THE PROGRAM
Pilot Test
Results Summary
Two pilot programs
were conducted to determine the short-term effects of a comprehensive,
integrated approach to physical and mental conditioning and proactive health
management.
The programs consisted of two groups of teen-age athletes
participating in intense fitness and cognitive training, lectures, readings,
chiropractic adjustments, and taking nutritional supplements for at least one
month. The physical training included endurance, strength, agility, and balance
exercises; the cognitive training included exercises using a computer
controlled, interactive metronome.
Quantitative physical,
physiological, and cognitive measures, and athlete ratings, were collected
before, and at the end of, each program. These measures included height,
weight, arm and leg circumference, heart rate, blood pressure, lean body and
fat mass, cognitive functioning, and rating surveys by the athletes, their
parents and the Program Doctor. Measures collected during the program included
metronome response time and tri weekly self-assessments. Daily diet habits were
also recorded.
Although the two programs differed slightly in measures
taken, physical exercises, and duration, both programs resulted in significant
improvements in fitness, timing, cognition, and subjective impressions.

report is an overview of the two pilot programs and their results.
