Find one published peer-reviewed research article on the ergogenic aid you picked.

Do not use Muscle Magazine or a similar magazine because these are for the general public and are not peer-reviewed.

The journal article you select should be a research study that shows how your chosen ergogenic aid affects athletic performance, positively or negatively.

Remember, a research article is not a review article.

A research article reports the results of a research study. You can tell the difference between a research article and a review article because a review article summarizes several research studies.

list your selected ergogenic aid,

provide the reference for your selected article,

describe how your particular ergogenic aid purportedly enhances performance,

describe the study and the results, and

evaluate the article. For example, does the study make appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?

Make sure its a published peer-reviewed research article and not a review article
