Module 7 Discussion
Do Athletes Need Electrolytes?
Instructions
We have all heard that athletes need electrolytes, but do they? Most sports drinks are located in the same displays as most other beverages, such as soda. Some of these products are marketed to the average consumer as a product that will rejuvenate you.
Part A: Existing Knowledge
After watching the video, address the first question based on your thoughts and supported by research. Include with your post the research references in APA (American Psychological Association) style format. Post your reply by Tuesday. After posting, begin your textbook reading to complete Part B and Part C.
Question: Begin the discussion by sharing with the class your thoughts on sports drinks. Are all sports drinks created equal? Will the average consumer gain any advantage by consuming these products?
Part B: Applying What You Learn
For the second part of the discussion, you will apply what you have learned from the course textbook reading assignment in this module. By Thursday, create and post two separate well-crafted and well-researched questions for your classmates to answer. Each question must include at least 5 sentences of background information before your classmate questions are asked. You must start each question post with the heading “CLASSMATE QUESTION.”
Part C: Research and Respond
For the last part of the discussion, you will research and respond to two of your classmates’ questions. Each response must include at least 5 sentences of well-researched information from a resource other than the course textbook.
