Future projects

The Campus Athletics Research Network (CARN) is currently recruiting students to address the following research questions:

  • What role does campus recreation participation play in students who are transitioning into the University of Waterloo?
  • Is there a relationship between the perceived “attractiveness” of recreational facilities and campus recreation participation?
  • What is the relationship between campus recreation participation and overall university satisfaction?
  • What is the relationship between varsity sport participation and overall university satisfaction?
  • What outcomes (broadly defined) are associated with participation in varsity sports?
  • Are there relationships between involvement in campus recreation activities and attendance at varsity games?
  • Do personal trainers who possess standardized CanFit Pro certification differ than those with Kinesiology degrees in terms of service delivery or experiential outcomes?

The CARN also encourages student-initiated research questions and projects. Please contact Ryan Snelgrove for more information on how to submit a research proposal.
