My project is going to be done at the Student Recreation
Complex (SRC) at Arizona State University on the Tempe Campus. Although there
are many other great places to evaluate on campus, I decided to evaluate the
SRC because I feel it offers many resources to students. Being at the
University can be excruciatingly stressful and many students often need a place
to relieve their stress in a positive way, either by playing sports, engaging
in circuit training, swimming or taking classes inside. This topic is really
important to me because relieving stress, being healthy and fit; are all very
crucial in a students’ life. The SRC really helps students, including myself,
by offering a place that can provide all of these things. Not only is it
beneficial in the ways I previously stated, however it is also an enjoyable
place for individuals to relax and enjoy themselves.
Many times people change their eating habits when going to college and their first worry is gaining weight because of their body image and health. In todays society it is quite evident that body image is really important and the SRC also serves as a place to become stronger, muscular, thinner, or whatever it is that someone wants to be. This is quite important because it reflects how people feel about themselves and how they perceive themselves. Students’ should not have to stress about lack of exercise or fitness, or gaining weight on top of all their other worries involving school, and the SRC eliminates that one less stress. It provides students with the tools needed in order to feel better about them selves and become their ideal image.
My plan is to transform this very broad topic into a very detailed evaluation. I plan on evaluating many different aspects of the SRC in order to paint the bigger picture of how important it really is. I want to evaluate the positive effects of physical education and how it leads to better academics and a healthier, fitter body. I also want to evaluate how exercising relieves stress. Aside from its effects, I want to separate different parts of the SRC, such as the outside field, the pool, the rooms for classes, the weight room and the exercise machines. I want to describe the purpose of these different locations are and how there is something to do at the SRC for many different people of different taste.
I found three sources that will help me with project two and evaluating the Student Recreation Complex. The first two are books and the third is a scholarly article. All three of my sources deal with the idea that fitness is very important in order to have a healthy lifestyle. The second source is quite different because it related more to pool exercises. All of these sources interest me because they will help inform me more for my project.

My only critique is to be careful when considering the age of your sources. The first source listed is from 1985 and it deals with lifestyle. I would go as far enough to venture that lifestyle today is a lot different than 30 years ago. But as long as you take that into account you should be fine. My only other caution is to make sure you establish definable criteria that you can measure. You can't just simply say something is good, you have to be able to back it up and convince your agruement. Also a lot of people seem to be doing the SRC so make sure yours stands out.
