Test Battery:
Testing is crucial for determining an individual’s strengths and weaknesses. However, to maintain validity, testing should be specific to the needs of the sport. A training program is effectively evaluated by improved test performance of a subject. Ideally, improved test performance is representative of improved sports performance. 
Exercise testing will need to be specific to the needs of the sport to maintain validity. It is important to remember the subject will not be able to attain and maintain sport-specific training adaptations across the annual plan. Therefore, the test battery will need to change as the needs of the subject change across the annual plan. 
For this assignment, you will: 
Identify the types of tests and the number of tests you plan to include in a test battery to evaluate the
ability of a subject participating in a specific sport. 
Create a test battery for each period of the annual plan. 
Provide a rationale for the inclusion of test types, number of tests, and order of tests to be included
in the test battery.
For the Final Plan use all this info and create an exercise plan for one of the microcycles.
Put it in order as follows:
1. Needs Analysis
2. Annual Plan
3. Test Battery
4. Final Plan

To end this semester, please write a paper on your full experience with the Special Olympics event that happened on April 28th. What was your role? What did you notice about the event as a whole? Behind the scenes? Would you make any recommendations on how this event could be run more successfully? And finally, write about anything else you may have experienced/noticed. Please ensure that this paper is well thought out as it is worth HALF of your full grade for this course.

Instructions 
Each student will develop and submit a PowerPoint presentation over an assigned chapter/topic from the textbook. There must be a minimum of 12 slides and no more than 20 slides per presentation.
The PowerPoint presentation will be based on a topic that you have been assigned by the professor. The presentation needs to follow the outline of the chapter and should include a brief introduction that provides the audience with a frame of reference, the main body of the presentation, ending with a strong conclusion slide. The goal is to engage and get your message across effectively regarding the topic.
Below are some general guidelines: 
• Keep your visuals clear and simple 
• Use simple graphics, charts and diagrams wherever possible.
• Avoid using too many colors, patterns and graphics in one frame. 
• Use a minimum of words for text and title frames. 
• Upper and lower-case lettering is more legible than all capital letters.
• Avoid using more than two font sizes per frame. 
• Try to maintain the same or similar font size from frame to frame. 
• Contrasting use of color is best. 
• Keep color schemes consistent throughout the presentation. 
• Include a title slide as well as a reference slide. 
• Include citations (including page numbers) throughout the presentation.
• Graphics – Photographs, graphs and illustrations of artwork are excellent means of communicating complex ideas, providing that they are meaningful and relevant.  
You can use either chapter 10 or 12 from the course’s book. I will attach a picture of my login information to access the book. 

For this research paper, you will choose a topic for which you will conduct research, analyze, and form an argument. Your job is to create a cohesive argument using the skills you’ve learned throughout the semester: summary, synthesis, analysis, and argument. In this essay, you’ll rely on outside sources, in addition to your own perspective, to analyze and summarize the main issues at stake. You may use personal opinions, experiences, and analysis to help situate yourself within the outside sources. You will demonstrate an awareness of the larger “conversation” by effectively incorporating sources from your research.
Finding and Using Sources:
You need to locate at least four (4) credible sources relating to your topic. At least three (3) sources should be scholarly articles from peer-reviewed journals. In addition to scholarly sources, you can use other sources that you find credible and relevant to your subject. Remember that sources such as encyclopedias and online dictionaries (including Wikipedia) serve as good starting points, but are not considered credible outside sources for academic research.
Requirements:
1250-1500 words in the edited paper
A Works Cited page
A reflective cover letter detailing your rhetorical choices
MLA format (12 point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced) with a proper header
