5'-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase and Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 Response to Resistance Exercise in Young Versus Old Men and Women
(East Carolina University, 2009)
It has been shown that skeletal muscle 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and/or activity is more greatly elevated in response to resistance exercise or loading in aged rats, and that eukaryotic elongation ...
Increased Antagonist Coactivation-Related Hamstring Torque Reduces Maximal Knee Extension Torque in Healthy Old Adults
(East Carolina University, 2010)
As humans age, the ability to produce maximal voluntary torque decreases due to muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) and it is also known that advancing age alters the neural control of voluntary movement. One manifestation of the ...
NEURAL MECHANISMS CONTRIBUTE TO THE AGE RELATED INCREASE IN METABOLIC COST OF GAIT
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Aging is associated with biomechanical and physiological changes in several organ systems, including neural changes of voluntary movement. One manifestation of age-related changes in neural control of gait is the increased ...
The impact of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on muscular strength, muscle soreness and creatine kinase.
(East Carolina University, 1994-12)
The purpose of this study was to determine if there were any beneficial or detrimental effects regarding delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), serum creatine kinase (CK), and maximum concentric strength at 80% of 1-RMconc, ...
Impact of Reading for Pleasure Versus School During Exercise on Affective State Responses
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Based on the distraction hypothesis, an acute exercise session provides a time out from life stress and serves as an explanation for why exercise potentially improves affect. It is plausible that not all exercise settings ...
Effects of a Before School Physical Activity Program on Physical Activity and On-Task Behavior in Elementary School-Aged Children
(East Carolina University, 2010)
The prevalence of obesity in children has dramatically increased over the last few decades and physical inactivity has been identified as a main contributor. Schools are an ideal setting for children to engage in physical ...
POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE MUSCLE WORK OF NON-LEVEL WALKING IN LEAN AND OBESE ADULTS.
(East Carolina University, 2010)
When walking on non-level surfaces at a constant speed, an individual's total mechanical energy will increase when walking up an incline, and will decrease an equal amount going down a decline. Total muscle work performed ...
More Than Just Letting Them Play: Parental Influence on Women's Lifetime Sport Involvement
(East Carolina University, 2008)
This qualitative study uses expectancy-value and life course theories (Giele & Elder, 1998) to examine both the proximal and distal impact of early family socialization on enduring female participation in sport. Seventeen ...
Physical activity across the curriculum: year one process evaluation results
(East Carolina University, 2008-07-07)
Background: Physical Activity Across the Curriculum (PAAC) is a 3-year elementary school-based intervention to determine if increased amounts of moderate intensity physical activity performed in the classroom will diminish ...
A sex-specific relationship between capillary density and anaerobic threshold
(East Carolina University, 2009-04)
Although both capillary density and peak oxygen consumption (VO2) improve with exercise training, it is difficult to find a relationship between these two measures. It has been suggested that peak VO2 may be more related ...
