SCORE

Organization A specific introduction and

conclusion, sequenced exercise

physiology material within the

body, and transitions are clearly and

consistently observable and are

skillful and make the content of the

presentation cohesive.

A specific introduction and

conclusion, sequenced exercise

physiology material within the

body, and transitions are clearly and

frequently observable and are

clearly and often observable within

the presentation.

A specific introduction and

conclusion, sequenced exercise

physiology material within the

body, and transitions are

intermittently observable within the

presentation.

A specific introduction and

conclusion, sequenced exercise

physiology material within the

body, and transitions are not

observable within the

presentation.

Language Language choices are imaginative,

memorable, and compelling, and

enhance the effectiveness of the

presentation. Exercise physiology

language is most appropriate to

audience.

Language choices are thoughtful

and generally support the

effectiveness of the presentation.

Exercise physiology language is

relevant to audience.

Language choices are mundane and

commonplace and partially support

the effectiveness of the

presentation. Exercise physiology

language is limited but

understandable to audience.

Language choices are unclear

and do not support the

effectiveness of the presentation.

Exercise physiology language is

inappropriate for audience.

Delivery

Delivery techniques (posture,

gesture, eye contact, and vocal

expressiveness) make the

presentation compelling. The

speaker appears polished and

confident.

Delivery techniques (posture,

gesture, eye contact, and vocal

expressiveness) make the

presentation interesting. The

speaker appears comfortable.

Delivery techniques (posture,

gesture, eye contact, and vocal

expressiveness) make the

presentation understandable. The

speaker appears tentative.

Delivery techniques (posture,

gesture, eye contact, and vocal

expressiveness) detract from the

understandability of the

presentation. The speaker

appears uncertain.

Supporting

Material

Vivid and varied types of

supporting exercise physiology

materials make appropriate

reference to information or analysis

that significantly supports the

presentation or establishes the

presenter's credibility/authority on

the topic.

Supporting exercise physiology

materials make appropriate

reference to information or analysis

that generally supports the

presentation or establishes the

presenter's credibility/authority on

the topic.

Supporting exercise physiology

materials make appropriate

reference to information or analysis

that partially supports the

presentation or establishes the

presenter's credibility/authority on

the topic.

Insufficient exercise physiology

supporting materials which

make reference to information

or analysis that does not support

the presentation or establishes

the presenter's

credibility/authority on the

topic.

Central Message Central message is compelling,

precisely stated, appropriately

repeated, memorable, and strongly

supported.

Central message is clear and

consistent with the supporting

material.

Central message is basically

understandable but is not often

repeated, and not memorable.

Central message can be

deduced, but is not explicitly

stated in the presentation.
