The Effects Of Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy And Stretch On The Torque-angle Relation Of The Calf (Plantar flexor) Muscles Association With Passive Stretch Both During And After Treatment
(Kinesiology, 2007-08-23)Our objective was to assess the short-term effects of PSWD and stretch on the torque-angle relation of the calf both during and after PSWD treatment. We used a 3 X 4 and a 2 X 4 (Time X Treatment) crossover repeated measures ... -
The Acute Effects Of Active Warm-up And Passive Warm-up On Passive Tension
(Kinesiology, 2007-08-23)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of active warm-up (stationary cycling) and passive warm-up (heat pack) on the mechanical properties of the hamstring musculature in vivo. Passive tension measurements ... -
The Effects Of Bench Height And Step Cadence In Aerobic Step Dance On Force Impact And Metabolic Cost
(Kinesiology, 2007-09-17)The purpose of this investigation was threefold: to (1) determine the acute metabolic responses of simple bench step aerobics at two cadences (128 and 134 beats per minute) and two bench heights (6 and 10 inches), (2) ... -
Effects Of Concentric And Eccentric Contractions Of The Knee Extensors On Mechanical Work, Lactate Concentration, And Surface EMG
(Kinesiology, 2007-09-17)The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of eccentric and concentric muscle contractions on the frequency and amplitude of EMG, torque, blood lactate, and the amount of work done. Ten college-aged males ... -
Effects Of Age And Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Techniques On Characteristics Of Muscle Fatigue In Females Trained In CPR Administration
(Kinesiology, 2007-09-17)Cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a widely popular and recommended assessment and intervention technique for life threatening conditions resulting from cardio-pulmonary disorders. As per the American Heart Association® ... -
Can A Screening Algorithm For Obstructive Sleep Apnea Be Formulated From Maximal Exercise Test Variables?
(Kinesiology, 2008-04-22)Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to compare the cardiopulmonary and electrocardiography exercise testing responses of overweight individuals between one group, at low-risk (LR) for developing OSA, versus ... -
Comparison Of Oxygen Consumption On Different Brands Of Elliptical Trainers In The Development Of A Metabolic Prediction Equation
(Kinesiology, 2008-08-08)Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of elliptical trainer brand on gas exchange data as well as to develop separate equations that are specific to certain brands. Methods: Twenty-three ... -
Ground Reaction Force Profiles In ACL Reconstructed Female Athletes
(Kinesiology, 2008-08-08)Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has become a global topic of research, as the number of injuries is staggering and continues to increase each year because the underlying elements contributing to this injury ... -
Effect Of Delivery Modes On Physical Activity Levels: Face-to-face Vs. Online
(Kinesiology, 2011-07-14)The purpose of this study was to determine physical activity levels in students enrolled in a walk/jog class that was delivered online and in a traditional face to face environment. Differences in voluntary exercise intensity ... -
The Effects Of A 15 Week Exercise Intervention On Fitness And Postural Control In Older Adults
(Kinesiology, 2012-04-11)Falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in older adults, and often lead to adverse changes in confidence and lifestyle that trigger further declines in postural control. Decreased fitness is associated with poor ... -
A Comparison Of Two Diabetic Education Programs Designed To Treat Adult Onset Diabetes Mellitus
(Nursing, 2014-12)The purpose of this study was to compare the diabetic education programs of two certified diabetic dietitians, one with heavy focus on diet and the other with focus on exercise, over 6 months to determine which program was ... -
Skeletal Muscle Oxidative Capacity in the Elderly
(2018-05-04)Age is the greatest risk factor for chronic disease and is associated with a marked decline in functional capacity and quality of life, with loss of skeletal muscle function regarded as a key contributing factor. While the ... -
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 ... -
Racial Disparity in Cardiovascular Disease and Oxidative Stress in African American Women
(2018-08-10)ABSTRACT Several studies have demonstrated that African Americans (AA) exhibit elevations in systemic oxidative stress compared to Caucasian Americans (CA). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) have been identified ... -
