Considering Delivery and Style
After reading two completely different sources for information regarding new developments within the kinesiology field, I've been able to detect reasons as to why each style works for grasping new information and which style is preferred on the delivery of information.
The scholarly article titled "A Hyperventilation Theory of Job Stress and Musculoskeletal Disorders" discusses research conducted on the effects of stress and the relation to musculoskeletal disorders. It presents this information with an abstract, a summary of the article, as well as paragraphs that explain the specific parts of the research. It also includes graphs that help break up the amount of text and represents the information being delivered.
The online article titled "Age-related Differences in Brain Health Vary with Fitness Level in Older Adults" summarizes a study conducted to see how fitness and health of the brain correlate. It was found that the higher the fitness level of an individual, the healthier brain is as they age. This style presents the information as a summary of an actual study done. It includes minimal photos, but is broken up into paragraphs. This article contains far less information that the scholarly article presented in this post.
The style of the two pieces differ greatly. The greatest difference is the amount of text and the delivery of the text. The text in the scholarly article is scientific and uses less common words to describe a new study completed, whereas the online article is the opposite, using common language and words to summarize a previous study done. Personally, I prefer the smaller amount of text and a summarized version of the research because I feel I can better understand the information being presented without being overwhelmed by too much information. Some individuals may prefer scholarly articles over summarized, online articles because they like to read all about the topic and like to know the details. Because of all of the details included, I believe that the scholarly article would be trusted more. We, as humans, seem to put more trust into things that we know more information about.
