One difference between the two is that the experiment itself. For Carruth and Taylor, they focus on people performing in aerobic exercise of jogging and walking for 20 minutes and calculate their anxiety levels. As for Barger and Motl, they direct their focus on mood changes and how that applies when performing in some kind of exercise. Another difference between the two is that Carruth and Taylor has their own results by conducting their own experiment using a control and experimental group of 24 undergrad students, using accurate and current results to prove their theory of aerobic exercise decrease state anxiety of a college student. On the other hand, Carger and Motl pulls out results from past experiences that uses the POMS and creates a table showing overall results for each category and which sub scale did the participants decrease the most …show more content…
In high school, while running cross country and track, I will get stressed out once in a while but staying active with running helps me prevent that. Typically between each season, I would take two weeks off of any exercise so my body could recover to train for the next. Coincidentally, my two weeks off lies around the same as our semester final exams, which is also the most stressful time of the semester. I would still perform my best on each exam, but it is aggravating freaking out about the fact of taking it and fearing I would fail. I am currently majoring in secondary education, so I will be teaching high school mathematics, hopefully, when I graduate from NCC. I can easily apply this applications towards my field because the high school students will be stressed out with all the homework assignments, exams, and projects that is thrown at them, just like me. To promote the theory of this study, I would encourage my students from the beginning to get into some exercise routine on a regular basis. Throughout the semester while teaching, I will possibly stop my lecture and have my students stretch out and do some jumping jacks just to get their blood flowing through the brain more and retain their attention towards the lecture. When it comes to close to the final exams period, I would still encourage kids to continue taking
