What to Submit: On an attached Google Doc, write a ½-page explanation describing who your project is for and how it benefits them.

See example below:
This project is for high school athletes and coaches. It will help them understand how sleep impacts performance and reduce unnecessary fatigue-related injuries.

Choose ONE of the DBQ questions below and write a detailed response. Your answer should demonstrate a clear understanding of anatomy, physiology, and nervous system function. Use complete explanations and reference specific structures and processes.

After posting your response, you must also respond to one classmate’s post. Your reply should add to the discussion by expanding on their reasoning, asking a thoughtful question, or correcting/clarifying a concept using scientific reasoning.

Students who complete both DBQ responses will earn extra credit.

2. How can a disruption to the autonomic nervous system interfere with normal breathing after a solar plexus impact?

Athletes experience powerful collisions during sports. These impacts can generate large forces that may damage ribs and internal organs. In this activity, you will calculate the force generated during different sports collisions and determine whether the force could realistically cause internal injury.

Your answer should be the ranking of our 5 athletes from least severe to most severe

What to Submit: On an attached Google Doc, annotate at least 5 of your MLA sources with 2-3 sentence descriptions.

See example below:

You are designing a sport-specific shoulder prehabilitation plan rooted in biomechanics and evidence-informed exercise selection.

There are three required deliverables:
1. Completed Workbook Packet (Handwritten, submitted ___)
2. YouTube Video (Unlisted)
3. Canva Poster
All three are required for full credit.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
This is an individual assignment. You may select any sport. Multiple students may select the same sport. You must appear in your video and provide verbal instruction. You may use a classmate as your demo athlete. Minimum video length: 4 minutes. Maximum: 8 minutes. Edits are encouraged, but be professional. Poster must be a single-page Canva infographic. The workbook must be handwritten and complete.

If you do not manage your time appropriately, completion becomes your responsibility outside of class.

During my absence, you will complete a required HIPAA training module and demonstrate your understanding through a final exam. This mirrors real expectations in healthcare, sports medicine, and patient care settings. This assignment has two required steps. Both must be completed to earn full credit.

STEP 1: HIPAA CERTIFICATION TRAINING
What to do
Go to https://www.hipaatraining.com/training. Complete the assigned HIPAA training course. Finish the entire course and pass the assessment. Download your completion certificate.

Username: RiponUnified_SJ
Password: Training123!

Submission requirement
Upload your HIPAA certificate to this Google Classroom assignment. The certificate must clearly show your name and completion date.

Important
This step is required before you can take the written final exam. If the certificate is not uploaded, the final exam will not be available.

STEP 2: HIPAA FINAL EXAM
What to know
The final exam is a 25-question multiple-choice quiz. It will be released only after your certificate is uploaded. One attempt only. This exam measures understanding, not just completion.

What to Submit: A Google Doc listing 7–10 research sources in correct MLA format. One source must be peer-reviewed. 

See below for an example:
Johnson, Lisa. “The Role of Sleep in Adolescent Performance.” Sleep Medicine Journal, vol. 11, no. 2, 2021, pp. 44–52.
Smith, Jordan. “Recovery Time in High School Athletes.” Journal of Sports Recovery, 2020.
“Teen Sleep and Exercise.” Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/teensleep.

Re-Takes will only be allowed for a <50%

In this assignment, you and your group will become the class experts on a special test. Professionals do not guess injuries. They use anatomy, movement, and clinical tests to narrow down what structure is injured. Your job is to teach one of these tests clearly, accurately, and confidently.

You will work in a small group to break down your assigned test, demonstrate it, and explain when and why it is used. This is a professional skill: clarity, accuracy, and teamwork matter.

Format Option:
1. Horizontal Poster
2. 1 Slide Canva Preso

Group #1 = Empty Can Test: Anandjap, Julian, and Colby
Group #2 = Drop Arm Test: Kennedy and Scarlette
Group #3 = Hawkins-Kennedy Test: Kayley and Jensen
Group #4 = Neer's Test: Sydney, Tati, and Luis
Group #5 = Speed's Test: Eileen and Eknoor
Group #6 = Yergason's Test: Savannah and Brooklyn
Group #7 =  Apprehension Test: Makeila, Elliot, and Ximena
Group #8 = Sulcus Sign Test: Lila, Macey, and Beauross

See the attached Case Study

Injury reports must cover the following points in each report: mechanism of injury (how it happened and any historical injuries), signs and symptoms of the injury, immediate treatment (what did the medical professionals immediately do for the injured athlete), postgame treatment (what was the treatment the athlete needed after they left the field/court/box/ring/etc.), and return to play (how long is the athlete out, how long until he returned to play, and what is the rehab process for returning to play). In order to extend your research basis the timeframe for all injury reports must have occurred within the past 12 months.

Reflecting on Your Athletic Personality: How have our recent discussions helped you recognize aspects of your athletic personality that you might not have noticed before? For instance, do you find that your in-game personality differs from how you are in everyday life? Are there traits you have that others may not recognize?
