Final Post:Reflection

To address the needs of psychology and kinesiology, especially in the area of exercise, I can see Academic blogging as a effective way to further academic inquiry. I used a blog as one of my sources in this project, and found one of the most interesting pieces of information that I used. If other people looked and cited my blog in their research, or simply just for their own interest, they would find out all about the beneficial effects of exercise in their own lives and maybe contribute some of their own experiences. The main point that came out of this paper was that kinesiologists and psychologists need to perform further research on exercise and its effects on psychological well being and to relay the current information to the general public. This blog and other blogs similar to it are some ways to inform the public of the research these two fields have done and continue to do. Academic blogging is a good way to inform people of information germane to your own topic or field of study, and also to ask questions of whether there is more or conflicting information that needs to be covered. It also allows people to pick out new academic questions when they read a blog. For example, in conducting research, it was found that elder people respond more to exercise cognitively than other generations and increase braingrowth dramatically. This has major implications if someone wanted to further research this and make a new research question that hasn't been thought of before. Overall, this blogging assignment has helped to further my own knowledge about blogging and the topic at hand through continually posting new research and interesting findings or questions. It has also helped in learning about other completely different topics and fields of study when commenting on and reading other blogs by other students, and proved to be very interesting.

In the future, I do not thing that i have any more plans for my blog. I may post once in awhile if new research comes to my attention regarding exercise and psychology, but I will probably be busy and not post. However, I will try to be aware of these two fields and am trying to pursue a career in them, meaning i will probably learn a great deal about new information on exercise and psychology. I have no comments on any of my posts so far so I have not really been getting any feedback, but posting them has been enough for me and whoever reads them will learn which makes me happy. I hope to post again at least once, and if anyone has any questions just write them in a comment.
