Relationship between Balance Confidence and Dynamic Computerized Posturography
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between balance confidence, as measured by the BES, and performance on the SOT as measured by the composite SOT score. -
The Effects of Caffeine on a Time-Trial Cycling Performance
Caffeine is one of the most widely consumed drugs in the world. Its mechanism of action has given it credibility as an ergogenic aid. It has been shown to stimulate the mobilization and oxidation of free fatty acids (FFA), ... -
The Effects of Core Stabilization on Blood Lactate Levels
The purpose of this research was to examine if Core Stabilization exercise enhanced blood lactate clearance following a Wingate Anaerobic Power Test (WAnT). -
Aerobic Capacity of Wheelchair Basketball Players during Arm Crank Ergometry vs Treadmill
It is difficult to determine the aerobic capacity of wheelchair athletes by the accepted standards and methods of testing. The levels of disability and the associated functionality of the individual as well as wheelchair ... -
Comparing Limit of Stability and Sensory Organization Test Scores as a Predictor of Fall Risk in Men and Women
Falls in older patients often occur when several tasks are performed simultaneously and have become the leading cause of injuries such as bone fractures. Factors such as reaction time, flexibility, and directional control ... -
Effects of VO2 Max Test on Short Term Memory
Exercise in healthy adults has been shown to small but positive effects on cognitive function. Short term or working memory is a limited storage system in which a memory is lost or decays rapidly. Short term memory is ... -
The Effect of Wearing Compression Garments on Responses to Submaximal Exercise
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 Relationship between Sleeping Habits and Body Fat Composition
The purpose of this research was to compare the relationship between sleeping habits and body fat composition. -
The Effects of Reading Distraction during Steady-State Exercise on Exercise Intensity
The consequence of reading during exercise on the cardiovascular response to exercise (e.g., heart rate response) and the intensity of the performed exercise remains incompletely understood through existing publications. ... -
Effects of Nitric Oxide Supplementation on Maximal Graded Exercise
Nitric oxide (NO) is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is released during exercise, stimulating vasodilatation, which increases blood flow to the muscles. It has become a popular form of supplementation in ... -
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
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 ... -
Functional Movement Screen Predicators: Can High FMS Scores be Predicted through Range of Motion, Strength, and Balance Measures?
There has been a steady increase in sport participation in the U.S. over the recent years, and with increases in activity comes a rise in the physical demands of sport on the musculoskeletal system. These demands coupled with ... -
Cryotherapy and its Effects on Shoulder Proprioception
Proprioception, or the relative sense of body position in space, is accomplished by a complex integration of multiple sensory receptors within the skin, muscle, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These proprioceptors continually ... -
The Effect of Cytomax Sports Drink on Blood Lactate Levels in a 400 m Run
During short term exercise, lactic acid is formed as a byproduct of glycolysis. It forms from pyruvate when oxygen is not present in the muscles. Lactic acid then diffuses from the muscles into the blood and is broken down ... -
The Effects of a Supplement (Body Rush) on Responses to a Maximal Stress Test
Body Rush is a nitric oxide booster supplement that claims to dramatically improve strength, stamina, and focus. The active ingredients that are projected to change the dynamics of one’s output are: L-Carnitine to turn fat ... -
The Effects of Caffeine on a Time Trial on a Cycle Ergometer
Some people wake up in the morning and grab that cup of coffee to get a boost of energy to get moving. Why is it that coffee is used for this? Perhaps, it’s because of the ingredients found in coffee, like caffeine, ... -
The Evaluation of Hand Strength in an Aging Population
Muscular deterioration is a well known effect that aging has on individuals. As a person gets older, their muscles naturally become worn down and more atrophied as compared to their younger counterparts. The ability of ... -
What Does It Take to be a National Cheerleading Champion?
Cheerleading involves the performance of skills requiring a high degree of muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, and determination. Despite the trend of cheerleaders performing increasingly difficult and ... -
The Effect of Compression Sleeves on Blood Lactate during an Arm Ergometer Max Test
Among athletes, the use of compression sleeves has been widely used with the intentions of increased flexibility, improved blood circulation, and increased muscle oxygenation. Therefore, the performance enhancements provided ...
