Scenario

Following from your previous question you also believe there may be an age effect on the sprint time.

Aims: You have recruited a number of participants and prescribed an 8-week HIIT programme. Having completed the 8-week programme you want to see if there is an effect in terms of

• 100m sprint time

– based on the age group of the participant.  – You must recode the age variable into age groups (20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50+)

Scoring of each measure: –

100m sprint time: faster sprint time indicates higher athletic ability (measured in seconds)

Based on the specified scenario, provide the:

1.Descriptive statistics for all of the participant demographics and outcome variables

2.Select and run the appropriate statistical test(s)

• State and justify the statistical test you have chosen
• Test the appropriate assumptions
• Run the test

3.Report the findings in full as would be expected for publication, interpret meaning and provide a simple-layperson interpretation.

Justify your decisions throughout and provide SPSS output in the appendices (except graphs which can be placed in the body of your report).
