A Survey On Eating Habits And How Often A Person Exercises...

Introduction In America today only one in three children are physically active every day. Lack of exercise is a major problem we face in society. The government has provided many statistics on physical activity, like how 80.2 million people above the age of six are physically inactive. I was really interested to see the exercise levels in busy college student’s lives. Research Objectives I decided to conduct a survey on eating habits and how often a person exercises. I wanted to see an average of how many days a week people workout or exercise. I was also curious to see how many people drink soda or pop regularly. There was so many ways I could have gone with my survey, so it was very important to think about the right questions to ask in my survey. Another thing my exercise survey had was some tough questions. One question was: If there was a table with a fruit of your choice or a fast food item of your choice which one would you choose? For that hard question I hypothesized that more than 50% would choose the fast food item. Another tough question I asked in the survey was: do you think Americas obesity problem is due to lack of exercise? I hypothesized people would most likely say yes or 75% total. For my survey I also only interviewed Wright State University students. With that being said I wanted to see out of twenty people how many have actu ally use the Wright State gym. I have heard from a lot of people that the gym is intimidating, most don’t work out there.
