I’m working on a research & summaries writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Your task is to provide a review of specified media and develop a reaction statement based on the
characteristics outlined below.
The Issue: Health Impacts of ‘Extreme’ Exercise
Read First: CBS News Story

Read Second: Research article by Lavie & O’Keefe

csmr/Fulltext/2015/03000/Exercise_and_the_Heart___the_Harm_of_Too_Little.12.aspx

Read Fourth: Medium Blog

Read each of the above in the order listed and then develop a reaction statement to what you have
read and learned. Consider many/most of the following in developing your statement:
1. What is your global reaction to all readings taken as a group?
2. What do you make of the title of the CBS Story? Why might this have been the title?
3. How well-supported is the title of the CBS story based on the O’Keefe paper?
4. What is your sense of the accuracy of the CBS story after reading the O’Keefe and ExerciseMD
and Medium materials? True? Half true?
5. What lessons can be learned from an activity like this one in terms of how research is
disseminated from scientific meetings and research journals to the general public?
