Option 1

 * Article title: Weight cutting
 * Article Evaluation: The article doesn't seem to have a definite relevance to the topic. It seems to not talk much about how someone would cut weight but more about how cutting weight is used in combat sports. The article is neutral, but around the idea of weight cutting in combat sports which should not be the main point of discussion. Each claim is cited with a reliable source. There needs to be more of a focus on ways to cut weight and also more discussion on the risks of cutting weight.

Option 2

 * Article title: Progressive Overload
 * Article Evaluation: The article seems to have relevance to the topic. The scientific principles section does a nice job of explaining what exactly progressive overload is and why it works the way it works. The article is for the most part neutral, the section where it seems to gravitate away from the main point is in the history section. The history portion does not talk about progressive overload at all it just describes that lifting was starting to be used for rehabilitation. Each claim is cited with a reliable source.

Option 3

 * Article title: Exercise Intensity
 * Article Evaluation: The article seems to have relevance to the topic. All of the sections explain intensity and it's variables, as well as, explaining how it varies person to person. The article is neutral, staying around the key components of exercise intensity. Each claim is cited with a reliable source. The big issue with this article is when they are describing intensity levels there is very little description of the why these various exercises cause different metabolic measurements, as well as, what exactly theses metabolic measurements mean.

Option 4

 * Article title: Metabolic window
 * Article Evaluation: The article seems to have relevance to the topic. The main discussion going on is the use of protein and carbs before and after physical exercise. Although there is a description of how both of those macronutrients should be used pre and post workout there are some faults within the use of their research within the article. They talk about how carbs do not have as much of a use in these particular roles because there is a supposed lack of research, but I know that there is an importance in the use of carbs for fuel. Not all claims are cited, especially the ones that are talking about the use of carbs.

Option 5

 * Article title: Diabetes and exercise
 * Article Evaluation: The article seems to have relevance to the topic. The article is not well cited which leads issues within the summarization of the information. Within the Studies section of the article since there's very little information retrieved for the topic they are talking about. The use of some more sources talking about how exercise improves cases of diabetes would be beneficial.
