International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

PURPOSE:

It has been evident that on average college students experienced excess weight gain as they transited from high school. The objectives of this study were to qualitatively explore college students’ perceived barriers and facilitators to maintaining a healthy bodyweight and identify the key modifiable factors underlying unhealthy behaviors.

METHOD:

The study employed photovoice (PV), a qualitative research method, in undergraduate students in South Texas. Participants took pictures and wrote descriptions of three perceived barriers and three facilitators to maintaining a healthy body weight; they were then asked to choose one of each for discussion. Eight focus groups were conducted …

Effects Of Bolus Vs. Metered Rehydration Rates On Fluid Retention And Hydration Efficiency Using 150% Fluid Replacement., Jared R. Graham, Tiffany Newcomb, Nathan Frischman, Eric Jones Ph D

Effects of Bolus vs. Metered Rehydration Rates on Fluid Retention and Hydration Efficiency using 150% Fluid Replacement. Authors: Jared Graham (Masters), Tiffany Newcomb (Masters), Nathan Frischman (Undergraduate), Eric Jones (Ph D) Department of Kinesiology and Health Science Stephen F. Austin State University Nacogdoches TX. 75962 Purpose: This study assessed differences in urine production using bolus vs. metered ingestion fluid consumption during post-exercise rehydration. Methods: Using light to moderate activity in an environmentally controlled chamber (35°C), 9 male subjects were dehydrated by ~ 2% body weight. Following dehydration, counterbalanced rehydration trials (water) were performed in which two different methods of rehydrating; …
