MRI: Acquisition of State-of-the-Art Laboratory Body Composition Assessment Equipment for Enhancing Scientific Inquiry of Students in a Minority-Serving Institution

Gibson0521150本提案中要求的设备融合了技术、科学原理和数学模型，可以在运动科学课程中为学生提供实践经验。由于该机构的几何位置，该设备还支持少数民族群体身体成分评估的研究。如果获得许可，每年大约有60名运动科学专业的学生可以通过课程、实验室经验、研究项目和学生论文来使用这种拟议的设备。它还将促进学生接受高等教育。通过这项研究，可以为被研究群体确定一个新的身体成分数学模型。

Gibson0521150The equipment requested in this proposal integrates technology, scientific principles, and mathematical models that could provide students hands-on experience in exercise science classes. Because of the geometrical location of the institution, this equipment also supports research of body composition assessment in minority groups. About 60 students in exercise sciences per year would be able to access this proposed equipment, if granted, through course, lab experience, research projects, and student theses. It would also promote students for advanced education. A new mathematical model of body composition for the under-studied group could be identified through this research.
