RavensFan, we’ve talked about this, and I see reflections of our conversation in your explanations about content and your intentions.
I have to warn you against the danger of “claim spread,” which, in this case, would amount to starting with “working out clears the mind to tackle problems,” and gradually adding 1) it relieves stress, 2) it’s part of a well-scheduled lifestyle, 3) it results in longer, healthier lives, 4), 5), . . . .
You could get 1000 words out of the general claim that “exercise improves mental health” without reading anything more substantial than an article in “Men’s Health.” Shall I look for one?
Here you go:
That came from MenGentle.com
They didn’t stick to their own topic very well because they don’t have to. Nobody takes the contents seriously, and neither should you.
You should be on the lookout for studies that test subjects both before and after exercising to compare their ability to concentrate on problem solving. I understood that to be our agreed Hypothesis angle.
Should I look for one?
Here you go:
5,000 results for search string: “physical exercise” “problem solving” +cognitive mental acuity.
The topic is SO big that even trying to limit the number of sources Google Scholar delivers, I got it DOWN to 5,000.
The moral of this story: You can’t allow yourself to write a paper nearly as broad as “mental health benefits of exercise.”
Provisionally graded. Grades on this assignment are subject to change all the way to the portfolio, when it will become the “Annotated Bibliography.”
