Where Operation Vet Fit and The Citadel Military College collaborate to investigate the relationship between Physical Exercise and Anxiety, Depression, Affect and Pain. To improve national security and mental health outcomes.

You are being asked to participate in a research study to look at the possible relationship between regular physical exercise and affect, anxiety, depression and pain. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete a set of online surveys every month. This study has no known risks outside of those typical of regular physical exercise. In exchange for your participation your professor may award credit towards accompanied assignments. You may experience health benefits by participating in regular physical exercise. You will also be making a contribution to the information known about the impact of exercise on affect, anxiety, depression and pain which may help prevent suicide and benefit others in the future. Your participation in this research is completely voluntary. You may also stop your participation at any time. If you do not want to participate or withdraw from the study early, there will be no penalty. This study seeks Citadel participants enrolled in the Tactical Strength and Conditioning program of study and others at the Citadel. Only Operation Vet Fit (OVF) will keep a record of all surveys in a secure database. Only the Operation Vert Fit researcher will know the identity of study participants survey data.

Only OVF will maintain your identifiable information such as name and contact information indefinitely and may contact you for further follow up research. If you feel that you have been injured as a direct result of participating in the study, or if you have any other questions about your participation, please contact Daniel R. Gaita, MA, LMSW at 203-994-2987 or via email: dan@operationvetfit.org Your completion of this survey means that you understand the information presented, and that you want to participate in the study.

We hope our findings can improve both mental health and national security outcomes.
