Being a nontraditional student and a veteran gives Zachary a unique perspective on his educational experience. He is the first to attend college from his immediate family. He notes the work ethic and moral compass instilled in him by his stepfather, coaches and teachers as a major force in his return to college. He has difficulties connecting with other students due to the age gap between them, which often ranges from 8 to 12 years. Yet this provides him with the opportunity to connect with professors on a different level due to the mutual understanding of certain life experiences.
New research from Oregon State University shows that frequent, long-term instruction in physical education not only helps adolescents be more fit but also equips them with knowledge about how regular physical activity relates to good health.
“Even though high cardiorespiratory fitness achieved through regular exercise remains the goal, people need to know that exercise by itself – even one bout – is metabolically beneficial.”
Matt recommends people incorporate some type of HIIT into their regular exercise routines. He says that some of the most positive responses researchers saw were in participants doing the HIIT rather than the moderate intensity workouts. It also helped non-exercise responders become exercise responders.
Only 11 percent of those responding had implemented three primary “best-practice” recommendations for treating their student-athletes.
