Title: Body Fat or Fat as a Fuel and Athletic Performance

This week we are discussing body composition, notably losing, maintaining, or gaining.  Many athletes will do all of these during the course of their athletic careers.  What effect does this have on their athletic performance?  Let's explore the scientific literature to find out.

Go to PubMed (Pubmed) and enter "fat fuel athletic performance" or "body fat athletic performance"  either is fine. Pick one peer-reviewed research article from either of these topics and present it in your initial discussion post. Do NOT pick the same article someone else picked. There are many articles available so you will not have a difficult time finding a unique article.

For your initial post, be sure to:

· list your selected article

· provide the reference for your chosen article

· describe the study and the results

· state what the study concluded

· evaluate the article. Do you think the study made appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?

Before you post your initial discussion, you must submit it in the assignment area in a Word file so its originality can be checked by turnitin.com. Points will be deducted if you do not do this. Your score will appear in the same place you submit your file. It can take up to 24 hours for a score to return, but usually, it is less than 30 minutes.

Assignments containing more than 50% unoriginal content may not earn any points.  Posts containing more than 20%-25% but less then 50% will incur a substantial point deduction for unoriginal content. Again, please note that we are concerned about unoriginal sentences and paragraphs, not words here and there, the reference page, or title page.

Before you post your discussion, make sure your originality index (%) is in the range of 20%-25%. If it is greater than this, rewrite your discussion, submit it again in the assignment area and check the %. Keep doing this until your % falls within this range (or less), and then post your discussion. Here are two hints to get your score in the optimal range 1) leave your list of supporting material out of the file you submit for checking (don't forget to add these back when you post your discussion) and 2) use your own words, not quotes.
