This will be a discussion post regarding performance and training manipulations for optimal sports performance within the field of exercise science. You
must support your response with at least two new peer-reviewed articles, but can also cite any of the provided resources. For this particular assignment,
using Kenney W. L., Wilmore, J., Costill, D. Physiology of Sport and Exercise (7th ed.). Human Kinetics, Champaign, IL. 2019 CCh. 9 “Principle of Exercise
Training” & Ch. 11 “Adaptations to Aerobic and Anaerobic Training”, respond to the following topic:
Develop a needs analysis for a sport of your choice (soccer-forward). A needs analysis should address the physical demands of the sport (intensity, duration,
movement patterns, biomechanics, muscles involved, energy systems primarily involved) assessments for progress monitoring, and characteristics of
athletes suited for the sport. You will select at least one assessment specific to the sport you have selected to help identify needs in one of the areas listed
above. You must justify your assessment selections, explain how they measure progress, and explain what they measure physiologically and why the
measurements are important. At least one peer-reviewed article (not one provided) is required to support your assessment.
Discussions require a response to specific questions that results in collaborative conversations and construction of knowledge that builds and expands
learning within the course. You must support your Discussion postings and responses with references, unless you are asked to provide personal opinion or…
