Comparison of body composition, aerobic and anaerobic fitness in competitive level soccer players with regards to position played
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-30)Body composition can be thought of in several different terms. Body Mass Index (BMI) and body fat percentage (%bf) are the two most popular. The BMI is determined from the height and weight only, but the body fat percentage ... -
A Comparison of Continuous and Intermittent Exercise Effect on Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC)
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015)INTRODUCTION: As individuals conduct exercise, the body’s oxygen consumption rate is elevated to provide the increase oxygen demanded by the working muscles. During recovery, oxygen consumption declines but remains elevated ... -
COMPARISON OF ISOKINETIC AND JUMPING KNEE TORQUES
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonBiomechanics Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016)INTRODUCTION: Isokinetic movements occur at a fixed angular velocity, regardless of torque applied by the subject. Isokinetic testing has been correlated with field tests and clinical predictions such as recovery from ... -
A COMPARISON OF MEDIAN NERVE COMPRESSION SYMPTOMS BETWEEN FIRST-YEAR AND FOURTH-YEAR KINESIOLOGY STUDENTS

Hamilton Department of Kinesiology. The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington Texas 76019 BACKGROUND The ... -
THE COMPARISON OF MUSCLE ACTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE IN A NEUTRAL AND SUPINATED GRIP BICEP CURL
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonBiomechanics Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016)BACKGROUND: When performing a bicep curl, there are many muscles that must activate in order to achieve this motion much like any other body part. Changing the hand formation from a supinated to a neutral grip can change ... -
Comparison of Treatments for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015)Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is related to pain that follows an unfamiliar eccentric exercise that causes damage to the skeletal muscle (Hilbert, et al. 2003). The pain typically appears within the first 24 hours ... -
