    • The Effect of Lactate Buildup as an Energy Substrate during a Short-Duration, High-Intensity Run of 400-m and a Medium Run of 800-m on UTA Kinesiology Students 

      Krnjajic, Davor
      Lactic acid is a metabolic byproduct of the anaerobic glycolysis energy system present in blood and muscle. Some research indicates that lactic acid is a marker of fatigue during short duration exercise due to its dissociation ...

    • The Effect of Post Activation Potentiation on an Isometric Bicep Contraction 

      Mistry, Nickesh (Department of Kinesiology, the University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, the University of Texas at Arlington, Fall, 2013)
      INTRODUCTION: Post activation Potentiation (PAP) is a new concept that has a need for further research. The performance of a muscle depends on the historic activity of that muscle. The concept of PAP is activating the ...

    • Effect of Pre-Workout Supplementation on Aerobic Endurance 

      Wilson, Mary-Catherine (Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015)
      INTRODUCTION: Pre-workout supplements are meant to improve exercise performance by increasing power, focus, endurance, and reaction time. Cellucor C4 Extreme is a popular pre-workout supplement containing multiple ingredients ...

    • THE EFFECT OF WARM-UP TECHNIQUES ON FOOT, ANKLE AND LOWER LEG STABILITY IN A COLLEGE-AGE POPULATION 

      Laine, S (2014)
      Common warm-up techniques attempt to prepare the body for tasks that may require higher physiological response. The increase in temperature with warm-ups tends to speed nerve conduction velocity, attenuate muscle spindle ...

    • The Effect of Wearing Compression Garments on Responses to Submaximal Exercise 

      Moslemi, Shayan
      The aim of this study was to determine whether or not wearing compression garments has an effect on heart rate, blood pressure, blood lactate levels, and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) during submaximal exercise.

    • The Effect Oral Quercetin Supplementation Has on the Capacity of Exercise
