I am gonna attach an example that i have to go by. It has to be at least one page. ( use this attachment as a guide) He is an example:
Research Proposal Example
Title of Proposal: Using Indoor Cycling for Fitness and Wellness
Statement of Purpose: The purpose of my proposal is to show how the sport of indoor cycling is a very good way to stay fit, active, and in great health. Staying healthy is an essential part of living a longer life.
Introduction and Background: The sport of indoor cycling or spinning, as some call it, is a great way for anyone to stay fit and healthy. Cycling, also known as spinning, is done inside on a stationary bicycle, usually in a group or class setting. An instructor or spin instructor, who rides his/her stationary bike at the front of the class, leads the group or class. The Spin instructor gives commands for the group members to increase speed, tension, do jumps, execute exercise moves, etc. to music and beats. Indoor Cycling is a variation of outdoor cycling in which the rider actually has to increase speed, tension, do hills, and jumps. The indoor class tries to mimic these moves and actions inside. The significance of this topic is that 76% of all Americans are either overweight or obese according to the American Medical Association’s statistics of where weight levels should be based on age and height (AMA 2009). With these startling stats, it is very important for everyone to eat healthy but most importantly add some type of physical activity to their daily routines to stay fit and healthy. Research shows that indoor cycling has become a sport that many people like because it does not cause stress on the bones or joints, it is done indoors, and others participate with you. In a poll done at a NYC YMCA, participants were asked what they liked best about indoor cycling, and the most common answer was the group participation. Indoor cycling can burn up to 1000 calories in one session which may last 45 minutes to an hour (Cycling Secrets, 23). Therefore, cycling three times a week and eating a low calorie diet can allow a person to lose 1-2 pounds a week. This is one of the healthiest ways to lose weight (Cycling Secrets. 26).
Significance of Topic: Cycling is becoming a popular activity at gyms and fitness spas. I began indoor cycling in 2002 after I had to stop running because an ankle injury. I could not run due to the pressure it would put on the pins, screws, and plate in my ankle, so indoor cycling became my sport of choice because it doesn’t put direct pressure on my ankle. It is fun, energizing, and an excellent way to stay in shape.
Approach to research/Descriptions Methods of Research: For my research, I have chosen to use an article on cycling, a book on indoor cycling, and an interview of an indoor cycling instructor. I plan to ask her questions concerning how she began instructing cycling and some of the other benefits of cycling.
Problems concerning research of topic: I do not anticipate any problems with my research because my topic is one that I enjoy. There is lots of information out there with this topic at libraries, fitness centers, and YMCA’s.
