Description

The question about the reasons why people stop exercising is a valuable one to pursue. Children are constantly running, playing, and being active in sports and other activities. As they age and leave elementary and high school, many people seem to become inactive. The first step to finding the cause for this inactivity will be done in my research in the library and on the Intemet where I will look at scientific journals that have many articles on this subject. Then, to find out why students at Minnesota State University stopped being actively engaged in exercise, I am going to use a random sample of 100 students and have them fill out the exercise survey found on the website: www.straws.com/exercise. which addresses the question of why people stop exercising. This survey will also be given to ICQ adults who are in the work force. The key of the study will be to discover why people stop exercising after they finish their secondary education. If they still exercise, their reasons for continuing to exercise could be beneficial for motivating sedentary people.
