Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey!

(It should only take about 3 minutes)

Your participation will help me complete a study of college student preferences for physical activity, a project for my HSS 226 class. 

Current literature on this topic reveals that gender plays a role in preferences for various exercise settings.  This means that men and women tend to opt for different forms of exercise when given the choice.  Further consideration shows that social physique anxiety does not seem to influence exercise preferences. 

I intend to consider these categories as well as possible motivators in the various physical activity contexts.
