Choose one:
sample
Why did you choose that answer?
The group had only 180 people, there would be many more in the population of female
athletes
Choose one: Observation study
How do you know it was that type of study?
There was no control group who received a placebo; the researchers did not manipulate
the treatment, just observed and reported the injuries and conditions.
Choose one for sample type:
stratified

The article states that there were 138 female collegiate athletes for comparison. This
best fits with the definition of stratified since female is the first strata, athlete is a second
degree of strata, and collegiate athlete further separates the groups.

level measurement.

descriptions of the measures taken in a clearly defined sample group. There does not
appear to be any question, research, or participant bias.
