Differences In Depression, Anxiety, And Life Satisfaction Between Intercollegiate Athletes, Intramural Participants, And Non-Athletes, Megan Wilson
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
It is widely supported that participation in athletics is positively correlated with increased overall health. However, some research indicates that participation in increased levels of competition is positively correlated with higher levels of depression and anxiety. This means, that if compared, athletes competing nationally or internationally would report higher levels of both depression and anxiety than athletes competing at the intercollegiate level. Research indicates that this could be caused by increased amounts of pressure, personal cost, and expectation.
This study examines potential differences between intercollegiate, intramural, and non-athletes in these areas on a college campus. The first hypothesis is that …

The Implications Of Different Types Of Diet And Exercise On Human Health, Bethanne C. Clayton
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
There is need for enhanced prevention and treatment methods to combat sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and chronic disease by investigating the impact of specific exercise modalities and dietary factors on human health. The purposes of this study were: 1) to assess self-selected and perceived exercise intensity during High-Intensity Functional Training (HIFT) between males and females and to determine variables that predict self-selected exercise intensity (%VO2max) and/or perceived intensity (RPE) and 2) to investigate the impact of obesity on skeletal muscle metabolism in response to lipid oversupply by analyzing the responses of genes linked with fatty acid oxidation and inflammation in lean …

The study aimed to investigate the food safety practices of HACCP and ISO2200 in food establishments in Tanzania, focused on knowledge (awareness) and management practices of food safety systems. The research randomly surveyed 200 food establishments from three regions in the country; only 113 managers completed the survey. Research conducted face-to-face by questioning knowledge (employees and managers), management practices (ISO 22000, HACCP and prerequisites programs, GMP and SSOP), and demographic information. Employees indicated to have more knowledge on the use of GMP (64.3 %) than HACCP (22.9%) and ISO22000 (15.4%) and training of employees was GMP (73.9 %), ISO22000 (19.2 …
Examining The Relationship Between Training Environment And Muscle Dysmorphia Symptoms, Michelle F. Bubnis
Examining The Relationship Between Training Environment And Muscle Dysmorphia Symptoms, Michelle F. Bubnis
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) is characterized by preoccupation with muscularity. Although there is a growing body of research concerning MD, there is a lack of research concerning the potential role exercise training environment has on the clinical features of MD. The purpose of this study was to compare MD symptomology in traditional strength-trained (TRAD) individuals to individuals training in communal high intensity functional training environments (HIFT). Participants were recruited from both types of facilities. Participants (N=376) completed online (Qualtrics) demographics survey and Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory (MDI). One-way ANOVA compared the effect of training environment on MDI scores among HIFT, TRAD, both …
