As a sports enthusiast and an advocate for healthy lifestyle, I always try to stay active and on the move through cardiovascular activities such as jogging, basketball, or flag football. I also try to stay in the weight room every now and then to get in my resistance training to help maintain my muscle and not look too much out of shape as I get older. Once of the many topics of discussion as far as supplementation to exercising that I have come across is whether whey protein or soy protein is better for you. From my general understanding by reading the nutrition labels and light research on the web both helps with building lean muscle, just in different ways. This boils down to the amount of protein in the servings and how it is absorbed in the body. My reasoning for doing this research is so I can not only find out what works best for me but also to be able to explain the differences between the two to friends and others who may have questions about it. Research will have different approaches, views and ideas involved that researchers can use to come to a conclusion about a problem. Philosophical worldviews can be defined as “a basic set of beliefs that guide action” (Creswell, 2013). These views arise from discipline orientations, student advisor/mentor inclinations, and past research experiences which lead to a qualitative, quantitative or mixed method approach in research. The four types of worldviews widely known are postpositivism, constructivism, transformative and pragmatism. The worldview I will be bringing to the study will be of pragmatism. With pragmatism instead of the researcher focusing on methods, there is an emphasis on the research problem and use all approaches available to understand the problem (Creswell, p. 10). With the study that will be done on the differences in types of protein there will be a need for quantitative methods
