Plagiarism and Collusion

Plagiarism and collusion are forms of cheating and not acceptable in any form of a student’s work, including this ECA. You are in effect taking work done by others or work done together with others and passing it off as your own. You can avoid plagiarism by giving appropriate references when you use some other people’s ideas, words or pictures (including diagrams). Refer to the APA Manual if you need reminding about quoting and referencing. You can avoid collusion by ensuring that your submission is based on your own individual effort.

The electronic submission of your ECA will be screened by a plagiarism detecting software. For more information about plagiarism and cheating, you should referto the Student Handbook (Section 7.3.2). You are reminded that SUSS takes a tough stance against plagiarism or collusion. Serious cases will normally result in the student being referred to SUSS’s Student Disciplinary Group. For other cases, significant marking penalties or expulsion from the
course will be imposed.

Important:

a) The use of generative artificial intelligence (gAI) tools in completing this assignment is prohibited.
b) If the use of gAI tools is suspected, the University may conduct additional evaluations such as viva voce examinations to determine authorship and assess whether violations have occurred.

Question 1

a) Present the results of

OR
2) the Åstrand-Ryhming Cycle Ergometer Submaximal Exercise Test Protocol
conducted during the laboratory session.

Results:

• Present, in a table, the data collected from ALL the team members undertaking either the Bruce Submaximal Treadmill Protocol Graded Exercise Test (GXT) OR the Åstrand-Ryhming Cycle Ergometer Submaximal Exercise Test Protocol.
• Compare the V̇ O2max values of ALL the team members with the CRF
Classification of V̇ O2max (ml/kg/min) by Age and Gender, to determine the CRF classification of ALL the team. Analyse your findings.
• Compile in ONE (1) worksheet, the original Data Collection Sheets of ALL the
team members, undertaking either the Bruce Submaximal Treadmill Protocol
Graded Exercise Test or the Åstrand-Ryhming Cycle Ergometer Submaximal
Exercise Test Protocol. Attach the worksheet as an appendix to your ECA.
(10 marks)

team members, undertaking either the Ebbeling Submaximal Treadmill Protocol GXT or the PWC-170 Cycle Test. Attach the worksheet as an appendix to your ECA. (10 marks)

Question 2

(a) Discussion:
• Compare the V̇ O2max (ml/kg/min) values of ONE (1) team member (excluding yourself) between the Bruce and Ebbeling Submaximal Protocol GXTs OR between the Åstrand-Ryhming Cycle Ergometer Submaximal Exercise Test Protocol and PWC-170 Cycle Test.

Repeat for (1) other team member (excluding yourself).

• Evaluate TWO (2) chosen team members based on their

• Cardio Respiratory Fitness with respect to the CRF Classification of V̇ O2max
(ml/kg/min) by Age and Gender and

• medical and lifestyle fitness profile status based on the Health Screening selfreports.

• Present an evaluation report of the TWO (2) chosen team members. Provide
supporting evidence in your evaluation report.

• Attach the Health Screening self-reports, of the TWO (2) chosen team members, as an appendix to your ECA. (18 marks)

(b) Identify and explain TWO (2) practical things that you have learned from the laboratory sessions that you can apply to enhance your experience as EITHER an athlete, coach/trainer, mentor, sports administrator, teacher-in-charge, school leader, parent OR in any other related capacity (please specify). Provide examples and supporting evidence relevant to the real-world context.

(4 marks)

(c) Examine THREE (3) similarities and THREE (3) differences between Submaximal GXTs and Maximal GXTs. Substantiate your answers by giving examples of Submaximal and Maximal GXT protocols. (12 marks)
