Ashley Fecher decided to research the job outlook of an occupational therapist. Roles for this occupation include working with a client to achieve proper health, prevent injuries and help the client succeed in all everyday life activities. Occupational therapists can work with individuals of any age who are mentally, physically, developmentally or socially disabled. Ashley Fecher chose this occupation because it is in high demand, makes good money, and is a very hands-on, hardworking job that helps a variety of different people live their lives to the fullest.Jess Koney decided to research the job outlook for a Physical Therapist. The job of a Physical Therapist consists of creating rehabilitation plans for patients, keeping records for doctors, and helping those patients through the rehabilitations process, based upon their impairment. Jess chose this future occupation for herself because it is something that she has been looking at for the past couple years as a career path and wants to know all that she can about it, along with the fact that it is different from the normal desk job. It is patient oriented, hands-on, and an extremely rewarding career.Ryan Lyn decided to research the job outlook for an Athletic Therapist.

Opportunities and Future Career Goals For Our Immediate Career Positions Presenter(s): Amber M Beavers, Christina A Bortolotti, David E Reed, Kelsey L Rodgers Advisor(s): Marvin D Ganote Health and Sport Science - Course Project, 12_SP_HSS_226_01
Our presentation will display our career based objectives from the times we graduate until ten year into our future career. We will be presenting a poster as well as a double sided brochure to display our individual research about our particular career fields. These displays will show what the future will be like 2 -5 years from now when we get our first career position. We will include in our display a major impacting technology for the particular job. We will each be using a current open job position and use it as the source for our research and presentations. The presentations will include the career positions of a clinical nutritionist, sports therapist, athletic trainer, and physical therapist.

The Effectiveness of a Personalized Peer Physical Education Program (PPPEP) on the Health Related Physical Fitness and Diets of Selected College Age Students Presenter(s): Advisor(s): George M DeMarco Health and Sport Science - Course Project, 12_SP_HSS_428_01
The purpose of this major course research project is to determine the effectiveness of a Personalized-Peer Physical-Education Program (PPPEP) on the cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength/ endurance, flexibility, body composition, and diet of selected college age students (i.e., components of health related physical fitness, HRPF). During the 2012 spring Semester, students in two sections of a university level research methods course will exercise w/peers during eight (8) separate sessions. Two (2) additional sessions will be allocated for pre- and post-testing. All exercise and testing sessions will be conducted at the university’s student fitness-activity center and/or outdoor recreational facility.Divided into 10 separate teams and 4 separate conferences, students will engage in an array of specialized exercises in progressive resistance training, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and play activities at varying intensities. A quasi-experimental mixed-method research design will be utilized. Quantitative 95
