Research question: Is there a relationship between calcium intake and knowledge about calcium in sports science students?
Hypotheses: The 'null hypothesis' might be: H0: There is no correlation between calcium intake and knowledge about calcium in sports science students (equivalent to saying r = 0)
And an 'alternative hypothesis' might be: H1: There is a correlation between calcium intake and knowledge about calcium in sports science students (equivalent to saying r ≠ 0)
