Proposal
The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of exercise adherence of undergraduate students, after they had completed a required physical activity course. Our study is relevant because Cedarville University requires all undergraduate students to complete a physical activity course entitled "Physical Activity and Healthy Living." As a result of our semester long study, we found that most people who took the course were not able to maintain the level of fitness that they had achieved during the time of the course. This information was presented to faculty of the Department of Allied Health.
