This was accomplished by comparing and contrasting teambuilding programs, such as those sponsored by Project Adventure, with information regarding the benefits of activity analysis.

Two male and six female college students who were enrolled in an intermediate Sivananda yoga class voluntarily participated in this study. Yoga classes lasted 105 minutes and were offered twice a week for eight weeks; participants had to attend at least 50% of the classes. One male and six female participants had their physical fitness tested after the first week of yoga training and again five days after the final yoga class. Aspects of physical fitness tested included: body composition, flexibility, muscular strength, and muscular endurance.

Additionally, the study examined the effects of family structure and selected socioeconomic factors on perceived parental involvement. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 66 students attending grades 5 and 7 in a rural New York school.The questionnaire contained content scales from two standardized instruments: the Parent-Child Relationship Inventory (PCRI, 1994), adapted for child respondents, and the Culture Free Self Esteem Inventories (CFSEI-3, 2002).

More specifically the ability of the Full 90 Select head guard to attenuate the impact force of a size 5 soccer ball traveling at 8.67 m/s measured after a single impact, after repetitive impacts, and after the head guard had been soaked in water. The soccer ball was dropped onto a force plate or onto the head guard mounted onto the force plate. A video camera recorded the ball drop and impact at 120 images per second. The peak impact force transmitted through the head guard to the force plate was measured. Data from the digitized video recording was used to compute the impact velocity of the ball. The performance of the soccer head guard was also evaluated using impact tests specified by the NOCSAE standards for certifying lacrosse helmets. In these tests the head guard was mounted onto a head form, dropped from heights of 30, 48, and 60 inches, and the peak resultant acceleration and severity index was measured.
