This source explains and studies eating disorder health related quality of life and exercise in college females. The purpose was to study eating disorder specific quality of life and symptoms and their relationship to exercise behavior among college women. Results found exercise may help those suffering by improving psychological aspects of quality of life. This source is important because we can learn what contributes to the overall culture around Florida State. With more women working out we can possibly say that this leads to healthier relationships and environments because women who exercise have better psychological aspects of quality of life. We can learn how exercise may make us subconsciously better off mentally, making for healthier living environments. PAULINE, JEFFREY S. "Physical Activity Behaviors, Motivation, and Self-Efficacy among College Students." College Student Journal 47.1 (2013): 64-74. Print. This study was to find out the base level of physical activity in young adults on college campuses and the factors that contribute. These factors include

2 motivation and efficiency factors. The purpose was how to use this information to develop programs targeted at these young adults. I think this source will be very beneficial in answering questions pertaining to gender. It has many statistics and survey results that are relevant to college fitness and may provide answers to why men and women sometimes go about things so differently in a fitness setting. Reed, Julian A., and D. A. Phillips. "Relationships between Physical Activity and the Proximity of Exercise Facilities and Home Exercise Equipment used by Undergraduate University Students." Journal of American College Health 53.6 (2005): 285-90. Print. The article aims to show the relationships between physical activity and how it is related to proximity of fitness facilities. The survey also took into account the effects of having a home gym environment. This source will be useful in that it can give us a better idea of what factors contribute to students deciding how much to participate in fitness around campus. I hope this source will give a better insight into why there is a decline as students age. Though they may live farther from the gym is this the only factor contributing to their lack of involvement or is there more? Salvatore, Jessica, and Jeanne Marecek. "Gender in the Gym: Evaluation Concerns as Barriers to Womens Weight Lifting." Sex Roles 63.7 (2010): 556-67. Print. This article examines gender in the gym, specifically the role of womens

3 weightlifting. The article gives information regarding why women exercise differently than men and why theyre less likely to lift weights. The article covers four different studies that tell how women exercise in the gym and why they choose to do what they do also while disregarding benefits from weight lifting. This page will be important because it can help facilitate the translation of the culture of a university gym and answer questions people may have concerning the differences between men and women and their goals and how they typically go about reaching them. SMITH, ROBERT A., et al. "The Effects of Resistance Training Prioritization in Ncaa Division i Football Summer Training." Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins) 28.1 (2014): 14-22. Print. This article goes into the effects of resistance training prioritization in NCAA Division 1 football summer training. The study used three different programs to test on student athletes to see which was the best fit with increases in strength and body mass in mind. This is important because it gives insight into programming difference between the normal gym goer and a high profile athlete. Also the participants being students we can learn how different ways of training can be optimal in combination with someone who is always working mentally in a school environment. We can also observe which program is best for different types of students. This also opens up a different fitness enthusiast culture to be examined among division one athletes.
