Push-Up Challenge

Order Description
This project is designed as a 28-day Cross-Over Study. Each student will serve as their own experimental and control group. Within this Cross Over Study each student will choose only 1 OPTION to carry out. You will be given 6 Options to choose from below.

At the end of the study, each student will write a paper highlighting the experiment.

For ALL 6 Options, here is the basic procedure for the 28 day study:
Choose an option

For the next 28 days, Measure the designated specified activity relative to your option
DAYS 1-7, measure the desired activity (A)

DAYS 8-21 add the prescribed treatment or intervention (B)

DAY 22 remove the prescribed treatment or intervention (C)

DAY 22-28 continue measurements

DATA is to be collected everyday and recorded

PLOT the data you collected in a GRAPH
i. X-axis will be the independent variable (hint, times in units of days)

ii. Y-axis will be dependent variable

iii. Compute a mean for DAYS 1-7 (A), 8-21(B), 22-28 (C)
1. A–initial baseline

2. B—treatment

3. C—final baseline
Calculate % change
Formula for initial baseline % change:

%change= (treatment mean- initial baseline mean)/treatment mean *100
Formula for final baseline % change:

%change= (treatment mean- final baseline mean)/treatment mean *100
