Criteria Feedback
- The student communicates a clear and relevant sport-science topic from the start.
- The student's research question is understandable and linked to the practical investigation.
- The student includes a workable method with participants, baseline testing, exercise conditions, and recovery.
- The student's question is still too broad because key terms like fatigue and performance are not fully operationalized.
- The measured variable does not always match the wording of the question and thesis.
- Several methodological choices are not fully standardized, which limits reliability.

- The student often connects background knowledge to the sporting context rather than presenting facts in isolation.
- Some terminology and mechanisms are inaccurate or oversimplified.
- A few anatomical and biochemical explanations need more precision.
- The student sometimes applies scientific ideas more broadly than the evidence from their investigation supports.
