The student clearly states the independent and dependent variables in the research question, identifying basketball experience as the independent variable and average reaction time as the dependent variable. However, the research question lacks a description of the method of analysis, which should include how reaction time will be measured. The student provides a well-structured background theory relevant to the research question and offers a clear explanation of the techniques used for measuring the variables. Additionally, the sampling technique is thoroughly explained, including criteria for participant selection. While the student identifies and addresses controlled, safety, and ethical issues, there is a need to discuss environmental issues more comprehensively, as this aspect is currently lacking. Overall, the methodology is described in detail, allowing for reproducibility without irrelevant information.
