1. If a baseball player stretches before practive, then they will prevent injury that could be caused during practice.
2.Dependent Variable: Amount of time spent applying ice to the shoulder after practice.
Independent Variable: Amount of time performing stretches.
Control Variable: College baseball players (22 pitchers).
3. Testing the relationship between certain amounts of stretching and injury; "how much is too much?"
A recent study has shown stretching does not prevent injury, but does the exact opposite. It is widely accepted that too much flexibility destroys the body's ability to "recoil," or return to its original position, which then weakens muscle usage. However, the studies say chances are unchanging or even worse, depending on the sport, of course. Through this, I hope to find that stretching as an exercise still does provide some sort of "warm up," while keeping the athlete injury-free.
4. Various sources of already-performed research.
5. Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Please elaborate on step 4. Write at least a paragraph on how you will collect data (websites, research articles, etc...) and what you will do with it.
