Is it really getting you Jack3D?
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)More and more workout supplements are being introduced to the public without thorough testing, which is why more research is needed, especially for the supplements that are quite expensive. Jack3D is the supplement we chose ... -
The effects of hand osteoarthritis on hand grip strength
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)Hand osteoarthritis (HOA) is one of the most common joint disorders in elderly people. Osteoarthritis is known as degenerative arthritis since it is a condition in which the cartilage wears out between joints causing the ... -
The effects of N.O.-Xplode 2.0 supplementation on aerobic performance
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)The purpose of this research study was to measure and record the effects of N.O.-Xplode 2.0 supplementation on female exercisers during a VO2max test using the Bruce protocol. -
The effect of dynamic stretching on exercise performance
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at Arlington., 2012-05-31)Dynamic stretching uses speed of movement, momentum and active muscular effort to bring about a stretch. It is similar to ballistic stretching except that it avoids bouncing motions and tends to incorporate more sports-specific ... -
Effects of running shoes and finger shoes on tibial shock attenuation
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonBiomechanics Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of running shoes and finger shoes on tibial shock attenuation. We hypothesized that tibial impacts would be higher in the finger shoes. -
Knowledge transfer of educational online concussion modules
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonAthletic Training Education Program, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)Sport-related concussion has become a major health concern resulting in new legislation mandating standardized concussion education for coaches and administrators. -
The effects of acute caffeine ingestion on perceived exertion and muscular strength endurance
(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, 2012-05-31)The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of caffeine supplementation on perception of workload intensity and muscular strength endurance during deadlift performance to failure. -
Effects of extended time of stretch on anaerobic exercise
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at ArlingtonNeuromusclar Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)Stretching is commonly used to prepare the body for work and protect the exercising muscles from sudden exertion. Ballistic, dynamic, active, passive, static, isometric and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching ... -
Mind body and the effects of music
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-05-31)The study is intended to show if music can affect one’s rate of perceived exertion (RPE) using heart rate (HR) as a validity measure while exercising. The hypothesis is the effect will be positive with the use of music ... -
The difference in aerobic capacity and anaerobic power between young male recreational basketball and soccer players
(Cardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at ArlingtonExercise Science Research Laboratories, The University of Texas at ArlingtonDepartment of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-06-11)Basketball and Soccer are two sports that are usually played recreationally that provide for an active lifestyle. At competitive levels of both sports athletes undergo different kinds of training in order to improve ... -
The relationship between gait measures and posturographical measures in an elderly population

Falls are the leading cause of accidental death in adults over 65 years, and are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for trauma. Most falls ... -
The supplement Beast Mode and its effect on anaerobic power
(Department of Kinesiology, The University of Texas at ArlingtonCardiovascular Research Laboratory, The University of Texas at Arlington, 2012-06-11)Anaerobic metabolism is the production of energy in the absence of oxygen and anaerobic power can be measured as either mean or peak power output in exercise that lasts thirty seconds or less. Power is force times velocity ... -
