VARIABILITY IN POPLITEAL ARTERY BLOOD FLOW : EFFECT OF EXERCISE TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is regulated through changes in cardiac output (Q) and total peripheral resistance (TPR), where Q = heart rate (HR) x stroke volume (SV). Healthy heart rhythms have inherent variability and a ...
The Effects of Quadriceps Strengthening Exercise on Quadriceps Muscle Biomechanics During Locomotion in Adults with Knee Osteoarthritis
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease characterized by knee joint deterioration and pain, while also being associated with altered knee joint mechanics and quadriceps strength deficits. Research investigating the effects ...
Proximal vs. Distal Fascicle Behavior within the Biceps Femoris Long Head at Different Muscle Activation Levels
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Hamstring strains have been shown to occur more often in the long head of the biceps femoris (BFLH) than the semitendinosus and semimembranosus, with most injuries occurring in the proximal half of the BFLH. Muscle modeling ...
Paired Effects of Dietary Leucine Supplementation and Overload on Protein Translational Signaling and Hypertrophy in Aged Rat Skeletal Muscle
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Sarcopenia is an age-associated disorder that causes loss of skeletal muscle mass, particularly in type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers. This loss in muscle mass can cause disability, reductions in the quality of life, and ...
EFFECT OF A TELEPHONE-BASED INTERVENTION ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND COMPONENTS OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME IN ADOLESCENTS
(East Carolina University, 2013)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a two month telephone-based intervention in obese adolescents (BMI percentile [greater than or equal to] 95th percentile) on physical activity habits and motivation ...
Introducing portable pedal machines inside a university library to reduce sedentary behavior
(East Carolina University, 2013)
Background: Sedentary behavior is a health risk factor independent of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. Sedentary behavior takes place frequently in libraries. Few sedentary behavior interventions ...
ENERGY COST OF HEAVY LOAD CARRIAGE AND PROLONGED WALKING IN ROTC COLLEGIATE PARTICIPANTS
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The load military service members carry while marching has increased throughout history, and the military routinely uses rucksacks that range in weight from 22-68 kilograms, depending on the type of mission and weather ...
Prediction of Athletic Injury with a Functional Movement Screen
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Functional Movement Screen[superscript]TM (FMS) is a screening tool designed to quantify movement quality. The ability of the FMS to identify individuals likely to be injured has been examined in athletic and military ...
Manipulation and Perception of Internal and External Focus During Resistance Training
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-22)
Resistance training is an important element of a weekly training routine and is recognized to provide health benefits to those who participate by many of the governing bodies of exercise. Despite the evidence supporting ...
THE EFFECTS OF AGE ON ENDOTHELIAL RESPONSE TO HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING
(East Carolina University, 2023-07-21)
Purpose: The world population is growing exponentially older. The age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, termed sarcopenia, leads to loss of function and independence, disability, and increased mortality. Declining ...
