Have to write a 20 page specialist work about martial arts. My essay deals with structure of training in general, stretching, coordination, responsiveness and balance as well as with corneal formation...

My question is what for content I can put for example in a survey to proof if there are really physiological influences, do you have any idea or do you know in general a further aspect?

Welcome to MartialTalk, Niklasfrzkk.

You have plenty of people here to ask.

How long have you been training and what have you, yourself, learned about the things your paper will be covering?

For what is this a requirement? Give us some context. Is this for an academic program? Creating a survey and collecting data and conducting a statistical analysis to show significance requires some training to do it well. If you are in an academic program, you should be receiving that training and I would think your professor could give you guidance.

If this is not part of an academic program, and is required for a promotion or something, and you don’t have that academic training, it is unlikely you will be able to design an appropriate survey and conduct the statistical analysis. Without that ability, you won’t have any meaningful data.

Are you looking for research that has already been done about martial arts' effect on human physiology? If so, google scholar has plenty. I don't think anyone here is going to sum it up for you to make your hw easier though (if I understood correctly).
Google Scholar

To clarify, if you end up with specific questions, we might answer those. But how I read it so far is "I have to do an assignment, you guys tell me what to do". If I'm wrong, please let me know.

What do you mean by "physiological influence of martial arts on the human body"? Are you looking for how martial arts changes the human body? The physics of how martial arts techniques work? How we come to understand our physiology better by training martial arts?

Then why have you talked about it 11,532 times on this site?
Sharing information is different from doing MA research.

No matter how much research that you may do on

- linear can be used to counter non-leaner.
- non-linear can be used to counter linear.

If you can't do it, those statements are useless.

What's the purpose for MA research?
Ummmmm, I wouldn't have thought this needed explaining.
Research is done to learn.
When someone claims to be able to shoot chi balls across the room, or knock people out without touching them, the best choice is to...(say it with me)... research it. Apply the scientific method.
MA is for doing. MA is not for talking.
You say the silliest things sometimes.

You're assuming he can't do it. Why? What evidence do you have that he can't?

Even if he can't, is there a certain prerequisite before you can ask questions? That's a great way to turn away someone who is curious about martial arts. Different terms for this are "gatekeeping" and "elitism".

On top of that, you ask these kinds of questions all the time. Most of the threads you start are "A or B" type of threads. Are you not doing research when you ask these questions?

I had to write a similar thing some years ago. Here are a couple of sources that helped me:



Good luck with your paper.

As a physiologist (and specifically a neuroscientist), I’d say martial arts are simply exercise and will have the same affects as on the body as any other similar type of exercise - they’re nothing special! If you actually mean physiology (’the mechanisms by which the body functions’) then that’s a more nuanced question….

if the young man comes back, he should be very thankful for your post.
It's the Catch 22 of Martial Talk. Usually by the time I feel I have something worthwhile to say in a thread some wiser faster person has already said it. When I do manage to post something worthwhile, the OP never comes back to read it. Ah well, it's here for posterity and other people will be able to search it if it is ever needed again.

Don't worry. He posted these all over Reddit and didn't respond to me over there, either.

I found a trick to that. I'm aware most people on here are wiser than me, so I'll let them post the meaty stuff. Then I get to read it all, free of charge.
