.

In the summary part, just summarize what you read and DO NOT include your personal opinions and thoughts.

In the critique part, write relationships between concepts, comparison/contrast of perspectives, discussion of how concepts may apply to the professional field, and the strengths/weaknesses of the article you read. You should include your personal thoughts and suggestions to support strengths and weaknesses in the critique part.

The summary part MUST be at least one full page, and the critique part must also be at least one full page. I will consider both quantity and quality!

*For instance, if you have less than one full page of the summary, you will get a 2-point deduction. If your critique part is less than one full page, you will get an additional 2-point deduction. If you missed any instructions about the format (for example, adding line space), you will get another 2-point deduction. Your grading score for this assignment would be 4 out of 10 points. Therefore, please carefully read and follow the instructions.
