Hello,

Please see if I solved it correctly. The more I look at it the more confused i get. Thank you.

Write-up- Use these questions as a guide to write an abstract (paragraph). Use past tense.

Include the following items:

1. What was the research question?
2. What was the Pearson correlation value (r), and was it statistically significant? (Use "sig" reported in SPSS. That is the p-value, and compare to alpha to determine significance)
3. Was there a positive or negative relationship between the two variables, and how did you come to that conclusion? Was this a strong correlation? (use r/Pearson)
4. What are your thoughts on the finding of this analysis, and what are the practical application(s) of this finding? Elaborate on what the study means, why, how you know, and relate the findings to exercise physiology knowledge. Use references if needed. (Hint- does this study "make sense?" What could influence results?)

The research question is, "Is mean heart rate during exercise correlated to body weight?". Based on the data provided, mean heart rate correlates with body weight during exercise. The p-value of the body weight is -.411; since it is greater than 0.05, it's statistically significant. The Pearson Correlation is negative; therefore, the relationship between heart rate and body weight is also negative. As one variable increases, the other variable will decrease. If the heart rate increases, body weight will decrease, or if body weight increases, the mean heart rate will decrease during exercise. The results of this analysis can be used in client programming when it comes to wanting to lose weight or improve cardiovascular fitness while also losing weight.
