Abstract

This research aims to track and assess lifestyle and personal health behaviors over a semester in order to gain a better understanding of how daily routines impact overall well-being. Ten variables are being monitored, including weight, caffeine intake, sleep duration, napping, exercise frequency, homework hours, Instagram screen time, vitamin use, practicing miles, and mood evaluations on a 5-point scale. I intend to identify trends and relationships between these factors through consistent data collection throughout the semester, such as the effects of sleep and caffeine on mood, motivation, and productivity.

As a student-athlete and health science major, this initiative gives me the opportunity to apply my academic knowledge surrounding human performance and health to be able to actively apply it to practical settings. I hope to discover important patterns that shape the relationship between mental and physical health, daily routines, training load, and recovery. In conclusion, the goal of this study is to guide me in becoming more self-aware of my actions along with determining what helps me achieve peak performance and make better decisions in the future as I tackle the everyday challenges of being a social student athlete.
