Research on Psychological Health Presented by Movement Science Major

York College Senior and Movement Science Major Stephon Baldeo presented his winning abstract "Acute Effect of Yoga on Psychological Health Changes Following Chronic Yoga" at the fall conference of the American College of Sports Medicine - Greater New York Regional Chapter (ACSM-GNYRC)as part of the Conference's undergraduate abstract competition. His poster presentation came in second place, with 68 points --only one point behind the first-place winner! His research, which found that "quiet mindful activities lead to significant psychological health improvements," contributes to the important growing body of research exploring the impact and intersection of physical activity and mental well-being.
