My original research question was, “What types of prevention
methods can help reduce injury and lengthen a football player’s life?” Now that
I’ve begun to do more research on it, I decided to make it more of an
argument-based research assignment. This way I can go into more depth on the
overall topic. My new question is, “Which prevention method proves to be the
most effective in lengthening an athlete’s life?” With this new question, I can
still explain all the ways of preventions, but I can also state my opinion on
which one I believe is more efficient. I will provide the answer as to which
one really is more effective as well. I also changed from specific to more
broad, because I can compare different athletes from different sports.
Referring to my argument, I feel as if conditioning is the ultimate way to
prevent injury in leg muscles, arm muscles, etc., because it helps strengthen
the athlete. Add a little stretching in there, and that doubles the positive effects.
I also feel that maybe more protective gear could be worn. I’m obviously going to be using a few of my
previous sources to explain the different methods of prevention, but I may
decide to look further. I’ve been thinking about finding some recent news stories,
if any, and using those to help aid my argument. The books and articles I
already found are a great start. I can’t wait to see how this all turns out.
