Health study seeks women 50-75
Interested in finding out how your environment and daily activites affect your health? From now through Thanksgiving, the Department of Health and Exercise Science, University of Oklahoma Norman Campus is seeking women 50 to 75 years old to participate in a physical activity research study.
Jennifer Han, who is involved in conducting the study, said women are asked to wear an acceleromator for one week. Just like most people, I was clueless as to what an acceleromator is.
“You wear it above the hip bone, and it tells us how intense the movement is,” Han said.
Instead of just measuring how far a woman may walk any given day, this small, pager-like device measures the intensity of exercise. After the women wear the device for a week, they receive a physical activity and body composition report, and OU will also give them a $10 gift card. To participate or for more information, contact Jennifer Han or Lindsey Mallow in the Department of Health and Exercise Science, University of Oklahoma Norman Campus, at 641-1458 or physactlab@ou.edu.
