The Effects of Appearance and Facial Expression on Task Compliance

The purpose of our study was to analyze how dress and facial expression influences the task compliance of strangers. In order to complete our study, we went around University of Oregon, approaching strangers and asking them to take a picture of us. We compared how both casual and formal wear, and smile and no smile influenced strangers’ compliance to our request. Results of our study indicated that as a whole, formal wear resulted in strongest compliance.

Fish Oil Supplementation and Asthma

The purpose of this presentation is to review literature surrounding fish oil and its influence on asthma and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. The omega-3 fatty acids present in fish oil have been shown to reduce inflammation and because of this unique characteristic, research has been conducted to see just how fish oil supplementation may be used to counteract the symptoms of asthma, and ultimately reduce bronchial inflammation. This presentation looks in depth at some of the research that has been conducted in regards to this subject and considers whether or not fish oil is a viable solution to bronchoconstriction.

The Effects of Aerobic Exercise on the Heart

The goal of our study is to find the correlation between physical exercise and the likelihood of heart-related disease. We will be looking at a combination of large-scale comparisons between lifestyle and heart health and personal studies. The personal studies will include cross-sectional data, comparing blood pressure, heart rate, and BMI with representatives of sedentary, moderately active, and extremely active lifestyles. Furthermore, we will collect time series data by tracking the change in heart rate and blood pressure as a person with a classified sedentary lifestyle does a minimum of American Heart Association requirements.
