The masters degree program in exercise science requires students to complete a 4-credit Research Thesis (ES 599) or complete and submit two formal file papers to the School of Health and Human Performance. Submission of the File Papers constitutes a non-thesis option and requires the student to complete at least four additional elective credits to attain the minimum of 32 credits required for the degree.

File papers may be part of the assigned work of a course, such as the review paper required in ES 531 Advanced Seminar or a paper associated with a directed study or another course. The paper must represent independant scholarly work and demonstrate that the student has put original thought into the product.

The work must be prepared as a formal paper prior to final submission as a file paper. Simply turning in a paper as part of a class does not constitute final submission as a file paper for the degree. With each file paper students will submit a "File Paper Submission Form" you can access this form as a google doc or as a fillable pdf file. For each paper you will need to:

• include a copy of your professors feedback
• have highlighted in yellow all areas I updated in the paper in response to professor feedback
• complete the summary table on each form summarizing how you have addressed the professor’s feedback.

File papers can be submitted electronically or as a physical hardcopy to theprogram coordinator for the Exercise Science Program Director. Following submission the program director will complete and submit a "A Verification of Completion of Graduate Projects" form to the Graduate Studies Office at least 20 days prior to the student’s date of graduation. The student should contact the Graduate Studies Office to determine the exact “due date” for each semester and plan accordingly.

File papers often involve a review of a specific topic. In such cases the written review should be prepared as if it were being submitted to a scientific journal as a “Brief Review.” Good examples may be found in the ACSM publication – Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews (available in the NMU library). See:

Coyle, E.F. and J. Gonzalez-Alonso. Cardiovascular drift during prolonged exercise: new perspectives. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev. 26(2):88-92, 2001.

Wagner. P. New ideas on limitations to VO2max. Exerc. Sport Sci. Rev. 28(1):10-14, 2000.

(Copies of the Coyle and Gonzalez-Alonso and the Wagner reviews are tacked on the bulletin board by my office. If you take these, please replace ASAP.)

Another good reference for examples is the journal Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise (available in the NMU library). MSSE® publishes reviews under the category of Brief Review.

Brief review papers will usually involve 8-24 pages of double-spaced text (4-5 journal pages), plus tables and figures, and between 15-20 references. The style format of Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews or MSSE® should be used for the preparation of file papers.

The organizational format of the paper may vary according to the specific topic, however, the general structure for a scientific review article should be followed. A brief introduction should be provided to establish why the review is important and to describe any boundaries or limitations of the review. Next would be an organized and systematic exploration of the topic with appropriate subheadings. The body of the review should follow a logical progression from sub-heading to sub-heading. A conclusion or summary section should close the review.
