munity that provides students with an onsite fitness facility and educational material -- including a required course on healthy living. Students in all three groups achieved similar levels of physical activity, with around 56 percent meeting the recommended three bouts of exercise weekly. Compared to how they ate at home, the students reported eating the same amount or less of the healthy foods examined. Students in the Living and Learning Center reported eating even less of these healthy foods. The findings suggest that school and college health educators should consider providing students with tools to "internalize that fitness = exercise = healthy food," and to find ways for them to eat healthy in our grab-and-go world.

Alice K. Lindeman, associate professor in the Department of Applied Health Science in IU's School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, will discuss the findings Sunday, Oct. 26. Lindeman can be reached at 812-855-6437 and lindema@indiana.edu.

Co-authors include Carol Kennedy-Armbruster and Jeanne Johnston, Department of Kinesiology.
