Summary of Chosen Academic Source

I chose to use the first source I found for my research paper.

Sung, Connie. "Exercise, Diet, and Stress Management as Mediators Between Functional Disability and Health-Related Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis." Exercise, Diet, and Stress Management as Mediators Between Functional Disability and Health-Related Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis. Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin, 5 Apr. 2012. Web. 29 Oct. 2014.

The main objective of the study that was done was to examine the mediational and moderational effect of diet, exercise, and stress management on the relationship between functional disability and health-related quality of life. This study focused on 215 participants with multiple sclerosis (MS). According to this study, exercise was found to be a moderator between functional disability and health-related quality of life. Exercise had a stronger effect on the health-related quality of life with those of lower functional disability rather than ones with higher functional disability. Health-realted quality of life helps in many ways including: prolonging life, better employment options, stress relief, and family related topics.
