Self-Regulation Paper (Can Work in Groups; including socially distant groups)
Are you in the same shape today that you were on March 15th? Can you still dunk? Are you still working out with the same weight on bench press or are you afraid to find out? Have you watched more Netflix in quarantine than was ever intended for human beings to consume? Were you more out of shape this Spring Break & summer than during any other break in your life? What’s your plan to recover yourself? Starting on October 2nd you / your socially distant group (up to 4 people max) will have the opportunity to improve your health in quarantine… for a grade.
For 6 weeks you will track your daily behavior in a health-relevant area of your choice to see if you can improve/change your habits. You will be responsible for writing a 5-page paper (in APA style: Times New Roman, 12-pt font, first line indent, heading levels).
Your paper should be anchored on one of the health behavior models or other major concepts we discuss through the course. It should be clear how it that applies to your 6-week health project.
You will document your “methods” (i.e., did you use an iWatch/FitBit to keep track of workouts), and your findings.
Include a section on your challenges and difficulties, and things you learned along the way.
At least 1 Figure or Table is required. Any tables/figures should come after the references section; not in the results section or body of text.
5 scholarly, peer-reviewed references required.
The title, abstract, & reference pages don’t count towards the 5 pages.
FOR 6 WEEKS, I TRACKED HOW MUCH NETFLIX I WATCHED TO SEE IF THERE WOULD BE ANY DECREASE. I WATCHED GOSSIP GIRL ON NETFLIX. IN ORDER TO MONITOR HOW MUCH I WATCHED, I USED THE "VIEWING ACTIVITY" TAB IN THE NETFLIX SETTINGS. I INCLUDED MY DATA BELOW.
