An Empirical Evidence Of The Impact Of Education On Poverty, Angeline M. Pogoy, Imelda C. Montalbo

CNU Journal of Higher Education

This study analyzed the impact of tertiary education on the quality of life on the families of selected CNU student assistants living below the poverty threshold after successfully completing their teacher education degrees in the university. A tracer analysis revealed that among the personal, social and demographic characteristics considered, the graduates‘ level of self-esteem strongly determines their contribution to alleviating their families‘ poverty condition. Educating a poor student who possesses strong belief in his capacity to help his family indeed significantly enhances the prospect of alleviating his family from the clutches of poverty.

The Relationship Between Middle School Students' Perceptions Of Physical Activity, Student Engagement, And Academic Achievement, Jeremy D. Moretti

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Physical activity is important, and many adolescents are not meeting the recommendation that youth participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week (CDC, 2011).

This study examined the relationship between middle school students' perceptions of physical activity and student engagement they relate to academic achievement among 179 middle …

Cultural Diabetes, Keri E. Noll

Through a series of interviews with close friends and observational analysis of each state, I came to learn something very important about health: our food …

Step Test Performance And Risk Of Stress Fractures Among Female Army Trainees, David N. Cowan, Sheryl A. Bedno, Nadia Urban, Dara S. Lee, David W. Niebuhr

United States Army: Publications

Background: Stress fractures and other musculoskeletal injuries are major sources of morbidity among female military trainees. Several risk factors have been postulated, particularly pre-existing fıtness, usually assessed with post-entry run time for ≥ 1.0 mile.

Purpose: Physical fıtness is not formally evaluated prior to Army entry. If a valid and simple test that identifıed women at increased risk of stress fracture were available and could be applied prior to entry, it would facilitate cost– benefıt studies of deferral or interventions. These analyses were undertaken to determine if a 5-minute step test conducted before entry identifıed women at increased …
