Investigating the Impact of Exercise on Stress Reduction in College Students

[Virtual Presenter] Hello everyone, I'm Vadwala Bansari, and today my topic is the impact of exercise on stress reduction in college students..

[Audio] College life can be demanding, with students juggling academics, social obligations, and lifestyle changes. Research has shown that regular exercise can significantly alleviate stress levels. However, understanding the specific impact of exercise on stress in college students is crucial for implementing effective support systems on campus..

[Audio] To address this issue, our research focuses on two main questions: Firstly, how does participation in a structured exercise program influence stress levels in college students? And secondly, what are the effects of varying exercise parameters, such as intensity, frequency, and duration, on stress levels among college students?.

[Audio] main goal is to study how exercise affects stress levels in college students. I'll look at how stress changes before and after they exercise, considering how hard, often, and long they exercise. Also, i want to understand how exercise helps people feel less stressed, both physically and mentally..

[Audio] I'll test this against the null hypothesis, which suggests no significant difference in stress levels before and after exercise, and the alternative hypothesis, proposing a significant decrease in stress levels post-exercise..

[Audio] MY quantitative approach involves administering pre-test and post-test surveys to measure stress levels using validated scales. Statistical analysis, including paired samples t-tests and regression analysis, will help us identify any significant changes in stress levels and explore potential moderators of the exercise-stress relationship..

[Audio] VARIABLES DEPENDENT VARIABLE SUCH AS AGE GENDER AREA OF STUDY AND Independent Variable Exercice Program Participation (structure exercice program).

[Audio] MY sample strategy entails recruiting college students through various channels. Participants will be required to wear a smartwatch equipped with sensors to track physiological parameters. MY target is to recruit 100 full-time students from both college and university settings..

[Audio] Participants will share their stress levels and personal details. They'll track their exercise using devices or notebooks. This helps us collect data on both how stressed they feel and how much they exercise.

[Audio] MY statistical analysis will focus on comparing pre-test and post-test stress scores using appropriate tests. I'll also conduct regression analysis to investigate any potential moderators affecting the relationship between exercise and stress reduction..

[Audio] Despite MY rigorous methodology, several limitations must be acknowledged. These include the potential for response bias, difficulty controlling external factors, and limitations in generalizing findings to all college students due to diverse student populations and environments..

[Audio] MY study has important implications. It could lead to better stress management programs for college students. Also, showing how exercise reduces stress may encourage more support for physical activity on campus, making students healthier and happier..
