Tom and Kelly’s Findings

Findings for Kelly

1. The act of recording information about your food does make you more conscious of the decisions you are making.  We addressed this a bit in class and it was very obvious to us that it was true in this type of personal data collection project.
2. Kelly actually enjoyed the project and felt better overall towards the end.
3. Kelly was very successful in reducing sugar intake throughout the duration.  We did not even have to make incremental progress.  It helps to pick a goal that you really want to achieve!

Findings for Tom

1. Back pain cannot be solved through stretching alone; it is a multifaceted problem.
2. Project was very one dimensional and had no easily measurable/quantitative outcome aside from increased flexibility (-4 to +2 on the V-sit).  However, this was not really the purpose.  Maybe should have selected a project with a directly measurable purpose.
3. Back pain was reduced, but this may also be due to playing less basketball.
