esearch Design

The best research design for this question would be an experimental one. This is because your research aims to investigate the causal relationship between the style of exercise sessionbrief, intermittent versus prolonged, continuousand the impact it has on working memory.

Key Variables

Independent Variable (IV)	Dependent Variable
Type of exercise session Brief, intermittent sessions Longer, continuous sessions	Working memory performance Standardized cognitive tests that evaluate accuracy or working memory ability could be used to measure this.

Levels of the Independent Variable

• Brief, intermittent sessions
• Longer, continuous sessions

Design Considerations

1. Between-Groups Design Random assignment would be used to place participants in either the group engaging in shorter, intermittent exercise or the one involved in longer, continuous exercise. After completing the respective exercise sessions, the working memory performance of each group would be assessed.
2. Control Group You may incorporate a control group that does not participate in any exercise sessions to reinforce the experimental design. This would assist in adjusting for variables such as motivation, time, and attention
3. Random Assignment To reduce bias and increase the likelihood that any variations in working memory performance observed are caused by the type of exercise session rather than underlying group differences, participants are randomly assigned to each group.

Research Hypothesis

The brief, intermittent exercise sessions will lead to greater improvements in working memory compared to longer, continuous sessions.

Analysis Plan

To compare the working memory performance of the two exercise groups and possibly the control group, statistical analyses such as ANOVA or t-tests would be employed. Regression analysis may also be utilized to investigate any moderating effects that individual differences or variables may exert.

My question is how would i include a copy of measures in the appendix of this proposal or embedded link to website so that it can be review for appropriateness to test the hypothesis.

Any help would be appeciated.
