Health or Fitness Article Critique (Popular Press Article  Critique) A critique of an article on one aspect of Health. For this assignment select a health, physical fitness, or “nutrition” article from the “popular press journal” or a newspaper that has been published within the last three months (since November, 2018). Magazines such as Shape, Chatelaine, Muscle and Fitness, Self, Readers Digest, Prevention, Canadian Living, Maxim, Oxygen, Cosmopolitan and many others are good sources for relevant articles. Your task is to critique the selected article on the basis of academic publications such as your course text, lectures, scientific (peer reviewed (research)) journals, the WWW (Internet) and university library sources, such as the Physical & Health Education Journal, The Physician and Sports Medicine, other health journals, the electronic databases (i.e. EBSCO) and other health or fitness texts and monographs. These other sources must either support or refute the concepts and prescriptions proposed or reported by the original author whose article you are critiquing. Your chosen article must refer to a topic included in this class. Please show me your article before the start of your assignment to make sure that it is appropriate for a critique.  5 Your assignment will be evaluated on the basis of integration of principles taken from lectures, course text, and other sources (minimum of 7). The largest proportion of your sources should be academic: peer reviewed journals (scientific research based), academic monographs, conference proceedings, etc..
