measures will include the President’s Challenge Adult Physical Fitness Test (PCPFN, 2012) and Borg Critical Rating (CR10, Borg, 1998). SuperTracker
at ChooseMyPlate.gov (USDA, 2012) will be utilized to monitor students’ caloric intake throughout the course of the study. Utilizing SPSS v19,
descriptive/inferential statistics will be calculated at the .05 level of significance. Sources of qualitative data will include (a) interviews/ questionnaires
focusing on students’ personal-family exercise-medical history and (b) fitness journals-nutritional logs. Qualitative data will be subject to
content analysis via the theoretical/analytical framework of Symbolic Interactionism (Blumer, 1969). Emergent common perspectives, themes,
and categories will be developed into Grounded Theory (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) describing students’ attitudes toward- and engagement in- exercise
and diet. Case histories will be constructed and all measures of pre- and posttest data will be compared to determine the effectiveness of the
PPPEP on students’ HRPF and diet. It is hypothesized that all measures of students HRPF/diet will improve as a result of participation in the PPPEP.

The purpose of these studies was to describe and interpret major events, trends, phenomenon, and the lives and times of significant individuals
in the history of sport and physical education-activity throughout the millenia. At once interesting, inspirational, edifying, and enlightening, the
stories told by the students of the course HSS 275 - History of Physical Education/Activity and Sport - speak powerfully to the transcendent nature
of sport and physical activity across all generations, cultures, and topical interests. From the lives of Jack LaLanne, the Godfather of Fitness; to Babe
Didrikson Zaharias, arguably the greatest female athlete of all time; to Baseball’s Steroid Era, to the History of Prosthetics, these original research
projects utilized an array of primary and secondary sources, including interviews, personal narrative, documents, print media, photographs, artifacts,
and vintage video to bring alive the past to teach anew life’s lessons from which all may learn.

There are many potential jobs available in the health field, and many have hopeful outlooks for the future. A few options in the health field consist
of personal training, occupational therapy, pediatric physical therapy, and orthopedic physical therapy. Personal training is a booming job industry
that instructs people on how the body works and how people can be fit. Sometimes though, due to various events and disease, the body may
become weak, and therapy is needed. Occupational therapy is another growing health career that helps people regain motor skills, reasoning,
and independence. Orthopedic and sports physical therapy can be extremely useful to reduce pain and help with recovery from surgery. Pediatric
physical therapy is used to help children with various injuries and muscle disorders. All of these different types of therapy have a potential to improve
greatly with different types of technology, such robotic treatment and Wii games. Overall, the future of these types of therapy is promising.

My Standard Symposium describes the uses and positive results of TRX training. TRX is a type of suspension training developed by the Navy SEALs.
The suspension training is a different type of workout because it builds strength while simultaneously improving flexibility, balance, and core
stability. As a part of my internship I became TRX Certified through a training course in the summer of 2011. Fortunately, as a personal trainer at
the Recplex, I had the opportunity to train my clients using TRX. I have provided results in the form of both client input on the TRX training and data
