- Both exercise and nutrition are popular discussion topics, however, peer-reviewed journal articles are rarely utilized as a source of discussion. Often, discussion of the scientific basis for certain exercise and nutrition practices is driven by viewing content from popular influencers, blogs, medical professionals, or researchers. This practice may be popular because these individuals/groups may be perceived as having enough credibility to provide guidance on such topics. Our group hopes to encourage students to synthesize opinions and ideas about exercise and nutrition by directly reading peer-reviewed journal articles in addition to other resources.
- With a vibrant community of students who enjoy use of the both the facilities and exercise/nutrition services offered through the Ohio State University as well as a large community of student researchers affiliated with exercise or nutrition research, our group hopes to develop a sense of community among students from a variety of different backgrounds.
- Presentational skills are of utmost importance for students from a variety of majors. Many opportunities exist for presentation within the Ohio State University, however, not all opportunities are in low-stakes and stress-free environments. Our group provides a low-stakes and stress-free environment for students who share interests in exercise or nutrition.
