In this report, we share our recommendations. Wellness Program Proposal A three-part proposal for an established, long-term 91 Faculty-Staff Health and Wellness Program, a Freshmen Health and Wellness Program, and a High Performance Training Clinic at 91 was submitted to President McPhee in April. These wellness programs would be headed by Mark Anshel, a member of the Committee. The currently funded program ends this summer. Over 200 fulltime faculty and staff participated in the fall and spring semesters, and 100 have enrolled for the summer. It was initially funded for only three semesters. The results for those participating have been positive. The proposal that was presented to President McPhee in April is posted on Pipeline under the Senate group Information Items 4/9. The statistical analysis from the fall participants is in this report. Health Fair The Faculty/Staff Health and Fitness Committee members volunteered to help Nursing and Multicultural Affairs with the Health Fair on April 12. Brandi Eveland-Sayers and Jennifer Caputo along with their graduate students manned a booth. They distributed the Campus Walking Trails Map that they produced through the Committee. Lisa Sheehan-Smith and her graduate students also manned a nutrition booth at the fair. Jim Balch, Jid Lee, and Annette Williams helped hand out fliers and direct providers the day of the fair. Campus Exercise Facilities A meeting was held with Charlie Gregory and the 91 Campus Recreation Center staff to investigate ways to encourage faculty and staff participation in activities there. There is a fitness program available through the Center that may be of interest to faculty and staff. It is called Get Fit, Stay Fit and is headed by Jerry Langham, fitness director. It includes exercise classes, nutrition sessions, and a trainer all for a low fee. This is a separate program from the one headed by Mark Anshel. Campus Recreation staff are willing to help with other activities that departments are interested in starting. They will work with groups of faculty to facilitate sports activities. With the expansion of the 91 Campus Recreation facilities, there will be far more access to cardiovascular and weight equipment. There is also a Campus Recreation sports complex being constructed on East Main Street that will include a walking trail around its perimeter. As a part of the Wellness Program, the swimming pool next to AMG has been the site of early morning water aerobics classes. These classes were very popular with faculty and staff. We have asked the Health and Human Sciences Department to open that pool for faculty and staff at other times. This recommendation is under consideration. Communication To communicate wellness information, a new Website has been designed for the Wellness Program by Tom Brinthaupt. The Campus Walking Trails Map is on this site. The address is  HYPERLINK "http://www.mtsu.edu/~wellness" http://www.mtsu.edu/~wellness. Communication is a problem for our campus. Many times information goes out to subscribers leaving many faculty uninformed about programs such as the Get Fit Stay Fit Program and the Health Fair. Recommendations This Committee urges President McPhee to continue the funding for the Wellness Program. Nutritional and fitness information should be provided to the campus community on an ongoing basis through the current Wellness Website. Fitness and health programs and events should be advertised in such a way that all faculty and staff are informed. Faculty and staff should be made more aware of Campus Recreation fitness opportunities and programs. Fitness programs should meet the needs of disabled participants. Murphy Center walking track hours should be published. Access to the swimming pool in AMG should be increased. Low-cost health testing on a regular basis on campus should be made available. Checking lipids, blood pressure, glucose, Body Mass Index, and percent body fat regularly is an important piece to the motivation for regular exercise. 12>OVWbc   , - : \ ~      # $ * + , 5 ?
