This will be an assignment for my doctoral health and human performance concentration:
This for my comprehensive exam and involves developing a research proposal that focuses on the effects of aerobic exercise on blood pressure in sedentary adults. The specific prompt and instructions are provided in the files section, along with a rubric explaining expectations for satisfactory work. Use current and relevant research as well as readings drawn from your course of study, with a focus placed on original research from peer-reviewed scientific journals. Provide proper within-text citations and a list of references as a separate page(s) after your response. All content must be formatted according to the 7th edition APA manual. A proficient discussion must include integrative writing, clear inclusion of mechanistic rationale for the findings you present, and the representation of data. At least 10 original intervention-based research studies must be actively reviewed within the body of your narrative to count towards the minimum resource requirement. All resource material must be from scholarly, empirically based, peer-reviewed sources that involve original research studies (not reviews) related to your topic of interest. If you include sources that are review articles, be advised they do not count towards the 10-article minimum. This narrative must offer a scholarly integration of information, not simply a summary, list or annotated bibliography of what has been done. Synthesize common threads in the existing research related to the specified topic. Identify patterns in the literature gaps, and future directions. Integration requires some compare/contrast across studies.
Make sure to be very specific with your research question, hypotheses, participant information, procedures, and statistical analysis. You must provide relevant information that can be supported with current research. Make sure that the study design is new and hasn’t been investigated in the past.
Remember this study has not been done. You are to frame your response as a proposal. Do not make up data or conclusions. Textbooks, blogs, magazine or internet articles, book chapters, or special reports, do not count toward the peer-reviewed minimum. Connections to the peer reviewed references should be used throughout your writing with in-text citations and matching reference citations. For the literature review, make sure to write it as a cohesive, synthesis of themes. This should not be a summary of the articles. Please refer to this link for how to complete this: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/conducting_research/research_overview/synthesizing_sources.html
Please read carefully the questions being asked. Be sure to address them rather than the questions you prefer to address.
·        Rubrics are your best friends; they should guide the organization, structure, content, and quality of this work.
·        Proofread your document to catch typos and errors. You don’t want this paper to appear unprofessional.
·        Cross-reference the entire document – references in the text and the reference list must match.
Please also make sure to address these issues:
Introduction needs to include research themes (IVs, DVs, Purpose/Goals) were critically examined and presented holistically.
Review Support needs to include data support provided for key source support (p value, M± SD or other measures of central tendency/variance) and mechanisms included to explain findings
Introduction gap/purpose needs to include a clear purpose statement aligned with prompt and resources is included and the proposed study needs to be novel (not a previously published study)
Methodology study design must be new and include: A clear study design is defined and the experimental intervention is clear enough to be implemented, clear experimental intervention aligned with the prompt and purpose statement, experimental intervention must be realistic, and experimental intervention has the potential to answer purpose statement
Methodology Hypotheses must be clear and included, there muse be a clear connection between hypotheses statements, research questions, and purpose, and the hypotheses must be correctly formatted and evidence-based.
Methodology participant information must include clearly defined participants, exclusion/inclusion criteria must be addressed and aligned with purpose, RQs, and hypotheses, must include rationale for sample size using evidence support, and subject/group selection/assignment must be supported with clear rationale.
Instrumentation must include instructions and experimental design that are clear enough to be replicated, outcome measures must be clearly defined and explained, manipulated variables must be clearly defined and explained, and subheadings must be used to separate measures.
Procedures must include instruments used, defined, and provide appropriate manufacturer/source; reliability and validity data for all instruments and outcome measures included.
Data and analysis must include proposed statistical analysis that is fully explained and appropriate to analyze the outcome and manipulated variables presented
