Title of lab
Purpose of lab
o Tell what you did, how you did it and why you did it
Methodology
o List all materials, equipment, and machines that were used for
each specific lab.
o When appropriate, explain the procedures for completing the
lab. Not all labs will require the procedures, but when you are
asked to complete them, make sure that you include each step
and all equipment needed for the lab. If you were to mail your
procedures to an Exercise Physiology student in Florida, they
should be able to perform the lab with only your instructions, no
other documents.

two values have same rank, average the two ranks and give each
value the average rank (ex. If two values are tied for sixth place,
assign each of the tied values the rank of 6.5 which is the average of
the ranks 6 and 7. If they were tied for third place, then you would
assign each of the tied values a rank of 3.5. The same is true when
you have three or more tied values, just take the average of the ranks
and assign the average for the ranks to each value.
Calculate the differences between the ranks of the data columns. This
will be included under the heading d in the table.
Calculate the square of each difference. This will be included under
the heading d2 in the table.
Calculate the sum of the squared differences. This will be d2.
Using the formula given above, calculate the value for r.
Using the following table, determine whether the calculated r-value is
statistically significant (rcalculated > rcritical for the number of subjects
included in your data set).
For each rank order calculation, include whether the
relationship is significant or not significant, a direct or indirect
relationship, and a weak or strong relationship. The range of
values for r can go from -1.00 (indirect) to +1.00 (direct). The closer
the value is to 1.00 (negative or positive) the stronger the relationship.
A negative correlation indicated that the two variables are inversely
related.
