Participants:
Rajoshi: Full IRB review not needed according to Emily Page, so we don't have to worry about the deadline. Whew! Ashu thinks we should fill out the IRB forms anyway, though, just to make sure we're doing things by the book. Part of this is submitting the initial questionnaire, consent forms to the IRB. Key: what information is visible? Database security/privacy is important to building trust. Ashu: Wrote up a full description of the OWLympics under "OWLympics: The Exercise Habit" - people should read this, review it, make comments, etc. Suggestion: replace "points" with plain minutes Have the same goal for everyone: 45 minutes, 5 days/week Rajoshi - one size fits all approach to goal doesn't necessarily work, for ex. if you're primarily a runner then 45 min/day doesn't work. Rajoshi & Jingwen - points system idea Parameters: time + intensity + # of people Intensity: high, medium, low (provide a plain English description of what these mean) Low: 45 minutes (100 points) Medium: 30 minutes (100 points) High: 20 minutes (100 points) Ideal is 45 minutes/day, so goal is 500 points/week Regular attendance at the gym: bumps you to the next level Increased levels give a 10 point bump per level The time levels are minimums due to scientific support for needing given time spans to achieve change in the body. Ashu - have levels bump up Mark - have level = number of consecutive weeks with 500+ points. Have a countdown on the website corresponding to your next level upgrade Oscar - we need to make this as easy as possible to input information into the system Carrie - suggest fitness apps Ashu - these are useful because the help move away from subjective measures of intensity Hang - report on the website http://owlympics.ecg.rice.edu/ |
