Review of Literature Final Project

January 14, 2021

The purpose of this project is to review the “current” literature on a topic of your choice related and relevant to neuro-muscular exercise physiology. The topic does not necessarily need to be related to one of the areas discussed in class or in the textbook; however, your chosen topic must be approved by me prior to embarking on this endeavor. The Baylor library has a very good selection of exercise physiology-related research journals, and the library does subscribe to many relevant online journals for downloading articles. Although, you still may need to use the inter-library loan service. Therefore, it means that you should develop your topic and begin to research it relatively quickly so you can get your inter-library loan requests processed and the articles back to you as soon as possible. The format of the paper will need to follow the guidelines based on either the American Psychological Association (APA) or utilized in the ACSM journal

Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (MSSE). You can find the “Information for Authors in a copy of MSSE or on the ACSM’s web site (www.acsm-msse.org). The review should contain at least 15 primary references (i.e., refereed, scientific journal articles). Secondary references (i.e., textbooks) can also be used but please do not use more than 5. Understand that a literature review is usually presented as a “comparison/contrast” of the results and interpretations concerning your project. We will discuss specific format items in class. In general, the assignment will be typed, double spaced throughout, and pages numbered consecutively on the top, right side of each page. The assignment should be structured with a title page, an abstract, (neither of which count toward the 10-page requirement), an introduction, a body of the review, a summary, and references (also not counting toward the 10-page requirement). As graduate students, you are expected to use correct grammar. You will be penalized for improper grammatical construct such as typographical errors, subject/verb disagreement, comma errors, sentence fragments, etc.
