Based on my survey results, the
male specimen over estimated how much protein, weight training, and aerobic
training a person should have. The females tended to under estimate these
numbers. This is understandable because males consume protein in loads and want
it to get “swole”. Males also lift more often than females in high school,
therefore the days a week to weight train are overestimated. Most people
thought that a banana contained the most fiber; however, the correct answer was
raspberries. There was no variation based on gender for this category, and I do
not understand why someone would choose banana, that obviously has the most
potassium not fiber. Males also projected a higher consumption of water than
females. Mostly the males answered in higher numbers for exercise and nutrients
and females answered lower. When I asked what people do to maintain a healthy
lifestyle, almost everyone said they exercise and try to eat healthy. This is
good to know students are maintaining a good lifestyle. When I asked how
students could change their lifestyle to make them healthier, many answered “eat
more fruit”, or “watch less TV”. These are good answers because they understand
what needs to be changed to become healthier and happier.
