Caffeine On The Atheletes: A Qualitative Study
Chapter 3
Research Design and Methodlogy
This study is conducted in order to asses the effects of caffeine in the endurance of the atheletes. The focus of the assessment was on the caffeine on how it will work as a endurance enhancer to the athletes. In order to gather the necessary data, the researchers’ utilized the experimental method. According to Kendra Cherry, 2007, The experimental method involves manipulating one variable to determine if changes in one variable cause changes in another variable. This method relies on controlled methods, random assignment and the manipulation of variables to test a hypothesis. Furthermore, according to Megan E. Bradley, 2000, Experimental Method is a study in which the investigator manipulates (at …show more content…
They asserted that “the reliability of the findings depends on the likely recurrence of the original data and the way they are interpreted”(Ritchie and Lewis, 2003:271). Marshall and Rossman (1999) and Seale (1999) argued that the absolute replication of qualitative studies is very difficult to achieve since they reflect realities at the time they were collected and in a situation which is likely to change. It is often referred to as an unrealistic demand. Phenomenological research may be difficult to repeat because it depends generally on unstructured data collection methods (Gray, 2004). Instead, a good practice of reliability can be enhanced through an aspect of reflexivity, which is “showing the audience of research studies as much as possible of the procedures that have led to a particular set of conclusions” (Seale, …show more content…
First the respondents will do the short term and long term exercises without any consumption of caffeine. The researchers will record the time and other observations. After this there will be an hour break, but during the break, the respondents will give the caffeinated drinks to the respondents in order to continue in the research. It needs to be one hour after the cosumption of caffeine, so that, the researchers will observe any difference in their performance. After one hour, respondents must do again the short and long term exercise to see any improvements, and the research will obeserve and record any
