Final planning

Tonight, my group members and I had another Skype conversation to finalize our next few steps of the project.

Here are the different topics of our discussion:

- Research: by now, each one of us has done research on our chosen field of sport (endurance, strength, flexibility and agility). We found out that endurance and flexibility have the most relation to stretching, and therefore we decided to focus on these two areas. We may still refer to agility and endurance in our final presentation, though the research will not be further developed. This decision means that our experiments will be done to see the impact of stretching on endurance and flexibility. To organize all of the research that was done, we have all agreed to upload our Word documents to the Facebook group page, and then Eminet can compile everything together into one document.

- Experiments: Although Eminet found an experiment that was done online related to stretching, we have decided as a group to conduct our own experiments. As we will be focusing on strength and flexibility, our experiments will be the sit and reach (flexibility) and seeing how high the subject can jump (strength). Tomorrow afterschool we will be meeting together in the gym to conduct all our experiments and input the data into an excel document. Our control group will be doing stretching, our variable group will be not doing stretching.

- Once everything is doing, we will be making a powerpoint presentation. As 3/4 group members (including myself) will be travelling to Portugal for an MUN conference from Tuesday to Monday, we will try to get as much done before we leave as we can. The presentations are done the week we get back, which means that that week will be very rushed and busy. Tonight we talked about how we should get an outline of the powerpoint done by Tuesday night so that we have a general idea of what we want to do. We want to make it a very visual and interesting presentation, which will include graphs, images, and videos.

Although we may be a bit behind, I'm confident that my group will be able to work together and get our presentation done!
