The main question for Week 3 is how does exercise affect the immune system? We know that exercise has numerous health benefits such as improved cardiovascular function, increased muscle strength and endurance, and reduced risk of chronic diseases, but what about the immune system? There is evidence of regular exercise enhancing the immune system, and there is other evidence suggesting that intense or prolonged exercise may suppress immune function. Find your own evidence to back up what happens to the immune system after stressful exercise and some recommendations to help with recovery of the immune system. Make sure to cite and reference as needed.
For follow-up posts, respond to your classmates with evidence that backs up your position on what your peers are explaining regarding post-workout immune function. You may agree or disagree with your peers but be sure to back up your response/s with information that you found in research articles. Remember, when you are giving your opinion there are correct and incorrect responses, so if a classmate gives you feedback, do not take it offensively, but let it serve as a group learning project. Make sure your response is not only an “I agree” with minimal detail. Follow the discussion board forum guidelines to earn full credit.

For this video analysis discussion forum, we will focus on the most effective compound exercises for wither upper or lower body strength and development. We will examine correct form and execution of these movements and provide alternative exercises of the same compound movement, just with other conventional or non-conventional equipment.
Explanation/Analysis of the Exercise: 
You will go through the following points of performance for your exercise of choice with as much detail/explanation as possible without overwhelming the audience: 
Starting Position
Movement/Range of Motion
Alternative Exercises: 
You will explain all the alternative exercise for your selected exercise and explain the differences of the following topics: 
Starting Position
Movement
Finishing position
Key points of why the alternative exercise is different.
You will record your analysis of the exercises to the best of your ability. If you have access to a gym or other area to show the main compound exercise or alternative, please use it because it makes the analysis truer to life. If you are unable, attempt to explain the exercise and alternatives through video clips you may find. The video clips should only be used if you cannot make them yourself.

Plyometrics are a great group of exercises that require a combination of strength and power to move in an explosive manner. Although we say explosive, this term is relative to all age groups, as explosive for seniors will look drastically different compared to plyometrics for a high school senior. You will explore how plyometrics will carry over to real life movement patterns, so be very clear in your explanations.
Procedures
This is a multi-task assignment requiring part research, part exploration to the movements, and an application to real-life tasks and evidence-based practices. Follow the directions below to earn max credit, so do not miss any steps. There is no specific length for this assignment, although it will require plenty of detail for all parts.
Instructions:
Examine through your research the exercises, benefits, and application to daily tasks for plyometric training/exercise. Topics to address should include how plyometrics can improve explosive power, agility, balance, and coordination, and how these improvements can enhance performance in everyday movements. 
You must incorporate a minimum of 3 additional references besides your textbook to accompany your writing.
Select three different daily tasks or activities that you commonly engage in, such as climbing stairs, picking up heavy objects, reaching high for something, or jumping over obstacles.
Analyze the movements involved in each of the selected daily tasks. 
Break each movement into specific components like jumping, landing, pushing, pulling, and quick changes in direction.
Based on the movements identified in Step 3, choose 3 plyometric exercises that target similar movement patterns. For example, if one of the tasks involves jumping, select a plyometric exercise that focuses on vertical jumps. 
Provide a detailed description of each plyometric exercise selected, including proper form, technique, and progression. Explain how each exercise specifically targets the movement pattern related to the chosen daily task.
For each daily task, explain how the chosen plyometric exercise can be applied to improve performance in that specific task. Discuss the potential benefits, such as increased power, speed, or stability, and how these improvements can positively impact your ability to perform the task more efficiently or with reduced risk of injury.
Discuss safety considerations or modifications that should be considered when incorporating plyometrics into daily tasks. Consider factors such as age/generational differences, individual fitness level, existing injuries, and the importance of proper warm-up and progression.

Please be sure to review the PowerPoint do’s and don’ts document that is attached. Remember, the PowerPoint must include a notes section. The notes section should be the script you will use for your presentation such that if you were unable to make the presentation, someone else could make the presentation by reading what you’ve written in the notes section. Notes are placed on the same slide (i.e., beneath) information being presented pertaining to a specific area (e.g., Mission Statement). See “Select to add notes” at bottom of slide – notes will be placed in this area. Suggestion – use MS PPT “help” to review instructions for inserting “notes” using your specific version of MS PPT.
