Missing Material
Before the Sources and their Summaries, JReggie, I need a “fleshed-out” explanation of your one-sentence Hypothesis. What do you propose to demonstrate or prove, what sources will be most helpful to you, how well has the material you’ve gathered so far provided you what you’ll need?
Find additional Notes in a Feedback Reply below that might help you answer that question, JR.
One sentence hypothesis:
I propose to demonstrate that exercise and physical activity is good for your health and physical fitness.
1.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9780323625395000151
Background: This is a chapter of a book by authors David Hryvniak, Robert P. Wilder, Jeffrey Jenkins, Siobhan M. Statuta named “Braddom’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Sixth Edition)” discusses how physical activity and cardiovascular fitness are two known factors for long-term health and longevity. Everyday activity is most important for health and well-being. Also discusses how exercise must be carefully prescribed based on prior fitness levels and past medical history. The chapter in this book gives a brief overview of exercise physiology.
How I plan to use it: I plan to use this article to discover how physical activity and cardiovascular fitness can benefit your health in the long run. I will use this to see how prior fitness levels and health conditions affect the way one exercises. To learn more exercise physiology and what it could provide.
Background: This is a chapter of a book by authors David Hryvniak, Robert P. Wilder, Jeffrey Jenkins, Siobhan M. Statuta named “Braddom’s Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Sixth Edition)” discusses that high intense aerobic training is recommended for fat reduction in the abdominal region. Also, it states that aerobic training is widely recommended for obesity management. Anaerobic high-intensity intermittent training produces greater abdominal fat reduction than continuous aerobic training at similar amounts of energy expenditure.
How I plan to use it: I’ll use it by gathering information on how and why aerobic exercise targets abdominal fat tissue more efficiently than other exercises. How lack of oxygen in exercising burns more fatty tissue.
3. More Foot, Less Fork: Unraveling the What, Why, and How of Increasing Physical Activity in Patients
Background: This article discusses how poor dieting and inactivity can cause life altering diseases such as heart disease, obesity, depression etc. Nutrition and health professionals can play an important role in physical activity by giving their clients with counseling and plans to help them.
How I plan to use it: I plan to use this article by discovering physical activity and nutrition can help benefit people that are willing to exercise that are struggling with health problems.
4. High intensity interval training for maximizing health outcomes
Background: Discusses that there is solid evidence on how exercise can help prevent at least 25 medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, colon and breast cancer etc. “higher exercise intensities may be superior to moderate intensity for maximizing health outcomes. The primary objective of this review is to discuss how aerobic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) as compared to moderate continuous training may maximize outcomes, and to provide practical advices for successful clinical and home-based HIIT.”
How I plan to use it: To see how HIIT maximizes the best health outcomes when it comes to physical activity. How it can prevent disease in anyone that decides to take part in it.
Background: How monitoring your body can help with weight loss. It can help boost confidence in yourself with progress being made by your activity. It mainly discusses weight loss for men and what exercising could do for men.
How I plan to use it: I plan to use it by seeing how monitoring your body could help with confidence and also, I am a man myself, so I attend on learning more information about it for personal use.
Counterintuitive Fall 2024 
JReggie, this is WAAAAYYYYY too broad to be a Hypothesis for a 3000-word argument. In addition to its overly-broad scope, it’s also COMPLETELY INTUITIVE.
Nobody is going to argue that the way to health is “More Fork, Less Foot.” If you COULD argue that, and make a case, I’d be happy to green-light your proposal just to see your cards.
You haven’t even narrowed your research to a single CATEGORY of health pursuit. Your five sources cover SO MUCH ground that entire books could be devoted to most of your claims.
1. Physical activity and cardiovascular fitness lead to long healthy lives.
2. Intensive aerobic training is recommended to reduce belly fat.
3. Poor diet and inactivity cause heart disease, obesity, and depression.
4. High intensity interval training prevents 25 medical conditions.
5. Mobile health assisted self-monitoring supports weight loss.
I don’t doubt any of the above, and probably would not feel compelled to read them because their claims seem pretty obvious.
1 and 3 are closely related.
2 and 4 are closely related.
5 doesn’t have a companion, but it might have the most to offer as a topic for a hypothesis.
It’s clear that exercise and healthy diet support long healthy lives (1, 3). It’s interesting that certain types of exercise might contribute to health in different ways (2, 4).
But the claim that SELF-monitoring can contribute to a healthy regimen is NOT obvious. Several popular weight-loss programs depend on public “weigh-ins” as a way let OTHERS monitor results. Presumably, your Source 5 has data to share about rural men who monitored THEMSELVES. I’m not clear on whether they track their steps, their heart rates, their calorie intake, or just their own weight and size, but it’s just different enough from the other generalized sources to seem intriguing.
Are you willing to focus on “Self-Monitored Exercise Regimens are better than Un-monitored regimens for reducing weight and increasing stamina, heart health and overall fitness,” or something like that?
