Survey

 

I am completing this project for my HSS 226 class. 

Your participation will help me investigate the relationship between body image/self-esteem and physical activity/fitness.


According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ), "Scientific evidence shows that physical activity done at a moderate-intensity level can produce health benefits ."  But it is less clear if working out or participating in other forms of physical activity is associated with how one feels about oneself.

Thank you for taking time to complete my   survey  .

The results will be posted on this website in early December.
Thank you very much for your time to
COMPLETE THE SURVEY  and check back in December for the results!

Preliminary Results: Not Yet Approved.
