简要总结
This study focuses on analyzing the data collected from participants in the Faculty/Staff Exercise Program to determine the success and quantifying the results of the program. The investigators are interested in the effectiveness of this program on multiple levels, individual and group, as it is the first of its kind - an exercise program targeting the faculty and staff at a university.
详细描述
This study focuses on analyzing the data collected from participants in the Faculty/Staff Exercise Program to determine the success and quantifying the results of the program. The investigators are interested in the effectiveness of this program on multiple levels, individual and group, as it is the first of its kind - an exercise program targeting the faculty and staff at a university. Participants were regular attendees in either a 6am or 12pm exercise program session. Data included both measures of physical health as well as cognitive health. Measures of physical health included the assessment of body fat using the skin-fold method of analysis (3-site). Cholesterol was measured via blood draw analysis. This was done at the Kent State University Exercise Physiology Laboratory by certified research staff. A 6 minute walk test was completed to measure aerobic capacity. Flexibility was assessed via the sit-and-reach test while anaerobic strength and endurance were assessed using sit-up and curl-up tests. Assessment of balance was done using a Biodex Balance System.
Assessments of cognitive health included several questionnaires that asked questions related to sleep habits, stress levels, and mood. In addition, each participant was given a MOVband to track physical activity. The device was worn during waking hours for all days of participation.The data from the MOVband was auto-uploaded to a computer program for tracking so that no manual entry was necessary.
