First Post


My research question for the semester is “The Health Benefits of Swimming Compared to Other Forms of Exercise”

I chose this topic because I am a swimmer and am interested to know whether swimming really is a better form of exercise than running, jogging, biking, etc..

Many people are becoming more and more interested in being healthy/ in shape/ etc.., so by addressing this, it can help people decide what form of exercise that would be the most beneficial. 

I expect to find that swimmer overall is a better form of exercise. For preliminary research I have read many articles, (both in sports magazines and online) and I’ve been a swimmer for 7 years so I know from personal experience.

Most of the articles I’ve looked at have shown exactly what I’ve thought.  A few, however, have shown certain aspects which are better in other exercises, but have said that swimming has more benefits on a larger scale.
