15. Methods Repeated measures/within-subjects design. 3 conditions: 1) resting in a sitting position, 2) reading-writing and 3) performing a comprehensive battery of computerized tests. Conditions randomly assigned to subjects. 45 minutes for each condition. Blood sampling at every 8 minutes. Ad libitum buffet after each condition.

19. INFLUENCE OF A SPORT-STUDIES PROGRAM ON BODY WEIGHT, PHSICAL FITNESS AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS Description of the regular program: Four 45-min (instead of 7) periods of class attendance per day Two hours per day for homework Hockey theoretical teaching for 30 to 90 min per day Physical activity (training on ice) for at least 90 min/day

22. Quick get-together A research group at Laval University in Quebec, Canada, holdsitsweekly meetings on the run. "Our directorbelieveswecanaccomplish more during a 45-minute running meeting because of fewer distractions and a more relaxed state of mind," says Mélanie Jacqmain, a Laval researcher. "Its an excellent way to combine work and exercise." And by the way, the group’s focus area is the prevention and treatment of obesity. Runner’s World March 2002, Vol 37 No 3 p. 28
