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 ...
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) ...
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 ...
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® ...
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 ...
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 ...
A randomized cross-over study of the quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation among females performing 30:2 and hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2009-07-07)
Background: Hands-Only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is recommended for use on adult victims of witnessed out-of-hospital (OOH) sudden cardiac arrest or in instances where rescuers cannot perform ventilations while ...
Surface Electromyographic Amplitude-to-Work Ratios During Isokinetic and Isotonic Muscle Actions
(National Athletic Trainers’ Association, Inc., 2006)
Context: Isokinetic and isotonic resistance training exercises
are commonly used to increase strength during musculoskeletal
rehabilitation programs. Our study was designed to examine the
efficacy of isokinetic and ...
