Blog 5b: Science Fair Proposal


1.       Soccer player injuries in the leg area

 

2.       Driving Problem: Soccer Players getting injured during a game in the leg area with either bone fractures or torn ligaments.

Quote: “In order for athletes to remain in top physical condition, they need to train properly and also know how to manage and treat the various injuries that are bound to occur while playing in highly demanding games and over long seasons that often become year round regimens.”

3.       Hypothesis: If you do not stretch and warm up properly, then you will be more susceptible to injuries in the leg area.

 

4.       I will gather around 12 people in order to participate in my experiment. I will have a control group of 6 and an experimental group of the same number. There will be training sessions in which the control group will do certain exercises for a set time in a certain order while the other group will do the exercises in a random order each time we meet for the same amount of time. I will be recording the data on a table. I will then watch them play actual games and I will use my eyes as a tool and observe what players get injured and try and see how they get injured.
