When performed correctly, Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) i. Can inhibit “adhesions”/”trigger points” within the muscle and connective tissue ii. Has similar benefits as stretching exercises iii. Can produce optimal benefits when combined with stretching exercises

Discuss three different injuries that are common during exercise and a strategy to help prevent (NOT TREAT) this type of injury from occurring. (Your response should include three different injuries and a strategy that is specific to preventing each of these injuries for a total of three different strategies.)

To avoid dehydration while exercising, you should do following ________.

Scenario: You are out for a run, and you are trying to determine how hard this is for you. Discuss two ways that you can monitor your exercise intensity during a cardiorespiratory workout, such as the run you are on today.

Discuss the difference between physical activity and exercise. Provide an example of each.

Pedestrians have the right-of-way in intersections without signals (though they should still look both ways and yield to vehicles neglecting to stop).

Choose one of the following virtues to describe: Gratitude or Trust. Please provide the following information for that virtue: What is the virtue?A description/definition of the virtue. This should involve identifying multiple facets/levels/subtypes when appropriate, and should be taken from one or more articles that we read or discussed in class. Why should we develop this virtue?A description of the consequences of the virtue. This should involve drawing upon class discussions and the articles that we read to identify correlates of the virtue (e.g., “People high in empathy tend to report high/low levels of …”). How can we develop this virtue?A description of the habits and practices that can be used to develop this virtue. This should involve drawing upon both in-class exercises, as well as exercises from the readings to discuss how one can deepen their capacity for this specific virtue. Individual Virtue – WHAT is the virtue? Weight 25.00% 100 % Perfect! You have thoroughly and articulately explained the virtue by drawing upon theory or theories from the readings or from lecture. You have included complete descriptions of concepts or terms that may be confusing, and have provided a thorough overview of the most important elements of the theory. 25.0 pts Individual Virtue – WHY should we develop this virtue? Weight 20.00% 100 % Perfect! Your argument about the “purpose” of this virtue draws upon, not only a solid understanding of the theories and findings you have described, but also a clear understanding of how this virtue explains why people do the things that they do and HOW such outcomes are linked to the virtues. You have organized your argument such that your discussion of the links between the virtue and positive/negative outcomes are well-founded on concepts from research (not merely asserting your opinion), and displays appropriate use of theoretical concepts and terms in an explanation of how the virtue might lead to such ends developed in the way that they have. 20.0 pts Individual Virtue – HOW can we develop this virtue? Weight 15.00% 100 % Nearly perfect! You have identified and have accurately and articulately described at least two or three different interventions for developing this virtue that make sense in the context of this theory. All of these interventions are well-suited to the specific virtue that you are describing, and they are well-tailored to help you/them grow toward a prescribed end. Further, you have used the language of the theory to discuss how (according to your theory) each intervention would specifically address your/others’ areas of growth. 15.0 pts

11. In 2004, a random sample of 46 coyotes in a region of northern Minnesota showed the average age to be 2.05 years with a standard deviation of 0.82 years.  However, it is thought that the overall population mean age of coyotes is 1.75 years.  Test the hypothesis that coyotes in this region of northern Minnesota live longer than the average of 1.75 years.  (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.) (a) Which of the following best represents the hypothesis for Step 1 of the hypothesis test?

2.  About 10% of the human population is left-handed.  Suppose that a researcher speculates that artists are more likely to be left-handed than other people in the general population.  The researcher surveys 150 artists and finds that 23 of them are left-handed.  Based on this sample, is there enough evidence that the population proportion of artists who are left-handed is more than the 10% (or 0.10).  (While answering the following sub-parts of this question, you will be including the null and alternative hypothesis, the test statistic, the p-value (a visualization and an interpretation), your statistical decision, and your conclusion in the context of the problem.) (a) Which of the following best represents the hypothesis for Step 1 of the hypothesis test?
