Answer 26

np

Answer 27

This topic has been brought up before, many seem to say that a Fitness Section would fit into the Health Sciences group.

Why not just post in the Health Sciences groups? The group needs a push of activity anyway.

Answer 28

And look what just got pulled outta the donkey -_-

Answer 29

@Opcode thats for the reproductive system -_- not for our abs or muscles

Answer 30

As @just_one_last_goodbye said health science is for the body such as the reproductive system as fitness is more for exercise and athletics. Two different things bud... @Opcode

Answer 31

Did someone tag me ??????

Answer 32

@Justice500 yes we want you opinion concerning this idea of a athletic section

Answer 33

So.. Whats the question ???

Answer 34

What? Health Sciences is not just for the reproductive system...
Health Sciences cover, the areas of diets, nutrition, etc.

Fitness is a suitable subgroup for Health Sciences, but not suitable to be a group alone.

Answer 35

why cant it be a group alone?

Answer 36

But think of all the things that a Fitness section could cover, PE, New exercises, work out plans, i mean come on. It's pretty simple.

Answer 37

1. The lack of interest would make it immediately a dead group.
2. Health Sciences cross into the realm of fitness so why not make it a subgroup there.

Answer 38

An exercise or sports topic would be good. Health Sciences is more for like medical things, such as cardiology and such. Exercise and sports would cover things like PE and stretching and whatever.

Answer 39

Look at all the people here who's interested in it tho. I believe it would become very popular among the students on this site and it may attract may people to come join the community of Open Study.

Answer 40

true @Goku-Kai ^_^

Answer 41

Thank you @just_one_last_goodbye *fist bump*

Answer 42

There were more than this many people interested in different language groups... A separate fitness group would most likely not attract any new users either, as there a plenty of online forums on the internet that specialize on the area.

Also to end this thread:
"Health Sciences covers fitness, nutrition, public health, physical education, and more."

Edu resource: http://www.furman.edu/academics/healthsciences/Research-Internship-Opportunities/Pages/default.aspx

Health Sciences cover the topic of fitness, there is no need to create a new group for it.

Answer 43

@Opcode but maybe it will keep users that leave daily from leaving ;) by decreasing the percentage for example if i want abs (i already have but just and example) and i get someone to work with me in this section to get me those abs im going to look for more and more ways to keep them and to make it easier not leave and then go all saggy again

Answer 44

Okay... Still how does this add to your argument for a fitness group?

Fitness is under health sciences academically.

Answer 45

That is true, but tell me why there is multiple sections for Math and languages all separate from each other? I mean you have a section for language and culture and then there's one for Spanish. Shouldn't they be under the same thing? @Opcode

Answer 46

besides i think this is a perfect idea concerning that we have problems with a user that can evade suspensions and hack other users accounts -_-

Answer 47

yes

Answer 48

1. There are no real separate groups for languages, the only reason Spanish is separate is due to it belong to a MIT OCW.

2. There are no separate mathematics groups, those are subgroups.

Answer 49

@Opcode please stop evading my question -_- will this or will not decrease the amount of users that leave OS daily

Answer 50

@mathmale @marylou004 @micahm @Monster1234

Answer 51

Looking at the statistics, it will not have any or much effect.

Notice, the to main groups of activity here are Mathematics and English. People leave when they feel like they are not being helped, etc. Creating another group, such as fitness would make the health sciences group closer to being completely dormant. There are currently way more people interested in being help in the health sciences group, rather than people wanted a fitness group.

So if you open a separate group for fitness, all the health science group members activity would decrease in that group. With decrease activity a lot more people would leave. Since there are a lot more people interested in health sciences than fitness there would be more net loss than any profitable gain.

So to be short:
Your idea would cause more people to leave, rather than bring more people in.

Answer 52

There should actually be less groups then more groups.

Answer 53

Than*

Answer 54

I agree. More people woulbe leaving and less people would be in the groups. Their is really no need to put a fitness group

Answer 55

Health sciences is kinda like a fitness. I wouldn't do it if I were you.

Answer 56

^^

Answer 57

Touche

Answer 58

O_O what is wrong with you people and my own friend betrayed me -_-

Answer 59

ok i didn't want to do this but its time to put this plan at full power

Answer 60

What is OS?

Answer 61

OpenStudy is an educational study help website...

Answer 62

I had a vision...

Of a whole world, screaming for mercy.

Everyone, tangled in... strings.

Strings...

No strings on me...

Answer 63

a learning site right? meaning students FROM a school come seeking help from this site

Answer 64

You don't really need to learn how to exercise. If they do, just go on youtube.

Answer 65

ok then and in virtual school do you know what health science talks about ONLY

Answer 66

Really? Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It is the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.

Answer 67

@elliecosme yes but you cant ask questions

Answer 68

Health sciences covers a vast area of topics. I already took the course...

Answer 69

@Goku-Kai Lol you got that from avengers.

Answer 70

We even learn a little bit of sports medicine in health sciences.

Answer 71

and health science ONLY talks about reproduction -_-

Answer 72

Not really a big deal. If you want to put a fitness than put a fitness (I am in between)

Answer 73

well @Opcode you must be getting confused with PE or something cause in health science thats not what they talk about

Answer 74

@elliecosme O_O... um...

http://oi37.tinypic.com/6431bb.jpg

Answer 75

Well you are in a virtual school... I am not sure of the framework that surrounds them.

In a public school, we learn what the state mandates. Simple as that.

Answer 76

@ellie no spmmling -_-

Answer 77

yes but the majority of OS users are from virtual school ^_^ and thats my point we dont have a coach that we can talk to like you since u go to public

Answer 78

Look I have already reasoned why a health science group covers the topic of fitness. I do not see what you are coming at. If you have a counter argument then place it forward.

Answer 79

So not worth it. Their is really no need for a fitness

Answer 80

@Opcode my counter argument is -_- "We the people of Open Study declare a fitness section"

Answer 81

@Monster1234 if your not going to use the section doesn't mean other users are going to do the same

Answer 82

Can't we all just get along?

Answer 83

Okay if you want one the just put one. Not really worth the fighting! Just put one

Answer 84

thank you ^

Answer 85

I do not make the decision on whether or not there is going to a new group. I am just a regular user...

All I am doing is saying it is better if we do not have a new group. A subgroup is fine, but a separate group is just not practicable.

Answer 86

@Opcode barely anyone goes into sub groups -_-

Answer 87

I really don't see the harm or the need.. I just am questioning why their is fight over this.

Answer 88

and most people dont know how to get into one

Answer 89

we aren't fighting @Monster1234 we are debating

Answer 90

Okay how about this. Why don't we just rename the group to "Health" and it can be all put together?

Answer 91

It would go together

Answer 92

I agree with @elliecosme

Answer 93

Well academically health sciences cover fitness so there is no need for a separate group. Why create one, when there is a huge risk?

Answer 94

Agreed.

Answer 95

I agree with just last one goodbye.
