KIN 6025 – Special Topics: Foundations of Coaching and Testing in Sports Performance Interpret the table of test results from women’s basketball players to understand the story the data tells you about the athletes. Utilize this data to develop a concrete strength and conditioning plan of action for both the group as a whole, and individual athletes based on the test results. Evidence-Based Rationale: Justify your selection of specific tests and key performance indicators for your theoretical training program. You can choose to incorporate all the tests or a subset. Data Analysis: Analyze the provided data to draw meaningful conclusions about the groups and individuals’ current athletic abilities. Utilize normative data as a reference point to contextualize your findings.   In simpler terms, your task is to uncover what the data reveals about the athletes’ current status and needs. How will this data guide your theoretical programming decisions? What specific strategies and tactics will you employ to enhance the development of both the group and individual athletes?   Please note that you are not required to create an actual training program based on the data. Instead, the aim is to critically assess the athletes’ testing results and formulate a plan of action to address the identified areas of improvement. Table 1 Continued (Same athlete number corresponds to specific athlete for all tests included in all tables)

KIN 6026 – Sport and Exercise Nutrition for Peak Performance…

KIN 6026 – Sport and Exercise Nutrition for Peak Performance In class, we assessed contrasting dietary approaches – plant-based (PB) and meat-centric (MC) diets. Both approaches have merit, but please state a case for either plant-based or meat-centric as a preferred dietary plan for health or performance. Select a dietary approach to support (PB or MC). Select an outcome to describe (health or performance). Very briefly, one paragraph total, describe the purported benefits of each approach. Provide an evidence-based argument stating how either a PB or MC diet positively impacts health or performance. Select two major arguments (1-2 paragraphs each). Consider and discuss any of the following: Hormonal responses to dietary intake – macronutrient composition, portions, timing. Total carbohydrate intake and type of carbohydrate consumed (starches, sugars, fiber) and the impact on blood glucose and insulin. Energy storage and subsequent relationship to appetite and energy expenditure. Roles of nutrient and caloric density in total energy intake. Protein adequacy and the potential need for supplementation. Dietary fiber and polyphenol intake and impact on gut health and systemic inflammation. Summarize practical recommendations to implement the diet plan you selected. Support your statements.

KIN 6015 – Biomechanical and Neurological Basis of Human Movement An orthopedic surgeon refers an athlete recovering from ACL reconstructive surgery (8 weeks post-op) to the motion analysis laboratory for a 3D gait analysis with EMG. Perform the gait analysis using the following: Select and describe the joint kinematic variables most relevant for this analysis Select and describe the joint kinetics and ground reaction forces (vertical, AP, ML) most relevant for this analysis Select the muscles most relevant for this analysis and describe their activation patterns with surface EMG Include descriptions of what is considered normal kinematic, kinetic, and muscle patterns of walking and how this patient may deviate from them
