The dependent variable in this scenario is the outcome or result that you are trying to measure or analyze based on the student's skateboarding activity.
Since the student goes skateboarding a few times a week, the dependent variable could be any aspect related to their skateboarding experience or its effects.
Examples of possible dependent variables could include:
1. Improvement in skateboarding skills (e.g., measured by tricks learned, levels of proficiency).
2. Physical fitness (e.g., measured by changes in endurance, strength, or flexibility).
3. Time spent skateboarding per session.
4. The number of skateboarding injuries or accidents.
5. Overall enjoyment or satisfaction with skateboarding.
6. Changes in stress levels or mood before and after skateboarding sessions.
7. Social interactions and friendships formed through skateboarding.
The specific dependent variable would depend on the research question or hypothesis you are investigating in relation to the student's skateboarding activity.
