"Comparison of Impact Forces in High and Low Impact Aerobic Dance Movements"
by Mark D. Ricard and Steve Veatch
This journal is about a comparison of impact forces in high and low impact aerobic dance movements. With the increase of participants in aerobic dance, number of injury has increased as well, it led participants to start changing from high impact to low impact aerobics. So the scientists wanted to know the differences between high and low impact aerobics in loading rate and peak impact forces. In order to conduct an experiment, scientists tested on five subjects, four females and one male, that all were skilled in both high and low impact aerobic dance.The scientists discovered that “low impact front knee lifts impose a significantly lower load than high impact from knee lifts”.
After reading this journal, I found it very different from the novel writing, since novel writing often uses rhetoric but scientific journal doesn’t. Another thing is that, I found the result part is quite different from what I’ve expected it to be. Mostly is because what I’ve expected was a lot more simpler and shorter. However, what I saw here was very specific and detailed. Scientists use data table and curve charts to communicate the result. Moreover, there’s not only figures but also explanations for those figures, like what the data represents for instance. As we noticed, the topic is about the difference in high and low impact aerobic dance movements, nevertheless, the scientists have given much more than that to support the idea, for example the impact impulse, peak lodaing rate and so on, which make the results more precise and of course more scientific. Finally, the text, is very clear and concise. It’s obvious that the diction and data are very accurate and so is the logic here since everything is done step by step, I think, that’s also what makes the journal so persuasive and convinced.
