The acute effects of a rotational medicine ball throw exercise on baseball pitching biomechanics
(2019-06-03)The ability to throw at higher velocities with proper mechanics is very advantageous for baseball pitchers to increase performance and decrease injury risk. Pitching utilizes the movement of energy through the kinetic ... -
The Effect of Acute High Phosphate Intake on Muscle Metaboreflex Activation and Vascular Function
(2018-05-04)Emerging evidence suggests that long term high consumption of inorganic phosphate (Pi) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Importantly, with the growing abundance of processed foods, dietary ... -
The effect of midsole cushioning on the kinetics, kinematics, and control of running
(2018-08-03)The incidence of musculoskeletal injuries associated with the stress of running, known as running-related injuries (RRIs), has risen in conjunction with the resurgence of running as a health-related physical activity ... -
The Effects of Knee Joint Loading on Dynamic Tasks in Individuals Several Years Post-ACL Reconstruction
(2020-06-01)Joint loading of the lower extremity is studied to identify risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and to determine limb asymmetries. Asymmetrical loading in the lower extremity during ACL reconstruction ... -
THE ROLE OF MUSCLE DAMAGE ON JOINT TISSUE
(2022-12-19)The musculoskeletal system is a highly diverse network of tissue that operates in conjunction to one other, both mechanically and biochemically. In states of disorder such as musculoskeletal disorders, this cross-communication ... -
Trunk Function in Manual Wheelchair Users in Static and Dynamic Conditions
(2020-06-04)The relationship between functional capacity and trunk control is of significant interest to a variety of people, from wheelchair sport clinicians and professionals to rehab specialists, but has proven difficult to quantify. ... -
Understanding Components of Motor Imagery Ability and the Association with Motor Proficiency in Children and Young Adults
(2020-07-13)Motor imagery (MI) refers to the imagination of a motor task without actual movement execution (Decety & Grézes, 2006) and is believed to represent one’s ability to accurately utilize forward internal models of motor control ... -
Whole Body Vibration as an Innovative Intervention to Improve Physical Function and Vascular Health within a Lifespan
(2019-09-06)Over the past several decades, technological advances in computers, transportation devices, and other automated devices have decreased the need for human locomotion and physical activity in the workplace and at home. The ...
